Both Nominations Are Greeted by Demonstrations of Approval—The Platform Is Unanimously Adopted. CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS of Indiana. Chicago, June 22. Without disturbing element to impede smooth operation, the first day's program for the Republican national convention was carried out like clockwork. Not a jarring sound was heard, not a false step taken. It was an assembly of non-combative delegates which carried into effect, without the thunderous demonstration usually attendant upon political conventions, a purpose that had been clearly defined. An organization was perfected preparatory to the adoption of a platform and the making of nominations on the succeeding days of the convention. From the enthusiasm provoked by Senator Fairbanks' arrival at the Coliseum, his nomination for vice president is little less assured than the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for president. changed.

The keynote to the campaign of 1904 was sounded by Elihu Root in his speech as temporary chairman. His address was a review of the accomplishments of the present administration and a defense of Republican policies in general. When that had been delivered and the various working committees dispatched to their labors the business of the first day's session was completed. Incidents which are destined to live long after the spasmodic demonstrations have been forgotten are Mr. Root's tribute to President McKinley. The temporary chairman spoke of McKinley's Administration of Progress, his gentleness of character and those qualities so beloved by the nation, and in that connection said: "And with McKinley we remember Hanna," a hush, almost oppressive, spread over the 7,000 or more persons present. The speaker had paused expectantly. As he started to resume the full force of the tie stretched between the two great political heroes went home to the delegates. The applause started, and in a sympathetic wave was carried to every part of the hall. The demonstration was unlike any that had preceded it or that came after. An indefable dignity was attached to the demonstration that seemed foreign to a political gathering. Makes First Speech. The first speech of the convention was by Senator Scott, who informally presented to Chairman Payne a beautiful gavel. It was the gift of the Chicago citizens' committee, which cooperated with the national subcommittee in making arrangements for the convention. Later Graeme Stewart, present member of the national committee from Illinois, on behalf of the Chicago committees, presented a similar gavel to Temporary Chairman Root. It was left to Gov. Van Sant of Minnesota first to place the president's name before the convention. He found the occasion in presenting to the convention a table which had been built by the manual training school connected with the South Minneapolis high school. The Anplause Was General. Applause Was General, but not long continued, and in that set a preceent that was followed in suc- ceeding demonstrations. Yesterday's program of the convent ion was not of a nature to attract more than ordinary interest. The af- fair of greatest importance was the presenting to the convention of the proposal to admit the delegations from the Philippines and Porto Rico. Mr. Root asked for a ruling on the question of calling the names of the new possessions in the roll for naming members of the various committees. The convention ordered the seating and recognition of six delegates from the Philippines with two votes, and two delegates from Porto Rico. La Follette Makes No Contest. La Follette makes No Contest. The La Follette faction of the Wisconsin Republicans declined to make a contest before the credentials committee yesterday afternoon, declaring that it refused to do so on the ground that the committee on credentials was not an unprejudiced body, and making the flat statement that they understood some members of the committee had been "approached." What the nature of the "approach" might be or by whom made the La Follette people declined to state. They entered no particulars, simply making the broad and general charge of an "approach," and withdrew after stating that they preferred to submit their case to the people of Wisconsin at the election next November. Cannon Was Whole Show. Chicago, June 24. — Proceedings of the Republican national convention, with Joseph G. Cannon in the chair, yesterday took on a picturesqueness and demonstrativeness which Tuesday were lacking. From the moment Speaker Cannon was escorted to the platform to wield the gavel as permanent chairman the entire atmosphere of the convention --- changed. Enthusiasm, which had lain dormant, burst forth, and the applause rang true and hearty. He made a speech and the audience cheered whether he spoke jocularly or in a serious vein. He was the entertainer; in fact, he was the convention. The report of the committee on credentials interested the convention only so far as it dealt with the Wisconsin situation. Senator McComas of Maryland, chairman of the committee, read a report of the investigation of the contest. He took the delegates into the confidence of the committee and explained in detail that a thorough canvass was made into the Merits of the Contest Merts of the Contest despite the fact that the contestants had withdrawn their claims on the ground that fair treatment could not be had. He said the imputation was directed at the convention itself, and, though resented deeply by the committee, the inquiry was exhaustive and patient. The report closed with the declaration that the "stalwart" faction, led by Senators Spooner and Quarles, Representative Babcock and Judge Emil Baensch, as delegates at large, is the regular Republican party in Wisconsin. This national indorsement of the faction headed by the two United States senators from Wisconsin evoked prolonged applause. The platform had been the subject of administrative scrutiny and national