The hall was draped with flags and bunting.
and there was a big picture OF President Nc
Kney, hung in black.
Robert C. Morris. w. H. Ten Eyck. Frederick
s Gibbs, Lieutenant Governor Woodruff and
other leaders expressed satisfaction with the
work of the conference committee In agreeing
upon a ticket All of the leaders spoke hope
fully and declared that the solid fusion which
had been effected gave good opportunity for
success at the polls. Each individual on the
ticket praised and, taken a whole. the
ticket was conceded to be the strongest that
could have been named
There was lack of interest in the proceed
ings, as there doubt about the ticket to
be nominated. Thus there none of the
usual conflicting gossip about candidates. such
as is characteristic of conventions.
The convention was called order at ITO
o'clock by George H. Roberts. chairman of the
Republican City Committee. Robert c. Norris
president of the Republican County Committee
was introduced as temporary chairman. Mr.
Morris said in part
Gentlemen of the Conysntion IL desire & to 5 express pr
to you my deep or he me o act as the
temporary chairman of the convention. In assum-
six months ago the Republican organization de,
cared itself as being ready to Cooperate rate, with all
litical. and with all ~rsons, without regard TO
party afflllatlonS, IN eject
ticket selected without regard to partisanshp. and
. commanding public confidence
The Republican City Convention represents a
partisan organization. We believe that the Federal
and State governments can be conducted only by
the party system But feel that the case is diff
ferent with the administration of municipal affairs.
The great city is "A great business corporation. The
cleaning of streets the conduct of the schools,
the mana cement of the parks and docks, the resu-
lation of water supply, the maintenance or pub
tion OF great departments-these the chief pre-
roCatives of the municipal government There
should not be such Thing Republican or a
Democratic way of cleaning the streets, of collect
ing the taxes of arresting the poolroom and dive
keepers and Il makes no difference whether man
is a Republican or a Democrat when his duties are
10 manage the Police Department, TO conduct the
finances to supervise the whole municipal admin
istration.
We shall offer the voters who opposed to
will carry on its face assurance of honest. eff
cient and liberal administration of the government
for the three and one-half millions of people within
the limits of the municipality. and we shall make
the campaign with confidence that majority OF
the voters will rally to the support OF our candi-
dates.
The address of Mr.. Morris was well received.
General Arson q. McCook was substituted for
John w. Jacobus, from the XXIXth Dis
trict so that General McCook who was not
delegate might make the speech nominating Mr.
Low An unusual resolution was then framed
providing that all resolutions presented be read
by the secretary. At former conventions reso-

provoked applause whenever the idea of nom
partisanship was expressed
In presenting the report OF the conference
committee Robert c. Morris named the candi.
dates TO be nominated. and tho greatest en-
thusiasm of the evening was created when he
said:
Il have the honor TO present for Mayor the
name of Seth Low"
The delegates began to clap their hands and
shout, and in a minute they rose to their feet
and continued the demonstration until the hall
rang with their cheers
In making the speech which placed Mr. Lows
name formally before the convention General
Arson g. McCook said:
Politically, Mr. Low has been Republican
In national and State affairs, but he has been a
firm believer in -partisanship in city affairs
Let us put aside all private feelings and have
but One purpose-to decide upon a candidate
that cannot be challenged. The conference COM
mittee has done noble work In selecting Mr.
Low. No one can have doubt as to his auali-
ties. and in the City Hall the people will know
what the Mayor should be-a true, broad
minded, liberal fearless independent and able
gentleman"
Some mirth was caused by II. r. Mayette who
seconded Mr. Lows nomination when he made
the entire Brooklyn delegation rise and remain
standing while he promised a majority of 10000
for Low in Kings County.
To save the time of taking a roll call the
convention unanimously instructed the secre-
/ tary, George r. Manchester, TO cast one vote,
and Mr. Low nominated
Judge Neu. of Brooklyn. in a speech nomi-
mating Edward NJ Grout for Controller said:
He was nominated to appease the independent

factor in Brooklyn. He has never kneeled at

autocrat who once a year returns to New-York
to dictate how and by whom we shall be gov

The feeling has been growing of late that the

MILD DENUNCIATION OF CONFERENCE
COMMITTEE, WITH PLAN TO NOM
MATE L. NJ. KNOX.

