TICKET CHOSEN WITHOUT CONTEST. Conner Governor Iilnck Presented O'Doll's Name Senator Depew Dlsetisses National i-olitiis. speech by Kooscvclt. Saratoga, N. Y., Set. 5. The state Republican convention nominated the following ticket without opposition: For governor, B. B. O'Oell, Jr., of Orange; for lieutenant governor, Tim othy L. Woodruff of Kings; secretary of state, John T. McDonough of Al bany; comptroller, William J. Mor gan of Erie; staite treasurer, John P. Jaeckel of Cayuga; attorney general, John C. Davles of Onalda; state en gineer, Edward A. Bond of Jefferson. Perhaps the most Interesting feat ture of the convention was the fact tJfcat the speech nominating O'Dell was made by former governor Frank S. Black, who had been ouislde the or ganization breastworks since Theo dore Roosevelt defeated 'him two years ago when 'he desired renomlna tlon. Mr. Black said the Issues now before the American people were dis cussed and settled four years ago. He said "the ghost of anti-Imperialism which stalks to and fro between Lin coln and Bloomlngton, with occasional manifestations in Boston Is not, and cannot be made an issue. This coun try Is and has been committed to the policy of growth and it cannot be ItKXJAMIX B. O'DELL. swerved from that policy by now scarecrows erected along the way." He remarked that the Democratic party "seems never to understand the temper or intelligence of the people. It has endeavored In every campaign lor 40 years to make the discarded heresies of the preceding campaign presentable by joining a live heresy ORATOR GALGARRITA wSmmmih, ., the old dead one3." Mr. Black ' closed with an eulogy of Mr O'Dell, whom he presented for the gubarna- tonlal nomination. Depew IjiiikIs tlio President. Senator Depew presented the name of Timothy L. Woodruff for lieutenant governor. He 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 In terests no campaign In this state could bo considered local. The Span ish war was reviewed, after which Mr. Depow said: "Free silver, free trade, assaults on the supreme court, and efforts to throw away the results of the war, a cowardly disposition to scuttle, are threatening the strong holds of national faith, national cred it and national power. Our light Is to hold the fort. We are fortu nate, peculiarly so, In our candidate for president. In every state he is the commander-in-chief and the Re publlcan candidates in every state are generalsofcorps.ofdlvislons and brig ades In that commonwealth. Precipitated suddenly as a world ipower Into the counsel of nations, called upon to face, first, the problem of admission to tiho mirkets of the Orient which were fcilng divided among the great powc a of Europe, and next to ffhowd that the United States would bend all resources in vin dication of its honor, when its minis ter and ambassador were beleagured, the finest triumph of diplomacy of the nineteenth century was won in the concession of the open door; the most picturesquo campaign of history or romance Is successfully ended with the American flag flying over the Im perial palace In Peking. Not only the United States, but every civilized and somi-clvll!zed country of the globe is today giving unstinted admiration to tho statesmanship, the generalship and tho diplomacy of Wllllaim Mc Kinloy." Coming to tho question of expansion, and tho argument that that policy Ja opposed to tho spirit of the Declaration of Independence, we all mortal document. There Is nothing which Colonel Bryan can say In his claim for the exclusive ownership of things taught In the Declaration of In dependence that has not been more brilliantly said and actually done by the Republican statesmen." Mr. Bryan was severely scored for the attitude ho assumed In the Kentucky campaign last year, after whioh Mr. Depew closed with a strong indorsement of Woodruff for lieutenant governor. O'Dell Accepts. Mr. O'Dell In accepting the nomina tion said In part: "Important as the stale Issues are, they are overshadow ed by the greater matters Involved In the national campaign. To my mind the paramount Issue Is the re-election of McKlnley who has so ably kept all pledges. Re-elect him and tho poli cies already In force, and to be In augurated will place us upon a higher plane than ever before and we shall enjoy Lhe full fruition of our hope for general prosperity. Every dollar of obligation will continue to be worth one hundred cents and wherever our flag iloat3, It will be respected because American munhojad has baptized It with blood." The ticket was then completed, the Secretary being instructed to cast the ballot of the convention for each of the subsequent nominees. This con cluded the convention's work and a committee was appointed to invite Governor Roosevelt to address the gathering. The nominee for vice pres ident responded and was given an ovation as he mounted tho platform Speech ly Roosevelt Mr. Roosevelt in opening, congratu lated the convention on the men nom inated. Referring to national affairs, and statements made that the senate would prevent the enactment of free silver legislation even though Mr Bryan and a Democratic house were to bo elected, Mr. Roosevelt said: "The election of Mr. Bryan this fall would be tho people's mandate