the man to bear their standard and to
lead the way. No higher badge was
eVer yet conferred. But great as the
honor is, the circumstances which sur
round it make that honor even more
profound. You have come from every
state and territory in this vast domain.
The country Il the town have weld
with each other in sending here their
contributions to this splendid throng.
Every highway in the land is leading
here and crowded with the members
of that great party which G cs in this
splendid city the symbol of its rise
and power. Within this unexampled
multitude is every rank and condition
of free men. every creed and Occupa-
ton. But today a common purpose
and desire have engaged us all. and
from every nook and corner of the
country rises but a single choice to fill
the most exalted office in the world.
He is no stranger waiting in the shade
to be called suddenly into public light.
The American people have seen him
for many years and always where the
fight was thickest and the greatest
need was felt. He has been alike on
s%picuous in the pursuits of peace and
in the arduous stress of war. No man
now living will forget the spring of
'9S, when the American mind was 50
inflamed Inc American patriotism so
aroused; when among all the eager
! citizens surging to the front as sold
iers. the nan whom this convention
has already in its heart was among
the first to hear the call and answer

afraid of war; faithful to every private
obligation yet first to volunteer at the
sign of national peril; a leader in civil
life and yet so quick to comprehend the
arts of war that he grew almost in a
day to meet the high exactions of com
mand. There is nothing which so
tests IA man as great and unexpected
danger. He may pass his life amid
ordinary scenes and what he Is or does
but few will ever know. But when the
crash comes or the flames break out,
a moments time will single out
the hero in the crowd. A flash of light
ming in the night will reveal what
years or daylight have not discovered
to the eye. And so the flash of the
Spanish war revealed that lofty

American heart so loves and which

Tremendous Enthusiasm.

Chicago, H., June 23.-This time
the expected has happened. The ma
tional republican convention closed
its labors a few minutes after 3 O'Clock
this afternoon n the delegates on
the floor. as well as the crowds in the
gallery, appeared worn out by the en-
thusiasm, the excitement, the wild
pandemonium that followed the nom
nation for president of Theodore
Roosevelt and of Senator Fairbanks
of Indiana for vice president. Though
the element of surprise was lacking,
there was no limit to the enthusiasm.
Following the individual nominations,
the old wal horses of the party, like
Cannon of Illinois, Spooner of Wis
consin, Depew of New York, went tear
ing about like boys. The venerable
speaker of the house, dancing about
the great hall with a torn flag which
was used when Lincoln was nom
mated. its presence and the knowl
edge of what 1t was, set the galleries
on fire and for Ave minutes hurrahs
and cheers and the waving of hands
swayed the crowd and made a scene
thrilling, picturesque, eventful. No
sooner was this incident over than
three men appeared on the platform
carrying an immense crayon portrait
of President Roosevelt, which they
held up before the convention. This
provoked another wild demonstration

After the announcement of the ami
versary celebration of the foundation
of the republican party at jackson
Mich. July 6, former Governor Black
of New York, amid enthusiastic ap,
plause, assembled the platform to nom,
mate Theodore Roosevelt for the
presidency.
Governor Black walked to the front
as oon as Alabama, the first on the
roll of states, had yielded place to
New York and three cheers given.
He started to speak, but the noise con
tinued three minutes before he could
resume. The speakers voice was not
heard throughout the hall. His elo-
quent tribute to Roosevelt brought the
convention to its feet, but Black
spoke on, though only a few heard his
words. Flags were waived through
out the hall. the Indiana delegation
, 1904-06-23

did. and today's convention had about
it just as much thrilling enthusiasm
as any that preceded. Some of the
interesting incidents was a young man
called out the name of Roosevelt, and
he did it in such a measured tone that
the multitude enjoyed it and Joined
in the Hes all right cry.
Various characters in the big hall
were carried on the stage and given
a reception. A colored boy named
Brown of Georgia was given a frantic
reception when he jumped on the
stage waving a small national flag.
Louise A. Roberts, from the California
delegation, was caught up by the In
diana delegation when she unfoiled a
flag and cried: Fairbanks" and 9TH
ers were being introduced when
Speaker Cannon forced his way to the
front and insisted upon order. The
convention had been wild for fully
thirty minutes and the delegates were
getting exhausted. 1t took nearly ff-
teen minutes more to quiet the great
audience down. The sergeant-at-arms
and his deputies worked hard to force
the delegates to their seats. Senator
Beveridge of Indiana, in his seconding
speech, was the only n that was
quietly listened to, and that was
simply because the convention was
tired out with its furious enthusiasm.
1t had grown very hot in the audito-
rum, and everybody had wilted col.
lars. red faces and perspiring bodies,
but it was a great and notable and
excited convention.
, 1904-06-23

