IL was found that some of the bricklayers who
were ordered to strike against individual con-

WILL CARRY THIS ST1TE.
Louis Stern Enthusiastic OUcr the
RepubEcan Ticket.

Louis Stern n member of the New-York dele
cation to the Republican National Convention,
we'll as president Of the Republican Club
has returned from Chicago. delighted with the
outcome of the convention and with boundess
confidence that the Republican nominees for
President and President will defeat the
strongest ticket that the Democratic party can
put up. In talk with a Tribune reporter last
night Mr.. Stern expressed the conviction that
President Roosevelt and Senator Fairbanks will
carry New-York State.
Il was delighted with the entire proceedings
said Mr.. Stern. For the first two days there
may not have been that wild enthusiasm which
affect to believe should have obtained
Had there been any opposition. any number of
ballotings. several opposing candidates any
wholly unknown factors, this contention might
be well founded. Everything had been so well
arranged, however. and there was SO little fric-
ton that there was really no time for enthu-
siasm. None the less, on the third day the en-
thusiasm was phenomenal.
The excellence OF the nominating speeches and
the high level Of intelligence represented were
truly remarkable. 1t oeemed that all that was
most intelligent in American life repre-
sented The nominating speeches of ex-Gov-
ernor Frank S Black for the President. Of SEN
ator Dolliver for the Vice-Presdent. of Chair
man Cannon, Of Senator Beverage. OF George
A. Knight of California, were splendid.
What is the general impression OF the
ticket? It is one of congratulations on every
side. OF course, President Rooseveit's nomina-
ton assured thing, and for Senator
Fairbanks he is able. conservative. popular in
the West and in his own State which is good
criterion of a mans value, and 1 believe no
stronger man, all things considered, could have
been put up for Vice President There is no
question as TO the success of the ticket-not
the slightest doubt l sincerely believe that the
Roosevelt Fairbanks ticket can beat anything
that the Democrats can put up. both in the total
suffrages and the suffrages Of the people of
New-Yorl1 State. AS for enthusiasm, there will
be plenty of time to 'whoop her up beginning
with the middle OF September. There is not the
slightest DOUBT that the ticket spells success
