Both, Our Standard Bearers
NOMINATED BY ACCLAMATION
Amid Scenes of the Widest Enthusiasm Kan
sas Led the Roosevelt Stampede

nomination. When he had finished
National Committeeman Yorkes, of
Kentucky, recognized Governor Mount
of Indiana, who also seconded the
nomination of Mckinley. The presi-
dent was then nominated unanimously
at 1886 amid the most intense excite
ment. 1t was long time before quiet
was restored.
At 1852 the nominating of vice
president began. Alabama yielded to
Iowa and Colonel Young, OF Iowa,
took the platform, withdrew Dolliver
and named Theodore Roosevelt of
New York amid great demonstrations.
The band played Hot Time and
Kansas marched around the hall with
banner inscribed: "Kansas was the
first toldecare for Roosevelt" Tine
states all fell in line and the demon
stration was continued for more than
half an hour. Murray, of MassaChu-
setts, then took the stand Withdrew
/ Long and seconded Roosevelt's nomi-
nation. Ashton. of Washington, and
Depew, of New York, followed. De-
pew made one of his characteristic
speeches, and was frequently inter
rupted by applause. No other nomi-
nations were made and the voting be-
gan at $50. In five minutes Roose.
welt was nominated by acclamation.
The demonstration which followed
equaled if it did not exceed that which
greeted McKinley's nomination. Their,
was no further business and at 2:l:
the convention adjourned sine die
The delegates left the hall shouting
for Mckinley and Roosevelt.

"YOu May Benefit the Sapling, but
Not the Tree"

When disease has become chronic
and deep seated it is often difficult to
cure it. That is the reason why it is
best to take Hoods Sarsaparilla when
disease first shows itself--in pimples,
headaches, indigestion or other
troubles which tell of poor blood,
weak stomach or disordered liver or
kidneys. This great medicine regu-
lates the whole system. 1t never dis
appoints.
Hoods pills are the favorite family
cathartic.

Scioto County to Build a New
Court House.

The county commissioners were at
the Commercial club Wednesday night
by invitation of members of the di-
rectory, who wished to urge upon the
commissioners the Importance of soon
building a new couit house. 1t was
the unanimous opinion Of all present
that a new court house was needed,
and needed badly,a that steps would
have to betaken soon to make arrange
ments. The commissioners were all
in favor of the plaL and said that
when the proper time came they would
be in line for the improvement. The
matter will have to be submitted to a
vote of the people, as bonds will have
to be issued to cover the expense.
There is no doubt that the proposition
will carry and the present commits
sioners could do no more popular
thing than take the preliminary steps
toward giving us a new and modern
court house. Portsmouth Times.
