WANT BABCOCK TO REMAIN.
Republican Congressional Campaign
Committee Need ii i'm as Chairman.

The executive committee OF the Repub-
ncan Congressional campaign committee,
at their meeting last night, audited the ac-
counts of the last campaign, and found a
comfortable balance remaining, an unusual
circumstance.
, Tie question of retaining permanent
Headquarters was discussed, and it was
felt that while these were not needed at
present it would be well to open head
quarters next summer, after the new
committee is selected. in anticipation OF
the I ext Congressional election.
There is a disinclinatiOn on the part OF
the executive committee TO permit Mr..
Babcock OF Wisconsin to retire from the
Craftsmanship if he shall continue as
member of the committee, and an effort
will be made to retain him n his present
position, owing to the excellent record
made by him during the last two cam
paigns.
While there was nothing in the informal
talk upon the subject which indicated the
slightest friction between the Congressional
and the national committees, il was felt
that the Iatters work will be largely edu-
cational in character. and that the Con
gressional committee should continue, as
formerly the labor of securing the election
OF Representatives in several States.

zine Champion at Hand.
If YOU allow the present happy juncture
to pass, all the heroic work or ~ years
will be thrown to the winds. Our guiding
hand will disappear in the momehtouS
conflict just when it should be stretched
forth to steady the ark of our covenant.
We would prove to the world that we are
devoid of capacity to grasp the great OPP
portun.ties and lacking in strength to
grapple with prodigious emergencies. The
people have a gallant champion in the
field, who is leading a revolt against the
plutOcracy of Chrstendom. Every OPP
pressor, every plutocrat in two hem1s-
pheres, has turned his guns upon him.
The suds died organs have openly pro
claimed that he must be crushed by any
means at whatever cost. The COnfeder-
ated mOnopolies have lain aside their par
ties and their politics and are marching
in hot haste against him. Let us signal

ing-and then hasten to his relief. Gen

not prevent the people from rushing to
the support of their recognized defender
and leader If you will not say the word
they will break over all restraint and go

may God bless them for so doing.
Therefore, in obedience to my highest
regard to duty, with solemn conviction

membered, has already been three times

The Vote Began.
The roll call went on to the end, Chair
man Allen still declining to permit the
announcement. On Aliens refusal Gov
ernor Stone retired from the platform,
followed by Patterson and several others.
While Washington was being polled, Ig-

nounced that he understood Bryan had
sent a telegram to the convention declin-

He then announced the official vote as

finally massed about their standards on
the left of the hall and made a counter
demonstration. They cheered and yelled

The sergeant-at-arms was powerless, and
after rapping for order for five minutes
the chairman declared Bryan the nomi-
