REPUBLICANS OF MISSOURI.
An Ovation to the Little Rough Rider
of the White House..

Jefferson City, Mo-, June 25.-When
the republican state convention was
call to order this morning, the dele
gates were worn out after last nights
session. The credentials committee
had succeeded at daylight in reach
ing an agreement and presented it's
report which vas taken up eagerly.
In the St. Louis contest, the report
seated three Kerens delegates and
three Atkins delegates, a compromise,
while in the tenth congressional dis
trict the delegation was turned from
a sKerens to al Atkins delegation.
There was an uproar and a brief re-
cess was taken while the contesting
delegations were allowed to retire and
tight it out. After a stormy session
of half an hour the delegates reported
to- the convention that Atkins faction
had declined to take advantage of
the committees action and had de-
cided to let the caucus action of yes
terday stand. This meant the reten-
ton of two Kerens supporters on the
state committee. The report then
was adopted. The committee on per-
manent organization making E. E..
McJimsey permanent chairman was
adopted enthusiastically. The read
ing of the platform containing an un-
e~quivocal endorsement of Roosevelt
for president in 1904. was greeted with
wild applause. the delegates mount

Observation-Disclosures Will Follow


London, June 25.-The business Sec
ton of Londch is slow in recovering
from the stunning effects of yester-
days developments, while the bar
riers around Westminster abbey have
been removed, the decorations are
being completed for the benefit of to-
morrow and Sunday crowds.
The hotels and provision dealers
are hit hardest. Thousands of pounds
of perishable food of the most ex-
pensive varieties are crowding every
refrigerator in London, while orders
for many tons more were tele-
graphically Cancelled yesterday, and
will remain a source of litigation or
compromise.
The caterers of the fashionable
West end establishments have an
nounced that they are willing to share
the losses of their patrons, who had
given large orders for delivery to-
morrow and Friday. Few of the cater
ers or hotels availed themselves of
insurance, the recently offered Lloyds'
rate of 10 per cent being considered
too high. Many proprietors of re-
viewing stands were thus protected,
but the important question remains
as to whether the money paid for
seats will necessarily be refunded.
Only a few seats Of nearly half a mil
lion were sold with any specific pro-
vision on this point.
The manufacturers Of medals and
souvenirs are badly hurt, and say
that 100000 0 medals, dated June 26,
and June II, already struck, were
now valueless. Altogether, London's
business loss is ~incalculable, and the
people of Portsmouth, where prepara-
lions involving a big expenditure,
have been made to reap a harest from
the naval review, are simply crushed.
A curious fact is that some of the
outlying suburbs had no general reali-

DEMOCRATS NAME HEAD OF THE
MIXED TICKET.
CONVENTION IN MISSOURI
Resolutions UnequivocalIy Indorse
President Roosevelt for Presi-
dental Candidate in 1904.

Grand Island, Neb., June 25.-Fu-
sion was accomplished by the demo
cratic and populist state conventions
today, when both bodies unanimously
nominated w. H. Thompson of Grand
Island, a democrat, for governor. The
remainder of the ticket is as follows:
Lieutenant governor, E. A. Gilbert,
populist, York; secretary of state,
John H. Powers, populist, Hitchcock;
attorney general, ]. H. Broody, demo-
crat, Lincoln; commissioner public
lands and buildings, James Brennan,
democrat, Omaha.
The nomination of Thompson by
the pOpulists came in the tenth bal
lot, when he received two-thirds of
the@rptes cast.
ex-governor POINTER moved to
makesthe nomination unanimous and
thesamotion preailed. Thompson had
already been nominated by the dem
ocrats.
Conference committees at once got
to work on the rest of the ticket. The
populists were given their first choice
of the remainder of the candidates.
At Z o'clock the fusion convention
adjourned for breakfast without hav-
ing secured a nomination for gov
ernor and with the prospects for fu-
sion still in doubt.
Each of the conventions had select
ed a nominee for governor during the
night, the populists naming M. F. Har-
rington of Holt county and the demo-
Gratis G. j.. Smyth of Omaha.
Both conventions began to ballot on
these names and entered into a dead
lock which lasted until 5 o'clock this
morning. At that hour William J..
Bryan was nominated by the popu-
lists by reclamation, and the demo-
cratic convention notified.
smyth appeared before the demo-
cratic convention and announced that
fusion with himself as a nominee
seemed impossible and offered to with
draw. At the same time Mr.. Har-
rington announced his withdrawal.
Mr.. Bryan thanked the convention
for the honor, but said he could not
accept the nomination for reasons al
ready familiar to the public. He
made a plea for harmony and fusion.
After discussing a mode of pro-
cedure, a new ballot was ordered.
Five out of six counties called cast
their vote for Harrington, the popu-
list choice, when Harrington with
drew and asked the convention to
nominate w. H. Thompson. The sug-
gestion was acted upon with unani-
nous consent and Thompson was
borne to the platform on the should
ers of a number of delegates. The
democratic convention adjourned for
breakfast. This action was made
known to the populist convention,
which took a recess. The populists
r~econvened at 9 O'Clock and the first
ballot taken resulted in the nomina-
ton of General p. H. Barry. The
democratic convention was notified
of this action at once and the two
bodies were soon in deadlock, ballot
ing on Thompson and Barry.

