Now, while the trumpets knock upon the gates;
Now, while the crash Of brass intoxicatesl
Dead at the climax This is victoryi
His overturned chariot wins the race
As Deaths voice sweeps the field where mortsls

And hoarse with blood stained triumph cries,
''Give placeP'

REPUBLICAN AS we'll as democratic
news from Philadelphia is to the effect
that the negro delegates to the national
republican convention there receive
scant courtesy, and are practically in-
formed that their seats are better than
their company. The republicans, now
that they realize that the negroes can
not help them, in the South, as this sec
ton is becoming more and more solid,
and as there are no negro delegates from
the North, pay little attention to them.
But though this is apparent to every
body else, there is hardly negro In
anv Southern State who will not aban-
don his Job next November in order to
90 to the polls and vote the republican
ticket. The carpet baggers taught
them to do so, and they'll never forget
Eheir lessons.

THE REPUBLICAN platform of 1900 Is
strong on a protective tariff, if possible,
stronger even than it is on monometal-
ism, But those old enough. remem-
Der that the first platforms of the re-
publican party contained no mention Of
protection, end everybody now knows
that articles manufactured in this coun-
try are sent abroad and sold there at
cheaper rates thsn they bring here. II
American goods can be sold in England
cheaper than similar goods made there,

increase the profits OF American manu-
facturers-who supply the money with

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
BREACHES OF PRoMIsE.-Many records
Of different kinds have been broken OF
late. But it will take long time, in
deed, to break the one that has just
been made by the Bavarian gentleman,
Mr.. Alois Frsnkenberg. His case
came up the other day 10 the Assizes
Court of Grstz, Austria, in which the
testimony against him, the truth Of
which was admitted by himself, footed
up total of 120 cases of breaches of
promises to marry. Young girls, old
maids, widows, brunettes ana blondes.
fat and lean, long and short. all figured
10 his gigantic dosier. And yet his
mode of procedure was simple enough.
After he had spent fortune OF 100000
marks leading wild life in different
countries he returned toGratz penDiless.
His last resource lay in his good looks
and winning ways. He put an advertise
ment in several papers inviting ladies
desiring to marry "a gentleman Of
fortune" to put themselves in commun-
lcation with him. And they did. His
BONES fortunes were phenomenal even
though his fortune" was fictitious. 10
q short time he had sweethearts galore,
and, to buy furniture for nice fats in
their chatesux en- Espagne, he obtained
money from them. That is what got him
in o trouble. After sparkling all that
was profitably spsrksble in Gratz he
abandoned his beloved ones 10 that
town and set up In business as matri.
monial merchant in Munich, where his
success was still more extraordinary.
Then he returned to Grstz, where he
was denounced, arrested, tried, con-
victed and sentenced to Imprisonment
for two years and six months with hard
labor. That seems to be hard fate
for 10 ardent lover; but the course of
true love never did run straight, and
moreover, he can console himself with
the thought that, after all, he is more
fortunate than his illustrious predeces-
sor, Don JUAN N. Y. Sun.

TIE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

TIE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
The selection of Roosevelt became q
certainty late last night, when Senator
Hanna, chairman of the republican ma
tionsl committee, came out definitely in
his favor. There was q grand rush to
congratulate the New York governor.
Representative Dolliver and other lead
ing candidates on the ground decided
quit the race. The boom OF Secre-
tary Long collspses with the with
drswal of Hanna's support.
The situation was forced by com
bination of senator Platt, ex-senator
Quay and National Committeeman
Henry G. Payne. of Wisconsin. For
this combination Hanna, 10 his fight to
prevel It Roosevelt's nomination, proved
TO match.
Ooe of the reasons for the admins
tration finally accepting Roosevelt was
plan to spring his name on the con-
vention for the presidency. 1t Is said
that one OF the California delegates
b ID announced that he would present
The Rough Riders name and that other
delegates would second it. Roosevelt

ton than Mckinley, the administra'
tom, fearing something worse, bad to &C
knowledge its defeat and accept Roose.
welt for second place.
Yesterday Quay sprung a scheme.
He introduced an amendment provld-
ing that the representation OF each
State 10 future national conventions
shall consist of four delegates-at-large
end one additional delegate for each
10000 or majority fraction Of 10, 900 cast
for the republican electors in the last
preceding presidential contest. The
plan was an old one, but it served a
new purpose.
As the effect OF the amendment would
be to reduce largely the representation
of the southern States in republican
rational conventions. there was great
opposition to it from the southern
delegates. Congressman Mudd, of
Maryland, moved that its consideration
bs postponed for day. This fitted in
with the plans OF the Plat. Quay and
Payne combinations. The amendment
was postponed and time was afforded
TO trade votes on it.
Most of the northern delegates were
10 favor of the amendment. The south
ern delegates, seeing that their only
chance OF beating it was by the favor
OF the combine" and that the COM
bine was seeking to get votes for
Roosevelt, came up gracefully and pro-
posed to trade. The point was gained.
The southern delegates could be swung
for Roosevelt, and Hanna was over
whelmed. Hasty consultations, aud
then the general rush to Roosevelt fol-
lowed.
The Maryland delegation took vote
on the vice presidency and was found
10 be solid for Roosevelt.
