Low, Grout and Fornes were renomi-
mated by the Republican city convention
at Grand Central Palace last night, while
the Citizens Union convention was doing
the same thing down at Cooper Union.
The amens were spoken spontaneously.
r. Fulton Cutting was around the skirts
Of the Republican convention crowd an
interested observer. The gathering in
cluded quite grouping of women in the
galleries. It would not be fair to say that
enthusiasm ever mounted high. Timothy
l.. Woodruff. who was permanent chair
man Of the convention, and NJ Linn Bruce
got cheers. The applause when Mr.. Wood
ruff mentioned President Roosevelt's name
lasted nine seconds. Half a dozen good
laughs came into the programme.
Mr.. Woodruff got one when he injected
into his prepared speech a remark about
poor old Hep, discarded by the Greater
New York Democracy, and again when he
said the delegates understood pretty we'll
that the Republican party wouldn't get
much from the continuance Of the present
administration. Col Michael j. Dady,
no longer a Commissioner Of Election
led the laughter full breath.
"You people seem to take It good
naturedly," said Mr.. Woodruff.
Mr.. Woodruff also told the convention
that Mr.. Low might have been President
if he had taken the stump for James G.
Blaine.
Mr.. Woodruff upset pitcher Of water
on his trousers and his speech. He picked
up the drenched manuscript, which he
had not referred to, and asked the audience
not TO believe that he was putting any
cold water on the ticket
MORNING ASSEMBLY.
The conventions first session opened at
noon. When Col. Dady got to the en-
closure where the 400 delegates had seats
he had lost his ticket He iumbed through
his pockets, couldn't find it and pulled
out his handbook TO see if it had slipped
into that.
Daddy" said the Colonel, exhibiting the
handbook to the man. at the gate.
"That'll do" said the guard.
Col. Dady weighed the book in his hand,
dropped the lid of the right eye unit little
lashes lay on the cheek and observed, "Im
not the first man who got into a political
convention on his handbook
Horatio C. King, lso a delegate from
Brooklyn, sat down with Col. Dady in the
front row on the centre aisle. The Colonel
related the story of the handbook.
shut OUT. said Gen. King. Why. you
could get in on blank check"
Along came Norman Dixie, Sheriff of
Kings county, rejecting the latest ex-
preston in morning dress:
Here's Mike, Dixie" said Gen. King.
Morning, Dixie"
Morning, Mike"
Then Col. Dady leaned over and whis-
pered to Gen. King: is it true Dixie makes
the prisoners at the Jail get into evening
clothes at o.
The noon session of the convention
brought few spectators. There was a
band in the gallery, and two scrubwomen
who took a large part in the applause.
NJ Linn Bruce had an aisle seat in the Man
haitian delegation. just behind was n
chair draped in black as a mark of respect
for Frederick $. Gibbs.
Gerard B. Van Wart Of Brooklyn, as
chairman of the CITY committee, called
the meeting TO order. Louis Stern, the
merchant, president of the Republican
Club. was chosen temporary chairman.
William H. Ten Eyck Of The Bronx and
Jacob Bremen of Brooklyn were appointed
to escort him to the chair. Mr.. Stern got
hearty welcome from the convention.
He said