for free silver and as such it would tell upon every senator who has felt doubtful hew to act in the past. "The men who directly or indirectly aid Mr. Bryan In this contest must understand that any vote cast except ior the re-election of President Me Klnley is a vote for free silver and for social disorder, a vote for tho partial repudiation of our debts, and for an absolute upsetting of our financial and Industrial systems, and upon all such men will rest forever afterwards a heavy responsibility of having plunged the business world Into disaster, the laboring world into misery and of having tainted with dishonor the na tional name." Ho said that abroad their success would mean that the na tion was to cringe before the honor able task it has so honorably begun and to take down the flag from under which we are introucing the Philip pines, not only to such order, but to such liberty as had never been known In the islands before and to hand thorn back unspeakable tyranny of a corrupt oligarchy. "There Is no such thing as militarism o Impelalism at stake In the contest. These are names used only to frighten the foolish. If it is militarism to be In the Philippines lit is then militarism to be in Hawaii and Alaska. If It is militarism to put down the Tagal banditti then It is militarism to put down an Apacho outbreak. Anti-imperialism Is the name by which they seek to disguise their policy of contraction." At the close of Governor Rooso venlt's speech, tho convention adjourn ed sine die. Montana Republicans. Helena, Mont., Sept. 6. State Chair man Woolman called the Republican abate convention to order at 11 a. m. Among the arrivals are United States Senator Knuto Nolson of Minnesota and Former Senator John L.

Talks to Farmers on Issues Wilsun Comes out For liniui. Shepherdstcwn, W. Va., Spt. 5. Mr. Bryan began the second day of his piesent tour at thl3 point. A fair was In progress and the attendance was Immense, people having come not only from West Virginia, but also from Maryland and Pennsylvania to hear the speech, while they amended the fair. Mr. Bryan spent the nlht on his cpeclal train. Previous to go'ng to tho grounds he and hl3 entire party took breakfast at Bellevue, which faces Antietam battlefield across the Potomac. Here Mr. Bryan met many of the local leaders and spent two hours mose enjoyably. A letter was read at the meeting from Hon. W. L. Wilson, ex-postmaster general, indorsing: Mr. Bryan and saying that only sickness prevented 'his attendance at the meeting. Col onel Chow presided and Introduced Hon. George Wendllng who read Mr. Wilson's letter before introducing Mr. Bryan. He laid stress upon tho fact that Mr. Wilson had been a member of Mr. Cleveland's cabinet. In his let ter, Mr. Wilson emphasized his oppo sition to a colonial or imperialistic policy, saying that he had early taken this position. Mr. Wendllng who had opposed Mr. Bryan in 1S9C, made a brief speech, himself vigorously at tacking Republicanism and pledg ing to Mr. Bryan his support this campaign. He said he had known Mr. Bryan from his boyhood, and that all the money In Wall street could not buy him. Mr. Bryan begin his speech by ic ferrlng to Mr. Wilson in mo3t compli mentary terms. He had known Mr. Wilson In congress and he had never believed that so kind and loving a man could indorse a war of conquest. Mr. Bryan e.vpiesed his pleasure at being able to address an assemblage of farmers. He wanted to know ho.v any farmer could be a Republican. It w is easy to understand how tho iheid of a trust or an army contractor could be a member of that party. After the farmer has taken the chances of a good or bad crop he passes between the bulls and bears of Wall street Tho bulls horn him, the bears bite him, and when ho is through with them ho iha3 to meet the gold bug. Mr. Bryan discussed the financial question, showing that more money was especially necessary to the farmer. TR0PI0ALST0RM. It Will Put an Knd to tho Long Period of Toirlri Weather. Washington, Sept. 3. The weather bureau has issued the following spe cial storm bulletin: A tropical stone which has been moving slowly west ward over the Caribbean sea durins the last fow days, crossed Cuba Tueo day night and Is central near Key West, Fla. Thus far tho storm h is been attended only by heavy rains and Vinds of moderate force. The outlook, however, is that the (enter of the disturbance wilj move Dver the east portion of the Gulf of Mexico with a marked increase of in tensity and cause dangerous windo along the middle and east gulf, Flori da arid extrome South Atlantic coasts Thursday. Continuing a northward movement the storm probably wdl be felt as far north as Norfolk by Thurs day night and Is likely to extend over the middle Atlautlc and south New England coasts 'by Friday. Aside from indicated high easterly wlnd-, along the Atlantic coast, this d s turbance promises to cause general rains over tho eastern part of tliu country which will cover the South Atlantic and gulf states Thursday, the middle Atlantic states Friday and New England Friday night and Saturday. It will also terminate the period of high temperature whioh has pre vailed east of the Mississippi. Powers Sentenced. Georgetown, Ky., Sept. 5.

