tion at length. Committees were ap
pointed and a recess until 3:30 o'clock
was taken.
When the convention reassembled
the committee on permanent organi
zation reported the permanent officers
of the convention, including Senator
Horace White, of Syracuse, for chair
man. The committee on credentials
reported that there were no contests.
Senator White on taking the chair ad
dressed the convention. His mention
of (iov. Black's name was the occasion
of thundering applause, which was
followed by three cheers. The speaker
was interrupted for fully two min
utes.
The various war heroes came in for
their share of the approbation of the
convention when reference was made
to them. A mention of the charge of
the Hough Kiders at San Juan hill
brought the convention to its feet
with a great outburst of demonstra
tive expression. The delegates stood
in their places and cheered. Senator
Piatt joined the other delegates. The
convention decided to proceed with
nominations and J. R. Cady, of Hud
son, who nominated (iov. Black two
years ago, took the platform to per
form again the same service. Mr.
Cady was frequently interrupted with
applause.
Chauncey M. Depew then took the
platform to nominate Theodore Roose
velt. As soon as the vociferous ap- j
plause which greeted the appearance
of Mr. Depew had subsided he com
menced his speech which is, in part, as
follows:
Gentlemen Xot since ISC3 lias the republican
party met in convention when the conditions of
tin* country were so interesting or so critical.
'Mien the emancipation proclamation of Presi
dent Lincoln, giving freedom and citizenship to
four millions of slaves, brought about a revo
lution in the internal policy of our government
which seemed to multitudes of patriotic men
full of the gravest dangers to the republic. The
effect of the situation was the sudden and vio
lent sundering of the ties which bound the
past to the present and the future. New prob
lems were precipitated upon our statesmen t<»
solve, which were not to be found in the text
books of the schools, nor in the traditions ot
congress. The one courageous, constructive
party which our politics has known for
half i century solved those problems so suc
cessfully that the regenerated republic has
grown and prospered under this new birth of
liberty beyond all precedent.
Now, as then, the unexpected has happened.
The wildest dream ever born of the imagination
of the most optimistic believer in our destiny
could not foresee when McKinley was elected
two year-, ago the on-rushing torrent of events
of the past three months. We are either to be
submerged by this break in the dykes erected
by Washington about our government, oi
we are to find by the wise utilization of the
conditions forced upon us how to be safer ann
stronger within our old boundaries, find to add
incalculably to American enterprise and oppor
tunity by becoming masters of the sea, and
entering with the surplus of our manufactures
tli'* markets of the world. We cannot retreat or
hide. We must "ride the waves and direct the
storm." A war has been fought and won, and
vast possessions, new and far away, have been
acquired. In the short space of 113 days poli
ticians and parties have been forced to meet
new questions and to take sides upon startling
isMiev The face of the world has been changed.
The times require constructive statesmen.
As in 1770 and 1*65. we need architects ana
builders. We have but one school for their
tr lining and education, and that school is the
republican party. < >itr republican administra
tion. upon which a tremendous responsibility
rests, must have a republican congress for its
support in the next two years - two years ot
transcendent impcfrtance to our future. New
York, imperial among her sister states in all
which malces a great commonwealth, is still the
pivot state in our national contests. We. the
delegates here assembled, have a very serious
duty in so acting as to keep our old stat" and
her congressional delegation in the republican
column Our thought and our absorbing anxi
ety is with whom as standard bearer can wc
most favorably present to the people thest
new and vital issues, the position of the re
public. »n party and necessity of the coun
try that it hould rf • ive the aoproval of the
counti v. Friends and enemies alike join in the
general satisfaction with the wisdom, sagacity
.'iiid statesmanship of President McKinley.
Our state has had a faithful, able and worthy
representative in the sjre;itest legislative
in the world in Senator Piatt. Wc are justly
proud of our delegation in congress, and it*
influence in the constructive measures of re
publican administration. We possess unusual
executive ability and courage in (lov. Rlack.
