The point waa Immaterial; bat as one delegate expressed it, We just had to fight about something to make It a ' regular convention. There was sharp discussion,- - however, In several committee meetings and no little difficulty In agreeing upon the platform as finally adopted. Colonel Roosevelj worked with the subcommittee in change of the platform until late Wednesday afternoon, going over their, work of the two previous flays and nights and vigorously helping to mould the draft which at last proved acceptable to him. The platform did not take sip the negro question. In thla connection, one of the Inter estlng seconding speeches of the day ywas that of P. R. Gleed of New Tork, a negro.
