as Mr.. Edwards concluded, and he
came forward, leading the compact
form of Gov. Bradley. II introduce to
you," said the chairman, 1.-The gentle
man who comes from a state where
they take their politics as they take
their whisky-straight."
That the sentiment was favorably re-
ceived was evidenced by a hearty burst
of applause.
Gov. Bradley is the equal of the first
three speakers in the carrying power of
his voice. He instantly riveted atten-
ton and held it throughout. His an
nolIncement that the Democratic party
had abandoned their Moses and was
unable to find a Joshua was met with
loud cheers. His appeal for aid for the
"Disfranchised Republicans OF the
South" and his announcement that
they looked to President Roosevelt as
the man who had refused to close the
door of hope in their faces, raised the
hearers once more to enthusiasm.
Cheers greeted Chairman Cannon s
announcement, 1.-THE chair recognizes
Joseph b. Cotton of Minnesota" and
increased as he added 81 take pleasure
in introducing to you one of those
young men of the republic who are

Mr.. Cotton has a voice and he used
it. His was another of the speeches
that was heard in the remotest nook
of the hall and the fact that they were
able to hear the speaker caused the
galleries to cheer repeatedly.
The hall began to grow oppressively
warm, but the enthusiasm had not yet
melted, and Mr.. Cotton's vigorous
declaration of Republican principles
and his jibes at the Democracy caught
the fancy of his hearers and were
approved by applause. His concluding
words, seconding the name of that
great doer of things. Theodore Roose-
Welt" were warmly applauded.

CHARLES WARREN FAIRBANKS.
Republican Nominee for the Vice
Presidency.


Presidency.
Senator, Charles Warren Fairbanks,
Republican nominee for Vice Presi-
dent. was an Ohio farm boy,
and his earlier years were
spent on the farm near Union
willie Center, where he was born, May
Ii, 1852. His parents were poor, and
the boy was put to work early. First
it was the chores, then he worked in
the fields, and later behind the plow
and as an assistant TO his father in
wagon making.
Young Fairbanks parents were
Methodists, who, having endowed their
son with massive physical frame and
force, sought early to make him mem
tally and morally sound. The district
school and the circuit church were the
facilities at hand, but the term
Of school was less than five months
and the preacher came at irregular in
tervals. The boy was given the les
sons, however, in secular and religious
training.
BY farm work and wagon maxi
ing young Fairbanks had saved
s41 by the time he reached the age of
is years With 1T and one suit of
clothes he Travelled to Delaware, Ohio,
where he entered Ohio Wesleyan Uni
versity. The necessity of closely guard
ing his SAL lead to a rooming and
patching" alliance with another ambi-
tious young man. Their culinary edu-
cation was limited to the preparation
of baken potatoes, mush, bread and bat
ter cakes. On this they lived. Fairbanks
turned to account his rudimentary
knowledge of carpentery by working on
Saturdays for local contractor for
s1.25 a day His employer was a coll
ored man and all his co-workers were
colored.
A few weeks after young Fairbanks
arrived at college. il Is related, he fell
and split his only trousers beyond i'm
mediate repair. II was necessary for
him 10 borrow a pair from fellow
student and the loan had 20 be con-
tinued because he was denied credit
for a new pair a. the stores IN the
town. He had 20 send home for his
mother 20 make him another pair.

CONCLUDING MOMENTS
OF THE CONVENTION.

Senator Beveridge, silk-hatted and
with a flag in his hand, led round Of
cheers. Great confusion reigned and
il was difficult to control the proceed
ings. The convention was on its feet
and cries for Fairbanks" were heard.
n was with difficulty that the chair
man obtained order, so hearty was the
demonstration for Fairbanks. Order
could not be restored until Mr.. Cam
non announced that Senator Fairbanks
was not in the hall.
Senator Dolliver was recognized and
offered a resolution providing that
Chairman Cannon and Temporary
Chairman Root shall respectively head
the committees to notify President
Roosevelt and Senator Fairbanks or
their nomination. The resolution was
agreed to with will.
Resolutions of thanks, onered by
Senator Hepburn of Idaho, were agreed
TO. in which were mentioned the tenn
norary and permanent chairman, Can
non and Root: the secretary or the
convention, his assistants, the SER
geant at arms and his deputies.
Announcement was made of the COM
rnittees to notify the candidates OF thelr
nominations AS is usual in all con-
ventions the closing moments were full
of confusion. The delegates adjourned
themselves, while the officers struggled
through with the routine that was
necessary to complete the record. The
galleries were empty by the time the
clerks had shouted the resolutions, and
only here and there did handful or
delegates wait to see the end of the
Republican National Convention or

Graeme Stewart of Illinois was recog-
nized and moved, That the convention

Chairman Cannon put this motion
amid great confusion as the delegates
and spectators were leaving the hall.