A protective tariff, sound money - the gold
standard, the retirement of the government
from the banking business and state issues are
just as important as ever. I'ntil three months
ago to succeed we would have had to sat
isfy the voters of the soundness and wisdom
of our position on these questions. The cardi
nal principles of republican policy will be the
platform of this canvass and of future ones.
Hut *t this juncture the people have tempo
rari » put everything else aside and are ap
plying their whole thought to the war with
Spain and its consequences. We believe thar
tht-v think and will vote that our war with
Spain was just ami righteous. We cannot vet
sav that American constituencies have settled
convictions on territorial expansion and the
§\>VLJ niuent of distant islands and alien races.
We can say that republican opinion glories * n
our victories and follows the flag.
The resistless logic of events overcomes all
other considerations an<l impels me to present
the name of. as it will persuade you to nomi
nate as our candidate for governor of the state
of New York, t'ol Theodore Roosevelt. ( 01.
Roosevelt has shown conspicuous ability in the
public service for ten years, lie was a 6oldier
three months. lie has held two position*
which generally ruin the holder of them with
politicians and the unthinking. One was civil
service commissioner and the other" police
commissioner for New York Citv. So long as
the public did not understand him there was
plenty of lurid language and gnashing of teeth.
The people are always just in the end. Let
them know everything that can be said about
a man and see all that the searchlight of pub
licity will reveal and their verdict is the truth.
When the smoke had clear *•' away from the
batteries of abuse they saw the unharmed
figure of a public-spirited, broad minded and
courageous officer, who understood official re
sponsi'iilitv to mean the performance without
fear or favor of the work he had promised to
do and obedience ot the laws he had sw«>rn to
support. The missiles from these batteries
flew bv him as innocuously as did the bullets
from the Spanish Mausers on the hill of San
Juan- c
W hen he became assistant secretary ot the
naw he was in a sphere more congenial to .us
abilities. He was fortunatelv under the most
accomplished, able and indulgent chief m Sec
retary Long. A small man would have been
jealous of this dynamitic bundle of brains,
nerves, energy and initiative, but our distin
guished secretarv gave full scope to his bril
liant assistant. The country owes much to him
for the efficiency and splendid condition of our
navy. The congressional economist has always
put his knife deep in the naval appropriation*
11 e will not do so anv more. The permanent
staff said to Roosevelt one day: Dewey is
wasting an unnecessary amount of powder in
firing his big guns." "Let him shoot awav.
said the assistant secretary, 'that is what the
powder is for." If there had been no war.
some Terry Simpson would have moved an in
quiry into the extravagance of the navv de
partment in burning up the property of the
T'nited States, and upon Roosevelt might have
rested the condemnation of a congressional
committer. Rut the waste was magnificent
economy in producing the superb marksman
shin of the gunners on our warships at Manila
and Santiago. .

idol of the Rough Riders—Col 1 heodore
Roosevelt. I
Mr. Depew's references to 1 resident j
McKinley wore received with much
applause and there was a vigorous re
ception of the tribute to Gov. lllack.
When ho told of the famous charge
of the Hough Riders and mentioned
Roosevelt's name the audience went
almost crazy, and when he reached
the point in his speech where he
alluded to the non-effect of Mauser
bullets two or three men rushed down
the aisle bearing a big portrait of Mr.
Roosevelt in Rough Rider uniform.
There was a throe minutes interrup
tion and the picture was taken to the
stage and set up. Mr. Depew finished
amid applause that was almost a pan
demonium. Then Charles T. Snxton,
of Wayne, seconded the nomination
of Gov. Rlack. Assemblyman Wallace,
of Queens, seconded the nomination
of Roosevelt.
Eliliu Root was called to the plat
form by the chairman and made a
statement as to the eligibility of Mr.
Roosevelt to hold office. Me said Mr.
Roosevelt had always voted in Oyster
Bay and had merely removed personal
property to Washington. He had al
ways paid taxes in Oyster Bay and
had merely refused to pay taxes on
property he was using in Washington,
and by his affidavit he merely said he
was not a resident of New York.
