drops at the meeting of the republican
state committee. The committee met at
the state headquarters al noon, with
every one of the thirty-eight members
present or represented by proxy. The
only business before the meeting was the
adoption of the call for the state con-
veEtion to elect the delegates at large
to the national convention
1t had not been expected by the leaders
of either faction of the committee that
any resolution indorsing Gov. Hughes
for President would be offered, as the
adoption of such a resolution is no way
binding in the state or congressional dis
trio, conventions. But at the last moment
ex-RepfeSentative William III. Douglass,
who is a personal friend of the governor
and lives in the fifteenth assembly dis
trict i'm which Gov. Hughes formerly
lived and voted. offered long eulogistic
resolution of Endorsement. Before offer
ing the resolution Mr.. Douglass made
speech eulogizing in the highest terms
both President Roosevelt and Gov.
Hughes. When he mentioned the name
of the President Charles w. Anderson.
collector of internal revenue. who was
appointed by President Roosevelt, clapped
his hands real hard. No other person in
the room clapped single clap. Ander-
son. who sat well up in front, turned to
his fellow members of the committee and
asked: why don't you clap? The re-
ply was general laughter.
Douglass Spread-Eagle Speech.
When Mr.. Douglass, after long spread
eagle speech. mentioned in his peroration
the name of Gov. Hughes six of the
thirty eight committeeman present clapped
their hands three times each, and then
silence fell uron the meeting. At the end
of the reading of the resolution of
Endorsement offered BY Mr. Douglass the
silence in the room was oppressive. When
Chairman Woodruff called for an aye and
nay vote ten members of the committee
voted aye almost in whispers and the
other twenty-eight remained silent.
After the adjournment of the meeting
the general expression of opinion among
the members who would talk at all, and
they were all guarded in their talk, was
to the effect that the incident was a de-
cided frost for the Hughes BOOM

SETH LOWS TRIBUTE Cleveland 8 Friends Loved Him for the Enemies He Had
 Made"
LEADERSHIP MASTERFUL
Merchants Bankers and Professional Men Attend Meeting In His
 Memory.

New York, June 26,-At noon to- day special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held Tn memory of ex-President Cleveland, an honorary member of the chamber
 There was large attendance, many prominent merchants, bankers, and professional men being present Seth Low presided, and said In part.
 l read yesterday that politically MT. Cleveland was an accident, due pri- marily to q quarrel in republican ranks in the state of New York. It may indeed be that opportunity came to him in this fashion; but 1t was no accident that, when the opportunity came, Mr Cleveland was ready for 1t and equal to the occasion.
 He had certain masterful quality of leadership that both attracted and held his friends, and that also com manded popular support. The most conspicuous Illustration of his possess sion of this rare quality was given ou the occasion of his second nomination for the presidency, when he was nom mated against the opposition of the entire delegation from his own state. Then was born that historic phrase. We love him for the enemies he has made. which ever since has been the slogan for every man who has dared to attack and oppose evil in the public interest.
 His place In the history of the United States Is. unique. He Is the only man who has been reelected president after having once suffered defeat: and he Is tn only man whom hls party has sue ceeded In eleetlng 10 the presidency since the outbreak of the CIvu war. II you will try to realize the slgnfl- canoe of the fact that these incidents aro exceptional In our history you will be able to form some Idea of the sn- gular greatness of the man for whom the nation Is mourning to-day.
 Mir. Cleveland's first election gave a powerful impulse to the constantly growing reunion in heart of the north and the south; for 1t placed men of the Confederacy in cabinet office and sent them abroad 10 represent the restored Union. This happy tendency received Its dramatic completion when men who wore the blue and men who wore tho gray fought during the Spanish war under leaders of both sides. under tho old flag. MT. Cleveland's second cleo tion to the presidency illustrated the power of an idea fortunately personlfled and cogently enforced, Mir Cleveland believed in tariff reform with All hls heart and 1t detracts nothing from the magnitude of the victory of his re- election that, after all, the people who gave him the victory were not ready 10 sustain the policy whicn he propos. ed
 It is certainly due to Mir Clevelands courage and decision that the country was saved from losing the gold stand. ard In 1893. II Is Impossible 10 measure the magnitude of the disaster which the country was thus spared. for it is always impossible to tell what would have been the far-reaching consequence es of a danger that has been escaped; but this at least is certain, that twico thereafter his countrymen were invited to enter upon the road from which he turned them, and both times they shrank back affrlghted

 At 1 o'clock dinner was served at the Inn. There was no speaking after 1t and the party adjourned to the lawns. The Second Regiment band had been brought along and band concert was enjoyed. About o'clock came the call for the return and the Knights arrived back in New Haven In time for supper.
