EDWARD J. SALTER DEAD AF:
TER A LONG ILLNESS
AT HIS HOME ON N- 5TH
His Long and Useful Career Comes
to an End Entire Life Spent
Here.
Ed Salter is dead. This sentence
conveys sad tidings to many a house
hold in Richmond, where Mr. Salter
was known by almost every man,
woman and child in the community,
and by Avhom he was universally lov
ed and respected. After a siege of
suffering from a dropsical trouble,
the end came peacefully yesterday
as the quiet shadows of the afternoon
were passing into night.
The deceased was a familiar figure
in Richmond. He was of the type of
men that are fast passing away. He
was honest, industrious, kind and
affectionate. To do one a favor was
one of his greatest pleasures. He
seemed to take great delight in being
of service to others besides himself
and family, and many and many a
man in this city today feels deeply
obligated to the deceased for many
kindnesses rendered. He was socia
ble, and his cheery "good morning' '
whether it was morning or evening,
will be missed by hosts of people.
His services at the Odd Fellows' hall
were invaluable, and it will be a
long time before another Ed Salter
will be found to fill the places made
vacant by his death
Edward J. Salter was born in Phil-
adelpbia, Pa., December 11, 1S35. He
was the oldest son of Dr. James W.
Salter and Caroline L. Salter. In
1836 his parents moved to this city,
and the deceased has been a resident
here ever since. On March 4, 1858,
he was married to Sarah Parry Van
Sant. Two years after their mar-
riage Mr. and Mrs. Salter moved to
the home they now occupy. It was the ,
old homestead of his mother's family
and was known as the Wiggins' home.
Mr. Salter was a carpenter by (
trade but, owing to his weight, did
not follow it verv long. Back in
the fifties he was in the grocery bus
iness with Samuel Rowlett. He was
a member of No. 2 volunteer fire de
partment. He served as its secre
tary and during the war as president,
and continued in this capacity until jit is well to emphasize the hour 7:30

RESERVED
Tomorrow Morning at the Coliseum
A Word to Ticket Holders.
Those of our own citizens who have
not already secured their season tick-
ets and who want good seats tor the
May Music Festival should remember
two or three things. First of all, the
chorus and orchestra takes up so
much room that the visual seating ca-
paeity of the coliseum is reduced by
nearly five hundred, so the amount
of available room is not by any
means unlimited. Then the reports
from agents indicate that the attend-
anee from out of town will be even
larger than was anticipated,
Season tickets are cheaper than
single admissions for those who can
attend only two out of the three
concerts and give the holders two
days in advance for selection of
seats. The details of the plan adopt
ed for the reservation of seats has al
ready been published and will be
fully explained tomorrow morning.

THE REPUBLICAN CAL1PAIGH
KEY NOTE IS SOUNDED TODAY
ACHIEVEMENTS AND FAILURES OF POLITICAL PARTIES MOST
ELOQUENTLY PRESENTED BY
The Honorable James E. Cllatson
. , " v :
Permanent Chairman of the Greatest Republican State Convention Ever
' ..',V'
Held In Indiana. ':
HON. JAES E. WATSON.
(Special to the Palladium.)
Indianapolis, Ind. April 26. The
Republican state convention met to-,
day. It will complete its work tomor
row. Delegates at large to the Chicago
convention are: Senators Fairbanks
and Beveridge, Governor Durbin and
State Chairman Goodrich.
Alternate Delegates H. C. Starr,
of Wayne county; Erasfus F. Mc
Clure, Howard Maxwell, of Rush, and
W. P. Adams, of Portland.'
The convention instructed for
Roosevelt. At Senator Fairbank's re
quest the convention did not indorse
him for vice-president. The electors
at large agreed upon are George A.
Cunningham, Evansville, and Joseph
D. Oliver. . .
The sixth district members of the !
organization are:
On Rules Will Cumback, Decatur.
Credentials Fred J. Ferris, Laf
ayette. Resolutions H. C. Starr, Rich
mond. Vice President Joshua Davis,
Union County.
Assistant Secretary Walter Ran
dall, Shelbv.
The convention is one of the, larg
est in the history of Republican con
ventions in Indiana, and also one of
the most harmonious.
The meeting was called to order by
State Chairman Goodrich.