interest for many weeks, and it was accepted Without a Dissenting Vote. Visitors were not so early about the convention hall yesterday, but when Mr. Root called the convention to shorten shortly after noon the Coliseum presented a more inspiring appearance than on the preceding day. The galleries were crowded for the first time, and a large number of women were present. After prayer by the Rev. Thomas E. Cox, the business of the day began. The announcement of the permanent organization for the convention started the continuous demonstration which followed the introduction of Speaker Cannon as permanent chairman. He was escorted to the platform by a committee consisting of John D. Long, Senator Cullom and Representative Burton of Ohio. The scene that followed was inspiring; flags waved, hats were thrown into the air, delegates jumped to their feet and then to chairs, shouting wildly. Loudly and Continuously. Speaker Cannon's story was distinctly to the liking of the convention. He opened with a delightfully refreshing and humorously frank avowal. Each of the thousand listeners received a confidential tip. The speaker had written his first speech and had tried to memorize it. But he did not show the slightest intention of following it. He knew the inspiration that would come, that had come, and he just wanted a free hand to cut loose. "So let us ramble a while." That is what he said. And then he abandoned himself to his limitless store of profound sagacity and his original and characteristic vocabulary. Throughout his address the cheering was generous, intelligent and appreciative. The Resolutions. The preamble calls attention to the fact that since the organization of the party and the election of Lincoln in 1860 the party has been in entire or partial control of the government with the exception of two years. The party entered upon the present period of complete supremacy in 1897. It found the country, after four years of Democratic rule, in an evil plight, oppressed with misfortune and doubtful of the future. It replaced Democratic tariff laws based on free trade with a consistent protective tariff, and industry, freed from oppression and stimulated and encouraged by wise laws, expanded to a degree never before known. Public Credit Rose. Public credit rose under the Republican administration to its highest point, and enabled the government to borrow at 2 per cent in time of war. The remainder of the preamble takes credit for the suppression of the Philippine rebellion, the purchase of the Panama canal, etc. In this record of achievement for the past eight years may be read the pledges which the Republican party has fulfilled. We promise to continue those policies and declare our constant adherence to the following principles: The Platform. Protection, which guards and develops our industries, is the cardinal policy of the Republican party. The measure of protection should always be at least equal to the difference in the cost of production at home and abroad. We insist on the maintenance of the principle of protection, therefore, and the rates of duty should be readjusted. The Resolutions. THE APPEAL. ST.

The decorations were pretty, simple and effective and their arrangement was artistic. This feature of the preparations was under the control of the local committee on arrangements, of which Sam B. Raymond was chairman. Mr. Raymond was warmly prized for his work by everybody who had the good fortune to see it. He exercised good taste without being extravagant and gave the convention results that were never before equaled. The acoustic properties were as nearly perfect as they could be in so large a structure. The platform was thrust out into the center of the great building, so that the voices of speakers carried with a distinctness never before known at similar functions, to the most remote corners, to the most in the good seat. That is something new in the experience of national conventions. Georgia sent a fine lot of Afro-American delegates to the convention, headed by Hon. J. L.

One of the most disappointed men at the convention was John M. Switzer, who made the journey here from the Orient. He came all the way from Cebu; in the Philippines, to see that the tariff on goods imported into the United States from the Philippines he reduced to 25 per cent of the Dingley rate and that there be a declaration in favor of ultimate free trade. The far Eastern visitor thought it was the great question of the hour, but the committee did not see it in the same light and passed the matter up. In the theatrical manner Theodore Roosevelt in oil came in view of the delegates at 12:30 Tuesday. Just as Elinhu Root, friend of the president and temporary chairman, was introduced, the sergeant-at-arms placed a life-size oil painting of the president on one side the stage, the other on complete canvas. The sight of Mr. Root and the president's picture electrified the convention. There was a cheering which could be heard a block away. Gov. Franklin Murnhy of New Jer- Defective Page sey, who has been re-elected as New Jersey's member of the Republican National Committee, has, however, for years been governor of his state, chairman of the state committee, and member of the National Committee. In addition to this Gov. Murphy was anxious to be selected as chairman of the Republican National Committee in this campaign before George B. Cortelyou was selected. Senator Scott, on behalf of the Chicago citizens' committee, which cooperated with the National Committee on Arrangements for the convention, presented National Chairman Henry C. Payne with a handsome gavel. It was large and made for business. A heavy gold band was inscribed, "Mr. Henry C. Payne, Chairman Republican National Committee, 1904." Mr. Payne expressed his appreciation of the gift. The first delegate to appear before the subcommittee of the committee on resolutions, was Dr. Robert Reyburn. DENT ROOS at Chicago Thursday, an November