On Motion of Gov. Black's Friends the Nomination of Col. Roosevelt Was Made Unanimous.

SARATOGA, Sept. 28.-The convention was slow in reassembling in the afternoon. Only two candidates, Black and Roosevelt, were placed in nomination for governor.

At 1:15 p. m. Secretary of State Palmer moved a roll call and the motion was adopted. Before it got through the New York delegation it was evident that Mr. Roosevelt had a practical walk-over and at 7:36 enough votes had been cast to nominate him.

At 7:41 the roll call was completed and the vote was announced as follows: Roosevelt, 753; Black, 218.

Then the auditors and the delegates rose in a great mass and cheered. Judge Cady got the floor and moved the unanimous nomination. While the question was pending, Senator Krum, who had supported Gov. Black, said: "On behalf of Gov. Black and his friends, I say that they will stand by Theodore Roosevelt as he stood by the country."

The nomination was made unanimous, and at 7:46 the convention stood in recess until 9 o'clock.

The convention reassembled at 9:00 o'clock and speedily made the following nominations:

For Lieutenant Governor-Timothy L. Woodruff, renominated.

Secretary of State-John T. McDonough.

Controller-William J. Morgan.

State Treasurer-John B. Jaeckel.

Attorney General-John C. Davies.

State Engineer-Edward A. Bond.

All but Davies were nominated by acclamation.

The platform congratulates the country on the conclusion of the war with Spain, endorses the patriotic wisdom of the president in the conduct of the war, and the army and navy upon the splendid victories of the war. Commends the annexation of the Hawaiian islands and renews its allegiance to the doctrines of the St. Louis platform, and condemns and resists the democratic policies declared at Chicago. American products should be carried in American ships. The administration of Gov. Black is commended.
