Tho directors of tho association's Insur

a sharp division. Wlillo Mr. (lompers waited
In tho lobby, three votes wero taken nmld
much confusion. Tho result was announced

that tho association would bo a greater

tho American Federation of Labor.
A resolution endorsing the pending bill
providing uniform $1,200 salaries for carriers
was adopted. Thero was a long debate upon

NEW YOUK. Sept. 5. Tho state re
publican convention, In session here to
day, norilunted the foregoing ticket:
Perhaps tho most Interesting feature of
the convention was the fact that the speech
nominating llenjnmln II. Odell for governor
was made by former Governor Frank S.
(Hack, who has been outside tbo organiza
tion brcattworks slnco Theodoro Iloosevclt
defeated him two years ago, when ho desired
a renomlnatlon. For a long time Mr. Hlnek
and his close friends. Abraham Uruber and
former District Attorney William K. Olcott
of Now York were -very bitter nnd at tho
party primaries a week or so ago Mr. Oruber
wan obliged to fight to maintain his leader
ship of the Twenty-first nssembly district,
New York City, against an opponent who
was believed to havo Senator Piatt's sym
pathy. Mr. Oruber won and since that tlmo
efforts have been made by friends of both
sides to bring about a reconciliation between
tho former governor and his friends and
Senator Piatt, with tho result that Mr. Ulack
today made tho principal nominating speech.
Mr. Ulack suld tho Issues now before the
American pcoplo were discussed and settled
four years ago.
Thcro is not a new ono here." he con
tinued. "Tic ghost of antl-lmpcrlallsm
which stalks to and fro between Lincoln
and nloomlngton, with occasional manifesta
tions In Boston, Is not and cannot be made
an Issue. This country Is and has been com
mitted to tho policy of growth and It cannot
be swerved from thnt policy by new scare
crows erected along tho way.
Siimc Old IHHiirn,
"The Issues now are ns they were In
1806. They were then met nnd understood
and as completely ns tho Spanish fleet at
Santiago they wero sunk and run ashore.
Tho democratic party slnco then has been
engaged In prying somo of them off the
rocks and trying to mnko them float. That
will never be done. Those Issues will novor
be seaworthy again nnd If they are tho
American people will not embark on them
while they havo fluttering nt their mast
heads Hags with the democratic Inscrip
tions of disorder, disappointment nnd de
spair.
"That party seems never to understand
the temper or Intelligence of tho people.
It has endeavored In every campaign for
forty years to mako tho discarded heresies
of tho preceding rnmpalgn presentnblo by
Joining n Uvo heresy to tho old dead ones."
Mr. Ulack closed with a eulogy of Mr.
Odell, whom he presented for tho guber
natorial nomination.
Senator Chauncey M. Dcpew presented
the name of Timothy L. Woodruff for lieu
tenant governor. Ilo opened with a state
ment of the importance of New York's
Interest In national affairs and said that
owing to the extent of those Interests no
campaign In this stato could bo considered
a local one. Tho Spanish war was re
viewed by the speaker and nn arraignment
by tho speaker followed, In which Mr. Do
pew said:
"Free silver, free trade, assaults on
the supremo court and efforts to throw
away the results of the war, a cowardly
disposition to scuttle aro threatening tho
strongholds of uatlonnl faith, national
credit and national power. Our light Is to
hold the fort. For that purposo wo requlro
as our leaders In our stuto men of demon
strated capacity, public men who In offi
cial rotations to tho government havo be
come fsmillar with our policies and meas
ures, and politicians who have been so in
touch with tho party that they can maln
tuln harmony within tho ranks nnd presont
nn Impregnable front nnd lead n resistless
attack against the forces of the enemy.
"We are fortunate, peculiarly so, In our
cnndlda(e for president. Not only tho
United States but every civilized and semi
civilized country of the globe Is today
giving unstinted admiration to the states
manship, the generalship nnd tho diplomacy
of William McKlnley."
OileM AiHTpln.
Mr. Odell, In accepting tho nomination,
cald In part: "Important ns tho state
Issues arc. they ore overshadowed by the
greater matters Involved In the national
campaign. To my mind tho paramount
Issuo Is the re-election of McKlnley, who
has ably kept all pledges. nu-ljct 1,1m
and tho policies already In force and '.o ho
Inaugurated will plnco us upon a higher
plane than ever before, and wo shall en'oy
the full fruition of our hopo for general
prosperity. Every dollar will continue to
bo worth one hundred cents and wherever
our flag rests It will ho respected by Amer
ican manhood."
Mr. Odell, for governor, nnd Mr. Wood
ruff, for lieutenant governor, received the
unanimous vote of the convention on tho
llrst roll call. Tho ticket was then com
pleted ns above by tho secretary being In
structed to cast tho ballot of tho convention
for tho rennmlnatlnu of the present sec
retary of Btate, comptroller, treasurer, at
torney general and stato engineer. This
concluded tho convention's work and n
committee, was uppolnted to Invite (!ov
ernor Hoosevclt to address tho gathering.
The nominee for vice president responded
and was given an ovation as ho mounted the
platform.
Sppceli by !Ionm oil,
Mr. Hoosevclt In opening congratulated
the convention on the men nominated nud
referred to tho fact that tho republican
party had been In power for six years in
this state. Tho republicanc had nlways
kept their pledges, he said, cud the party
felt that It had tho right to challenge tho
support of all men who desire the govern
ment tn bo administered with cleanliness
and efficiency.
Referring to national affairs and state
ments mudo that the senato would prevent
nny enactment of free sliver legislation,
even though Mr. Ilrynn nnd a democratic
house were elected, Mr. Roosevelt said:
"If the peoplo of this country declare In
favor of Mr. Ilryan and elect n Dryanlto
congress next fall they will havo declared
In favor of free silver, as well as of every
doctrine enunciated In the Chicago plat
form of 1S93 and reiterated In tho Knusas
City platform of 1900; and when tho peoplo
havo thus declared themsolves the rep
resentatives whom they have elected nnd
sent to Washington cannot nnd will not
act otherwise thun thoy havo been directed
at the polls to oct. Tho election of Hrnn
this fall would bo the people's manda'e
for free silver and as such It would tell
upon every senator who has fell doubtful
bow to act In the past.
"Thn men who directly or Indirectly aid
Mr, Dryan In this contest must understand
that any vote cast except for the re-elec
tion of President McKlnley Is a voto 'or
free silver and for social disorder a vote
for the partial repudiation of our debts
nnd for nn absolute upsetting of our finan
cial and Industrial systems, and upon all
such men will rest forever afterward the
heavy responsibility of having plunged the
business world Into disaster, the laboring
world Into misery nnd of having tainted
with dlsonor the national name
"So much for what the success of our
opponents would menn Abroad, gentle
men, their success would menn this nation
was to cringe before tho honorable task
which It has bo honorably begun and to
take down the lias under which wo are In
troducing In tho Philippines, not only such
order, but such liberty as hns never been
known In tho Islands before, ami to hand
them back to the unspeaknblc tyranny of n
corrupt oligarchy.
"There Is no such thing as militarism
or Imperialism nt stake In the content.
These nre names used only to frighten
the foolish. If It Is militarism to ho In the
Philippines, then It Is militarism to be 'n
Hawaii nnd Alnakn. If It Is mllltnrlsm to
put down tho Tngal banditti, then It Is mil
itarism to put down un Apache outbreak.
Antl-lmperlatlsm Is tho name by which
they seek to disguise their policy of con
traction. For, mind you, we havo already
expanded aud wo nre In tho Philippines by
tho samo moral right that we are In New
Mexico nnd Idaho.
"Tho nation has not sought its new re
sponsibilities, but the nation does not
shrink from them. As a strong man faces
bis work, nn It comes, and docs each task
allotted to him, without flinching, so this
great nation, the greatest republic upon
which tho sun has ever shone, stands now
at the opening of a new century, not seek
ing In unmanly fashion how to avoid Its
work, hut facing Its responsibilities In a
calm, n sober and n rcsoluto spirit. Tho
tusk thnt now confronts us Is but ns child's
play compared to the task that confronted
tho generation that fought to a finish the
grent civil war. It culls for but n fraction
of this nation's glnnt strength, and we
nppeal to every American Jealous of the
country's good name and proud beyond
measure of tho honor nnd renown of Ameri
can citizenship to stand with us now nnd
to declaro In tinmlstnknble terms thnt wo
nre a nation of men and not n nation of
weaklings, nnd that wo as little fenr to
face our duty In tho far Islands of tho
eastern seas ns wo fear to face our duties
nt home."
At the close of Governor Itooscvclt's
speech tho convention adjourned sine die.

