That is the probable way that New
York will relieve itself.
1t may be said definitely that Cover
nor Roosevelt understands this and
with equal positiveness 1t may be de-
clared that he will accept the nomina-
tlon. He has made a brilliant fight.
fight rather unprecedented in political
annals, because 1t has been to prevent
nomination, not to obtain it. He has
beaten the political leaders in his own
state. He has demonstrated his ability
to play at political checkers with sena-
tor Platt and ex-senator Quay and 1t
may be said that had these been the
only clements he had to contend with
he would have beaten them both But
from the west and south has come such
strong demand for Roosavelt's norni-
nation that It has shaken his deterni-
nation and has compelled leaders who
desired to respect his wishes, leaders
close to the administration TO bow to a
popular feeling that could not be sup
pressed.
Resigned to the situntion.
For Governor Roosevelt, 1t may be
said that he has resigned himself to the
situation. Leaving the convention he
went directly to the private house at
which Mrs. Roosevelt was staying, de-
claring that he had done everything in
his power. to stop the nomination and
that he was now through. At his head
quarters many delegates called and
we're told that he was not to be seen.
Most significant Is the attitude of the
woodruff element Mr.. Woodruff him

morning that I believed nothing could

down into the delegates pit before the
