Marketing the Products,

The report contains extended studies
regarding grease ard tankage as market
able products, the general conclusions
seeming to be that there will be good de-
mand for the grease, and that the sankage
can best be disposed OF as such. that is.
IT would be better to sell the tankase to
manufacturers OF fertilizers than to at.
tempt TO make a finished product, ready
Tor market. The reason for the latter con-
ciusion is that the fertilizer trade seems
to be In a somewhat unstable condition.
that when sold direct to farmers long
credits must be given; that fertilizer manu-
1acturers might combine against a con-
tractor who attempted to sell finished fer
uiiZers from large garbage plant like
one Quilt for New York, but would well
come tankage for use as a fertilizer filler.
emation is not taken up at length in
the report, utilization evidently being con-
s'dered the most promising field of In.
vestigation. For towns and small cities,
the report states, cremation is the best
means Of garbage disposal.

The Republican National Convention

ingly well, both in regard to platform
and candidates.
Yesterday at $40 p. m. the first bal
lot for president was declared and was
as follows: Allison, 35 1-2; Morton,
55; Quay, 81 1-2; Reed, 83 1-2; Nc
Kinley, Gel 1.2, and the great champion
of protection was declared the nom
inee, and it was made unanimous with
tremendous enthusiasm, thousands of
spectators joining in singing "Rally
Round the Flag" and other patriotic
songs, making it a scene never to be
forgotten.
The concluding business was imme-
diately undertaken, that of putting in
nomination a candidate for vlce.pres-
ident with this result:
Hon. Garret A. Hobart of New Jer.
sey received 523 1-2 votes, his nearest
competitor was Henry Clay Evans of
Tennessee who had 2S1 votes, the re-

for the ticket an enthusiastic support