LA "MILLENNIUA1."
A mi CtiKtiinil Mliilnti'r'N t'oiiiiiiirlooii
A peculiar remark made by a minister nt
n New England dinner, mused some com
ment. Ho wns being served for the llrst
time with Grape-Nuts food. lie looked up
and nsked what It was, nnd being told,
tald, "They might have named It Millen
ium." Tho hostess, n lndy on the editorial
staff of tho Rotton Watchman, further re
nuirks: "Slnco thn 'Millenium' came to our cuisine,
we hnvo no further occasion to take Into
our stomachs tho masses of pastry, partly
rooked food that wo used before (Irupc-Nuts
came. I ppenk directly of myself. 1 had
beon for n long time the victim of gastric
Indigestion, brought on by steady mental
work and n lack of proper food. I imhsihI
sleepless nights, and work In 'he day time
was exceedingly difficult. Many Bpells nf
rrtlgo came on and my nerves and temper
v.ero in nnythlng but a ncrmal condition.
"I finelly had three successive night at
tacks nnd I verily thought the end hail
trme. I would throw out nt midnight tho
lunch of Scotch porrldgo eaten tho noon
ptevlous, unchanged, exxcept that It had
turned Intensely bitter. Violent vomiting
continued for eight or ten hours and the
after exhaustion wn all but deathly.
I could seo plainly that utter break down
was ahead of me. Just at this time I wns
lead tn uso Orape-Nuts and I found the
food cure. I quickly gained strength and
flesh, ray gastric troubles wero relieved, and
my sleep sweet again. Aside from the pow
erful nutritive value of Orapo-Nuts food
you know that It will Impart Its dlllclous,
nutritive flavor to almost any dish that It
Is added to? For Instance, n spoonful or
two stirred Into a bread pudding before
baking gives It a marvelous flavor, far su
perior to spices, nUo a little cooked In cus
tard for lunch or supper, not only adds
tpeclal relish, hut special sustenance," Mrs

