Returning from Cuba
as a war hero, Theodore Roosevelt used the Citizens Union
in an atute scheme to get the Republican nomination, in spite of not being a machine Republican and having in mind to uproot the Republican "spoilsmen". He approached the Citizens Union and suggested the nomination of a state ticket what was endorsed by the Citizens' Union Executive Committee with only three dissenting votes. An "Independent Citizens Committee" was formed, and 6,000 signatures for a petition to file a ticket were gathered, the signers believing that Roosevelt headed the ticket and that the Citizens Union backed it. To avoid being ousted from power in an uncertain three-cornered election, the Republican bosses offered Roosevelt the nomination, and suddenly on September 24, he declined to allow his name to be used on the independent ticket. On September 30, a majority of the Citizens Union Executive Committee, led by Chairman R. Fulton Cutting, rejected the idea of a state ticket as "not only inconsistent with, but actually opposed to the fundamental principles and objects of the Citizens' Union," The Independent Citizens Committee answered next day and declared that nominations will be made. The petition to file the independent ticket was taken to the Secretary of State's office on October 12 purporting to represent nominations by the Citizens Union. The Secretary of State reserved his decision if the ticket would be filed or not. On this ticket were Theodore Roosevelt - already nominated by the Republicans state convention in September - for Governor; Thomas M. Osborne for Lieutenant Governor; Oren E. Wilson, Mayor of Albany 1894-1895, for Secretary of State; Thomas E. Kinney, Mayor of Utica
, for Comptroller; Edmund H. Titchener, of Binghamton
, for Treasurer; Frederick W. Hinrichs, the Gold Democrats nominee for Lt. Gov. in 1896, for Attorney General; and George E. Waring, Jr., of New York City
, for State Engineer. Roosevelt immediately sent a letter of declination to the Secretary of State. Besides, Republican party officials protested against the petition. The Independent Citizens' Committee on Vacancies substituted Theodore Bacon, a lawyer of Rochester
, on the ticket, and Citizens Union Chairman R. Fulton Cutting, despite his earlier rejection of the state ticket idea per se, campaigned for the ticket.
The incumbent Woodruff was re-elected.
The Republican, Democratic, Prohibition and Socialist Labor parties maintained automatic ballot status (necessary 10,000).
