The March King and his band were
greeted with ono of the largest audiences
Sousa ever had in indianapolis at Tomlinson
Hall last night and with the numerous en-
cores called for in addition to the regular
programme the concert lasted until nearly
IL o'clock. One feature of the evening was
the playing Of Sousa's new and stirring
march. "'rhe Stars and Stripes. Forever,

manner by De Wolf Hopper at every per-
Torrance of lei Captain. unsteady the
new march is no better than some of the
other good American Sousa pieces. 1t seeks
to typify the spirit of the stars and stripes
with a military abandon, headlong rush
of musical sentiment, Il charge, a shout and
a victory effect that gives the brilliant au-
thor the right to name II in honor Of the
national flag. IL comes as near being the
United States flag set to music as any
thing Sousa has done, perhaps. but does not
strike one as being his best composition nor
as popular as some others.

the next speaker to address the conven- ton. He did so for the purpose of plac- Ing the name of Edward I. Sheehan in nomination for the office of Tax Coilec- tor. He said:
 MT. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention: Probably the most import ant position of any place is the man who handles the dough. Oaughter) In this city the Tax Collector is the means whereby the oil which makes the machin- cry work Is secured. Such man must be able to fill the position because of his capacity as business man. because of his accuracy as bookkeeper, and be- cause of his integrity as an honest citi- zen. We have nominated a ticket which will soon be elected, taking representa- tives from every branch or the civil life that we represent. We have lawyers, bankers, merchants and workingmen, and now I wish to present to you one of the residents of the lower Mission, man who has worked himself up from the shoemaker's bench. I name Edward I. Sheehan for Tax Collector Applause and cheers.)
 There being no other nominations for the position MT. Sheehan was declared the nominee of the convention by accla- nation. He was escorted to the platform and spoke as follows:
 "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the conventions: I return you my hearty thanks for this compliment. I indorse your platform, and if elected to the posi- ton of Tax Collector I will carry out the duties of that office in a way that will re- fleet credit on the Republican party" (Applause.)
 On motion of J. M. Chretien the con- vention adjourned to meet at Odd Eel lows Hall this evening at 8 o'clock.

 could be considered as equivalent to an election. He said
 MT. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention: My native modesty would not have allowed me to appear before you this evening if it had not been requested Of me that should nominate a man from the Mission for an office, and as I live at the Mission I never go back on man who lives at the Mission. (Applause.) And particularly when he lives in the warm belt. The office of District Attor- ney, in my opinion, stands first in the municipal government. There is no ques- ton whatever that so far as the welfare of this great city is concerned that office should be filled by a man who possesses a fiber of steel and brain as quick as rapid-fire gun. We have been looking for a man of that quality and have found many. I read the other day that the cen tral principle of all municipal govern ments was to place in office men who have been tried and found to be true. The one have the honor to place in nomina- ton is such man. It was in 1853 he came to California. In 1870 the people of this city made him District Attorney. That they were satisfied with his labors was shown at the next election when they elected him again, because the people

The platform, which Is an expression of the principles represented by the party's candidates for office, was adopted by the Republican Municipal Convention last evening. The document is a strong one. and is in keeping with the great care that Is being exercised in the selection of men to whom will be intrustea the work of carrying out Its provisions.
 The work of making nominations was also continued from the point where the convention left off Wednesday evening. The business went forward smoothly and rapidly, and nothing occurred to mar the harmony that has marked the work of the convention since its initial session. The Legislative, judicial and educational convention completed its labors. and it IS now believed that at to-night's session the entlre municipal ticket will have been completed.
 The nominations made by the nun,cipal convention last night were William A. Deane for County Clerk Henry Marlin for Sheriff, Martin F. Fraglev for Su- perintendent of Streets, D. J. Murnbv for District Attorney, and Edward Shee- han for Tax Collector. The Selection of each name was the signal for much an- plause and many cheers, as each one of the candidates is well known and popular All appeared before the convention ana thanked the assembled delegates for tbe honor that had been bestowed upon them They each indorsed the platform, and briefly promised, if elected, to carry out its provision in the spirit as well as in the letter.
 Following the calling of the convention to order by Chairman Allen, J. M. Chre- tien, chairman of the committee on plat form and resolutions, announced that the committee was ready to present it's re- port. The platform, which is printed in full in another column of this paper, is of considerable length and was read by

