Mr.. Woodruff for Lieutenaut-Goveruor and
was received with great applause He looked IN
admirable health after his recent tour IN
Europe, and was in excellent voice. The audi

the State in the United States Senate. but also
one OF the leading business men OF the country.
and therefore listened with great interest 10
his depletion Of the business prosperity OF the
country Mr.. Depew took occasion early IN his
address to state that a great party emergency
in 1898 had led TO the nomination OF Theodore
Roosevelt for Governor but that conditions had
so changed that different type OF candldate
was now required The problem OF the party
now was to hold the fort
For that purpose he said ''we require as
our leaders IN our State men OF demonstrated
capacity. public men who. in official relations
10 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 impregnabla front and
lead a resistless attack against the forces OF
the enemy" Mr.. Depew then gave the conven-
ton ten minutes OF keen enjoyment BY paint

Bryan's financial policy and anti-expansiOn
policy. Mr.. Depew aroused great enthusiasm BY
saying: The cross Of gold, under the operations
of Republican principles. is not cross. but
minted coin. II has the eagle on one side and
the emblem OF our country on the other II IS
found in the pocket of the laborer and the wage
Garner. it has Ifted he nroErsass freul ths
farm; it has given unexampled impetus to the
development Of our industries. the progress or
our country and the stability OF cur credit" In
conclusion Mr.. Depew thus eulogized Mr. Wood

his public services his great popularity. and the
desire of the people of New-York TO have the
benefit OF his business talents, culture and
patriotism, nominate again for Lleutenant-GTov-