Secretary of State Palmer moved a
roll call and the motion was adopted.
Before it. got through the Xew York
delegation it was evident that Roose
velt had a walkover. The total vote
was announced as follows: Roose
velt 7511, Black 218.
Then the audience and delegates
rose and cheered. Judge Cady moved
the unanimous nomination. While
the question was pending Senator
Krum, who had supported Mr. ISlack,
said: "On behalf of Gov. Black and
his friends 1 say they will stand by
Theodore Roosevelt as he stood by the
country." The nomination was made
unanimous and the convention stood
in recess until 9 o'clock.
When the convention reassembled
the remaining nominations for state
officers were made in a few minutes.
The following committee was ap
pointed to be an advisory board for
the state committee: Thomas C.
Piatt, C. M. Depew, Frank Hiscock,
Edward Lauterbach and Frank 8.
Witherbee. The old eagle emblem
was readopted for the party and the
convention adjourned sine die. Fol
lowing is the platform adopted:
The republicans of New York, in convention
assembled, congratulate the country upon the
conclusion of the war with Spain. It was not
undertaken for conquest, but for the sacred
cause of humanity anil for the iust protection
of American interests. It has resulted in the
I complete triumph of American arms on land
I arid sea. and we meet, with resolute faith, all
I the responsibilities which our victories impose.
We congratulate the country upon the patri
j otic wisdom, the patient courage an 4 the broad
I humanity which distinguished the conduct of
] President McKinley during the critical periods
: „112 diplomatic negotiation and battle, and which
! now guide him in the restoration of peace.
! Citizens of every state and every party fought
| and won under his command. All lingering
sectionalism was burned out in the heat of bat
tle. and today with the war ended and peace
' assured, all our people give honor and praise
! to the president who so bravely, so wisely eti
' forced the national will and upheld the na
tional arms.
We congratulate our army and navy upon the
' splendid victories of the war and we welcome
j home our brave soldiers and sailors, who, b>
' their courage and sacrifices, have added a new
i dignity to American citizenship and given new
i power and meaning to our flag.
We have abiding confidence that the presi
dent will conclude this peace upon terms that
j will satisfy the conscience, the judgment and
\ the high purpose of the American people. We
| realize that when the necessities of war com
j pelled our nation to destroy author
ity in the Antilles and in the Philippines, we
assumed solemn duties and obligations, al.kt
I to the people of the islands we conquered and

to the civilized world. W« cannot turn these
islands back to Spain. We cannot leave them
unarmed for defense and untrained in state
craft to the horrors of domestic strife, or to
partition among European powers. We have
assumed the responsibilities of victory and
wherever our flag has gone there the liberty,
the humanity and the civilization which that
tlag embodies and represents must remain and
abide forever. The republican party has been
the party of brave conservatism, ot wise prog
ress and of triumphant faith in the nationality
of this people, and we know that the president
and statesmen and voters of the republican
party will meet these issues of the future a>
bravely and triumphantly as we have met the
issues of the past.
We commend the annexation of Hawaii in
the interest of commerce, of national security
and national development.
We renew our allegiance to the doctrines of
the St. Louis platform. We continue to con
demn and resist the democratic policies de
clared at Chicago. The organized democratic
party of the nation adheres to these policies of
free silver and free trade and denies the right
of the courts and of the government to protect !
persons and property from violence. On thm
coming Bth of November we are to elect not
only our state officers, but also representative*
in congress and members of our state legisla
ture. That legislature in its term will elect a
United States senator to succeed the present
senator from this state.
Democratic leaders declare that they will
conduct this campaign upon state issues alone.
But it is known that if the democratic party
secures the state legislature it will re-elect to
the United States senate that democrat who
now represents his party there and
sents the state. That senator supported the
cause of free silver; supported the nominees of
the Chicago convention in the last presidential
election; gave his *ote in the senate for the
heresies of that Cfeicago platform and must, it
re-clected. continue to support those heresies.