President of A member of the new National Committee from the District of Columbia, who wanted the subcommittee to recommend the adoption of a plank giving to the District of Columbia the right of suffrage and representative government. The proposition was turned down. The District of Columbia delegates made the following assignments for committees of the convention, after naming J. F. Cook chairman of the delegation: Honorary vice president of the convention, permanent organization, credentials to notify nominee for President, Mr. Cook; committee on resolutions, rules and order of business, to notify vice president, Dr. Reyburn. A number of "Lives" of the President are being sold on the street in front of the hall. One of these is called "The Triumphs of the Roosevelt Administration," and another is a tiny book, "The Candidate," not more than an inch square. The men selling it called out: "Smallest life of the greatest man. Put Roosevelt in your vest pocket." Président Roosevelt requested that the country newspapers have seats in the convention and the editors of the following newspapers made applications for seats: Bean Hollow, "Once Were" (sometimes); Slab Center, "Times"; Bountown, "Sting-ville," "Star"; Birds Corners, "Reporter"; Hog Flats, "Review"; Slamville, "Gazette." Secretary Root's peroration was a glowing tribute to the qualities of President Roosevelt as a man and president, and it was so eloquent, and rang so true that it brought the delegates to their feet cheering and waving flags, and incited the spectators to furnish a mighty chorus which seemed to shake the building. Before adjourning sine die, the old National Committee passed resolutions thanking the Chicago committee of arrangements, of which Samuel B. Raymond is chairman; Secretary Dover of the National Committee and Sergeant at Arms Williams F. Stone and his principal assistants, D. C. Owen and others. It was felt that it would be unjust to seat only two of the Filipino delegates after six had made the long trip for the convention, and it was decided to give seats to all and to limit the voting strength to two, the number allowed Porto Rico and the territories. The delegates never let the chance EVELT, and Will be Triumphantly l the People. go by to applaud when McKinley's name is mentioned. They seem to do it spontaneously and with feeling. There is something very touching about it. Lincoln's name, too, came in for handclapping when the speakers referred to him. Conservatism started with the smallest details in the arrangements. There never was a great gathering of men which allowed so much comfort in seating plans or gave the delegates so much room. Aisles were free. Entrance and exit were easy. Confusion was lacking. When Alexander McDowell, the clerk of the House of Representatives, came in and took his seat with the Pennsylvania delegation several of his friends made fun of his ressemblance to the popular conception of Uncle Sam, and he certainly does look the part. Senator Depew was asked his opinion as to the probable nominee of the coming St. Louis Democratic Convention. "I hope it will be David R. Francis," he said. "He is the nearest approach to a bad Republican that a good Democrat can be." Winston Churchill, the novolist, was the only literary delegate at the convention. He came from New Hampshire, which he has made his home for several years. He entered politics in a legislative campaign two years ago, and he likes it.

The flag showed the wear and tear of many similar contests. "Uncle Joe" waved it vigorously To a Republican congress and a Republican president this great question can be safely intrusted. When the only free trade country among the great nations agitates a return to protection, the chief productive country should not fail in maintaining it. Reciprocity. We have widely extended our foreign markets, and we believe the adoption of all practicable methods for their further extension, including commercial reciprocity whenever reciprocal arrangements can be effected, consistent with the principles of protection, without injury to American agriculture, American labor or any American industry. Gold Standard We believe it is the duty of the Republican party to uphold the gold standard of integrity and value of national currency. Merchant Marine. We favor legislation which will encourage and build up an american merchant marine and cordially up prove the legislation of the last congress which created a commission to investigate and report on the subject Powerful Navy. A navy powerful enough to defend the United States against any attack, to uphold the Monroe doctrine and watch over our commerce is essential to the safety and welfare of the American people. To maintain such a navy is the fixed policy of the Republican party. We cordially approve the attitude of the president and congress in regard to the exclusion of Chinese labor and promise a continuance of the Republican policy in that direction. Civil Service. The civil service law was placed on the statute book by the Republican party. We renew our former declarations that it shall be thoroughly enforced. Always mindful of the soldiers and sailors of the United States, we believe in making ample provision for them by liberal pension laws. We favor the peaceful settlement of international disputes by arbitration. Labor and Capital. Combinations of capital and labor are the results of the economic movement of the age, but neither must be permitted to infringe on the rights and interests of the people. The concluding paragraph mourns the untimely death of William McKinley. The American people have been fortunate in his successor. Roosevelt has justified the confidence placed in him. His administration throughout has been vigorous, honorable, high minded, patriotic. We commend it without reservation to the considerate judgment of the American people. Nomifations Are Made. Chicago, June 25.