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. .

"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.

"I am making no secret of the fact that 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.

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.

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 vorablethat Is, if the velocity of the wind Is five miles an hour or less. If the weather is unfavorable, the airship wiU be Inflated and placed on exhibition on t,he aeronautic concourse at the Fair grounds. Board's Reception.'

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. Wheh Governor Black of New York made his speech nominating President Roosevelt to succeed himself as Presi dent the delegates in the Republican Con vention proved there is no absence of en thusiasm in their ranks when occasion Justified exhibition of that quality.

While the demonstration was at Its height Chairman Cannon stepped to the front of the stage. He held In his hand tho banner which was waved In 1B60 when Lincoln was nominated, and which has been used in every convention since. The flag showed the wear and tear of many similar contests.

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.

PERVADING GLOOM EPITOME 09 CONVENTION NEWS Roosevelt and Fairbanks are chosen, as tha Republican nominees. On the floor of the convention there was no Bhow of opposition to either of them. A great demonstation followed tho mention of tha President's name In the nominating speech, of Frank Blade of New York, and tho delegates, led by Chairman Cannon, went after the long-distance cheering record. One of the men to second Roosevelt's nomination was Harry S. Cummings, a, negro from Maryland. Tho programme of the party leaden was carried out to the dot and there was not a slip in the elaborate machinery of the firm, dictators. There is dissatisfac tion among tariff revisionists, among dele gates from States which hod favorite sons to present and among members of ths 'National Committee, who had Secretary Cortelyou forced upon them for chair man. 1 Immediately after the' adjournment of the convention the new National Commit tee organized and elected George B. Cor telyou chairman without a dissenting vote. The new chairman asked for the ad vice of the members, but announced that i he would take dictation from, no one, high or low. President Roosevelt was sitting with his wife and his cousin on the Southern veranda of tho White House when Secretary- Loeb brought him the news of his nomination- He received the congratula tions of his family and relatives, and then went to his executive offices, where he spent tlje afternoon transacting routine business. More than 1.000 delegates and alternates and many newspaper men deported at 9 o'clock on special trains to St Louli. They wfll spend to-day and to-morrow here, tho guests of the Exposition officials, and will see the World's Fair and tho World's Fair Handicap. Illinois Republicans refuse to let na tlonal events overshadow their local troubles, and tha delegates at Chicago spent most of the time fixing slates and combines to be of service to them In ths coming campaigns of their State. The nominating speeches of former Got ernor Black- of New York, who ptaeert Roosevelt's name before the conTeaMse, and of Senator Dolllver of Iowa, who In troduced Fairhanks's candidacy to the del egates, wero most heartily received. toward Roosevelt adds to til density of this new Republican gloom.-" State that Is always high in tha councils, nolsest with its band and marching dubs, most effective In tha conference, has been all but off ths map. OdeU and his friends, and other New Yorkers, havo not been, seen, nor have they been heard from ex cept through Black's set speech. They tried to bo human, and feuiven the ses sion by on adjournment yesterday, but the machine choked them off in a minute by tha watch. Their enthusiasm for tha ticket may b likened to anything that cannot be seen, beard or felt TARIFF REVISIONISTS WILIj ALL BE.KSCLINED TO SULK.
