Whole Family Of That Party.

Washington. June 21.-Secretary Cortelyou OF
the Department Of Commerce and Labor left
here this afternoon for Chicago TO attend the
Republican National Convention. He will arrive
in Chicago tomorrow evening. Advices re-
ceved by President Roosevelt and other leaders
here from the convention indicate that doubt OF
Secretary COrteIyou's selection as national chair
man has been removed entirely. Such opposition
as existed to Mr. Cortelyou has been disspated.
and the belief in authoritative quarters here
is that he will be elected unanimously by the
new national COMMITTEES at its meeting subse-
quent 10 the adjournment Of the convention.
IT is pointed out that much of the opposition
10 Mr.. Ccrtelyou's selection as national chair
man tina. existed was because OF the statement
made in various forms that he was at one time
a Democrat and that he is a heart a free
trader. A high official Of the government. who
has known Mr. Cortelyou for many years. to-
night authorized the following statement con
corning Ny. Cortelyou's politica! record:

WHAT THE CONVENTION LOOKS LIKE
Folks at home who would get good idea of what
the convention IN session looks like have only 10
imagine Themselves IN a building not unlike Madi-
son Square Garden IN the interior but somewhat
smaller. The platform is directly in front of the
place where the reviewing stand is in the garden
ana the delegates are seated below and all around
with New-York and Ohio in front. To-day the
crowds began pouring in $ soon as the doors were
opened at 1890 o'clock. BY noon there were about
eighty-hve hundred people. including. probably a
thousand women, in the building. with a few hun
dred seats vacant for which spectators were try
Ing TO sci! tickets around the streets.
Henry {. Payne opened the proceedings at 1910
O'Clock, and trihe two hours later the as
sembiage was dispensing. There a thing
sensational or even dramatic from the beginning
to the end. The popular fsvorites pointed
out and cheered and things ran along pretty much
they do at a State convention when there is not
a thing 10 fight against.
The acoustic properties OF the Coliseum not
good. Elihu Root had all his power 10 send
his voice far enough 20 reach the auditors and
Governor Black is somewhat afraid that his speech
nominating Roosevelt may not be generally heard.
