SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.-THE sentiment
Army men here is so unanimous in favor
OF Gen. John c. Black of Chicago for Com
mandor-in-Chief that his election on the
first ballot is regarded as assured.
Indeed as it now stands, there seems
little chance Of any competitors in the field.
Certain influences are working for Gen.
Miles with the idea If he should gain strength
1t might be possible to pass resolutions
censuring the Administration for its treat
ment of him.
Gen. Miles has declared that he will
not oppose Black, but his friends saythat
1t will not be difficult TO persuade him to
enter the contest
In the Department Of Texas considerable
i'll feeling has been aroused over Miles.
Some of the posts favor him, but greater
number favor Black. Joseph A. Mower
Post passed resolution criticising Presi-
dent Roosevelt for snubbing Miles and
urging the DEPARTING Commander and
the delegates to the encampment to sup
port Miles.
Department Commander Bolton of Texas
is indignant over the action Of Mower
Post. He said to-day:
Its amazing that Mower Post. the small
est in the Department, having only ten
members, should arrogate to itself dctation
to the Department Commander and dele
gates how to vote
"While we admire Gen, Miles we cannot
do otherwise than vote for Gen. Black
This is the sentiment Of most Of the other
delegates.
Twenty-three thousand veterans and
their wives are now In the city to attend the
encampment. The railroads have brought

ROOT WON'T RUN FOR GOVERNOR.
Would Decline Nomination Declined Vice.
Presidency Three Years Ago.

WASHINGTON, Aug H-Reports have
reached Washington that President Roose-
welt is in favor of the nomination of Secre-
tary Root for Governor Of New York.
Whatever foundation there may be for the
statement, it can be said definitely that
Secretary Root does not want the nominal
ton for Governor and that he would GER
tainly decline if it were offered to him
Mr. Root is sincerely DESTROYS Of retiring
as much as possible from official life and
devoting his attention to his law practice.
To accept the nomination for Governor Of
New York would mean the sacrifice Of con-
siderable personal comfort, besides greatly
interfering with his plans for the future.
He would. it is said, be glad to do any
thing in behalf of his State, as he did
when he became Secretary of War at
the solicitation Of President Mckinley, but
he does not feel that New York needs his
services so much that he should become
Governor when there are plenty Of available
candidates who would perform the duty just
as well.
An illustration of Secretary Roots close
attention to duty is found in a letter which
was read Saturday night by Postmaster
General Payne at the banquet given by the
General STAFF OF the army in honor of the
Secretary Of War,
There were a number OF speeches made
on that occasion and when the Postmaster
General had concluded his remarks he
read letter from Secretary Root, declining
the Vice-Presidency because he felt that the
work Of the War Department growing out
of the war with Spain demanded his atten-
ton at the War Department.
President Mckinley had offered the Vice.
Presidency to Secretary Root, but he ex-
planned how urgent it was that he should
remain where he was, and also wrote to the
chairman OF the convention, stating his
reason for declining tho honor.
