The Vice Presidency.
From the Boston Advertiser.)

EFTOhI NC BVs0VH NuVtIIIsfT.J
The reason why New York State has come so
near 10 having monopoly OF Republican Vice
candidates Is twofold. In the first
place, the Republican candidate for President is
usually a Western man, and so the Vice Presi-
doncy comes East. In the second place, coming
East; the Vice Presidency is allotted to the
greatest OF the so-called doubtful States, with
the idea that II will help 10 carry that State for
the ticket. The latter part Of the reason is Of
doubtful soundncss. What is needed in a Presi-
Dental ticket in order that it may carry New
York is popularity Of lite principles and of its

TROY, y. Y, April 6.-The Republican
Congressional Convention for the Nine
teenth district was held here today, ard
the efforts of Postmaster Joseph A Leg
gett, Chairman of the district committee,
to adopt resolutions pledging support to
Governor Roosevelt were defeated through
the efforts of former Gov. Flank S.
Black and former Superintendent o; Insur-
ance Lou Payn. The resolutions, as
adopted, contained mere complimentary
reference to Governor Roosevelt's admin

HEAVY FLOODS IN TEXAS.


DALLAS, Tex. April 1.-THE heaviest
floods Texas has known in years, barring
the disastrous overflow Of the Brazos
River in July last, are reported tonight
from the western and central western
sections Of the State. The most destructive
effects. so far known, are in the valley of
the Concho. The town of Water Valley.
300 inhabitants, is reported to have been
swept entirely away by the sudden rise OF
the Concho. No lives are reported lost,
but the town is said to be In ruins.

Campbell Coming BacL.-The edifv-
ing news reaches Washington fresh from
the lair of the Tammany Tiger that the
Hon. Tim Campbell is coming back to Con-
eess. When it is known that the Hon.
Timothy has secured from the mighty
Croker a faithful promise TO send him to
the next House there can be no doubt as
TO his return. Ii is believed that he will
represent the Ninth district, whose inter
ests are now vigilantly guarded by the
Hon. Thomas J. Bradley. Mr.. Bradley. it
is said has tired of the cares and woes of
craftsmanship and has asked his constit-
uents to relieve him at the expiration of
his present term Of service. II is stated
that but for the fortuitous circumstance
that on the last registration day the Hon
Tim Campbell enrolled himself as a citi-
zen of the Ninth district Mr. Bradley
might be compelled to serve another term.
But where is the constituency that would
have to 20 far aield for a statesman
when so eminent an exponent of the Con-
stitution as Tim Campbell the Pride of
the East Side" was in their midst? 1t is
stated that the post of honor as private
citizen does not meet either the tastes or
attainments Of Campbell. Craftsmanship
is his long suit, and without it he. as well
as the nation, is unable to find that happi-
ness that conduces TO longevity and great
ness Mr.. Campbell. SO the legend runs
will resurrect his famous platform for the
forthcoming contest and II is confidently
predicted that he will make his Repub-
Ncan opponent wish he had never aspired
10 Congress. The platform is brief and
upambiguous to wit: What is the Con-
stitution between friends?"

Taxation,

Human nature has not changed. The people

Bland Day.-The House today will
devote itself to paying tributes Of respect
TO Missouris great commoner, the clean
handed, simple hammered. and high soued
Richard Parks Bland. Mr.. BANDS death
occurred seven months before the Fifty
sixth Congress convened. and the usual
marks OF respect have not been shown
him earlier because of the desire OF his
friends to arrange a date when suitable
representation of them could participate
in the exercises either on the floor or in
the galleries as spectators. Twenty or
more speeches will be made in the House
today in eulogy of the dead statesman.
Messrs. DeArmond and Clark Will rake
the principal speeches for the Missouri
delegation Speaker Henderson. who IN
derstood as few men did Mr.. BANDS
real greatness and entertained for him
profound respect, will be among the
euogists. Mrs. Bland. accompanied by
her eldest son. Theodric, an athletic
trim-featured young gentleman, arrived in
Washington yesterday TO attend the ser
vices in the House today. The Senate will
pay its tokens of respect to Mr.. Bland
next Tuesday when speeches will be made
by both Senators Vest and Cockrell of
Missouri Senator Berry. Senator Allen
and others who had for Mr.. Bland profound
respect and speak OF him with genuine
apprecia ION.

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

The subject OF the organization OF the
Kansas City Convention is just now oc-
casioniug good 4al s6f talk and specula-
tion among Demo- rats at the Capitol. The

formed by the NATIONAL Committee, and

branch of Congress. hone of them, from
Senator Jones. the Chairman. down, pro-
fesses TO have the faintest idea who will be
given the honor of temporary chairman at
Kansas City. Indeed, none Of them viii
discuss the subject for publication, Chair
man Jones being particularly averse to
being quoted. The general impression
seems TO be that the temporary chairman
will be selected from New England, APP
parently with the view of impressing on
the people OF that section the fact that the
Democracy is not sectional, as its enemies
appear to have made New Englanders be-
lieve. Also. it seems to be universally
conceded that in selecting the permanent
chairman a conspicuous German American
should be chosen without regard to the
community in which he lives. The belief

treatment by the Democratic managers the

even Wisconsin. 1t is thought that the Sc
lection of leader OF this element would
be In the line of encouragement and recog-
milton that the German Americans are
waiting for. and that the bestowal OF the
honor upon one of their new leaders. rather
than upon one of the older and more promi-
nent. would be even more pleasing to them
This latter consideration eliminates men
like Carl Schurz and Oswald DitteDhoffer
and doubtless would mean the bringing
forward Of some more vigorous and up-to-
date man of Teutonic extraction who could
appeal directly TO the most virile sentiment
of that class of citizens

Few Are Doomed.-It is remarked
as most unusual circumstance that com
paratively so few members of the House
appear to have party troubles at home.
This does not mean that all of them are
going TO be reelected. There has been
too much Oxnardizing of the Fifty sixth
Congress TO make that belief tenable. OF
course. also some of them are not free
of care as to the prospects of renomina
ton. and some of them-a precious few.
be 1t understood-are actually going 10
quit Congress of their own accord. But
thus far, with only one or two exec tions
every member in whose district q conven-
ton has been held has been renominated.
This statement applies to Democrats, Re
publicans, and Populists alike. Students of
politics do not infer from this that the
people are becoming better satisfied with
their Representatives. but that the politi-
clans in all parts of the country are look
ing more carefully after the details of
political organization. 1t is stupid
statesman, indeed who cannot control the
machinery of his district once he gets
into Congress. Every member of the
House who cares to stay in Congress has
learned how to organize. control. and
keep constantly ready for instant use a
well-organiZed and well-manned machine
in his district. OF course. members like
Speaker Henderson, Mr.. Payne. Mr.. Dolli-
yer, Mr.. Hull, IMresBabcock, Mr.. Dear
mond. Mr. Clark OF Missouri f,r. Benton,
Mr.. MeRea, Mr., DaIzell. and leaders of
their calibre are strong enough at home TO
feel easy about their fences and therefore
do not devote the same care TO them as
they did before they acquired the hold on
their districts that they now possess. AT
the same time ii is conceded that even
members of their standing keep skeleton
organizations that can quickly be filled
out and put in working order if occasion
should demand. 1t is argued from this
condition that the average length of serv-
ice in the House soon will show a material
increase. provided. of course, that the peo-
pie do not conclude to check the drift to-
ward stronger political organization.
which means the reduction of politics to
safe and certain businessike system and
methods.
