The Republican Platform.

The platform adopted by the Republican
national convention was admirably written
and expressed. Ii the allegations were true,
all the pleasant lines that have fallen to this
country are directly due to the application Of
Republican principles and policies, and all
the evils are charged to Democratic control
or obstruction. Credit is claimed for the es.
adjustment and maintenance of the gold
standard-the discoveries of new gold fields
and the increase in the production of gold had
nothing TO do with it. To the maintenance
of the policy of protection is ascribed all the
prosperity which has come to the people; and
upon the doctrine Of protection the party, in
the language of the late Mark Hanna, Dor
rowed from the vernaeular of the gambling
saloons, stands pat
The platform declares, in effect, in favor of
subsidies for ships. On all other matters a
promise 10 continue the policies of the past is
made

Vice Presidents Succeeding to the
Presidency.

Some one unfamiliar with political history
in the United States has remarked that nc
Vice President ever succeeded TO the PreSi.
deney, except in the event Of the death Of the
President Ii is also said that no person was
ever elected President while serving as United
States Senator.
The first assertion was made to indicate that
Mr. Roosevelt would not be elected. The
second, TO show that Senator Gormaa would
not be nominated by the Democrats. There
is nothing in either statement, even were they
true, but three Vice Presidents have become
President by the vote of the people-or by
their representatives. For more than twenty,
five years after the establishment of the gov
ernment in most Of the States the Legislatures
selected the electors. Prior 10 1904 each
elector voted for two candidates for Presi-
dent, the one receiving the highest number Of
votes becoming President and the one receiv.
ing the next highest becoming Vice President.
John Adams was elected Vice President
twice with Washington, and was elected to
succeed him.
Jefferson was chosen Vice. President, when
John adams was elected in 1896, and Was
chosen President in 1900 and 1904.
In 1892 Martin Van Buren, was elected Vice
President when Andrew jackson was chosen
President Ia 1886 Van Buren, was elected
President.
Here are instances 10 our political history
where three Vice Presidents succeeded 10
the Presidency. but we cannot recolieet that
any person serving as United States Senator
was ever chosen President. Benjamin Har-
rison had served as Senator before be was
chosen President. In recent years very few
Senators, except John Sherman, Of Ohio,
have aspired to the Presidency, prefering the
six year term and the general power aad in
aGssce that goes with the Senatorial Office.
1t is true that no accidental President was
chosen President.

Strangied His Wife,

WASHINGTON, June 2I.-Wiliam Walter
Hamilton, a negro driver, 80 years old, was
arrested today for strangling to death his
eommou-law wife, Lizzie Lyman, whose body
was found in her bedroom early today.
Hamilton confessed the crime and alleged
jealousy as the cause He told the police that
after stranging the woman yesterday evening
he went out and bought bucket of beer and
returning home, sat beside the dead body
while he drank the beer.
During the long hours of the night he
smoked cigarettes and occasionally felt the
cold form of his victim. When morning came
the murderer sat on the bed and wrote two
letters, in WHICH be told of his CHASTITY work
Hamilton told the police that he knew h
would be hanged, and that the sooner the enc
was accomplished the better.

The Republican Convention.

The Republican national convention at
Chicago this week was the most listless ua-
tional convention held for many years, if ever.
There was no real enthusiasm, no genuine APP
plause. All there was was manufactured.
The duration of the longest demonstration the
first day, so the press dispatches stated, was
fourteen seconds. 1t occurred when the por'
trait of Roosevelt was unveiled. 1t was
started by the doorkeepers and other en-
ployes, who were instructed to applaud when
the picture was revealed, aud they did the
most of it. On the second day the applause,
very infrequent, lasted from half to six
seconds
The speech of Elihu E. Root, ex.Secretary
of War, the temporary chairman, which was
the keynote of the campaign, failed to arouse
the delegates from their listless condition, and
from the beginning to the close silence gen.
orally reigped. There was little or no interest
in the proceedings. The work of the conven-
ton was known in advance-the nominee for
President, the report of the committee on
credentials, the temporary and permanent
officers, and even general idea of the plat
form. The only uncertainty was the nominee
for Vice President, but even he was agreed
upon day before the nomination was made.
President Roosevelt desired Congressman
Hit. of Illinois, as his running mate aad the
Illinois delegation had endorsed him. The
leading party men, however, having to acquisce
in the nomination Of Roosevelt, determined
to name the candidate for Vice President, and
certered on Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana.
In spite of Roosevelt's known desires Fair
banks vas nominated by reclamation, and
the Roosevelt machine had TO scquisee. 1t
was thought that Fairbanks would add strength
to Roosevelt, whom the big men of the party
regard as weak. Should the ticket win the
victory will be ascribed to Fairbanks by those
who nominated him, and should the ticket
meet defeat it viii be said by them that Roose-
welt was too heavy load for Fairbanks to
carry.
The attendance at the convention was the
smallest known at a national convention for
years. Not all the delegates were present,
and even some who attended on the first day
HE'D themselves to the St. Louis Exposition
on the second day as place of more interest.
The galleries we're not more than half full.
The same indifference shown at the conven-
ton permeates the party in general. The
selection of Mr.. Cortelyou, by Roosevelt for
chairman of the national convention, and the
Presidents insistence upon his election,
against the wishes of many prominent Repub
licans, is another damper upon the party, and
the Republican campaign of 1904 starts under
a chill.

Cannon on German.

Windy joe, Chairman of the Repub-
lican national convention, in an hours speech,
spun out to kill time and prevent a final ad-
journment on Wednesday, took occasion to
lampoon Senator German. Cannon, who
should be called Vulgar Joe'' instead Of
"Windy Joe, - is Speaker of the House Of
Representatives, and one of the foremost Re
publcans in the country, and his criticism o
Senator German is the highest compliment
the Senator has had since the days of S
Teackle Wallis, John Z. Cowen and Henri
Wooten.
The attack on German from such promi
nent Republican as Cannon is evidence tina
he Republicans fear him.
