found that Gregolrc's heart was on the right side

Justice and Benjamin Webster Of Helena. for
Clerk Of the Supreme Court.
Senator Carter was made permanent chairman
OF the convention. and made long speech. He
thanked the convention and greeted the delegates
as the chosen representatives OF a reunited party.
He declared that from the day of its birth the

It's interests were rather with illinois and Iowa
than Florida and Alabama The Democratic party
has he said. stolen the old clothes Of the Popuist
party In the effort to get back into power. Passion
and prejudice and all other bad elements were ap-
peaed to by the Democratic party OF free trade The
speaker pointed out the difference between Mon
tana conditions Of 1896 and 1895 The Senator de-
nounced the present State administration and re-
viewed at length the Republican policy In the past
and In the future. He made no reference TO the
silver question. being content to say that all ques

The platform does not include the words silver
and gold, the financial plank being follows:
We indorse without reservation or exception the
declaration Of principles adopted by the last Ma
tional Republican Convention as promising wise
policies Of public action and bringing to the coun-
try prosperity which We have not had heretofore.
The Administration is Endorsed follows:
We renew our abiding faith in the prudence, the

VIEW OF FREDERIC x. COUDERT.
HE SAYS THAT ROOSEVELT IS Eligible
FOR THE NOMINATION-CONF1D
OF MR. DEPEW.


FOR THE NOMINATION-CONFlDE
OF MIR. DEPEw.
Frederic r. Coudert takes the view that Colo
mel Roosevelt is eligible for the nomination.
His view as stated yesterday, is as follows: i
have only looked into this matter hastily ana
superhcially, and therefore cannot give as de-
lberate a judgment as the importance OF the
question requires.
| do not believe however. that there Is enough
in the point seriously to alarm Colonel Roose-
velts friends or TO impose a substantial barrier
between hin and the nomination. IL is true
that his affidavit states that he had abandoned
his home in NewYork and taken up his resi-
dence in Washington. But this Is not conclusive
in its effect The circumstances must be exam
lned and construction put upon the language
used. which will he in harmony with the iacts'
Ii is known that Colonel Roosevelt was ana had
been during the whole of his life cltlzen OF
New-York. and that he only left that nome III
order to enter the public service OF the United
States. Whether he was absent one year or
twenty does not affect the point. so long as
First-He actually entered the public service.
and his duties required him to live in Washing
ton.
Second-So long as he had preserved an In
tention to return to his home In New-fork'
which probably one questions.
II seems to me- therefore. that IN deciding
the point raised one must look at II on the day
when Colonel Roosevelt actually took M his
official home in Washington. The intervening
period should he disre garded.