—For the second time in the history of Republican conventions selection of a national ticket was made yesterday without a dissenting vote. Theodore Roosevelt for president received every vote in the convention, while Charles W. Fairbanks, for vice president, was named by acclamation. Regardless of the fact that the nomination of president had been assured for months and the vice president for days, the announcement of the accompishment was accompanied by resounding demonstrations, which attested the candidates' popularity. The cheering was led by figures known through the breadth of the land and Echoed by a Mighty Throne of enthusiastic men and radiant women en assembled in the Coliseum to witness the crowning feature as well as the close of the thirteenth national convention that marks the semicentennial of the Republican party in the United States. No fewer than 10,000 persons participated in the ratification of the party program, and the consequent roar of the cheering and hand clapping was deafening. When Gov Black of New York made his speech nominating Theodore Roosevelt for president, the delegates in the Republican convention proved there was no absence of enthusiasm in their ranks when occasion justified evidence of that quality. For twenty-five minutes the great throng showed its approbation of the convention's choice for president. The name Roosevelt Came From Every Throat. Came From Every Threat. The New York delegates paraded the aisles, shouting at the top of their voices. Other delegations joined the throng, and the well ordered body of half an hour before was a shifting mass, every semblance of organization gone. While the demonstration was at its height Chairman Cannon stepped to the front of the stage. He held in his hands which was waved in 1860 when Lincoln was $2.40 PER YEAR. AND FAIRBANKS as Republican Party's President and President. Greeted by Demonstra-The Platform Is easily Adopted. nominated, and which had been used in every convention since. The flag showed the wear and tear of many similar contests. "Uncle Joe" waved it vigorously and kept time with his body. Soon the whole convention was swaying in exact measure. The chairman tired and his place was taken by a young man, who grasped the flagstaff firmly in one hand and with a megaphone Led the Yelling. At the conclusion of every seconding speech the performance was partly duplicated and the speakers themselves were generously applauded. When Senator Fairbanks had been nominated for vice president there was no diminution in the demonstration. Voices were hoarse, but the noise for the choice was just as unanimous as it was in filling the first place on the ticket. When the convention was called to order yesterday the galleries were filled for the first time. Tiers of the people were standing in the aisles and back of the rows of seats. It was 10:30 o'clock when Speaker Connon called the convention to order. Without preliminaries of any kind he returned to the order of the day and instructed the secretary to call the roll for nominations for president. Black Nominates Roosevelt. By agreement Alabama, the first state on the roll, yielded to New York. That was the signal for the first outburst of applause. In the midst of the cheering Former Gov. Black made his way to the platform. Speaker Cannon took him to the front and characteristically introduced him to the audience. But the orator chosen to present the name of Roosevelt needed no introduction. The delegates proved this, and also that they knew his mission by giving him a rousing reception before permitting him to proceed. Mr. Black entertained his audience by a discussion of party principles. He compared Republican standards with those of other parties. With his keen sense of humor and the deep thought displayed in his address the Orator Fascinated always, and frequently electrified his listeners. He led up to the nomination gradually by defining the type of man best suited for the party color bearer. As he named Theodore Roosevelt as the best example of that type the convention rose. The New York delegation led in the cheering, which almost immediately spread to every part of the floor, to the galleries and to the crowds which filled the entrances and overflowed into the streets. When from sheer exhaustion the strong lessened its tumult Speaker Cannon found his opportunity and restored order. Senator Beveridge was recognized by the chair to second the nomination of Mr. Roosevelt for president. He was followed by George A. Knight of California, Harry Stillwell Edwards of Georgia, Former Gov. Bradley of Kentucky, Joseph B. Cotton of Minnesota and Harry S. Cummings of Maryland. Mr. Cummings is one of the colored delegates and he told of the colored man's service to the Republican party and his interest in President Roosevelt. The roll was called and the unanticipated votes of the delegations were recorded for Mr. Roosevelt. Pandemium broke loose again when Speaker Cannon announced that in the convention there were '984 votes and '984 had been cast for Roosevelt. Fairbanks Is Named. Alabama again yielded its place at the head of the list when the roll call was started for nominations for vice president. The honor was this time given to Iowa, and Senator Dollliver, taking the platform, named Senator Charles Warren Fairbanks of Indiana. The speech was an eloquent indorsement of the candidate's qualifications and was received with tremendous applause. Seconding speeches were made by Senator Depew, Senator Foraker, Gov. Pennypacker of Pennsylvania and Senator Carter of Montana. All were applauded to the echo and the great popular demonstration which greeted the unanimous nomination by the convention was a tribute to the Indiana statesman whose name was thus joined with Roosevelt's. When Illinois, Nebraska, Missouri and Georgia were called announcement was made that the candidacles of favorite sons had been withdrawn. Senator Fairbanks was then declared nominated by acclamation. The usual resolutions of thanks to officers of the convention and to committees on arrangements were adopted and the great body adiurned. The selection of Hon. Henry F. Cummings of Baltimore as one of the orators to second the nomination of President Roosevelt is a well deserved compliment to one of the brightest young men of the race. He is a good speaker and will hold his own with the other "seconders" at the National Convention. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

