The representatives of the Republi-
can party in convention assembled
unanimously and spontaneously select
ed you as the candidate for the party
at the next election for the high and
dignified office of Vice President of the
United States. You We're selected and
named through no wish of your own
but because the convention believed
that you, among all the Republicans
in the land We're best fitted and adapt
ed to be the associate of our President
in the important and stirring campaign
upon which we are entering The
convention realized that you were
needed in the great Empire State.

whose people would delight still further
to honor you. but it believed that your

iieiu Va i!Abiclldi
You are still young man. as years
are counted: but the country knows
more of you than of most of its citi-
zens. You We're identified. and will
ever be associated with those efforts
toward reform in the civil service
which command the approval of intel
ligent men of all political parties
Your stirring love of adventure has
made you more familiar figure in
Western camps and on Western plains
than on the avenues of your native
city. Your sterling Americanism has
led you to the mastery OF our earlier
history and you have told us of the
winning of the West with a charm
and a spirit that have made us all bet
ter lovers of our country: while your
tales of the Western hunting and ad-
venture have filled the breast of every
lad in the land with envy and emula-

existed in the past. now that you are
our candidate. they will be believed to
be true by every good Republican.
There is no man whose privilege it
was to know you and to associate with
you while you We're the assistant sec

Mckinleys appointment. who is not
eager to testify to the great ability and
fidelity which characterized your in

OF your services to our country dur
ing the late war with Spain. it is not
necessary for me to speak. Your name
will ever be identified with the heroic
achievements of our army, and your
warmest friends and most devoted
admirers are the gallant band of Rough
Riders whom you led to victory.
This bright and glorious record, how |

as candidate, although it fills with
pride the heart of every true American. |

come to Chicago with his friends partly
to see if the answer to that question
would be found in the heart of the great
city life. In a few minutes he would
face the people he had grown very
strong and calm since he first spoke
with trembling to that company of
workingmen in the railroad shops. but
now, as then, he breathed a deeper
prayer for help Then he went in, and
with the bishop and the rest of the dis
ciples he experienced one of the great
and important events of the earthly
life Somehow he felt as if this meeting
would indicate something of an answer
to his constant query, "What would
Jesus dof" and tonight as he looked
into the faces Of men and women who
had for years been strangers and enc

Old-Tfme Dime Novels,
From the New Orleans Democrat.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
"1n looking over some old stock the
other day. said local newsdealer, Il ran
across one of Beadles dime novels, printed
in 1871. 1t was entitled THE Danite's
Daughter, or the Mystery of Echo Cam
yon." and was a blood-curdling tale of
Mormon deviltry. The story was set in or
binary 'minion' type, and filled 14S pages,
Az by 61a inches inclusive of margins. so,
you see it was rather short, a fact that
constituted its chief merit. There was
nothing vicious about the little book how
ever-it was merely very crude and stupid
and as l looked it over 1 was surprised to
recall the horror and alarm with which
such literature was regarded by our pa
rents and teachers when l was a young
ster. Compared with some of the latter
day flash stories for boys. in which toughs
and crooks figure as heroes 1t was de-
cdedly moral and rather elevating in tone
But 1t is gratifying fact that all such
trash seems to have seen Its day. The old
fashioned dime novel, with it's cheap yellow
back. was followed by food Of so-calIed
nickel libraries, which. incongruous as it
may seem, were probably suggested by the
success of the very high-class Franklin
Square Library. The nickel prints were
enormously popular for years, and great
fortunes We're made out of them by several
different publishers But the demand grad
ual1y Waned, and their sale is a mere drop
in the bucket against that of other DAYS,
l venture to say that not one boy out of
one hundred ever reads line of them to-
day. They are mostly prepoSterous stories
of adventure. evidently ground out by the
cheapest and clumsieSt class of hack writ
ers, and the modern schoolboy is entirely
too Intelligent to be attracted by that kind
of drivel. Ten years ago the newsdealers
used to order such books in lots of 800 TO
