MIR. ROOTS BLuNDERs,

The indianapolis Sentinel speaks OF
the notification of Senator Fairbanks
of his nomination for vice president
rs the most mournful political event
In the history of Indiana politics. Not
withstanding every effort was made
by the use of brass bands and other
agencies to stir up the enthusiasm o!
the faithful and rally crowd for the
procession to Senator Fairbanks sub
urban residence. only about three
hundred could be mustered, including
the notification committee. political
club members, prominent Republi-
cans and state officials.
The address of Mr.. Root was a per
functory ceremony without any of the
glamour of that at Cagamore Hill
He said of the nomination: III was
not the chance product of an excited
hour. and it was not the demand of
any powerful intiuence-political or
otherwise the judg
ment of the delegates. 1t was not
made for the purpose of conciliating
possible malcontents or swelling the
campaign fund of the party. No bar
gains or intrigues contributed to it
Ii must have been a singular ia
tuity which impelled a man of the
profound ability accorded Mr.. Root
by his admirers to enter into such a
needless defense of the character OF
such man as Senator Fairbanks is
conceded to be, and in officially mott
flying him of his nomination to accom-
pany the act with a certificate that IL
had not come TO him as the result Of |
a bargain or as quid pro quo for a .
to the campaign fund. |
Every one who knows anything is 1
aware that Senator Fairbanks owed 1
his nomination to mis- ability as a \
senator, his prominece in the councils |
Of the party, and especially to his |
character as the antithesis of that of |
Roosevelt. His geographical location
and the importance of the vote OF In.
diana may also have had weight. The
matter was quite as well settled be-
fore the Chicago convention as that
Of the higher place. The name of no
one else was mooted except that OF
Mr.. Hit of Illinois. and if it had ever
been seriously considered the fac.
tons disclosed by the state conven-
lion demonstrated its impracticabili.
