Jim Butler had a procession of
his own at Tonopah Wednesday.
He had all the Indians from the
surrounding towns brought in and,
heading the crowd of bucks,
squaws, and children, marched
through the principal streets of
the town. He then made a speech
and was followed by two SPELL
binders from the Indian tribe,
who pronounced Jim a heap good
fellow, and Butler brought the
affair to a close by loading the red
men down with about a ton of
provisions and sending them home.
The procession made almost as
big a hit as the one held Tuesday.

NeVada'S Political
Regeneration.

We extend to the good people
of Nevada the assurances of our
most distinguished consideration,
says the Utah Journal. 1t appears
that Nevada is preparing to mount
the shining heights. She is going
to have a square Senatorial fight.
Our neighbor State is proud of
her mines and proud of her irriga-
ton movement. But she has more
occasion to glorify herself in this
Renaissance of political honesty
than in all other things combin-
ed.
What q splendid thing it will be
for Nevada to have elected by
honesty and incorruptible Legis-
lature. men, who, in their turn,
will serve honestly and incorrupt-
IDLY in the National halls. Not
hal all men elected in Nevada
have been tainted, but because
some have been, and because the
Battle Born State has suffered i'm
measurably thereby in the judge
ment of mankind.
Honesty in public life is so
much better for Nevada than The
Sack. When once the old and
honest way shall have been ban
ished, what a proud rank Nevada
a take among the States of the
Union, and how gloriously will
her upright citizenship hold itself
in the eyes of the world! No
longer will her Legislatures await
the coming of the messenger from
the banks of San Francisco in
order to find out their own opinion
concerning public questions. No
longer need they feel that the pro-
ftable industry for the State is
milking of the cow whose hind
quarters are at Fourth and Town
send streets in San Francisco.
They are able to do things for
themselves-th strong people of
Nevada. They are able to pass
laws, good laws, Impoverished laws,
for the government of the State;
to elect Nevada citizens to the
House of Representatives and the
Senate OF the United States.
And the State will take the
glory to which it is entitled. Its
soil yields under the splendid
touch of industry; its mines are
richer than ever before in its his
tory; its manhood and its woman
hood are as brave and as pure as
In the olden time. Nevada, with
corruption driven out of its pol
itics, is really to be what its found
ers hoped, one of the most glowing
stars in the eternal constellation
of the Union sky.

4 l5oFGIuIuFhl, anu the aQmlnjSCf atlOI
of which the Vice-President is part
is bound to give effect to these prin.
ciples and policies. The primary duty
of the Vice-President to be always
ready to take up the burden of the
Presidency if occasion requires, car.
ries with it the duty to be always ready
to continue unbroken the policies
which the people have entrusted to the
administration for execution. For the
due performance of this duty the Vice
President should be familiar with the
conduct of affairs by the administra-
tion as it proceeds, part of it's coun-
sells, and imbued with a knowledge of
its labors, it's perplexities and it's mo-
mate association and confidence and
sympathy Too often it has happened
that after excited contests for the pres
idential nomination the candidate for
Vice-President has been selected from
the defeated faction for the purpose Of
appeasing their resentment, and that
after election he has remained antago-
nistic in spirit, and stranger to the
counsels of the President whom he
may be called upon to succeed. Hap
PLY we are now in no such case. The
people would fain see again such rela-
tions Of sympathy and loyal helpful
ness for the public good as existed be-
tween President Mckinley and Vice
President Hobart; and the personal re-
lations between President Roosevelt
and yourself, your mutual esteem and
good understanding assure us that
these happy conditions will come again
after the fourth of next March. We
count upon your wisdom and expert
ence and loyal aid as an element of
ever present strength in the coming ad-
ministration.
GAS to the supreme responsibility of
the Vice-Presidency in case of success
sion to the Presidency, we shall all
pray, and no one more earnestly than
yourself, that it may not come to you.
But we are not at liberty to ignore
the possibility that it may come. Sad
and bitter experience admonishes us
that provision for succession to the
Presidency is no idle form. Of the last
twelve presidents elected by the peo-
pie of the United States five-nearly
ne-half-have died in Office and have
been succeeded by Vice-Presidents. A
serious obligation rests upon the polit-
ical parties which select the candidates
between whom the people must choose,
to see that they nominate men for this
possible succession who have the
strength of body and mind and charac-
ter which shall enable them, if occa-
sion comes, to take up the burdens
of the great presidential office, to en-
dure it's trying and exhausting de-
mands, to meet its great responsible
ties, and with firm hand and clear WIS.,
ion to guide the government Of the
Country until the people can express
their choice again.
"Our opponents of the Democratic
Party have signally failed to perform
this duty. They have nominated as
their candidate for the Vice-Presidency
an excellent gentleman, who was born
during the presidency of James Mon
roe, and who before the 4th of March
next will be in the eighty-second year
lof his age Before the next admins