More than any other man in public life, Theodore Roosevelt stands for the manhood rights of all American citizens, regardless of race or color. It is therefore the people that he has been nominated to succeed himself as President of the United States. The Republicans at Chicago have no mistake in the selection of Theodore Roosevelt as the standard bearer of the good husband and father, a patriot, a man admired by all men, regardless of party affiliation for his independence, his courage, his manly devotion to the highest ideals of citizenship. In present crisis of the race, with a systematic and thoroughly organized movement is working with militant energy to destroy the civil and political rights of the Afro-American people and to reduce them to a position of absolute security, all the relations of which is well that man in the presidential chair, and it is comforting to be A. H. HON. CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS, Of Indiana, Nominated for President at Chicago love that he will remain there four years longer. President Roosevelt is a brave soldier and realizes what the soldiers of the race have done for our common country. In an interview he said: "I know of the bravery and character of the Afro-American soldier. He said of the race when he raided the Riflers in a bad position when the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry came rushing up the hill, carrying everything before them. The Afro-American soldier has the faculty of coming to the front when he is needed most. In the will he is needed the strong and I believe he is saved the Union." In a Democratic convent North Carolina one poured for congress. In his acceptance he attacked Roosevelt because of his "If I could be absolutely assured of my election as president by turning my back on the principles of human liberty as enunciated by Abraham Lincoln, I would be incapable of doing it and unit for president if I could be incapable of doing it. I would be elected president by those who would close the door of hope against the Afro-American as a citizen. If I elected to this high office it must be on my record as the executor of the law without favors or discriminations." This was President Roosevelt's comment on the speech of Sen. Joseph R. Kennedy, the booker T. Washington as his guest at dinner at the White House. President Roosevelt is our friend. His famous Thanksgiving letter, in which he said: "I cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the grounds of liberty, in order to justify the second edict of emancipation." It is a reiteration of the noble principles upon which the Republican party was built. Abraham Lincoln took the shackles from the bodies of 3,000, bonded men, bound in chains, to do best to free 8,000,000 Afro-Americans in the South from a slavery which endeavors to repress all legitimate ambition and render the Afro-American a parish in the land of his birth. Millions of Afro-Americans love Theodore Roosevelt with a love which knows no bounds and he will receive the votes of every member of the race who is allowed to vote in November. The unanimous election of George B. Cortelyou as chairman of the national Republican committee was dictated by wisdom, and means cleaner and better but less expensive and less methods. Mr. Cortelyou is a quiet man, but he does things, and his rapid rise in public life should serve as an inspiration to young men who are without a "pull" and must depend upon their own well performed body. That Mr. Cortelyou will prove to be the right man in the right place there is not a shadow of doubt. Hon. Elmer Dover, secretary of the national Republican committee, who is not yet thirty-two years old, is a striking example of what a young man who is faithful in the performance of his duties may accomplish, years ago when the private secretary of Senator Hanna, who said he was the best secretary he ever had. Now he is a nightly force in the greatest political organization in the country. He has gone up because he deserved to rise. He will give a good account of his stewardship. The Republican platform contains the following, which shows that the president has taken a stop to disfranchisement in the South: "We favor such congressional action as shall determine whether by special discrimination the elective franchise in any state has been unconstitutionally limited, and if such is the case, we demand that representation grass and in the reduced college shall be proportionally as directed the constitution of the United States. The Democratic State Convention of Arkansas sidestepped all of the issues except one, by declaring that "in view of the near approach of the national convention of the Democratic party we defer to that body a more specific declaration of principle upon national questions." The one issue upon which the convention was unanimous was the race question. With one voice the Arkansas Democrats declared the Afro-American to be the social and political inferior of the Caucasian. A Southern tramp enroute North for the summer reached Toledo, Ohio, where he discovered that Harris, a boy aged 10 years old, fishing with some Caucasian boys on the banks of the Maumee river. This show of boyish race equality so exasperated the tramp that he threw the little Afro-American boy into the water, saying, "You'll have to swim or sink, you 'nigger.'" The boy and was drowned. The tramp escaped. Dr. John Dill Robertson of the Amer- THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER.

