Gets His Way.
SULLIVAN'S NAME ACCEPTED
Home Republicans Back Tax
Commissioner-Dix Fails to
Name Man in Riggs's
Place.
rBy Telegraph to Tho Tribuue.l

Albany, Feb. 2S.-By a vote OF % 10 y
the Senate to-day confirmed William II
Sullivan, of Norwich, whom Governor
Dix named as the Tax Commissioners u
succeed Egburt f. Woodbury., Of Chau-
tauqua County.
There was formal Republican opposi-
ton to Mr.. Sullivan. though Senator
Thomas, in whose district he lives and
Senator Emerson voted for him. Sena-
tors Thomas and Ferris repudiateo
charges recently made that Sullivan was
unfit for the place. Senator Ferris read
two affidavits from clients Of the com
missioner denying that they had ever
said he had defrauded them in the set
tlement OF legal matters or that such
was the case. This was one OF the
charges. based on supposed statements
from these clients.
The confirmation Of Mr. Sullivan
leayes only one Of the Governors nomi-
nations pending-that of Herbert +. BIS
cell TO be Public Service Commissioners
IN the upstate district. The surface IN
dications are that Bissell will be con
armed next week, but that Will depend
Iarqelv on what the Governor does re-
garding the naming of a new Commls-
s,oner for the New York district in place
q, Edward G.. Riggs, whom Murphy beat
yesterday.
In other words, at present the Bissel
nomination is being held up by the
MurphyItes to coerce the Governor into
naming some man for the New YORK
commission who will suit Murphy and
his friends. II that happens, Bisseil may
or may not be confirmed.
The Governor said tonight that he
would do nothing about the New YORK
nIace until next week. He expects 10
90 into the woods tomorrow nlght lor
rest returning here Monday night. In
that time he will think over matters
and endeayor to make up his mind. Mr.
Bissell told his friends to-day ne eH-
pected 10 be confirmed next week. Inc
Tammany men let II be understood
without saving so directly, that this was
probably true.
As matter of plain fact, the opposi-
tion If Fitzpatrick. Murphy's Buffalo
sub boss. TO Mr.. Bissell, has not lessened
in the least, and some of the Tammany
men here admit frankly that they dc
not believe Mr.. Bissel will be confirmed
anyhow. whether or not Murphy gets
what he wants out of the Governor
They declare Murphy has given his word
70 Fitzpatrick to beat Mr.. Bisseii. and
wont dare break it, as he will need all
the help of the upstate man i'm the spring
and fail state conventions, not to men
ton the fact that the legislative session
is not ended yet, and Fitzpatrlck couio
do some damage in that part Oh !, which
remains.

GBy Telegraph to The Tribune !

Boston, Feb. 2S.-With the departure
Of Colonel Roosevelt to-day came oppor-
tunity to weigh the effect of his visit and
speech of Monday on Republicanism in
Massachusetts and to decide whether he
gained or lost strength during his stay
in Boston.
That the Roosevelt boom has suffered
in the last few days is the opinion which
survey Of the state, investigation OF
sentiment in political and non-political
circles and careful study of the attitude
of the press show strongly.
His speech before the Legislature on
Monday undoubtedly hurt him. Repre-
sentative McCall's statement before the
legislative Committee on Constitutional
Revision that a man who advocated such
changes as did Roosevelt in his Column
bus and Boston speeches was not a Pro-
gressive, but a wild reactionary, found
an echo throughout the ranks Of Repub-
licanism.
Roosevelt spoke TO a hostile audience
in the State House Monday. He had re-
ceived an enthusiastic welcome. but his
opening sentences showed that he stood
ready to exceed his Columbus speech.
and the enthusiasm chilled. Dead silence
greeted his points. Perfunctory applause
marked his peroration. And when the
legislators broke up into knots and dis
cussed the speech there were few who
said. There is my choice for the next
President"
Scant Praise for Him Since.
Since the speech there has been only
scant praise Cf the eX-President. One
Boston paper, THE Boston Journal" has
kept up its lonely advocacy of Roosevelt.
1t alone sees "a real fight" II holds up
the ex-President as the candidate Of the
people, although admitting that his
power cannot be estimated at this time.
THE Boston Herald" assails Roose-
velts speech as long. wandering and es-
sentially ineffective. 1t says of Roose-
welt:
His campaign starts devoid Of enthu-
siasm. His supporters are not impress
sive Their arguments are not convinc-
lag. Their cause Tags. II tns not sum
cient reason for being It may even
make popular hero Of the patient man
I'm the White House"
other papers take a stand against
Roosevelt.
In the ranks Of the Republican party
the opposition TO the ex-President has
come out strongly in the last few days.
Senator Lodge sent on word that he was
out Of the campaign because although
Roosevelts friend. he dlsapproved of the
stand the colonel had taken in his Co
lumbus and Boston speeches. Repre-
sentative Gardner, son-in-law Of Sena-
tor Lodge, came out strongly against
Roosevelt
Councillor Alexander McGregor ex-
presses the sentiments voiced by many
Republicans when he denounces Roose-
welt for assuming a "thc state, il is l.
attitude.
"In a great country Of 00.OOO0O peo-
pie 1t is a paralyzing thought" he says.
that there is but one man fitted by
nature, education and training to serve

In a table made up in Washington this
week Massachusetts is estimated as Civ
ing ten delegates 10 Roosevelt in the
convention. The political leaders here
hold that Roosevelt can hardly get more
than eight out Of thirty-six.

It was 412 o'clock in the afternoon
when Assemblyman Martin walked
proudly into the Governors office with
the bill under his arm. 1t had passed
the Senate only few hours before; but
the measure had been a particular pet OF
Martins and Governor Wilson affixed
his name to it in jiffy, at the same
time praising the Hudson Assemblyman
for his interest in the morals of his
home county of Hudson. The law went
into effect Immediately. G.
But while Mr.. Martin and a few news
paper men knew that the measure had
become law, there were several hun

the state who didn't, and If there are

Mr.. Martin said last evening the fact

that he had suddenly taken away from

poor justices did not know anything
about it. In fact a good many of them
expected that the bill would be defeated
