Chicago, t Juno 3. To-night Chicago Is
deserted, as far as the Republican Na
Uonal Convention Is concerned, and on the
special trains which ore speeding across
Illinois to the World's Fair city is ev
ery delegate and alternate whose busi
ness and social engagements will permit
him to bo In St. Louis long enough to
get the dark-brown taste of this .conven
tion removed by a trip along the Pike
and through the pleasures and delights of
the Fair.
On the three special trains which wore
provided by the Exposition management
over the Illinois Central, Chicago and Al
ton and Wabash railways, over 1,000 mem
bers of the convention were carried last
night
Long before the trains were due to de
part the stations were crowded with the
throng of St Louis-bound Republicans. At
the gates each delegate was Identified by
:ne chairman of his delegation, which
gave him a, free ride to the Exposition
city. Many had purchased berths In the
Pullmans, The Alton carried six Pullmans,
the WabasH four and the Illinois Central
four, all of which weie filled to the
limit The majority of the delegates,
fccwevtr, preferred to occupy the chair
cars, and will probably spend the night
la discussing the different phases of the
convention.
The six -pedal parties, made up without
regard to the Exposition excursion, left on
schedule time, and wlU reach'St. Louis
early In the morning. The Exposition
trains are expected at Union Station
at about 7 o'clock, and. most of the dele
gates will proceed at once to the Fair
grounds. .
Secretary Stevens wired to-day that the
management had secured accommodations
for 1,000. delegates at the principal hotels,
and these will all be occupied until Sun
day probably.

mittee had organized. Colonel L. F. Par

REPUBLIC SrECIAI
Washington. Juno 3. "Timid, evasive
and straddling." are the terms with
which the prominent Democrats In Wash
ington characterize the Republican plat
form adopted at the National Convention
in Chicago to-day. The negro plank is
the only one which Democrats admit is
a straightforward one, and that has
aroused a storm of denunciation, especial
ly from Southern Democrats.
Chairman Cowherd of the Democratic
Congressional Committee said:
i "Heretofore the Republican party has
had a record for boldness. At Chicago It
established a record for timidity and
evasion. The platform la remarkable
mainly for what It does not say. The
labor situation Is as acute as at any time
in our history, yet there is no announce
ment In regard to It. There is no longer
war In the Philippines. Surely the coun
try Is entitled at last to know what is to
be the future policy as to thos Islands
the Philippine plank does not disclose It.
"Tho tariff plank Is an open straddle
to be used as a promise of reduction of
duties to tho voters and a pledge of their
maintenance to the manufacturers. Gov
ernor Cummins says: 'It Justifies the Iowa
Idea.' General Grosvenor says: 'It is a
stand-pat plank.' Chairman Payne says:
It leaves the question open.' It was ev
idently not Intended as a plank, but a
trap.
"The platform says: 'Our administration
of the great departments of the Govern
ment has been honest' This, in the face
of the notorious frauds discovered in the
Post-Offlce Department: the scandals In
the Land and Indian bureaus, which the
Secretary of the Interior Is concealing
with so much difficulty, and the forced
adjournment of Congress In order to pre
vent any investigation, must be taken
either as sarcasm of humor.
"The negro plank Is the only honest
plank In the platform It is Infamous. Mc

Mr. Folk will ba nominated for the gov

party sees fit to name him for the presi

Folk is, to my notion, very highly regard
ed by the big men of the party all over
the country, and It wouldn't surprise me
at all if he would be nominated If Parker
and Hearst should find themselves dead
locked. Neither has enough votes to win
and neither will concede a vote to the
other.
"My motion is that If Folk were named

likely beat him."

Ignorant and debased suffrage."
Representative Livingston of Georgia
said:
"A most serious question has been
aroused by the negro suffrage plank In
the Republican platform. It Is one which
I believe the Democrats will havo to meet
and which I think probably they will de
cide to moat at the St Louis convention.
While my State; has not taken up this
question as have some other States, I
know that the people of the South feel
that they have a right to act as they de
sire In the matter, and are not ready to
yield one particle.
"The issue is capable of being pushed to
the point where It will produce "the most
serious results. Of course, I have to be
very careful what I say In this connec
tion, but I would not deny the possibility
that the bitterness of feeling engendered
might make race riots more frequent.
"The people of the South have always
been afraid of Roosevelt lr this matter,
and now that his party has made a formal
declaration on the subject the condition
is grave. It Is too bad that this should
come at the time when the factional feel
ing, through the wise inluence of McKln
ley, had Just reached the point where It
was rapidly disappearing. If thia. question
is pushed the old Jlncs will surely be
plainly marked again, and the old bitter
ness arise."

retired for the night waB in a conference
with Judge Franklin Ferriss, General
Counsellor the World's Fair, and Wlllard
B. 8mlth,.D!rector of tho Transportation
building, who wanted him to change his
plans for the twenty-mils aerial trip for
which a noo.000 prize is offered.
According to present .plans, the aerial
navigator la to sail ten mllese and then
come back along the same course, making
but one turn. The Exposition authori
ties proposed that he Bhould make a tri
angular course, thus making two turns.
Bantos-Dumont opposed this plan, argu
ing that he would lose time by making an
additional turn.
The matter was not adjusted at the con
ference last night, and will be discussed at
another conference this morning.
Santos-Dumont was met at tho train by
W. F. WUllamson, manager of the Ham
ilton Hotel; John S. Blake, treasurer of
the Hamilton Howl, and Wlllard E. Smith,
Director of the Transportation building.
The party went to the Hamilton Hotel,
where the conference took place.
In the conference were Santos-Dumont
Mr. Smith, Judgs Franklin Ferriss and
Octave Chanute, a civil engineer and an
authority on aerial navigation.
Santos-Dumont was asked if he would
make his first trial trip on July 4. He con
sented to do so If the weather Is fa