". FAIRBANKS
RECEIVES NOTIFICATION
Vice Presidential Nomi-
nee Was Given an Ovation Today
At indianapolis When Apprised of
His Choise---Speech a Masterpiece.

Indianapolis, Aug. 3.-Charles w
Fairbanks, senior United States sen.
ator from Indiana, was today formally
notified of his nomination for the vice.
presidency of the United States by the
Republican national convention. The
notification address was made by Elihu
Root, ex-secretary of war. The exer-
| cises were held on the wide veranda
of the beautiful Fairbanks home in the
presence of the notification committee,
state officials, the Indiana Republican
congressional delegation, and other in
vited guests.
Fully 5000 persons were gathered at
the residence when Senator Fairbanks
received the committee. There was a
demonstration which lasted several
minutes. Elihu Root then delivered
the formal notification. He said
Senator Fairbanks:
"The Committee which now waits
upon you was appointed by the Nation
al Convention of the Republican Party
held in Chicago in June, and it's agree
able duty is to notify you of your NOM
ination as the Republican candidate
for the Office of Vice-President of the
United States for the term to begin
on the 4th day of March, 1905.
"We give you formal notice of that
nomination with assurance of the undi-
vided and hearty support of the great
Party which has executed the peoples
will in the government Of this Coun-
try for the better part of the last half
century. The nomination comes to
you in accordance with the best meth
DDS and practices of representative
government. 1t was the result of long
and earnest consideration and discus
sion by the members of the Conven-
ton. 1t was not the chance product
of an excited hour, and it was not upon
the demand of any powerful influence,
political or otherwise, constraining the
judgments of the delegates. 1t was
not made for the purpose of conciliat-
ing possible malcontents, or of swell
ing the campaign fund of the Party.
No bargains or intrigues contributed
to it. No suppressions Of the truth
or misleading of the Convention as to
your principles and opinions were
necessary to bring it about. 1t was
the deliberate, informed and intelli-
gent judgment Of the delegates from
every state and territory, and it was
their unanimous Judgment.
1T is a great Office to which you are
called. John Adams, and Thomas JEFF
ferson, and George Clinton, and John
G. Calhoun, and Martin Van Buren,
and many others whose names are IL
lustrious in the history of our country,
have filled it. 1t is an Office Of high
dignity and immediate, ever present
Importance. The credit and honor of
our Country are greatly concerned in
the character and conduct of the man
who presides over the Senate of the
United States-that powerful and au-
gust body, of which you are already
so experienced, so useful and so hon
ored member.
"But the Vice-President has other
grave duties of imperative obligation.
When the people elect President un-
der our political system, they do not
merely select the man for the office;
they give their approval to certain
controlling principles and policies of

HOME SCHOOLS
sussex Republican Offers to
Aid People Who Want
Piano for Georgetown

Interest in The Evening Journals
piano contest, through which two Del
aware schools will receive fine musical
Instruments absolutely free, is growing
rapidly. one Of the contestants is the
Georgetown High School which has, up
to this time rolled up only a compara-
tivoly small number of votes.
In referring to the contest the Sus-
sex Republican, published at George
town, says:
"The Wilmington Evening Journal
offers two fine pianos as prizes to two
schools in Delaware that receive the
largest number Of votes by means OF
coupons cut from the daily issues of
that paper. The Georgetown High
School has also entered into the COM
petition, but is far below some Of the
others. II those interested will send
their coupons to the Sussex Republican
they win duly be forwarded. The con-
test will close March 81 and the friends
Of the school should not be idle"
While some votes have recently been
sent to The Evening Journal from
Georgetown the most of the coupons
have been sent for some other school.
If Georgetown people get together With
the idea that they We're going to have
one Of the pianos offered by The Even
ing Journal they could find they had
an exceptional opportunity Of winning
