Perhaps the most interesting feature
OF the convention, was the fact that the
speech nominating Benjamin. B. odell
for governor was made by Former Gov
ernor Frank S. Black. who had been
outside the organization brenstworks
since Theodore Roosevelt defeated him
two years ago, when he desired a re-
nomination.. For a long time Mr.. Black
and his close friends, Abraham Gruber
and Former District AttorneySHy. N. X
olcott, OF New Y ork, Were very bitter
and at the party primaries a, week or SO
ago, Mr.. Grubsr was obliged to fight to
maintain his leadership OF the twenty
first assembly district, New York City,
against an opponent who was believed
to have Senator Platt's sympathy.

The issues now are as they were in
1896. They We're then met and under
stood, and, as completely as the
Spanish fleet ut Santiago. they were
sunk or run ashore. The Democratic
party since then has been engaged in
prying some OF them OF the rocks and
trying to make them float. That Will
never be done. Those issues will
never be iseaworthy again, and II they

Causes and Representatives.
TT Is not by principles alone that the
success, the power of the Republican
party has been achieved, The best Of
causes may fail II they have not also
the best of representatives. The sue
