nomination should not be recon-

is no reason why Ohio at this time
should fail to join in the hailcluj ah

One thing may now definitely be
predicted. 1t is that the republican
convention of 1904 will be, SO far as
the presidential nomination is con-
cerned, as tame and spiritlcss as that
of Philadelphia in 1900. President
Roosevelt will be nominated by ac-
clamation. He has no enemies i'm the
republican party outside of Wall
street. There may be little ripple
of excitement in connection with the
vice presidential nomination. but
even in that respect there will be
nothing like the tumult occasioned by