Democrats may try to deceive the people by
ignoring the anarchistic doctrines of that in
strument in their state platform, but their
members of congress and their senator, if they
shall succeed in re-electing him. cannot and
will not ignore those doctrines at Washington.
We are r-ady to meet the democrats on all
state issues, but in a larger sense this campaign
is a national campaign, and our people cannot
escape its national consequences. The elec
tion of republican members of congress and of
a republican state legislature will mean that
New York shall stand for the maintenance ot
the gold standard and for such a revision of
the currency laws as will guarantee to the
laborer of the country that every paper promise
to pay a dollar issued under the authority of tho
L r nited States shall be of absolute and equal
value with a gold dollar, always and every
where.
In the interests of American labor and com
merce we believe that American products
should be carried in American ships, and we
favor the upholding of a merchant marine
which will give us our share in the carrying
trade of the world in time of peace, and con
stitute an effective naval militia in time of war.
The platform commends the administration
of Gov. Black, the work of the legislature and
then deals with purely state issues.
TURN ON THE LIGHT.
War Department Investigation Ask Mr.
Alger for a Vast Amount of Information
—Complaints Must l»e Made In Writing.
Washington, Sept. 23. —The war in
vestigating commission resumed its
labors Tuesday and at the close of
the morning session gave out a num
ber of documents bearing 1 upon the
work to be undertaken.
These comprse the letter of Secre
tary Alger to the president requesting
that the investigation be made; a brief
address to the public in the shape of
a resolution; a letter from Chairman
Dodge to the secretary of war en
closing- a list of inquiries to the sec
retary and to the heads of the various
divisions of the war department cali
ng* for specific information bearing
upon the conduct of the war.
With the letter to the secretary of
war were enclosed questions indicat
ing the character of information de
sired at the hands of the surgeon
general, the quartermaster general,
the subsistence department, the ord
nance department and the adjutant
general.
The resolutions adopted by the com
mittee were as follows:
"Resolved, first. That the secretary
of war, the adjutant general, the quar
termaster general, the commissary
general and the surgeon general bo
requested to transmit to this colli
sion it 11 complaints that have been re
ceived by theiA since April 1, 1898,
touching the conduct of the war.
"Resolved, second. That this com
mission invites and is ready and will
receive and consider any complaints
about the management of any of the
various branches of the war depart
ment, from any person or persons;
that we respectfully request that such
complaints be made in writing, stat
ing facts that the party may know of
his own knowledge plainly and in de
tail, giving names of any officers or

mission at Washington."
LEE AND WADE.
Tliey are Slated for Command of the
Army of Occupation In Cuba Within 6 1
Days 1 '4,000 Men Will l>e Sent There.
Washington, Sept. 2S.—A compre
hensive programme for moving troops
to Cuba has been outlined by the war
department, and its initial features
have been decided upon. This result
is due to directions given by the pres
ident on September 19, to the effect
that details of troops be made for
Cuba. Acting on this, Maj. (ien. Miles
outlined a plan for sending two divis
ions to Cuba, the first under command
of Maj. Gen. Wade, to leave in Octo
ber, and the second division under
Maj. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, to leave in
November.
Each division will embrace about
6,000 men; the plan is to have some
12,000 troops in Cuba and on their
way within the next 00 days. It is
not contemplated, however, that any
large number of this force shall be
assembled at any one point in this
country or in Cuba, the desire being
to keep them scattered, as they can
thereby be handled to better advan
tage. From the fact that they goto
Cuba, it does not mean that they will
proceed directly to Havana. On the
contrary, the outlook is that there
will be very few troops at Havana, the
bulk of them being scattered throug-h
the western end of the island, garri
soning the small towns and thus
gradually putting' into effect the mili
tary occupation of the island.

IVHH Twice a Candidate for
the rrenidential Nomination.
Dedham. Mass., Sept. 29.—Thomas F.
