the Philadelphia convention. their
motives were perfectly understood and
were not in the least the factor that
turned the situation in the end.
Mr.. Roosevelt, four months in ad-
vance, had given to the press a for
mai statement to the effect that under
no circumstances would he accept a
nomination for the Vice Presidency.
In the great campaign Of 1896 many
OF the Western States had been car
ried by the Populists The Western
Republicans, wishing to make sure of
thelr local situations demanded
Roosevelt for the strengthening of the
ticket in 1900. They declared that
the party needed Linn and must have
him on the ticket and in tho cam
paign; and they freely pledged them
selves that under any circumstances
they would make him President i'm
1904. 1t was not Mr. platts intrigues
and his alleged award Of the Cover
norship to Odeli that led Roosevelt
to sacrifice his own wishes at Phila-
delphia. 1t was rather his feeling that
ne must respond TO that larger call
from the whole country, which had
become irresistible through the lack
of any other well-presented candidacy
for the second place on the ticket.
Mr.. Roosevelt has long been in the
game of party politics; but he was
never in the game in that craven, alb
ject fashion set forth in these Platt
"reminiscences. Seldom has anything
ever been printed in the field Of poll
tics which so illustrates the blindness
of certain type of so-called leader.
At Albany this winter we have been
reaping the aftermath of the sort of
political and legislative life that was
built up under the boss-ship Of Mr..
Platt, the gradual disintegration of
which dates from the Governorship
Of Mr.. Roosevelt. Public opinion
sometimes arouses itself tardily, but
in the end it prevails over the in
trigues and star-chamber methods of
the bosses and spoilsmen.-From

a Tennessee firm. The order issued
AZ the Governors office this morning
concludes an interesting contention -
the matter Of eXtradition.
The sole question arising in the
case, according to Governor Ansers
order, is whether or not Mr.. Pearl
stine is a fugitive from justice. The
defendant was quite willing to be
tried in South Carolina, but did not
want to go To Tennessee, where he
feared he would not get an impartial
trial. The merits of the case itself
were not gone into by Governor Ansel
except in 50 far as the question Of cx-
tradition was concerned.

Roosevelt and Platt.

The thing in the history of New
York most readily suggested by Gov
ernOr Hughes transference to the Su-
preme Court was the nomination of
Mr. Roosevelt for the Vice Presidency
ten years ago. He also was in the
thick of reform movement, and he
expected a second term as Governor,
with prospect of being nominated
for the Presidency in 1904 The work
OF Senator Platt, Senator Quay and
other politicians Of New York and
Pennsylvania in trying to force the
convention to put Roosevelt on the
ticket with Mckinley was for the
frankly avowed purpose of getting
him out Of New York politics. Cor
poration interests demanded his

In his own opinion made and ur-
made Roosevelt as Governor, and how
he made him Vice-President. Mr..
Platt could never understand that
great force Of public opinion which
Roosevelt always iinew how to reckon
with, and which, also, some of those
whom Mr. Platt was wont to desig-
nate as Roosevelt's "self-constituted
friends" were in a position to under
stand and to measure with some ac-
curacy.
Mr.. Roosevelt was never a puppet in
Mr.. Platt's hands. Platt had very re-
luctantly accepted him for Governor,
because the State was about to go
Democratic, the public was demand
ing Roosevelt, and the independents
had already obtained from him what
they regarded as a qualified consent
to run at the head of their separate
ticket. While it is true that the trac-

Roosevelt had signed the Ford fran

tical bosses to take Roosevelt out of

have won his denomination and re-

Platt. Nothing would have been so
easy as an exposure of the origin of
the conspiracy against Roosevelt at
that time, and a mere setting forth
Of undisputed facts would have re-