The City Democracy. composed of followers OF
ex-Sheriff James OBrien. met last evening at
No. l3S West Fcrty-second-st.. and appointed
committee TO consider the advisability of placing
an extra ticket in the field, headed by Edward
NJ. Knox a candidate for Mayor. The gath
ering adopted report of its delegation to the
enti-Tamnany conference, which contained the
following:
Each organization invited present names
for the consideration Of the conference committee
responsive the invitation, suggested the Hon
Smith Ely a former Mayor of NewYork, and Mr.
Edward NJ Knox. honored and respected
chant of New-York. A disturbing element existed
in the committee. led by an unsayory person
named Weisman. and aided by person named
Wheeler, who managed TO secure recommends
zion tor 1udgeship, and another person by the
name of Weed. To the credit of the conference
committee il should be stated that the commen-
dation of Wheeler for a Judgeship lasted only for
few hours and was therefore harmless. The per-
I'll manners OF the person Weisman may have been
contracted in California prison, and IL he Is an
anarchist in his heart he should have been a
member Of conference committee for reform In
the city Of New-York. These public deturbers as
sailed proposed candidates without reason or
decency, and brought about discord in the proceed

principles do not affect. on-partsanship should
be the dominant idea.
Later in his address Mr.. Woodruff described
the kind of candidates which the convention
should nominate, saying: THE candidates OF this
convention should be who have shown by
their public acts that they stand for all that Is
opposed to the present administration of the
city's afairs-men who stand for a proper econ
omy in public expenditure and the abolition OF
sinecurism, who will put end to system of
corruption in the Police Department., that fattens
on bIackmail levied upon the lowest elements of
society, and makes promotions, which should be
secured by honest work and meritorious service
for cash. and then enforces demands upon the
helpless members of the force by a cruel method
of transfer. Our candidates must be men who
will put end not only to the protection of
vice. but to the iniqutous system of encourag-
ing it by leading the innocent astray to increase
the revenues derived from it. the exposure of

WOMAN'S BEAUTY.
How it is Made or Marred.

There is nothing more subtle than woman's 9
beauty. 1t eludes all attempts to analyze 1t. A
woman may have the measurements and lines
of the Medician Venus and yet lack beauty. Or
she may defy artistic standards and be known
everywhere a beautiful woman. There is.
however, one kind of beauty which is recognized
by all and which Is every womans dover, a
beauty to which the French have given the
name of The Beauty of Youth" Many time

rounded contours. That beauty ought to last al
New-York tribune., 1901-09-25
HOW TO KEEP BEAUTY.


In order to preserve this beauty of youth to
retain the charm of sweetness and freshness
which belongs to maidenhood. the prerequisite
is to understand that the chief foe of woman's
beauty is womanly ill-health. Young women
are often very careless OF themselves. The
temptation of the dance, of the sleigh ride
overrules their prudence. and the result is sup
preston and perhaps irregularity. This is only
the beginning of worse evils and yet this alone
is sufficient to steal the freshness from the face
The womanly health should be protected with
the utmost care and the first symptom of de-
rangement or disease should be met by the use
of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Il will always recommend Dr. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription, Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant Pellets for they cured me when doc
tors and other medicines failed" writes Mrs
Mary E. Lewis. Of Tanner, Gmer Co. W. Va.

Live Stock Census.

Hon. L. G.. Powers, chief of the
government census, read a NOS in
teresting paper before the National
Live Stock association. He explain
ed that taking a census of live stock
was a very slow process, yet the
time was only one-half of what ii
was some years age. The report
will be completed and printed about
Jan Is. The figures were some what
of d surprise all aroand, showing a
very great increase over the govern
ment estimate, which may be &C
counted for in the new method of
securing the data. Mr.. Powers re
port says: "There were in the
country June l, 1900, 18,172, GA
dairy cows, 1l,6S6,82S other COWS,
kept for breeding purposes; 15,64l,4
$40 calves; $40, 743 steers Of which
about half were under 2 years old;
l3,372,2T bulls, and 1878, 731
heifers-a total Of SO, 522,7 "a, whica
is an increase of "a, 600, 900 over the
government estimate. Th ere were
6l,645, 1926 sheep, or 20, 900 900 more.
than the government report. The
number of sheep gained Ii per cent
during the past ten yea RS. The
number Of swine amounted to 3d.
297, 249, being Is, 00O, 900 alb owe the.
government estimate. The figures
show a gain of 81 per cent over ten
year ago. There was q deer ease of
1914 per cent in the north Atlantic
division, q gain of9.4 per cent in the
north central, Alb per cent in the
western, and 1876 per cent in the
SOUTH"
The census of the live stock is Of
the greatest Importance to live
stock men, but to be OF value the
figures should be given out soon
after the enumeration. A year
makes a great change, especially in
hogs and sheep.