WASHINGTON, Sept. o. Secretary Gage
has mado the following reply to nu open
letter ho has received from Hon. Carl
Schurz of New York:
Denr Sir: l have the honor to acknowl
edge the receipt of yours of tho 3rd Instant,
In which ymi utter some words of criticism
upon the criticisms made In n ncwspnp?r
Interview published August M, In which I
expressed the opinion that Mr. Ilrynn, If
fleeted, could, by the exercise of consid
erable "perverse Ingenuity" put the gov
ernment on u silver basis, ruin Its credit
nud bring Inralcutabln dlsuHter upon tbo
business Interests of the country.
You deny that the dangers set forth by
me In that Interview really exist, and that
any preident will be able to do vvbnt I de
clare might be done, unless the i-enuhllenis
party In control of tho government In both
th legislative and executive branches
proves Itself utterly dishonest In Its pro
fessed purpose to maintain the gold stand
ards." You say vour denial "Is not based upon
the reasoning of those of your critics who
seek to show by figures that n president
desiring ever so much to put the country
on n silver basis would lack the means of
doing so." On the contrary, you admit,
"for argument's sake," all 1 say on that
point. It would not seem, therefore, thnt
thero Is any particular difference between
us ns to what Mr. Ilryan, ns president,
could do under the law. or In spite of the
law us It now Is
It ought to lmvo been apparent to you,
ns It no doubt was. that I was riieaktng
of possibilities of the case tinder circum
stances and conditions us they now '.it,
but you proceed to point out how, at the
next session of eonaross. which will meet
In December, legislation could bo had which
would completely forestall unfriendly no
tion toward the gold standard, even If Mr.
Dryan were elected and should still cherish
the linn-set uni-imso declared hv him on
September Hi, ISM, nt Knoxvilie. Tenn.,
where he said: "If there Is anyone who
believes that the gold standard Is n good
thing or that It must bo maintained, I warn
him not to cast his vote for me. because
1 promise him it will not be maintained
In this country longer thun I unt utile to
set rid of It."
You rebuke me In polite terms for sound
ln; a false note of alarm illsdulctlnc the
business community, und especially when
uiiereu iiy ono in uutnorny.
Ilrjolndor to Crll Icloiu,
I nm not at nil skilled In controversy, and
havo had no practice In dialectics, but I will
inuingo in n iew words in mo way or re
Joinder to your criticism.
In the llrst place, then, no more serious
disaster could overtake this country (In
this, you will agree with mcl, than the
iireaKing down or tne gold standard by
that principle of money for which .Mr.
Dryan contends. In I.SW1. you nre your

would probably be Impossible. Can any otie
doubt that Mr. Dryan would urge action by

on this subject seem to show that you re'v
upon the exercise of tho power already con
ferred upon the republican party to prevent
the country from experiencing dlsusdrs
which Mr. Ilrynn will. If ho can, bring tip.in
us. May I not suggest that the wnv to
secure safety Is not to take power from
those upon whom you rely for jiro'ectlo'i
and confer It upon those whose action you
miiy havo good cause to regret.

Since you have raised tho question or

further forward. If Mr. Dryan Is oleoto.l
president. It is of nil things the most proba
ble that tho next bouse will hnvo n demo

congress, dating from March I, 1001, will
not bo able tn effect ntiv change In our

upon that platform.
You end your letter bv suggesting that I
retract what I hnvo said 'n fairness to tbo
business community, which should not be
unnecessarily dlsqulnled. especially by
those In authority. In thinking as 1 do,
that tho election nf Mr. Ilrynn would be a
reul mennco to the commercial and in
dustrial Interests of our country because
nf the purpose ho cherishes and the power
ho would possess, I dn tint fool at liberty
tn act upon your suggestion: I feel it my
duty to at least wait until after Mr llry.in
