Perhaps the most interesting feature of
the convention was the fact that the speech

was made by former Gov. Frank S. Black,
who had been outside the organization

feated him two years ago when he desired

and his close friends, Abraham Gruber
and former District Attorney w. NJ. X.
OlCott of New York, We're very bitter. and
at the party primaries a week or so ago
Gruber was obliged to fight to maintain
his leadership of the twenty-first assembly
district New York city. against an op-
porent who was believed to have Senator
platts sympathy.
Black and PIatt ReconciIed.
Mr.. Gruber won, and since that time eff
forts have been made by friends of both
sides TO bring about a reconciliation be-
tween the former governor and his friends
and Senator Platt. with the result that to-
day Mr.. Black made the principal nominat-
ing speech. Mr.. Black said the issues now

Secret of Republican Success
'It is not by principle alone that the
success, the power of the republican party
has been achieved. The best of causes
may fail if they have not also the hest
Of representatives. The successful advo-
cate Of cause Is so faithful that he would
die for II. but so strong that he does not
nave 10. and the rare and almost unbroken
fortune of the republican party has been
that whenever the emergency has arisen
no matter how tempestuous the course
there was always a pilot who could steer
II and bring the ship to port without
throwing the cargo overheard

Depew Presents Woodruf's Name
Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew presented
the name Of Timothy l.. Woodruff for lieu

owing 10 the extent of those interests no
campaign I'm this state could be considered
local one. The Spanish war was review

the democratic party followed, in which
Mr.. Depew said:
Free silver free trade assaults on the
Supreme Court and efforts to throw away
the results of the war, a cOwardly disposi-
tiOn 10 sCuttle, are threatening the strong
holds of national faith, national credit and
national power. Our fight is to hold the
fort. Fer that purpose require our
leaders in our state men of demonstrated
capacity. public men who, in official rela
tions to the affairs OF government, have
become familiar with our policies and
measures and politicians who have been
so in touch with the party that they can
maintain harmony within the ranks and
present an impregnable front and lead
resistless attack against the forces of the
enemy.