Chairman Cannon announced that
George A. Knight of California would
second the nomination.
The California delegation showed
that it was prepared for the occa-
sion. The old stage coach, long
drawn yell. 'Wahoo' was echoed
through the hall and a California ban
ner followed by a huge wreath of
flowers was borne through the hall, as
Mr.. Knight was proceeding to the
platform.
Mr.. knight was introduced by Chair
man Cannon. He had a voice which
penetrated the furthest recesses of
the hall and rolled back in echoes from
the iron roof. AS he began a voice
from afar shouted, Not so loud. +"
This was a touch which the convention
appreciated, and it gave itself up to
a hearty laugh.
When knight said every man should
have the liberty to work and make his
home the convention cheered.
"No, no. were the shouted responses
of the convention to Mr.. knights dec
laration, Socialism can have no place
among us. Anarchy cannot live in
America" Mr.. Knight proved to be
a phrase-maker.-
"Cowardice. duplicity and dishonesty
are not impulsive." shouted Mr..
Knight. Theodore Roosevelt is i'm
pulsve. He hypnotizes obstacles. :"
''Wah-o-o,'' again sounded from the
California delegation and the conven-
ton took up the cry amid laughing ap-
plause.
Again Mr.. knight touched the re-
sponsive chord when he claimed, re-
ferring to the Panama canal:
Theodore Roosevelt gave Uncle Sam
a job. Uncle Sam wanted it and he
took it. and Uncle Sam belongs to the
union too"
Mr.. Knight was surrounded by an
enthusiastic throng as he left the plat

BEvERIDGE SECONDS
R00SEvELT'S NOMINATION.

Cheers followed and were increased
when Mr.. Cannon recognized Senator
Beveridge of Indiana, whom he intro
duced in these words:
4"Gentlenen of the Conventions:
have the honor to introduce to you
gentleman who you all know, a son of
Indiana, who, when he has a message,
insists upon a hearing, and when he
speaks the people are enlightened and
enthused."
Senator Beveridge in seconding the
nomination, said: Theodore Roosevelt,
like William Mckinley, is the nomi-
nee. of the American fireside. So were
Washington and Jefferson in the early
time; so was Andrew Jackson when
he said The Union. 1t must be pre-
served so was Abraham Lincoln when,
the republic saved, be babe us bind
UP the nations wound and Grant,
when, from victory's very summit his
lofty words, let us have peace voiced
the spirit of the hour and the peoples
prayer. When nominated by parties,
each of these great Presidents was, at
the periods named. already chosen by
the public judgment. And so to-day,
the Republican party, whose strength
is in its obedience to the will of the
American people, merely executes
again the decree which comes to it
from the American home in naming
Theodore Roosevelt as our candidate.
1.-THE American people will elect him
because, in word they know that
he does things the people want done;
does things, not merely discusses them
docs things only after discussing
them-but does things; and does only
those things the people would have
him do. This is characteristically
American; for wherever he is, the
American is he who achieves.
"On every question all men know.
where he stands. Americans, frank
themselves. demand frankness in their
servants. Uncertainty is the death of
business. The people can always get
along IL they know where they are
and whittier they are going. His past
is his proof. Therefore, Indiana sec
onds the nomination of Theodore
Roosevelt"
Long before he had concluded his
speech Senator Beveridge's collar was
a wilted band, and the perspiratlon
was streaming down his face, but his
voice lost none of its carrying power
and his manner none OF Its energy.
Senator Beveridge's concluding words.
Indiana seconds the name Of Roose-
welt" released the waiting cheer. the
band and the flags. II was short

restored.

Government Seeking Bids for Carry

Every four years the government res
news its contracts for the carrying II the
mails. The existing contracts iu tnis
part of the country expire July 1, 1905,
and the department is now advertising
for proposals for the following tour years.
Proposals viii be received at the Off 70

until 80 p. M, Dec. 1. Lists OF r9utes,

There are three star routes running out
OF Ellsworth, three rural free delivery
routes and one steamboat route. In the
summer time there is an additional rou,e
between Ellsworth and Southwest Har-
Dor, including Mt. Desert.
1t is the star routes that are attracting
the attention of liverymen and others
who desire to enter Uncle Sans service.
OF the two longest routes one is be-
tween fremont, which is at the extreme
southern end OF Mt. Desert Island, and
Ellsworth; the other Is between I'll sm orth
and Great Pond, taking in WalthanI,
Mariaville, Otis, Amherst aud Aurora
one mail day each way.
The next longest route is between
Ellsworth and Bluebili. This route now
has two mails a day each way, and in-
cludes East Surry and Surry.
While the conditions OF these mali
carrying contracts are stricier nowadays
than formerly, the pay is most liberal,
and lettings are becoming more and
more attractive, all Of which is tending
to improve the service.
The compensation of the railroads is
determined by weight, and once every
four years, previous to the lettings, alb
mails to and from railroad trains are care
fully weighed. This weig hing is now
going on throughout Maine
