Roosevelt, that the Juror raised over

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CON
VENTION.

1t now seems to be generally under
stood that Governor Roosevelt will &C
cept the nomination for Vice President
If it be rendered him by the republican
national convention which met in Phila-
delphis today. He has never said he
would decline it, and that the ticket
will be Mckinley and Roosevelt" is
now q settled fact. Hanna, however, is
fighting the Plstt and Quay boom for
Roosevelt, and he may be overwhelmed
by his opponents tactics. 1t has come
out privately, through southern dele
cations, that some of them have been
approached with the proposition to
vote for Roosevelt for President against
Mckinley. Plstt and Quay planned to
have Roosevelt's name presented to The
convention for first place on the ticket.
IL was recognized by the administra-
ton people that this was hold.up de-
signed TO compel the acquiesceOce OF
Hanna ia the nomination Of Roosevelt
for Vice President. A hurried consul
tation was held by Hanna and some OF
mis- tru,ty lieutenants. The President
was communicated with by long dis
lance telephone, and it was determined
that, even though it might be impossible
to stampede the convention to Ro0se
welt for President, the presentation OF
his name, even with the support of no
more than the Pennsylvania and New
Yorh delegates, would break up the
harmony of the convention, destroying
the cherished plan for the nomination
of Mckinley by acclamstion,
Virginia's delegation declared itself
for Roosevelt if he could be induced to
make the race. After Roosevelt they
we're inclined to favor Deliver, but
said that they would prefer him to any
man whom the New York delegation
might agree upon. Mr.. Park Agnew,
delegate large from the State, said:
"We do not think there will be any
necessity of considering any second per-
son if Roosevelt will consent to run.
We think he is the best man for the po-
sition il be will accept. After ROos.-
welt we like Bliss very we'll, but Dolli-
yer is a good man and we think very
well of his chances. rhe one trouble
to our mind regarding Dolliver is that
he is not from State where he can add
much strength to the ticket"
Virginia organized during the day.
As to the Vice Presidency, Delegate
Morgan Treat, United States marshal,
said: "We will give Senator Scott
complimentary vote if his name is pre-
sented. There is no concerted action
after that. am for Dolliver. RoOse-
welt has friends among US, but there is
no stampede for him."
