< Yesterday by a vote Of 90 to u the

| to 10 a resolution to make Colonel

THE Associated Press reported that
Sherman's election was ",,nanimous."
L"Lloyd c. Griscom and Henry Mack.
{of New York, not voting. The COM
imittee transacted no further business
land adjourned to meet at Saratoga on
|september 2s, the day before the Con-
lyention will assemble.
4 1t was a good days work, and 1t
}was we'll done, but 1t was distinctly
{displeasing to Mr.. Griscom, the head
lof the County Republican organiza-
& ton in New York City. After tho
}Committee had adjourned he is said
ITO have indicated in very pronounced
{ terms the measure of his disappolnt-
tment and to have INDUCED in sundry
ipredictions as 10 the disastrous effect
of the Committees work on "a great
many primary contests, as 1T is Cbvl-
& ,ous that those voting to deny him tthe
rolonel) the office OF Temporary
,Chairrniln Will have to account 10 the
,enrolled Republicans OF their respec-
tive districts for their action The
members OF tho Committee ought tc
E have known better, of course, and, il
Is a way, we are sorry for them and car
sec them now fairly shrivelling under
1.-THE fiery Indignation of the "enrolled
iRcpublicans," who will surely make
1.-THE Committee smoke for daring tc
iobstruct the purposes of the Colone
sand his emissary, the ever faithful
sGriscom, whose very garments smell
OF the sacred fire While yet he wa:
conveying to the Committee tho greet
& ings of Oyster Bay. Speaking of the
action Of the Committee, Mr.. Griscon
said:
FIN II presented the name of forme,
President Roosevelt after consulting
with him. The place of the Temporars
Chairman was obviously his, not only
by virtue of his having been Presi-
dent of tho United States, but by the
signal services rendered by him to the
Republican party in New York. AR
Roosevelt was anxious to engage III
the political campaign in this state
and his name at the head of the Con-
vention would have lent eXtraordinar,
prestige to the meeting and been OF
incalculable value to the party
tthroughoutfthe State"
One thing energies from this state.
llsent: Grscom attended the meeting
ofst the Committee as the arnbassado o.
extraordinary. and. minister plenipoten
tiary Of the Colonel, or, as he cS
pressed it, after consulting Will
G him. The Committee knew this. ant
yet it turned him down. Griscom
speaking as one with authority
thought that the selection of the Col
5a onel was his by Divine right TIL
Committee did not agree with him
Griscom thought that the ColoneTs sc
r. lection to preside over the Convention
iof the party would lend "extraordi
mary prestige to the meeting" TIL
opinion, as q rank outsider, the Com
mittee was entirely right in its riev
of the situation. OF course, Pincho
Z and GARFIELD and Claws and 1Serby an
Bristow and Cummins and Dollivcl
and possibly Cope Johnson, will shud
der ut the temerity Of the Committe
IN dealing with Griscom. the dove sen
