THE WORK OF THE DAY
SPEECHES BY WOODRUFF AND STRAIN
AHAN AND STATE PLATFORM.
Icy TELEGRAPH TO THE TR1BuNr.l

Saratoga, ". Y, Sept 4.-The Republican
State Convention was called TO order to-day in
a flower bedeckeda hunting draped and flag
decorated hall. Early2in the forenoon the crowd
began to make its way to the place of meeting.
In the past when State conventions have been
held in Saratoga, they have come so late that
the regular season was over, and the cottagers
and others who come here TO rest and TO drink
the waters were gone. This year. however. the
cottages are still open. and the hotels well
filed with the usus, cFogVd This has had no
little effect upon the Convention form a pict-
uresque standpoint. The greatest interest was
manifested in the convention by the cottagers
and guests of the hotels. These people. who
seldom take great interest in politics, have
shown a healthy and lively interest in this one,
and for that reason there was an almost un-
precedented demand for tickets. The Conven-
ton Hall, however is conmodious, and nearly
every one who wanted a ticket was cared for.
This is the week of the floral festival, and this
display takes place in the Convention Hall
This explains why the bare outlines of the big
hall are smothered in lavish floral decorations,
and ported plants. trailing vines and palms
make the big building look more like a con-
servatory than a Convention Hall. Added
70 this. the galleries anc visitors seats presented
most attractive appearance. The women in
their gay summer gowns and the men in fiannels
clined 20 believe that 1t was a social happening
rather than a serious State convention.
GREETING TO THE DELEGATES
The hall filled up rapidly in the forenoon. A
band stationed in the gallery played from time
to time. The programme ran through from
Tagtime to classical airs. The audience eX-
pressed its appreciation Of the music by frequent
and emphatic applause. AS the hall filed UP
and Republicans Of note began 10 come in the
audience lost interest in the music and began to
ask eagerly who each person was who received
any attention.
The first to receive any considerable applause
r~vas Senator Nevada y. Stranahan. Then in
order, Senator Krum, Senator White Louis F.
Payn, Senator Elsberg and others were recog-
7aized and cheered. Senator Plat entered a few
tlnoments before II o'clock. He was cheered and
iapplauded as he walked down the aisle and until
after he took mis- seat while the band merrily
played rocketing ragtime melody, Il Certainly
Does Love You" Senator Depew received a
great ovation. The audience caught him before
he entered the door. and the applause was kept
up with impetuousness and vigor for several
moments.
When Mr.. Odell, in his capacity Of State chair

Chicago Business Men.
Senator Hanna made speech in Chi

commercial men and retail statesmen The
hall where he spoke was filled, several
women being in the audience He said in
part:
1T Is encouraging for me to see that
the business interests and the workingmen
of the United States are awakening to the
Importance of the issues. Every demo-
cratic issue that has been presented to
the American public thus far has been

minds of the people from the real issue.
There is but one issue-only one-the issue
of prosperity and the continuation of it.
The issue today is just what 1t was in
