Saratoga, Sept. 5.-The last days ses-
sion of the Republican convention, pre-
sumed to be devoted to the nominations
Auf state officers, was really a huge mass
Xlnceting, an opening of the state cam
IApaign and a ratification of the national
W;lnd state platforms. The weather was
Nperfcct, and the fact that Governor
Itoosevelt and Senator Depew, to say
Mnothing of the other orators, were to
&talk brought forth II great crowd to the
sesson. And so in bursts OF oratory
#staltrd by eX-Governor Frank S. Black
&and ended by Governor Theodore Roose

3fiamnton:

W Perhaps the most interesting feature of
the session was the appearance upon the
platform of Frank S. Black, Theodore
Il Roosevelt and b. B. Odell Jr 1t was
NBlack who after Odell had been promised
the nomination for governor in 1896 was
Nominated, and it was Roosevelt who in
1S!IS was given the nomination that by
all precedent should have gone to Gov
Ecrndr Black. Naturally there was ex-

3ent assimilating of all elements of the
sparty, and it led Mr.. Platt to say rather
&eNultantly during the day. I'VE present a
amore united front to the enemy this year
than for some time, while our opponents
Yin the state seem to be hopeessly di-
i}vided.'
Despite the early hour of assembling
q great crowd was gathered before the
4doors long before they were opened and
when admission was finally permitted the
8rllsh was very great. The delegates filed
rapidly into their places. When Senator
#I'latt appeared at the head of the center
aisle, nearly all the delegates were in
4tlleir seats, and he was given a great oval
5tion, which continued as he walked down
The aisle and even after he had taken his
Seat with the 1ioga delegation.
I'D Chairman Stranahan took up the gavel
and raped for order. After repeated
rappings, Mr.. Stranahan said. "The con-
Tention will be in order and the first or
tler of business is the naming of candi-
tiate for governor"
After moments hesitation he said,
1.-THE chair recognizes the gentleman
8from Rensselaer,, Governor Black"
Demonstration For Black.
Then followed the most enthusiastic
demonstration thus far of the convention.
A tremendous shout arose from every
section of the hall. As he arose in his
seat the delegates arose with him and the
Chez ag continued for some time. grow
ing in force as he walked down the aisle
to the platform and breaking forth again
with renewed vigor as he stepped to the
front of the platform.
As ii subsided a New York delegate
arose and proposed three cheers for Gov
ernor Black, and these were given with
enthusiasm. Governor Black spoke in n
peculiarly happy vein, and his first utter
nnces gained the sympathy and good ma
ture of his audience which he maintained
to the finish.
He was frequently interrupted with ap-
plause, and when he finally concluded
with the presentation of Mr. Odell's name
the whole convention arose to its feet
with enthusiasm and cheered. The band
ptSNi W plH.s anu MUS anu luSS were
waved throughout the hall in consonance
with the continued cheering.
"A banner which had been stationed in
the New York delegation was grabbed
from its standard and borne to the plat
form. 1t bore the inscription: "The Hap
Rpiest Words of Tongue or Pen Are
These: We viii Have Ben.'
When this demonstration had at last
spent itself. Chairman Stranallan recog-
nized Seward Simons of Erie county,
who mounted to the platform to second
the nomination of Mr.. Odell. Mr.. ST.
mons is a graceful speaker and held the
kclose att4Ston of his vast audience. Mr..
Em0us concluded amid enthusiastic ap-
plause.
@whippIe Seconds Nomination.
Mr.. James s. Whippe proceeded to
Second the nomination of Mr.. Odell.
As Mr.. Whipple concluded Chairman
Stranahan announced that If there were
no more nominations the clerk would
call the roll upon the nomination of i
candidate for governor. The first inc
dent of the roll call was when Lieutenant
Governor Woodruff arose to announce
the vote of Kings county and was greet
ed with applause. Another protract4d
demonstration greeted Abraham Gruber

Twenty-tirst district of New York; and
