Not Missed at Saratoga.

The Republicans of New York held their State
convention without apparently noticing that the most
distinguished citizen of the State absent, making
anti-RepueEcan speeches in Maine. No mention was
made of Col Roosevelt or his policies or politics.
The conXention delegates appeared to have forgotten
that there was such great character ever had
been So forgetful were these Republicans that they
could not remember how Senator Human became a
candidate for governor, or that he is a candidate.
This absent-minded way in which the Republicans
of New York went about the work of holding a
State convention may be discouragng to greatness,
but such has been the way in the Empire State for
many years. Whenever one of the sons of New York
got too big to be part of the State and labored
under the impression that he was the whole thing,
the other sons forgot all about him. According to
Washington Irving, William the Testy" was one
of the first New Workers to think that he was the
whole colony but when he issued decree prohibiting
smoking the other old Dutch burghers smoked in
cessantly, just as though they had no governor. A
generation ago New York had very distinguished
Senator who able brilliant and popular but when
he concluded that he was more powerful than his
party in the Empire State he retired and almost
forgotten. They had short season of stalwarts and
half breeds in the Republican party which gave the
electoral vote of New York to Grover Cleveland in
stead of to James G. Blaine but that the end of
the faction Conkling forgotten, and there was
only one Republican party in New York in 1888
The fear that the detection of Col: Roosevelt
would destroy the Republican party, especially New
York, now appears to have been as unwarranted as
was the fear of William the Testy back in the
mythical days OF the colony or that of Senator Conk
ling only thirty years ago.
New York has been growing bigger all the time,
and with 100000 people and something like 100000
Republican voters, it is difficult if not impossible, to
note the observation of one man. though he had
been among the greatest produced by the State
Deity may note the fall of sparrow, but it is not
in human nature to be so omnipotent consider
ate. New York is big but very human, and she is
rapidly forgetting Col Roosevelt. With Senator
Root and Bill Barnes and other Republicans who
have not grown too big for the party, the convention
at Saratoga was pronounced success even with the
Colonel in Maine trying to rally the Progressives in
that prohibition State. 1t would not be surprising
if the voters of Maine forget his visit before election
day. The Colonel hasn't had a frst-page place in
the newspapers since the dog days began How then,
are the people to keep him in mind?"
