National Delegates Chosen-The Vice
Presidency Talk.

New York, April 17.-JThe republican
state convention held here to-day chose
two United States senator's, governor
and the second in command of the re-
at large to the national convention. The
convention named as electors at large
the proprietor and editor of Buffalo
newspaper and the proprietor and editor
of a Rochester newspaper. The men
signally honored We're United States
Senators Platt and Depew, Governor
Roosevelt and State Committee Chair
man Odell as delegates a large and Ed
ward H. Butler of Buffalo and f. A.
Mitchell of Rochester as electors at
large.
The convention was not enthusiastic
at it's morning session, but was demon
strative at it's afternoon session. 1t DEM
onstrated that so far as individual del
egates went they We're not quite decided
in their preference as to whether Gov
ernor Roosevelt should be candidate
lUI SONeIl VI IOI VICE VI
whether they wanted T.. l.. Woodruff
for lieutenant governor or vice presi-
dent. When both the temporary and i,
permanent chairmen announced the
candidacy of Governor Roosevelt for a
second term the convention went wild
with enthusiasm, but when Mr.. Sher-
man coupled the names of Mckinley
and Roosevelt the applause and enthu-
siasm' We're still greater.
1t is believed, however, that the gen.
era trend is towards the denomination
of Governor Roosevelt and the pushing
of T. l.. Woodruff for second place on
the national ticket. The convention had
the unique distinction Of having no bus
mess for the committee on contested
seats to perform and of having no in
terruption of the programme laid out by
the organization.
The platform adopted endorsed the
administration of President Mckinley
and declared that the republican pledges
had been redeemed. The Kings county
delegation made a formal demand on
Mr. Platt this afternoon to endorse in
open convention the candidacy of Lieu
tenant Governor Woodruff for the vice
presidential nomination. Mr. Platt de- |
clined, but said: You will find before
/ get through that l am the best friend |
Mr.. Woodruff has in his candidacy"
