| feature of the days trip was the meet
| ing here of the vice presidential can
| didate and United States Senator De-
pew, and of the grouping together up
| on one stage in this city within a
period of three hours of ex-COmptrol-
States Senator Depew and Governor
Roosevelt.
Wanted Replies to Questions.
The third feature was a precon-
certed attempt at Rome to compel
Governor Roosevelt to answer Ques-
tiOns concerning the letter of Mayor
Van Wyck, the prosecution of the ice
trust, the prosecution of the alleged
canal thieves, and others relating to
the office Of governor. That this at
tempt was precOncerted is assured
from the fact that men in the crowd
asked questions holding in their hands
printed slips, and upon their failure
to compel the candidate TO answer
numbers of these slips Were thrown
into his carriage. The governor posi-
lively declined to give expression of
opinion as to the circulars or their au-
thorship. or to answer any of the ques-
tions contained in them. With the
exception of a short trip of half an
hour t" Herkimer, where a brief ad-
dress was made, the eliminating
speeches of the day were at two i'm
mense meetings in this city. Senator
Depew preceding the governor, spoke
at some length ON trusts. Governor
Roosevelt follow.
Questions They Asked Roosevelt.
Here are the questions that were
asked the governor:
IL. Why did you not prosecute the
canal thieves as you promised when
you were a candidate for governor?
-. Why did you not commence ac-
tiOn before the claims were barred?
%. Why don't you have n summons
issued against the ice trust? The only
way to commence an action is by sum
mons. None has ever been served.
II. Why don't you remove the
mayor of New York for his connection
with the ice trust?
-. You have been only thirty-SiX
hours at the capitol attending to busi-
ness since June /. Do you think it
honest to take full pay during that
timeI
&c. Don't you think a candidate
for vice president should find courteous
language to express his thoughts and
not call his queStiOnerS 'hOodlums.'

knowledge on the subject. accuse
them of working their mouths stand

Platt are charged with being particeps
