a New vice Presidential Boom-A

4 New Vice Presidential BOom.-A
wild and lurid boom was started at the
Capitol yesterday for the Hon. James s.
Sherman, of New York for second place
on the ticket with the amiable Mr.. Nc
Kiney. The fact that Mr.. Sherman sue
cessively was defeated for Speaker Of the
House and Secretary Of the Senate seemed
TO have no effect upon the ardor Of his
boomers, His supporters declare that he
is the STRONGEST member CT the Republican
contingent of the New York delegation in
the House, and that he would poll the fu
party vote in the Empire State il Mr. Han
ma and Mr. Mckinley should BE- wise
enough to accept him as New York's choice
for the Vice Presidency. 1t is said that
he stands high with the Plat machine, and
that also the Roosevelt following could re
united upon him. Repeated efforts failed
to elicit from Mr.. Sherman any expression
on the subject of his candidacy. 1t may he
that like so many statesmen OF deserved
emneuce, he is still in that chrysal Is state
OF development described by the pO iticians
as being in the hands Of his friends. II
this be the case, then there can be no
doubt that Mr.. Sherman is in exc lent

The year given to Spanish subjects Ia
Cuba and Porto Rico by the Paris Treaty
of Peace within which to declare their
political allegiance expired yesterday. At
the date Of the last official report from
Cuba, in regard to the number of Spanish
subjects in the island who had made aft
dayit that they would continue their allie
glance TO the Spanish Crown. about II 000
names had been so registered. The require
ment as to registration CT political af-
filiatiOn concerned only persons born in the
Spanish peninsula.
That part of the treaty governing the
matter provides for the protection of
Spanish subjects born in the peninsula
in the territory ceded to the United States
by Spain. In regard to the determination
Of the nationality Of these subjects the
treaty says:
''In case they remain in the territory
they may preserve their allegiance to the
Crown Of Spain by making. before a court
of record, within a year from the date OF
the exchange Of ratification Of this treaty
a declaration of their decision in default
OF which declaration they shall be held to
have renowned it and to have adopted the
nationality Of the territory in which they
may reside. The civil rights and political
status of the native inhabitants of the ter
rltOrleS hereby ceded 10 the United states
shall be determined by the Congress.
All subjects in Porto Rico who failed to
make declaration within the year ending
yesterday. acknowledge themselves as I'M
der the sovereignty Of the United States.
Spaniards in Cuba who did not declare
themselves are in an anomalous political
position. They must become citizens of
whatever government is established in the
island. 1t is said in official circles that
great many Spaniards who reaffirmed their
allegiance, would have willingly renowned
sovereignty to Spain by the negative pro-
cess provided, if they had received any as
surances or had reason TO believe that Cuba
would become American territory. The
period within which Spariards in the Phil
Ippines must declare themselves was re-
Gently extended for six months from yes
terday by a protocol signed by the Spanish
Minister in Washington and Secretary Hay.

what Is the Matter With Simmonse

placed IN charge of the Demo
cratic forces in North Caro-
lima IN what is conceded to
nave been the greatest crises
IN It's history. He wasstroro
enough in that position to fire
the hearts of every true white
man from Cherokee to Curri-
tuck with the determination
to throw off the curse of Afri-
canlsm. He was wise enough
to marshall his forces and
wage a battle in which the
shouts OF victory began with
the trst gun that fired and
d1d not cease until the hope
OF success became the realiza-
ton OF glorious victory. He
was brave enough to laugh at
threats of injunctions from
partisan courts and to hurl
dehance at senators and gov
ernOrs who sought to intimi-
date him with threats of fed
eral bavonets.
In those momentous DAYS
from April to August, when
strong men Wavered and brave
men feared and when all knew
that failure meant party an
Inhalation and defeat meant
ruin to the bestinteresto of the
State, this man was the CVnO-
sure Of ali Democratic eyes,
this mans unWaverlng Cour-
age and calm confidence organ
ized victory. His impassion-
ed speech before the State
Convention was the key note
Of a memorable campaign.
Democrats Of all shades Of
opinion acknowledged him to
be a wise counsellor, a skilled
diplomat, a superb leader Of
men. It was universally adj
mitted that if he led the party
to defeat his political star
would never rise again. It
was conceded then by all that
if he succeeded the party had
no hOnOrs that would not be
his for the asking. From all
parts Of the State the word
came up then IF we win,
Simmons must have the seat
in the Senate which Butler,
the political pariah, has pol
luted and disgraced.'
Mr.. Simmons was good
enough and big enough tor
the Senate then. He IS good
enough and bigenough for the
SANTA NOW.
There is nothing the matter
with Simmons.
He's ali right.
