Washington, June 21.-Secretary Cor

tional Convention.
Advices received by President Roose-

Secretary Cortelyous selection as ma

It is pointed out that much of the
opposition that existed to Mr.. Cortel-

was based on the statement made in
various forms that he was one time a
Democrat, and that he is at heart a
free trader. A high official of the gov
ernment, who has known Mr.. Cortel-
you for many years, tonight authori-
zed a statement concerning his political
record, which in fairness and as a
matter of record is here given:

father and grandfather were Republi-
cans of the staunchest kind. All the

Chicago, June 21.-Without a disturb
tion, the first days programme of the
Republican National Convention, was
carried off like clock work. Not a
jaring sound was heard. not false
step taken. 1t was an assembly of
non-combatitive delegates which car
ried into effect, without the thunderous
demonstration usually attendant upon
political conventions, a purpose that
had been clearly defined
An organization was perfected pre-
paratory to the adoption of a platform
and the making of nominations in the
succeeding days of the convention.
From the quiet yet unmistakable en-
thusiasm provoked by Senator Fair
banks arrival at the Coliseum his
nomination for vice president is but
little less assured than the nomination
of Theodore Roosevelt for President.
The keynote to the campaign of 1904
was sounded by Hon. Elihu Root in his
speech as temporary chairman. His
address was a review of the accom-
plishments of the present administra-
ton and defense Of the Republican
policies in general. When that had
been delivered and various working
committees dispatched to their labors,
the business of the first days session
was complete.

casion. Mention of President Roosevelt
was responded to with hearty, though
not prolonged, applause. The lack of
contest eliminated the necessity for
enthusiastic display of feeling and the
mild cheering and rather listless hand
clapping which was the greeting given
impartially to national figures of the
party was all. probably, that could be
expected under the circumstances.
The lack of public interest in the
convention was evidenced by the large
number of spectators seats vacant.
Seats at former Republican conven-
tions usually brought a premium. To-
day spectators offered them, but
there were few takers, and as the
hour approached for the convention
to assemble they sold for a song. A
wilderness of vacant seats was in the
gallery and on the Mezzanine floor,
where not more than two-thirds of the
chairs were occupied. The first floor
was we'll filled. The picture was one
of good order, where sergeants-at-arms
and policemen were not needed.
Roosevelt and Hanna Pictures.
From a decorative point of view the
Coliseum was a success. The architec-
ture of the imposing structure ds pc
culiarly adapted to the interior dress
given it. Flags and bunting were
used profusely, but in good taste. Foil
age and palms softened the general
color scheme and formed a setting
for sixty large engravings of President
Roosevelt used in festooning the ma
tiopal colors above the galleries and
ranging entirely around the hall.
