the National convention of Chicago,
was expected to resolve itself Into a
political mass meeting as soon as the
business had been completed, with" Bonn
ator J. B. Foraker. of Ohio. as speak-i
er. Comparatively little interest was;
taken in the convention itself. as there 5
was no contest for delegates with ”lei
exception of one place on the list. and it .
was considered certain that they would
be instructed for President Roosevelt. i

.iust before tlie convention was call-3
ed to order, at 10 o'clock. it developed'
that cx-Govern'or Stewart had with-
drawn from the list of national dele-
gates, and promptly several candidates
for the vacant place were announced.
About six hundred representatives of
the party were present when (i. M.
Wbapman, of Mlddlebury. chairman of
the state committee, requested the as-
sembly to come to order. Mr. (‘hap-
man introduced as temporary chairman
former Congressman II. Ii. Powers, of i
Morrisville. ' ;
The opening of the convention was.
delayed for a time by the failure of a?
delegation from Washington to arrive.
The train brin g Senators Proctor
and Dillingham‘a‘% Congressman Dos-
ter and Charles , Darling. assistant
secretary of the navy, was late on ac
count of the heavy snow storm lastI
night.
Senator Foraker's address was de-
livered before the regular business of
the convention was taken up. The
speaker was introduced by Chairman
Powers and the audience received him
most cordially. The Senator spoke
for about an hour.
