were no wild Outbursts Of enthusiasm
from the frenzied partisans of rival can
didates, no entrance of delegations with
banners to set the multitudes cheering,
no fierce skirmishing and clashing of can
didates' managers over rules of preced-
ure and contesting delegations. The chief
tain in the coming battle had already
been selected by the unanimous voice of
the republicans of the country. The man
who had stood at the helm Of the ship
of state for four years was their I'M
broken choice. The platform was the
record of his administration. The only
question that remained for the conven-
ton to decide was the vice presidency,
and it was not a sufficient bone of con-
tention to produce the tumultuous scenes
which usually attend the assembling of a
national convention.
Roosevelt Appears.
Just before Chairman Hanna was ready
to drop his gavel, Gov. Roosevelt entered
stalked in at the main door. His rough
rider hat signaled him out to the cram
ing multitude. Seemingly the audience
had been waiting for him, and the ap-
plause that announced his appearance
swept over the vast amphitheater and
swelled into a great roar as he made his
way towards the seats of the New York
delegation. No stage idol ever made an
entrance more OPPORTUNITY. But he made
no acknowledgment of the ovation his
appearance elected. His jaw was firmly
set. and he came on through the press
like soldier performing a duty. He did
not even remove his hat but pushed his
way through the delegates who swarmed
from their places to grasp his hand.
Fully two minutes it took for him to ira
verse the length of the hall to his place
near the stage. All that time the roar
followed him and the handkerchiefs rose
and fell like the wings of gulls over a
summer sea.

Mcadovi Herald. Good business men
know that there will be q reaction from
the present business conditions. The
high prices of certain commodities are
sure to recede. They were made pos
sible by abnormal conditions and these
will be removed sooner or later. Four
years of depression and partial suspen-
sion, at least, of our manufactures
made the revival more intense. The
shortage of supply and the abnormal
demand has made the boom We judge
that it will not be very long before we
get down to steady business again
Prices will seek their legitimate level,
and while our prosperity will in no
way be lessened there will be less of the
speculative and more of the substantial
style of business the kind that plans
for tho future as well as the present.