What does Pou amount to, any way? Who ever heard of him in congress? Phew! Some of the petty clerks in the Norfolk navy yards are protesting against the appointment of an Afro-American clerk. They say they'll resign rather than work with the new clerk, but up to the hour of going to press no resignations had been received by the command. The Bible is to be the chief textbook at a new university costing $200,000 to be established at McKinney, Texas. The idea is a good name as the Bible is certainly needed in the South. If the Southern Caucasians followed its teachings there would be no race problem. HON. HARRY S. CUMMINGS. Who Seconded the Nomination o President Roosevelt. President Roosevelt in an address at Valley Forge drew lessons from the lives of Washington as the father of the country and of Lincoln as its savior. He said their heroism marked the greatest epochs in the history of the nation. Sir Charles N. F. Elliot, British commissioner and commander-in-chief for the East African protectorate, has resigned the commissionership because he is opposed to the proposed Jewish settlement in the East African protectorate: The Southern people are to blame for the bitter race feeling now growing in the North. Their agents, Tillman, Vardam, Graves, Nixon, Lyon, Bolt, Jeff Davis of Arkansas and others have helped to stir up the feeling. The Montgomery Advertiser comes out boldly and declares that the Afro-American is not a citizen of the state of Alabama, but a citizen of the state of Texas, in sympathy of every white man." The race is not hankering for any Alabama "sympathy." It is the common welfare that brings abiding loyalty to each citizen. The spirit which today seeks to deprive one citizen of his rights because he is poor and black, may tomorrow endeavor to rob another citizen of his rights simply because he is poor. Before another issue of THE APPEAL, he added the next President of the United States will have been nominated; before the Ideas of November he will be elected. His name is Roosevelt, if anybody should ask you. A great responsibility rests upon the newspapers of the South. Instead of supporting without fear or favor the enforcement of the law, in many cases they extinute or apologize for the work done by mobs. The Southern papers that are howling about failure of the Afro-American as a laborer should advocate the policy of treating farm laborers as human beings. That plan would work wonders. According to Dr. Angell, president of the University of Michigan, the world is full of educated fools, who chatter like crows over their useless knowledge. Our "best friends" of the South ought to exert themselves to break up the peonage system in the South. It is simply another name for slavery. NATIONAL CONVENTION NOTES. Continued from First Page.

It was the gift of the local committee on arrangements. A. N. Johnson of Alabama; W. E. Mollison of Mississippi; H. L. Johnson of Georgia; E. J. Dickerson of South Carolina and J. Madison Vance of Louisiana were the Afro-American members of the committee on resolutions. Order and quiet were so well maintained by the people on the floor that the chirping of sparrows up in the iron arches of the building was distinctly audible, and times this twittering was the noisest of all noises. "Coolest place in town," was frequently heard. It was really cool and pleasant in the hall. Some of the spectators said the reason was the absence of the speaker that generally goes with a convention. Among the delegates from New Jersey was the only son of a former president officially named the co-chairman Harry A. Garfield, who occupies the chair of politics at Princeton University. Senator Hopkins was the first of the Illinois delegation to appear at the convention, accompanied by Col. Frank O. Lowden. Senator Cullom speedily followed and was greeted with a round of cheers. This is the fourth Republican National convention to be held in Chicago within the last quarter of a century. It is twenty-four years from the convention of 1880 to the convention of 1904. Prince Kuhlo of Hawaii was the only son of royalty to sit in the Republican National Convention. He is a member of the family which formerly held royal sway over the islands. Dr. Jose Gomez Barbosa, of the Porto Rican delegation, is one of the island's greatest scholars—a graduate of the University of Michigan. He is of African extraction. W. B. Wiyhe, with the connivance and assistance of the two senators of Iowa, dealt the "iowa idea" a solar plexus blow in a caucus of the Iowa delegation. When many things have been forgotten it will be remembered that this convention was commemorative, in a way, of William McKinley and M. A. Hanna. The committee on credentials numbered among its members the following Afro-Americans: N. H. Alexander, Alabama; Wesley Crayton, Mississippi. Ferd. Havis of Arkansas; A. A. Gates of South Carolina, and W. H. Matthews of Georgia, were on the committee on permanent organization. There are two Afro-Americans on the new National Republican Committee, J. W. Lyons of Georgia and W. L. Cohen of Louisiana. Mrs. J. B. West of Idaho, of the four women delegates in the convention, says female suffrage has purified politics in her state. HON. JUDSON W. LYONS. Register U. S. Treasury—National Committeeman—Delegate from Georgia. Joseph E. Lee of Florida and W. D. Crum of South Carolina are on the committee to notify vice presidential nominee. One striking feature