CHILTON LEAVES
 FIELD TO BAILEY
Has Withdrawn from Texas Sen-
 ateriaI Race.
ATTRIBUTED TO ILLNESS
Bed With Lagrippe, and Was Unable to Continue
 His Campaign

Dallas, Tex, April 17.-Yesterday Con- gressman J. W. Bailey of Gainesville car ried Travis county in the race for United States senator by about 1,200 majority The campaign in that county for his op- ponent. Senator Horace Chiffon, was con- ducted by ex-Governor James S. Hogg Today Senator Chiffon withdrew from the race.
 Announcement to this effect was made by his campaign manager as follows ITO the Democracy of Texas
 T am today in receipt of the following telegram:
 " Taylor, Tex, April 12 1900 U TO R. N. Stafford, Dallas, Texas.
 Hon. Horace Chiffon, since his return from Washington, has been suffering with a severe case of grippe and overwork With absolute quietude and rest he may recover his health in five or six weeks. He can only sit up an hour or two per day. He will not be able to leave his home un- der five weeks
 Upon taking charge of Senator Chiltons campaign, I thought that within a few days he would be able to enter the canvass personally, but now know that his illness is of such nature that he will not be able to leave his home home within four or five weeks, if then.
 ''It is source of great pleasure and pride to his friends over the state that his private life Is pure, without flaw or blem- ish, and that his services to his state as United States senator have been able, faithful and conscientiuos and he stands in the front ranks of his fellow sena- tors.
 Afflicted as he is, and unable to visit any sections of the state, or even read the com munications of his friends, while his op ponent is making vigorous, active pre- cinct campaign in almost every county in the state it Is readily seen that he is at great disadvantage.
 "Without criticism or asperity toward his opponent or those who have seen proper to esopuse his cause, and with gratitude to his faithful friends, who have so zealously and earnestly supported him, he withdraws his name as candidate for reelection to the United States senate and requests his announcement be made pub lie.
 (Signed) '"R. N. STAFFORD"

James S. Sherman Chairman

Congressman James s. Sherman acted as permanent chairman. When Lemeuel E. Quigg. chairman of the committee on resolutions, came to the stage to read the platform, he was greeted with mingled misses and applause. MT Quigg waited until the noise had subsded and then read the platform, which was adopted.
 It endorsed the administrations of Presi- dent Mckinley and Governor Roosevelt
 The policy of this government was good The status of "Spain's conquered colon- ial possessions" is approved as character istically American, the platform continu- ing:
 "The Independence of Cuba pledged to Cuba and proclaimed to the world in the declaration of war, has been secured and advanced by every public act. The Ameri- can military force in Cuba has been re- duced. Local government has been estab- lished and steps are now being taken for popular elections in Cuba to elect there a free government of the Cuban people, pre- paratory to the complete withdrawal of American authority.
 Tn Porto Rico, which has become for all time American territory, civil governmen. and liberal laws have been provided.
 "The insurrection in the Philippine islands has been overcome, organized re- bellion no longer exists, and the establish ment of American authority in all the islands is proceeding to the contentment of their inhabitants"
 During the day the Kings county delega- ton made a formal demand of Senator Platt that the convention endorse the can didacy of Lieutenant-Governor Woodruff for the vice presidency. MT. Platt de- clined, but said: You will find before I get through that I am the best friend MT. Woodruff has in his candidacy"

REPUBLICANS ARE
 IN CONVENTION New York Names Delegates to National Convention. AN OVATION TO ROOSEVELT He Was Cheered for Both Vice-Presi- dent and Governor Woodruff Also Got Share of the
 Applause.
AN OVATION TO ROOSEVELT

New York, April 1.-The republican con- vention today named two United States senators, governor and the second in command of the state organization as their choice for delegates-at-large to the national convention.
 Then they complimented the newspaper profession by naming as electors-at-large the proprietor and editor of a Buffalo news paper and the proprietor and editor of a Rochester newspaper. The men signally honored were:
 United States Senator Thomas c. Platt, United States Senator Chauncey M. Depew, Governor Roosevelt and State Committee man B. B. O'Dell as delegates-at-large, and Edward H. Butler of Buffalo and F. A. Mitchell of Rochester as electors-a at- large.
 The convention demonstrated that so far as individual delegates went, they were not quite decided in their preference as to whether Governor Roosevelt should be candidate for governor or for vice presi- dent; whether they wanted T. L. Woodruff for lieutenant governor again or for vice president. When the temporary and per manent chairman announced the candidacy of Governor Roosevelt for a second term the convention went wild with enthusiasm, but when MT. Sherman coupled the names of Mckinley and Roosevelt, the applause and enthusiasm were still greater So it was impossible to diagnose the attitude of the majority of the delegates toward the governor.
 It is believed, however, that the general trend is toward the renomination of Gov ernor Roosevelt and the pushing of IT. l.. Woodruff for second place on the national ticket.

Behaved in Gallant Manner

In conclusion, General Warren said:
 'On the other hand it is only right to state that Thorny Croft appears to have behaved in very gallant manner through out the day. Roberts continues:
 Tt is to be regretted that Warren him. self did not visit Spion Kop in the after noon or evening, knowing as he did that the state of affairs was very critical and that the loss of the position would involve the failure of the operations. He conse- quently was obliged to summon Coke to his headquarters, and the command at Spion Kop thus devolved upon Thorny Croft, unknown to Coke, who was under the impression that the command devolved upon olonel Hill as senior officer. Omissions or mistakes of this nature may be trifing in themselves, yet they may exercise an important influence over the course of events, and I believe Butler was justified in remarking, There was want of organ -ization and system which acted most un- favorably on the defense.' The attempt to relieve Ladysmith was well devised, and I agree with Butler in thinking it ought to have succeeded. That it failed may in some measure have been due to the difficulties of the ground and the commanding posi- tons held by the enemy, and probably also to errors of judgment and want of admin istrative capacity on the part of Warren. But whatever faults Warren may have committed, the failure must also be attrib- uted to the disinclination of the officer in supreme command to assert his authority and see that what he thought best was done, and also to the unwarrantable and needless assumption of responsibility by subordinate"