Hon. James E. Watson who was
made permanent chairman of the
convention, spoke as follows:
We are on the event of a great po
litical struggle. Vital issues are at
stake, stupendous interests are involv
ed, the country will be thoroughly
aroused and wre shall be expected to
prove our right to win. When each
party presents itself to the electorate
and. seeks support the questions that
will naturally arise in the mind of
each intelligent voter are: Upon
what do you base your claims? WhaT
have you done to deserve recognition ?
What have you achieved to merit
success? For answer to these ques
tions the Republican party gladly ap
peals to the past and challenges the
Democracv to meet it on that issue.
And that is the only rational way in
which this momentous problem can
be solved; for, "by their fruits ye
shall know them." The Biblican
standard of merit applies with equal
force to parties and to men. An or
ganization, like and individual, must
either stand or fall by its record. The
only just way of judging the future
of a party is by its past. The only
real .way to tell what a party will do
is tr.see what that party has done.
Promises for the future amount to
nothing unless promises in the past
have been, redeemed, unless they are
backed up by a record of faithful
performance. And how proud we are
to meet this test. . . .;
The Republican Party Proud of Its
Achievements, .; -; -.ft!
Standing amidst its :nnparalleJdr
achievements of a half century the
Republican party triumphantly sur
veys the past and courageously 'faces
the future. Upon its waving1 banners
are inscribed the most splendid victo
ries of civilization and there are
also recorded there resolutions of her
roic. endeavor and high emprise. The
brightest pages of human history
were written by the hands of its vo
taries, and we find full inspiration for
the conflicts of the future by a review
of its marvelous past. Therefore, we
this day triumphantly, aye, defiantly
invoke the truth of history, knowing
full well what the inevitable answer
will be. ; . ;
Gentlemen, a governmental policy
cannot do everything that needs must
be done to make a country great, but
it can do much. It can do much to
develop its natural resources, to di
versify its industries, to stimulate ge
nius, to give profitable investment to
capital, to fully and remuneratively
employ labor, to more equally dis
tribute the fruits of toil, to fix the
standard of citizenship, to more gen
erally disseminate happiness among
the people, to incorporate the highest
ideals in its institutions and embody
the dearest principles in its laws.
These things this party, of ours has
ever done. While it may not be re
sponsible for all the marvelous achi
evements of the last four and f orty
years, 'achievements that challenge
historical parallel, yet it is neverthe
less true that all that progress has
occurred under the beneficial opera
tion of its policies and the fearless
application of its principles to gov-
' eminent.
I The onlv time that tri nmnlinl nrn-
cession down the years has been sus
pended was Avhen the operations of
those policies were temporarily inter
fered with, and an indifferent people
intrusted the machinery of govern
ment to the nerveless and incompe
tent hands of a helpless Democracy.
And every presidential campaign
we are' compelled to temporarily ab
andon this great work of commercial
conquest - and industrial achievement
and overcome the Democratic party,
in order that we may continue unin
terruptedly this work of progress and
patriotism for the next four years.
And that is the great enterprise upon
which we are embarking here today.
And, gentemen, it may be remarked
at the outset, as a reason for the uni
form success of its policies, that the
Republican party has always had the
courage to do right, the courage of a
sublime conviction, the courage to in
corporate the highest ideals in its
platforms and apply the loftiest prin
ciples in its laws.
When the reins of government were
grasped by the kindly and patient
hand of Abraham Lincoln, it was the
spirit of justice that inspired him to
heroic action. Then in the shadow of
our flag, there were 4,000,000 of our
fellow-men in chains, 4,000,000 of hu
man beings with manacles upon their
minds and with fetters upon their
feet, and they cried out for freedom.
The Republican party heard the
piercing cry and had the moral cour
age to face that awful problem. Upon
a thousand gory fields of strife, slav
ery was shot to death by the million
guns of the Union, and that question
was forever settled in our land. The
flag went down at Summer, but it rose
again at Appomattox, uplifting in its
rise a race from bondage and a nation
to triumphant hope.
It was also believed by a hostile
party that this nation was but a loose
confederacy, a rope of sand, that it
might be dissolved at the pleasure of
any one of its members, and that
neither the Constitution nor the laws
had. any binding force upon any State
that did not willingly consent to obey
thenu: The Republican party heroic-
ally met and i ' solved that problem,'
State- sovereignty a -piered to
death by a million bayonets of the
Republic,' and that question, too, was