Vermont and the OIeomargarine Bill.

Vermont may claim large share of
credit for the oleomargarine bill, which
passed the senate Thursday. 1t was
long known as the Circuit bill, and to the
work of Gen. Grout when in congress is
due the initial impetus given to this i'm
portant matter. His persistency made
the matter prominent and secured for it
a large public support, On his retire
ment, Mr.. Haskins, his successor, took
up the work in earnest. Senator Proctor
is chairman Of the senate committee to
which the bill was referred and some
valuable amendments were made there.
The senator also spoke vigorously in
support of the bill Senator Dillingham;
championed it and made a speech in it's
favor that was a model and has won for
him much praise. The principal feature
of the bill is that it imposes a tax Of 10
cents a pound on colored oleomargarine,
a tax so heavy that it is expected to
drive out the stuff as a rival of butter
The tax on uncolored Oleomargarine is
not raised, as butter producers have
nothing to fear from oleo competitions
where the stuff is sold for what 1t really
is and is not made to resemble butter.
Nomjnally revenue measure, the bill is
really intended to be prohibitive and this
furnished one Of the arguments of the op-
postion-that it was designed to tax a
legitimate industry out OF existence.
This did not prove strong argument
for the right Of the government to use its
taxing power even to the extent of de
struction has been affirmed, The tax of
10 per cent on the circulation of state
banks was intended to destroy them as
bonds of issue and it effected its purpose.

are being very generally discussed and

man OF this sort, with so o'erweening a

OF furthering that unity. America gets
100 scholarships at Oxford University,

in a measured way, as preached by the

with the American Protective Tariff

Judge Seneca i1aseIton.
First Democrat on the Vermont Bench
since 1881.

Judge John W. Rowel OF Randolph has
been elevated to the position of chief
judge of the Vermont supreme court, to
succeed the late Russell S. Taft. He took
the oath of office at Montpelier, Wednes
day, and on the same day Governor
Stickney announced the appointment OF
Seneca Has,]ton of Burlington as sixth
assistant judge, in place Of Judge Stat
ford, who, with the other judges is ad-
vanced one number. The new judge will
take the assignments of the late Judge
Taft for the remainder of the year. This
will give him the June term at Woodstock,
the September term at Burlington and the
December term at Bennington. Since his
appointment he has been assisting Judge
Start in the Montpelier county court.
AS a candidate for the judgeshp Mr..
Haselton had practically the unanimous
support Of the bar in Chittenden, Wash
ington and Addison counties. The APP
pointment is a deserved one from the
standpoint of ability and legal knowl-
edge, and it is also a recognition OF the
democratic party in the state, for no
member of that party has sat upon the
bench since the retirement OF Hon Tim
othy P. Red6eld in 1884. 1t is said that
| Judge TAFT expressed wish that Mr.
! Haselton might be his successor. The
new judge is brother of Mrs. Anna h.
Pufter of this place.
Seneca HaseIton, son OF the Rev. Amos
and Amelia (Frink) Haselton, was born
in Westtord, Feb. &c, 1884. His early
education was obtained in the public
schools o Jericho, Underhill and Barre.
He then entered the classical department
OF the U. Y. Nj. from which be graduated
with high honors in 1871. la 1878 he
began the study OF law in the office OF
Wales and Taft at Burlington, but soon
after accepted the chair of instructor of
mathematics in the University of Mich.
gan, at the same time pursuing his pro-
fessional studies in the law department
of that institution. Later he returned
to Burlington where he has since re.
manned, attaining a very high rank as a
general practitioner.
Judge Haselton is a strong adherent oil
the democratic party and has always
taken an active and leading part in both