Bayard died at 4:.'!0 p. in. Wednesday
at Karlstein, the summer residence of
his daughter, Mrs. Samuel I). Warren,
after an illness of six weeks. llis
death was without pain, llis wife,
two daughters and his son saw him
draw his last breath and his third
daughter, the Countess Laucnhaupt,
was on her way to Dedham. The re
mains will be conveyed to Delaware
and the funeral services will lie held
Saturday at Wilmington. Karlstein
lies off the Need ham road. Here
about the middle of August came Mr.
liayard to be the guest of his daugh
ter and son-in-law. lie was sick, but
it was given out that his illness was
merely due to declining years. He
steadily grew weaker, however, and
had spells of semi-consciousness and
of delirium.
During the first few weeks of his
illness Mr. liayard was able to sit up,
but he became gradually weaker and
three weeks ago he laid himself on
his bed and never again rose from it.
THOMAS F. BAYARD.
Thomas Francis Bayard was a member of an
eminent family. Since long before revolution
ary war times, the Bayards have been conspicu
ous in the country's history as patriots and
statesmen, and many acquired national fame
as jurists. Four members of the Bayard family
have had senatorial honors bestowed upon them
l»y the state of Delaware Thomas Francis
Bayard; Ins father, James Bayard: his grand
father of the same name, the negotiator of the
treaty of Ghent, and his uncle, Richard Henry
Bayard. His grandmother's father. Gov.
Rassett. of Delaware, was also the recipient of
senatorial honors.
Thomas Francis Bayard was born in Wil
mington. Del., October 29, IS2S. and was a
younger son. In IS4S his elder brother died,
whereupon having a liking for his father's pro
fession, that of law, he became a student and
was admitted to the bar in 1 Sol. Tie immedi
ately began the practice of his profession with
father and was successful from the begin
ning, his local fame spreading rapidly. In 1853
he was appointed I nited States district at
torney f«»r Delaware, but resigned in the fol
lowing year. In 1555 Mr. Bayard removed to
Philadelphia, where he formed a legal part
nership with William Shippen. This connec
tion lasted five vrars, being terminated by the
death of Mr Shippen. Mr. Ravard on the
death of his partner returned to Wilmington.
When the war of the rebellion began the peo
ple of Wilmington set about establishing means
of self-protection. A militia company was or
ganized and Thomas F. Bayard was elected its
first lieutenant. In June, IS6I, a peace meet
ing of citizens was held at Dover and Lieut,
liayard was one of the principal speakers. He
denounced the war, and his remarks on that
jeeasion were quoted in later years as an argu
ment against his availability as a presidential
candidate.
Meanwhile Mr. Bayard's popularity in his
native state kept growing rapidly, and in IMJH
he was elected to succeed his father in the
I'nited States senate and was subsequently
twice re-elected It is noteworthy that on the
day he was elected to the senate for the full
| term, his father (who had resigned) was also
re-elected a senator from Delaware to serve for
I the unexpired term of his original term. This
is the only case of a father and son being voted
for by the same legislature to fill the senatorial
office.
Senator took an active part in the
discussions concerning the presidential election
of 1870. and was an advocate, and subsequently
a member of the electoral commission.
In October, 18."6, Senator Bayard was mar
ried to Louisa, daughter of Tosiah Lee. a Balti
more banker. Twelve children were the result
•>f the union When the democratic national
convention was held in 1880 his friends rallied
to secure his nomination for the presidency,
and such was their strength that on the first
ballot he stood next to Hancock, who was noml.
nated on the second. In the democratic con
vention of IW4. at which Mr. Cleveland was
nominated, Mr. Bayard received the next
largest vote to the successful candidate on the
two ballots which were taken. As soon as the
result of the election of 1884 was known. Mr.
Bayard was the first democratic statesman in
vited to consult with President-elect Cleveland,
and was offered a place in the new cabinet—
and the leading place at that.
At the close of Mr Cleveland's administra
tion Mr. liayard returned to private life and to
liis legal profession. In March. 1893. Mr. Bay
ard was appointed ambassador to the court ot
St. James and served during Mr. Cleveland's
| second term.