of the convention was the absence of bands and the fact that there were no parades. Richard R. Quay, son of the late Senator M. S. Quay, was one of the Pennsylvania delegates. They said the convention would be a tame affair, but it was not. There was great enthusiasm. The man who has "attended every convention since Lincoln was nomi- THE UNITED STATES WAS NOMINATED nated" was on hand. E. H. Deas, the "Duke of Darlington," was chairman of the South Carolina delegation. The convention gave seats and votes to representatives of peoples still alien and foreign. Mr. A. N. Johnson of Mobile, Alabama, was on the Committee on Resolutions. There were five acres of seats under the arches of the Collisseum. Hon. J. C. Napier was secretary of the Tennessee delegation. The Filipino National Committee-man is Henry B. McCoy. M. B. HON. GEORGE B. CORTELYOU. Chairman National Republican Committee Defective Page WASHINGTON THE CITY OF-MAGNIFICENT DISTANCES. A Collection of a Few of the Events Occurring Among the Afro-Americans of the Capital of This Great and Glorious Nation for Our Many Readers. Washington, June 22. On the recommendation of Secretary Taft the President has directed Chaplain Allen Allensworth to be promoted from the rank of captain (salary $1,800) to the rank of major ($2,500 per annum), with the provisions of an act of the recent session of Congress authorizing such promotion in cases of chaplains who have had ten years' service in the army and who have been specially recommended for promotion by their superior officers on account of meritorious service. Chaplain Allensworth, who is now on duty with the Twenty-fourth Infantry at Fort Harrison, Mont., is present at the Afro-American chapleans. He has seen much active duty, and his service with the "fighting Twenty-fourth," which did good work in Cuba, has been continuous since his entry into the army, on April 1, 1886. He was born in New York and is the oldest of all the Afro-American chapleans, both in age and length of service. Mr. Wm. Jennifer, the writer of the "Epitome of the Booker T. W. Washington Banquet in the City of Washington," has about completed the work, and is now a board member. He promises to be the most unique work of its kind ever presented to the public. Mr. Jennifer is quite sanguine of the success of his work. Mr. J. Harry Harris left the city last Sunday for a visit to his old "stamping ground" in the Second ward of Chicago. While west Mr. Harris will visit Pooria, Springfield and St. Louis. The Aeolian Mandolin, Guitar and Banjo Club, a musical organization composed of 24 ladies and gentlemen, held its last meeting of the season on Saturday evening. The club reports a successful year socially and financially, the ensuing year: President, Albert Ridleyge; vice president, Miss Blanche Nalle; secretary, Mr. George H. Benjamin; treasurer, Mr. Percy Brooks; director, Mr. Benjamin Washington; manager, Mr. Ralph Stewart; custodian, Dr. W. P. Napper. After the business meeting an elegant collation was served. The club has dis banded until October lst. Mrs. John H. Paynter and family have gone west on an extended visit. A reception was given last Friday evening, at the residence of Miss Euretta B. Matthews, 1920 11th W. Parks, New York City, who is visiting Miss Gertrude Ryan. Among those invited to meet Miss Perkins were: Misses Geisler Smallwood, Lizzie Yates, Jannie Coles, Lauren Wilson, Helen Kern, Eliza Bell, Estelle Kennedy, Cloyd Houston, Essie Burrell, Gertrude Ryan and Messrs. J. Cubert Campbell, U. Houston, Joseph Ryan, Chase. Evans, Kresa, Bessie Cook, John A. Cohn, Cook, Dr. Fry, Benjamin Brown, William Wells and William Baltimore. Henry F. Daniels and D. J. B. Ballard two well known Chicago citizens, spent several days in the city visiting friends. In the recent reconstruction and equipment of their courts on Howard University hill the Park Rocket Club, composed of nine well known residents living in that section of the city, have shown commitment to the club that is so saturated with the western "get there-ism" of Messrs. Pelham of Michigan, Joiner of Illinois and Gray of Kansas that it is noted for doing things in an up-to-date manner, and their recent improvements for the play of the scenery, the grounds and the grounds and little club house outfit into first-class condition and equal to that of any club in the city—all the rest of which are composed of whites. The tournament games of the club played last fall proved a social event, and many look forward to recurrence of the games for championship honors in the early fall. The following well-muscular members are members of messaress, Robert Pelham, Jr., Arthur Gray, William A. Jolner, F. Schadd, Jr., Dr. W. A. Conner, J. Neill, Prof. Syphax, Editor H. P. Slaughter and Dr. Scurck. Richmond Virginia is now enforcing a "Jim Crow" street car law and reports from reliable sources indicate that not long since the Afro-Americans THE NEW YORK TIMES Page of their thirty Southern town expressed their utter disappalow of this discrimination in true American fashion. It seems as though the Afro-American churchgoers of the city combine their services ever so often by meeting in one building, church and church, in particular Sunday referred to was a considerable distance from the center of the Afro-American population, necessitating the use of street cars under ordinary circumstances, but the ministers of the several churches held secret meetings