Our New York Letter recalls a 1900s convention moment where Powell Clayton of Arkansas chaired briefly. The young Roosevelt, aged twenty four, objected to a national committee's influence, demanded Negro recognition, and supported Lynch as a delegate from Mississippi. The roar of support toppled the committee and Lynch prevailed. Byron’s Mazeppa is referenced.

Harrison, Allison and Finlayson are mentioned in the chaotic prelude to the nomination.
