DELEGATES to the Convention.

A majority of the delegates sitting in
the Republican State convention will, az
in the past, have been appointed by the
Central committees Of the different
counties There is nothing unusual in
this manner of forming delegations; in
fact, it is so we'll known that but for
carping criticism of the Hamilton county
committee for similar action the matter
would not be referred to. An incomplete
test of the action of the various county
committees in deciding upon the man.
ner in which delegates shall be chosen
shows that the following counties have
adopted the manner chosen in Hamil-
ton county: Adams, Allen, Athens, But.
Ter, Belmont, Columbiana, Darke, Frank.
lin, Cuyahoga, Hooking, Monroe, Perry,
Ross, scioto and Washington. Many
others will have been added to this list
before the convention shall have a..
sembled, a. in great number of coun-
ties the Central committees have not
decided upon the manner Of choosing
the delegates.
In this fact lies the strongest refuta-
ton of the only argument used to justify
the sending Of q contesting delegation
from Hamilton county. Surely . ma
jority of the counties Of the State would
not adopt such q method Of selecting
delegates if it were improper or Illegal ?
Every convention ever held BY the Re
publican party has contained delegations
from the various counties selected by
the Central committees Of those coun.
ties. The resolutions of the conventions
of 1895 expressed the wishes Of that
body, but was not binding upon the tut.
ure conventions, for the power OF that
body ended upon its adj ,urnment sine
die. The platform Of the convention
was its individual work, and II the sue
ceeding convention had seen fit to adopt
one upon different lines it would have
been within its power to do 80. The
same rule as to platform holds good OF
all other resolutions adopted by any con-
vention. As an evidence Of this fact, it
can be stated that the two State conven-
tions held since 1896 there have been
delegations which were:selected by the
Central committees of the various coun.
ties, Just as there will be in the conven-
ton to be held in June. No later than
last year the Hamilton county delegs.
to the State convention was selected by
the Central committee, and no protest
was made.
Sooner or later the real purposes
which are masked behind the attempt
to disrupt the Republican party will be-
come public, and the:men;who are using
their subservient creatures a. tools "a

be brought into the light of day.-Oin'

Married After Many Years.

A romance, which began some fifty
years ago came to a climax recently
when Miss Ella Cable became the wife
of James Ketchum, at Matteawan, N.
Y. The couple were schoolmates, and
as they developed into manhood and
womanhood they became almost in
separable. Some petty quarrel arose,
and the Friendship was broken. Ket-
chum left Duchess county, and word
came that he had chosen wife in a
far off state. Ella Cable developed
into a handsome woman, still she
never married. She lived at Glenham
with her mother. She is now well to-
ward go years of age. During her spare
moments she has paid visits to the
General hospital, where she has read to
and otherwise comforted the patients.
Last winter a man was brought to the

been warm friends. OF course they
have differed in opinion as to matters
of party or administration policy, or
at least as to the details Of such pol
icies, but there is good authority for
the statement that there has never
been falling out in consequence
thereof.
Socially a charming intimacy exists
between these two men. Politically
each has full faith in the other. Dur
ing Mr.. McKinley's visit at Mr.. Ho-
bart's summer home in the latter part
OF August, the formers unaffected
showing of warm personal regard for
the latter left a delightful impression
upon the minds of all who observed
it. A gentleman who was the guest
of the vice-president during the time
of the presidents visit says Il believe

best. There was no lack of dignity
on the part of either, yet to me there
was little suggestion Of the politician
or statesman. For the time being they

On several occasions President Nc
Kinley and Vice-President Hobart
have sat together for their portraits,
which is something unusual if you
stop to think of it. 1t has long been
a custom for presidents and their cab
inets to be photographed in groups
but as rule the president has seemed
to fight shy of sitting before the cam
era with the vice-president.
The picture shown herewith was
taken at Mr.. Hobart's summer villa
in August. The portraits of the presi-
dent and vice-president are their

INDUCED In After Wedding to Enter

Chicago Record. Lately at a promi-
nent wedding at Stamford, Conn, the
breakfast was served on the lawn, un-
der the trees and by the lake. The
bride, just before leaving the guests
and still in her shimmering white
gown, was surrounded by her brides
maids. BY one of them she was blind
folded. and they then danced around
in a ring as she threw her bouquet.
Within its center was hidden a ring,
and the girl that caught the flowers
was said to be predestined by fate to
be the next bride. The custom is a
German one, but loses nothing by
crossing the great sea, and is unusual
ly pretty when. practiced amid such
gay surroundings. Many brides now
choose to drive off with the groom for
their honeymoon in small, open trap
drawn by some pet horse of their own
instead of shutting themselves up In
the formidable coach of not so very
long ago. Surely this Is starting life's
journey more pleasantly. One gay
young bride was recently heard to say

According to Geographic reports
from Austin, Tex, at no time In It's
history has Texas ever had so many
drouths as during the past summer
and this fall. Every section OF the
state from the Panhandle to the gulf
has been visited by drouth. The
outlook in most of the larger cities OF
central Texas is anything but promis-
ing. Dallas, Fort Worth, Waco, Aus
tin and one or two other larger cities
of the state are at present in the throes
,of water famine. From points along
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad
from the Indian Territory down to