NO PROGRESS IN NEGOTIATIONS. American Representatives In China )Not Clothed VUtlt Authority to Aleut Knvoya and Conclude 1 ei nit For Peace. Washington, Sept, 5. Our govern ment has not yet been informed that any further responses 'have been made by the powers to the Russian note re specting the withdrawal of troops from Peking. Thereforo the negotia tions on thl3 point cannot be said to have been marked by any formal ad vancement, enough it is known that unofficial exchanges, in progress which doubtless are preparing the way for a formal agreement between the powers in the near future. Acting through Li Hung Ohang the Chinese imperial government Is mak ing strenuous efforts to secure favor able consideration for lt3 peace over tures. While our government has not yet received a copy of the imperial edict referred to In the Shanghai dis patches naming Earl LI and several other Chinese notables as plenipoten tiaries to negotiate for a settlement with the powers, the state department is advised through its agents of the existence of such an edict. This, It is expeutel. will be communicated to the department when Mr. Wu, the Chi nese minister, returns to Washington. It is ascertained that neither Mr. Rockhlll, Mr. Conger, nor General Cnaffee have been clothed with any special power- to meet these or any other Chinese envoys. It is again stated that Mr. Rockhlll Is in China simply to observe and leport upon conditions he 'ms no ministerial pow ers up to the present. General Chaf fee's functions are puiely military, so it ia oaid, and while of course lie would be fully ompowered to grant a truce, he is not empowered to con duct negotiations for a final settle ment between the United States an 1 China. Minister Conger has only his gener al powers a a minister realdont. Broadly construed the.se would serve to warrant him in receiving and trans mitting any propositions from the Chinese authorities, but ho could scarcely go further than this. The conclusion Is that no United States ofllcial In China, civil or military, can at present conduct negotiations for a final sottleaient with the Chinese gov ernment and special powers mii3t be conveyed Ly tho state depaitmcnt, probably to one of the three, persons named, when It comas to the final reckoning. There is no disposition here to com plain of dilatorlness on the part of the powers In disposing of the Russian suggest! on tespecting withdrawal. It is felt tint any delay which ensues in the execution of the Russian threat to withdraw actually makes for peace, for each day's developments point to the restoration to authority in Peking of some ghost of a government which may become tinglble enough to deal with the powers.

Talk of War Groundless. New York, Sept 5. Francis E. Loomis, United States minister to Venezuela -who has just arrived here from Caracas, said in an Interview: "Just before I stilod for New York I learned that the joint committee of 'Colombians and Venezuelans appoint ed by the queen of Spain to decide tho boundary lino between Colombia and Venezuella, has completed its task and had advanced the boundary lino to tho Negro river. This gives to Colombia a sllco ot Venezuela, which, reduces tho size of itho latter nearly ono- elghtih. The land In question Is barren country. Tho decision of tho commis sion was received acceptably by the Venezuelans." Mr. Loomis Bald tho talk of a war between Colombia and Venezuela is utterly groundless. Memphis, Tcnn., Sept. 5.