since the origin of that great move
ment from which sprang the spirit
which has been the leading impulse
in American politics for half a century.
In that movement. which vas both a
creation and an example, were those
great characters which endowed the
republican party at its birth with the
attributes of justice, equality and pro
gress, which have held it to this hour
in line with the highest sentiments
Of mankind. From these men We have
inherited the desire. and to their men,
ory We owe the resolution, that those
great schemes of government and hui
manity, inspired by their patriotism,
and established by their blood, shall
remain as the fixed and permanent en-
blem of their labors, and the abiding
signal of the liberty and progress of
the race.
There are many new IN in these
days. but the republican party needs
no new title. 1t stands now where it
stood at the beginning. Memory alone
is needed to tell the source from which
the inspirations Of the country flow.
A drowsy memory would be as guilty
now as a sleeping Waterman when the
enemy is astir. The name of the re-
publican party stands over every door
where a righteous cause was born. Its
members have gathered around every
movement, no matter how weak, if
inspired by high resolve. Its flag for
more than fifty years has been the
sign of hope on every spot where lib
erty was the word. That party needs
no new name or platform to designate
its purposes. 1t is now as is has been,
equipped, militant and in motion. The
problems of every age that age must
solve. Great causes impose great de-
mands. but never in any enterprise
have the American people failed, and
never in any crisis has the republi-
can party failed to express the con-
science and intelligence of that people.
The public mind is awake both to its
opportunities and its dangers. No
where in the world. in any era, did
citizenship mean more than it means
today in America. Men of courage and
sturdy character are ranging them
selves together with a unanimity sci
dom seen. There is no excuse for
cropping in the dark, for the light is
plain to him who will but raise his
eyes. The American people believe
in a man or party that has convictions
and knows why. They believe that
what experience has proved it is idle
to resist. A wise man is any foo
about t o die. But there is a wisdom
which with good fortune may guide the
living and the strong. That wisdom
springs from reason, observation ant
experience. Guided by these thi'
thing is plain, and young men may re
ly upon it, hat the history and pur
pose have described, rising even tt
the ssence and aspirations Of patriot
ism. find their best concrete exampl

voted the Democratic ticket, and the
blacks were responsible for the cleo

THE SPENCER sEEDLEss APPLE

THE SPENCER SEEDLESS APPLE
Horticulturists have been to a great
err or less degree interested in the work
OF ]. F. Spencer of Grand Juu ction
Colorado. whose success in originating
seedless apple tree that will propa-
gate appears to have passed the point
of any possible doubt, seedlsss ap-
pie too, of high commercial value, as
is shown in specimens exhibited at
the Worlds Fair. There have been
seedless apple tress found in several
states Of the Tn ion. We are advised
that one is still to be found near Blue
Ridge lad, on the farm OF William
Gehaumer But there are two points
OF prime importance about the Spen-
Ger tree that NJ other seedless apple
tree possesses, namely, the CONNER
cial quality Of the fruit and the fact
that it might be propagated by bud
ding and grating, the trees thus Sc.
cured also producing seedless fruit.
The i'm portauce o / these two points
need not be urged upon the practical
horticulturists
The seedIesS apple tree came out Of
Mr.. Spencsrs familiarity with horti-
culture in its broader aspects and IN
particular out of his acquaintance
with the seedless oranges, during the
time that wond eriul product Of horti
cul tural skill was in its development,
bu I long before its present perfection
was reached, Applying the same gen
eral principles to the apple that were
followed in the case of the seedless
orange, Mr.. Spenser succeeded in
getting five apple trees that bore tfuit
practically without seeds. From these
he began 5udding aud grating to dis
cover if happily they might reproduce
themselves. For twelve yerrs he lab
ored, patiently ana in silence, tsillng
no man of his dreams or his achiev-
ments, and not until he was certain
that his efforts we're rewarded by ac-
tual success, did he tell the wo:ld
what his work had been and what
great thing he had done.
Now an archard of fifty-hve trees
yields annually large, red fne-favor-
ed apples, having no seeds IN them,
Some of these seedless trees that in
terlock with nearby trees having
seeds contain seeds, but they are
placed hit or miss, in the fruit, seldom
near the core, but sometimes appear
ing wirhiu an eighth of an inch OF
the surface. 1t is only where the poll
en- of the ordinary tree has in1ue nee d
the seedless crop that the seeds are
found.
These seedless apples grow as large
as the ordinary winte apple ard con-
tain as much juice. They are one OF
the latest varieties to mature in Col
orado, in fact, are not thoroughly
ripened before about the 18th Of Oct
ODER. But the lateness Of the season
