THE EVIL AND The REMEDY.-The
late Henry Ward Beecher said he
would as soon have load of hay dump
ed into his parlor on Sunday as to have
the contents of a secular newspaper
dumped into his mind before going to
church; and Joseph Cook very proper
ly argues that Sunday newspapers lead
on other violators of the Sabbath-day,
venders of liquor included. They re-
quire Sunday work; they propagate
low tastes and often evil opinions
they secularize the Sabbath, the right
use of which for rest and worship is
essential to the sanity of civilization.
They obstruct the moral and religious
eduation of the people, and have no
good reason for existence. They ought
to be starved out. Their tendency is
evil, only evil, and that continually.
Their projectors will never voluntarily
cease to issue them unless the public
withholds its patronage. Their founda-
ton is in the money they earn. No
profit, no paper. So long as there is
money in them morals will not be
considered. When men reach this
point in business greed society should
call their attention to its demands in
the most practical way.

MIR. Denny, of Kentucky moved that
Mr. Morton's nomination be made unan-
imous Senator Sewell, Of New Jersey,
seconded the motion and promised the
full and hearty support of Mr. Phelps to
the ticket. The motion was agreed to,
and the chair declared that Morton was
the nominee of the convention for vice
president.
On motion of Gen. Hustled, of New
York, the national committee was di-
rected TO provide in its call four years
hence that the territory of Alaska shall
have two delegates in the convention.
Mr.. Boutelle, of Maine, then rose and
said that in behalf of large number of
delegates he desired to move to suspend
the rules and adopt resolution to be
be added to the Republican platform.
Mr.. Oliver, of Pennsylvania, arose to the
punt of order that it was not in order to
offer resolution at this time. The
chairman stated that Mr. Boutelle's
motion was to suspend the rules, which
would require to be seconded by two
states. and could only be agreed to by a
two-thi.d's vote. Mr.. Boutelle proceeded
to read the resolution as follows:
The first concern of all good govern
ment is the virtue and sobriety of the
people and the purity of their homes,
The Republican party cordially sympa-
thizes with all wise and well directed
efforts for the promotion of temperance
and morality.
There was a rush from the various
states to second the motion, and after
some time the. question was put and the
resolution adopted bya rising vote, only
one delegate from Maryland being brave
enough to record himself in the negative.
A vote of thanks was then rendered to
the chairman and other members of the
convention and then, on motion Of Mr..
Hiscock, the convention, at S:52, ad-
journed without day.

History is repeating itself. In 1910
tie issue was distinctly upon the tariff
question, and there has not since until
the present time been another campaign

ticket was then Harrison and Tyler.
This year it is Harrison and Morton.

The Ev-N.l.e SESSION.

CHICAGO, June 28.-That the interest
In the convention had almost entirely
died away with tie presidential nomina-
ton to-day was manifested this evening
by the array of empty seats in the gal
leries, which previously have presented
an attractive picture Of handsome toilets
and kaleidoscope colcrs. The ne pbers
of the various delegations were early in
their places, evidently anxious to tom-
plete their business and return 10 their
respective homes.
The convention reassemhled at ten min
utes past six and proceeded to the rcgu-
lar order, the presentation Of names for
the vice presidential nomi Gaf;on.

A Grand Stampede for the Indiana
Candidate.
CHICAGO, June 25, 2 p. NAT the be-
ginning of the eighth ballot, Henderson,
of Iowa, created sensation by with
drawing Allison. Henderson spoke
briefly and to the point, and said he
thanked friends of Allison for their sup
port, and with his authority withdrew
his name. 1t at once became rumored
that Allison's strength would go to Har-
rison.
Sherman assurances received soon
after the withdrawal of Allison that his
vote would
GO TO HARRISON
took the last hope from the friends
of Sherman. Quay finding the
game up told his friends
to get in line. There was no longer any
doubt of the result and the calling of the
roll became mere formality. Harri-
son was nominated after Tennessee vot-
ed, giving him 431. Only single vote
stood by Sherman in Pennsylvania, and
after that state voted, the Harrison
movement became landslide. The re-
suit was received with
GREAT BURST OF APPLAUSE.
The great audience arose to its feet
and shouted until one of the officers
of the convention climbed on the chair
mans desk and waved portrait of
Harrison. The ladies in the gallery
waved handkerchiefs, parasols, and hats
we're thrown up and scene ofwild con
fusion followed. Finally, with three
cheers for Harrison the convention be-
came quiet enough to hear the official
announcement.
FORAKER TOOK THE PLATFORM
and said: Gentlemen ofthe convention,
the delegation from Ohio came here all
Sherman men; they are now all Harri-
son men. 1t easier for us to be 30
when we remember that Harrison had
the good sense to be born in Ohio.
[Laughter.l am directed by the unan-
Imous vote of Ohio to move OIL behalf of
Ohio that the nomination be made
unanimous" [Applause.]
Horr, of Michigan, seconded the mo-
ton on behalf of Michigan. Foraker's
motion was carried with whoop.