a few days before the Sunday meeting and pastors pledged themselves not to use any of the street cars. Not a word was spoken about the meetings, and the railway people and citizens were surprised to see great numbers of Afro-Americans walking all during the day. It is estimated that upward of 3,000 people and that the street car companies were deprived of 6,000 fares, or $300 for the day. Since this obnoxious law has gone into effect the falling off in business has also necessitated the permanent suspension of five or six street car crews. It seems that the lack of last learned that the vital spot of the Caucasian is his pocket book. A notable affair of the past week was the celebration by Mr. and Mrs. James F. Bundy of the twentieth anniversary of their marriage. The event took place at their home, 403 O street, Monday evening, from 8 to 12 o'clock. A group of women in attendance, and congratulatory letters were received from others throughout the country. Mr. Bundy is secretary and treasurer of the Howard University School of Law, and an active member of the board of education. The house was decorated with flowers and the back lawn illuminated with Japanese lanterns. Promptly at 8 o'clock Miss Lotttie Brown began to play a wedding march, and Mr. and Mrs. Bundy and their attendants entered the parlorers. Mrs. Bundy was beamed by French voile over taffeta silk. The bodice was trimmed with white chiffon and peau de cygne, and she wore diamonds. Chas. E. Hall. GALA NIGHT AT THE APPOMAT TOX. Delegates and Visitors Entertained. Of all the functions given during convention week none excelled that given by the Aspomattox Club West. The elementary reception tendered the delegates and alternates to the convention and their friends. The crowd in attendance was the largest ever entertained by the visitors, who were filled to their utmost capacity. Among the visitors were some of the most distinguished Afro-Americans in the country. The speakers were at their best and the flow of the conversation was one on one occasion. The members of the club vied with each other in showing attention to their guests, and they were the recipients of much deserved praise in which the affair was carried out.

Crawford Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Taylor of Rhodes avenue, corner 33rd, gave a delightful reception on last evening in honor of their guests, Hon. and Mrs. H. T. Eubanks of Cleveland, Ohio. There was no elaborate program, but various ladies and gentlemen rendered readings. There was a large number present comprising numerous representatives of the elite of the city and visitors to the city. The ladies were most charmingly attired, and the handsome parlors which were redolent with the perfume of the prose, were very well attired. Bounty seldom witnessed even in Chicago. The hostess, with the hospitality characteristic of a Kentuckian, made every one feel at home, and the refreshments served ad libitum in the dining room were most totoothse and bountiful. This was one of the most delightful dialects. There were fully one hundred and fifty guests present during the evening. In the present troubled times, we should use every means within our power to counter the race. "Twas the immortal Lincoln who said: "Public sentiment is everything.

Mr. Howard's preparations were awarded the grand prize at the Paris Exposition of 1900 and they are considered to be the best that are made anywhere. The big department stores in most of the large cities handle Howard's goods. He has made an arrangement with the Golden Rule in this city to handle his goods and this enterprising and unprejudiced firm placed a big order with Mr. Howard. Mr. Howard states that he now gets orders from all parts of the civilized world and the manufactory at 3544 State street is constantly working at full capacity.

Too Stringent Justice. In Flanders by accident a Flemish tiler fell from the top of a house upon a Spaniard and killed him, though he escaped himself. The next of the blood prosecuted his death with great violence and when he was offered peculiary recompense nothing would serve him but retaliatory punishment. Thereupon the judge said that if he urged that sentence he should go to the top of the house and then fall down upon the tiler. PHONES: OFFICE HOURS: OFFICE: MAIN 2927-J1. 8 TO 12 A.M.

He was wealthy and could have lived a life of leisure, but he believed it to be his duty to serve his fellow men. His life teaches a lesson: Right conduct and adherence to right principles are not barriers to political success.

(Specially adapted to Monday morning reading) I'll tell you a cure for the worst case of blues That ever drove man to commingle with hostess. I've tried it myself quite as numerous times As I've huggers and toes or occasion for rhymes. Tis this: When a purpling horizon I see I jolly some fellow that's bluer than me. You never have felt in your life, I'll assert. So deep and so strong a sensation of hurt Bot that, if you sought 'mid the man that you knew. You'll have some poor devil whose tinting or blue Would make your own color seem tame by its side. So try on this rule I so often have tried. When next the blue devils have camped on your trail, And did you can see for yourself is to fail, Would around till you find some poor mourn. Who muddled to death with some terrible mussel. Just size up his trouble, forget you are blue. And jolly the fellow that's bluer than you. -S. W.
