fBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSEl
Ruralo Aug 1s.-Western New-York was
y,sibly stirred to-day by the presence Of Cover
nor Roosevelt at Silver Lake. in Wyoming
County The news that he was TO make two
addresses there in company with Lieutenant
Governor Woodruff, drew an immense con-
course Of people. All the railroads leading to
che vicinity from Buffalo. Rochester and Hor-
nellsville ran excursion trains to the lake, and
FIVE or six thousand farmers villagers and city
residents were thus transported TO the scene of
.he speechmakng.
II was a decidedly warm. midsummer day. but
no one seemed TO mind the heat. and since the
railroads pass through some OF the richest and
most picturesque farming lands in the State. the
tourney was greatly enjoyed. apparently. by all
who took It,
Governor Roosevelt had the experience once
more Of being nominated so TO speak for Presi-
dent Of the United States. The nomination was
fred pontblank al him by William A Suther-
land Of Rochester one Of Senator Platt's most
trusted lieutenants. Mr.. Sutherland in 1896
one Of NETWORKS delegates 10 the Republican
National Convention. and outwardy favored
the nomination OF Governor Morton for Presi-
dent Governor Roosevelt has read political
history and all about the fashion of nominating
Governors Of New-York for President-as long
as they have valuable State patronage at their
disposal and authority to veto the acts of a
legislature about to meet. He laughed heartily
when Mr.. Sutherland. after complmenting
President Mckinley, made his Roosevelt's)
nomination speech, and his amusement was
seemingly increased when Congressman James
" z O'Grady, another Of Senator Platt's
l!eutenants. approved Of Mr. sutherands &C.
g banquet. but It is we'll to state that the ban
ouet was given by the Methodsts, and that
there va. nothing stronger on the tables than
mineral water The speeches must be inter-
preted accordingly. as made in cold blood and
Messrs Sutherland and O'Grady, it may be re-
marked are men who never speak except by
design.