A FEW MORE WORDS.

We understand several members of
the council profess to believe that the
present opposition to building pump
ing station at Washington st. has been
started by interested parties who there
by hope to delay the erection of pump
ing plant this season and thus compel
the city to renew its contract with Hub
bard & Co. So far as the FREE PRESS is
concerned its only INTEREST," in the matter
is that the city be speedily provided
with a water works system which will
furnish pure water and an abundance
of it for domestic uses and fire protec-
ton. 1t is this feeling and nothing else,
we believe, that prompted Mr.. j. A.
Willard and other prominent gentle
men to enter into public protest
against the supposed project of the wa
ter committee to make the Minnesota
river at Washington street the source of
supply. So far as we have been able to
learn it is not the project to put the
pumping station there that provokes OPP
position, any more than that the people
have the idea that such q move would
mean that the water was to come from
the river. If the committee will take
the water from the Blue Earth river, it
makes little difference to most people
where the pumps are located.
five are to have water works we
want them to be supported by the peo-
pie. People viA not pay for Minnesota
river water, and the plan of filtering 1t
through well will not remove the pre-
JUDGES which exist. As 10 the city well,
there is difference of opinion as to the
quality of that water, but the fact that
the supply is uncertain makes the pro-
ject unfeasible. That the well is liable
to give out or fill up with sand has been
shown by past experience, and in such
case 1t would be necessary to fall back
on the river, and as before stated tho
people are 80 opposed to that water that
any attempt to force it upon them would
result in the cutting off of the patronage
which which the water works must have
to make the system pay for itself as it
should.
In view of these things why consider
any other project than to 90 where there
is water that the people have confidence
in and will use? There may be some
who will contend that the Blue Earth
river water is not pure. But it has stood
the test of analysis and the people have
confidence in it; there is an abundance
of it and by altering it through drive
wells it could be made clear and whole.
some. The city has property upon which
to build Its plant, and the cost of bring
ing the water to the city mains can be
kept within the limit Of the funds now
at hand.
Such start would be one in the right
direction and would be the inception Of
of system which in few years would
receive the cordial support of the peo-
pie. The mains could be extended to
all parts of tho city, and as occasion re-
quired additional pumping apparatus
secured.
The members of the water committee
should be careful that while accusing 9TH
er people of having personal motives in
this matter. they themselves are
entirely moved by q desire to do the
thing which will be the best for all con-
cerned. Ifthey do 30, the course to
pursue seems to be clear.

 In the superior court in Bridgeport yes terday was resumed the case of William Mead against David s. Heusted. Both parties hail from Greenwich. The action is the celebrated "barn burning case" which has been in court for nearly ten years and it looks now as though ten years more would elapse before final decision is reached The case has had four trials already-three before jury and once by the court Since the suit was begun in 1879 both sides have had their innings and winnings. Both plaintiffs and defendants have got verdicts in their favor, the last one being for the plaintiff, Mead, for over $6,000.

 There are some good people in the com pany that presented the romantic drama "Queen of the Plains" at the opera house last night but Miss Kate Purssell, who ap- peared in the title role, cannot be classed among them. She may, however, improve and come up to the requirements of the character, but she is far from it now. The piece has an element of success in it but are some good specialties introduced but Harry Crandle should remember that he is not playing the grocer in "Peck's Bad Boy" J. M. Edwards, J. w. Ransone and Al Richards contributed much to make up for the weaker members of the company. The play was given without the horse, the animal procured from Partree & Parker's stable being too fractious W hen the firing of the pistols began.

She was ably assisted by other members of the choir all of whom were untiring in their efforts to contribute to the affair. Miss Feron deserves credit for valueble services at the piano and lost of others come in for a goodly share of praise The audience was not large last evening but the programme rendered was excellent in every way Master Willie Bergin contributed solo on the cornet and was compelled to respond to an encore Prof Cones violin solo was brilliant per formance and he was recalled. The duets and quartette sang with pleasing effect and the chorus elicited we'll merited applause.