"In all my historical studies T have
paid the most, attention to the growth
of the power and influence of this
Cnited States government," said Senor
Angoncillo. "It is my ideal of a gov
ernment and is is the pattern which
the Philippine people will follow when
they are independent. I have visited
China and Japan, but there is noth
ing in either of those empires that
compares to the freedom of this coun
try. This is the. land that we have
looked up to for many years and the
one in whose footsteps we have tried
to follow."
JUSTICE FOR DREYFUS.
French Cabinet Decide* to (,r:int a New
Trial to the Prisoner of Devil'* Island.
Paris, Sept. 27.—At a meeting of the
cabinet yesterday all the ministers be
ing present, a decision was taken in
favor of a revision of the trial of for
mer Capt. Dreyfus, and the documents
in the case will be sent to the court
of cassation.
The cabinet ordered the minister of
justice, M. Sarrien, to lay before the
court of cassation the petition of
Madame Dreyfus, wife of the prisoner
nf Devil's island, for a revision of her
husband's ease. The court, therefore,
will decide the legal question as to
whether the first trial of Dreyfus was
vitiated by the forgery committed by
the late Lieut. Col. Henry, who was a
witness before the court-martial, and
who confessed to having forged a
document in the easr.
The minister of justice has given
instructions that proceedings are to
be taken immediately against any one
attacking the army,

the Colon.
Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 27.—Details
of the floating of the Spanish armored
cruiser Maria Teresa show that, with
the help of dynamite, she was blown
off the rocks into deep water on Sep
tember 2.'!, and proceeded under her
own steam some time afterwards to
Guantanamo, accompanied by one of
the tugs of the Merritt Wrecking Co.
She will soon leave for New York.
Naval Constructor Ilobson says he
can raise the Spanish cruiser Cristobal
Colon—with the use of air bags—in
a week, if given authority to do so.
Commodore Watson thinks he cannot.
The Colon was not seriously dam
aged by shells, but her valves were
opened, which caused her to sink.
The other two Spanish cruisers
stink in the battle of Santiago, the
Almirante Oquendo and the Yiscaya,
are useless wrecks of melted iron.

The New York Wool Exchange Suspends
Opcrationß for a Time.
New York, Sept. 29. —No business
was transacted on the floor of the
wool exchange yesterday. Ihe doors
were not opened, as it had been de
cided by the directors to suspend ope
rations temporarily. The cause of the
action was set forth in the following
statement issued by President Me-
Naughton:
"Owing to the depressed condition
<jf the wool market, and it appearing
tl at improvement in that direction is
not likely to occur for some time, it
has been deemed advisable for the
best interests of the corporation to
discontinue all further operations in
wool until a better outlook presents
itself and until further notice. The
corporation, however, will devote its
energies to the advancement of its
other more profitable business inter
ests. The eorporaiion is in excellent
financial condition, having no floating
debts of any kind."

PRACTICAL KINDNESS.
One Hundred 'i'hounund tirutefnl Sola
dlera.
l'hese war times have tried men's sou!«
in many unexpected ways, '.jut like a shaft
of sunshine and good cheer out of the cloud
of privation and endurance has been the
work that The American Tobacco Co. ha#
done among the U. S. Soldiers and Sailor®
ever since the war began—for when they
discovered that the camps and hospitals
were not supplied with tobacco they de
cided to provide them, free of cost, with
enough for every man, and have already
given outright to our Soldiiers and Sailors
over one hundred thousand pounds of "Bat-
Ax Plug" and "Duke's Mixture" Smokina
Tobacco, and have bought and distributed
fifty thousand briar wood pipes, at a total
cost of between fifty and sixty thousand dol
lars.
This work has been done quietly and
thoroughly, by establishing headquarters
in each camp, so that every camp and every
hospital of the United States Army has
been supplied with enough tobacco for
every man and the sailors on thirty
United Slates Ships in Cuban waters have
shared with the soldiers this most welcome
of all "rations."
Perhaps it will be only fair to remeiJiber
when we hear the remark again that
"corporations have no souls," that there
is one American corporation whose soul
has been tried and has not been found
wanting in "practical kindness."