Is five miles an hour or less. If the
weather is unfavorable, the airship wiU

Chicago, June 23. The swift sure cur
rent of public opinion, for the second
time in the history of Republican con
ventions, to-oay resulted in the selection
of a national ticket without a dissenting
vote. Theodora Roosevelt, for President,
and Charles W. Fairbanks, for Vice Presi
dent, received every vote in the conven
tion, r
Regardless of the fact that the nomina
tion of ono had been assured for months
and the other for days, the announcement
of the choice was accompanied by a re
sounding demonstration which attested
the candidates' universal popularity. The
cheering was led by figures known
through the breadth of tho land; and
echoed by a mighty throng of enthusi
astic men and radiant women assembled
in the Coliseum to witness the crowning
feature, as weU as the close of the Na
tional Convention that marks the semi
centennial of the Republican party In the
united states.
No less than 10,000 men and women
participated In the ratification of the
party programme, and the consequent roar
of cheering and handclapplng was deaf
ening. The band stationed high among
the girders of the hall was drowned by
the tumultuous unbounded demonstration.
Hats were tossed in the air. State em
blems were waved and flags, beautiful tri
colored shimmering silken flags, fluttered
from overy hand as though stirred by a
gale.

While the demonstration was at Its

NEW YORKERS' APATHY ADDS
BY A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.
Chicago, June 3. The thing has hap
pened. There has been no break in the
plan, no-ostompede, no pushing of slates.
The programme outlined weeks ago by s,
half dozen men, representing all of the
greatness and dignity of the Republican
party has gone before Its representatives
assembled, smothered and laughed con
tests Into the plans of the machine, of
fended several States, notably Wiscon
sin, Bilnols and Missouri In short, settled
things one way, regardless of what the
people of the party may have thought or
done, even to the extreme of permitting
a Southern negro to second Mr. Roose
velt's nomination.
There were cut and dried thlnn at
Bt Louis eight years ago, and mo.e of
the same, barring the vice presidency,
tour years later at Philedalphla.
But this Chicago convention sets a new
standard in gigantic machine manage
ment Mr. Cortojyou to-day became chair
man of tho National Committee, which
does not care for him. and. as settled,
wUI direct the campaign.
Mr. Roosevelt's nomination brought
forth a burst of cheers, suggested by the
really brilliant set speeches.
Mr. Fairbanks was named as planned,
ths States of Wisconsin and Missouri and
Colorado and Bilnols and Nebraska hav
ing not oven the opportunity of presenting
the names of favorite sons.
LIFE-LONG REPUBLICANS
ARE SHAKING THEIR HEADS'.
-.There are Jlfe-long Republicans in this
city to-night who are shaking their
heads over what has happened. When
they got to town Saturday, Sunday and
Monday they were Infesting the hotels
with an air of cock-sureness that told, as
plainly as words that the Republican
party was sure to succeed next Novem
ber. Some of these men had planks
placed In the platform, others were Inter
ested In contests that were at least en
titled to a hearing, and others had favor
ite sons to ba presented for the second
place on the ticket
Wisconsin is an extreme example of the
manner In which the contests i were de
cided. La Follette managers Insist that
not only did tl-ey not have n. respectful
hearing, but that their representatives
were actually insulted. La Follette men
make no secret of the feeling they bear to
the present leaders In tho national party,
and there is much talk that It amounts
to an opjn rebellion, that will probably
put the Wisconsin electoral vote in the
Democratic column next' fall.
The Indiana men came hers without
definite plans for the nomination of Fair
banks, but a command came out of some-
( where that It was desired to have a man
from Indiana, ana that tne man must
bo Fairbanks.
THE INDIANA ICICLE
1AS THE INEVITABLE.
It Is a fact that there was no organized
move for Fairbanks In bis own State dele
gation until Monday, when it began to
appear that the "drift" as definite di
rection by the machine was called, hod
set In toward the Indiana icicle, as some
Posey County humorist has named him.
Then a band was hired and half a. dozen
Indiana men marched along the hotel dis
trict of Michigan avenue, while the musi
cians played "On the Banks of the Wa
bash." Some evil band lost no time In circu
lating a rumor on Monday that Mr Hltt
was so ill that his death,,mlght be ex
pected, whereat there were fresh addi
tions to the ranks of the Fairbanks
"boom."
A Massachusetts Colonel, E. C. Benton
by name, undertook to Inaugurate a move
ment for Secretary Taft, but the speed
with which he was suppressed filled him.
with astonishment Walbridge, Sprlngor
and 'Webster tried to remain in the race
to the last and their States were loyal to
them so loyal that these three Republic
an camps ore not happy over the organ
ized Inside movement that magnified
HItt's Illness, built on artificial boom
for Fairbanks, and stuckpins Into their
own boomlets.