 The gentleman after he had served four years as District Attorney was pro- noted to the bench. During six years the white light of the public press was thrown upon him. They could find noth- ing against him. He was reelected to serve six years more. He has. had the distinction of trying the most important criminal case in the annals of this coun- try, and it may, be said to his credit that when the voluminous transcript had been made and filed in the Supreme Court, the Judges of that distinguished body were unable to find one mistake that had been made by the Judge. You know who he is. His name is D. J. Murphy. (Tremen.. dous applause.) I present him to you for the office of District Attorney, He needs nothing further than merely to name him. l want to simply say this: That all sorts of fights will be made against him, but I don't consider that there will be a Democrat in the Mission that will not vote for him. They know him, and they say he is the man for that place."
 There being no other candidate for the nomination, Judge Murphy was made the nominee of the convention by acclama- ton. He was escorted to the platform, and spoke as follows:
 MT. Chairman and gentlemen of the conventions: would be devoid of feeling and have a cold heart if I did not feel grateful for your kindness to me to- night. There are many gentlemen here in this convention whom l have known uffh xuh I ho, had personal and social relations. There are present before me my neighbors with whom and beside whom I have lived for years, and to receive this kind treatment at your hands and at their hands I must say causes a grateful emotion in my heart.
 The position to which you have nomi- mated me Is one of the most important in this city and county I am not a novice as to the duties of that office As you have been informed I have had the honor of filling it for three full terms. It has great responsibilities connected with it and the man who assumes the office must assume the responsibilities. He must be kind and firm: know no class and no caste; recognize the poor man and treat him the same as the richest and proudest in the land. Great applause) And such, gentlemen. vii po eHc tISdtHieut ol any ana all the citizens of this city should I be elected to this office Your platform I have heard and indorse in its entirety. have been Republican for many years. II believe the prosperity of the country ia due to the enforcement of the principles of the Republican party. And I believe that Gage and Nefr and the entire State ticket and this ticket you have nomi- mated must of necessity, if the citizens of this State understand their duties and perform them, be triumphantly elected.
 Now, without desiring to take LID your further time, can return you my sim cere thanks. and If elected will perform my duties as completely, as truthfully and as honestly as 1t is within my power to do." (Applause.) Ex-Assemblyman Frank H. Powers was

 nominating me for the offics' ~ 1srrs'sln. If the people will elect me-if elected by the people, I will discharge the duties of that high and important office to the best | of my ability. I thank you again, gentle men, sincerely" (Applause.)
 | The next order of business was the se- l lection of candidate for the office of Superintendent of Streets. Judge J. c. Daly placed Martin F. Fragley in nomi- nation. He said:
 MT. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention: There Is nothing that shows more clearly the character of a city to strangers than its streets and parks, and nothing is so critically judged by such visitors. In our platform we have pledged our candidates to aid in the progress of this city. Great stress has been placed on the improvement of our streets and highways low, gentlemen, for the of fee of Superintendent of Streets I have in view a representative of the Republi- can party man who will support -.,e platform, man who will not sit In his office, but will go out on the highways and see that the streets are built and that the contracts are carried out, and to per- form that duty he must have experience He must know street when it is fin- ished.
 Taking that view, gentlemen, I am going to present the name of 9 man who Is in every way qualified to fill the office of Superintendent of Streets. He is man whose name has never been brought in question. He Is not stranger in San Francisco. Although not having held an elective office, he has won the admiration and confidence of the men who employed him and those with whom he dealt. He has held office as Superintendent of the House of Correction (applause), and when he accepted that office he found that the institution was s5000 in debt by reason of the administration of his predecessor. But out of the appropriation he paid off the debt by the introduction of economic measures. By the introduction of disci- pline he brought about numerous i'm provements After faithful administra- tion he was able to leave 5000 m the treasury.
 Now, gentlemen, there is no office more important, and ask you to nominate this gentleman because he will execute the duties of this office so that 1t will be a credit to the city. Four years to come the people will look back to the admins tration of Martin F. Fragley. Applause and cheers) see you are going to nom- mate him and his election will follow as natural consequence" (Applause)
 The nomination was seconded by Ruef. There being no further nomina- tons the secretary was instructed to cast the ballot for MT. Fragley. He was es- corted to the platform and said:
 MT. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention: indorse your platform heartily and if elected to the position of Superintendent of Streets I guarantee to do my duty faithfully" (Applause)
 Nominations for candidate for District Attorney were next in order and A. P Van Duzer named ex-Superior Judge D. I. Murphy for the position. He paid a glow ing tribute to Judge Murphy's record as a public officer and declared that his nom ination at the hands of the convention
