and the national ticket goes before the
people on the declaration of principles
as agreed upon by the committee on
resolutions.
The olly resolution that called forth
any considerable discussion in COM
nlittee was the tariff plank, but ma
jority of the committee favored the
stand pat policy. The proposition
to advocate tariff revision was turned
down both by the subcommittee and
by the full committee on resolutions.
AS finally adopted the tariff resolu-
ton was practically the same as that

the same time pledglng the party to

But it never before reveled in such
blaze of beautiful decoration as embel-
fishes the proceedings of this conven-
ton.
The color scheme, carried out with
bunting, flags and great streamers of
ribbon, was in gold and white The
flag, of course was everywhere, but
in the scheme OF decorations it figured
in a much more distinct and pleasing
way than generally, full advantage
being taken of the presence of the
vast iron Orders that span the roof to
make this part of the display particu-
larly effective.
There was no dearth of music, and
it ranged from the classical to rag time
and from sacred to comic without
much hindrance.
There was a happy element of this,
as of all Republican gatherings-the
man who was present at the conven-
ton that nominated Lincoln. He was
as numerous as the survivors of the
charge of the six hundred and you
could find him in every hotel lobby.

The Cost of Living.

There is no escape for the Republi-
cans from the stand pat position on
the tariff taken by them. They are
compelled by events to contend that
prosperity is widespread But Secre-
tary Shaw in opening the Republican
campaign in Delaware under the aus
pieces of the Wilmington Roosevelt
Workingmen's Club, endeavored to
make Labor" see that their welfare
depended upon the success of the Re
publicans, whose policy had produced
high prices and as he claimed CORE
spondingly high wages and steady EN-
ployment. Secretary Shaw is an adept
at telling half-truths and then build
ing thereon an argument to prove his
contention. He said to the Whining
ton workingman. Universal and con
slant employment at reasonable wages.
even in the face of high priced living
expenses. is preferable to employment
to only a portion of our people, though
at the same wages and at much re-
duced living expenses"
Are the workingmen of Wilmington
blessed with Universal and constant
employment as Secretary Shaw would
have them believe? The reports of the
condition of the ship-building industry,
car shops, wooden mills and some other
industries which are carried on at Will
mington, do not by any means sup
port the Shaw theory that employ
ment is universal and constant" but

ROOM FOR THE NEGRO,
But the Governor of Louisiana Says
He Must Keep His Place.

But the Governor of Louisiana Says
He Must Keep His Place.
In his inaugural speech at Baton
Rouge, La, Gov. Newton G. Blanchard
spoke as follows of the negro question
Mob law and defiance of law will not
be tolerated. Lynching will not be per
mitted under any circumstances, if it be
possible for the military at the command
of the Governor to prevent it. Sheriffs
will be held to the strictest accounta-
bility possible under the law for the
safety from mob violence of persons in
their custody.
s'The negro is here He is a man and
citizen. He is useful and valuable in
his sphere. Within that sphere he must
be guaranteed the equal protection of
the law, and his education along proper
lines-mainly agricultural and industrial
is at once duty and necessity. He
must be protected in his right to live
peaceably and quietly, in his right to
labor and enjoy the fruits of his labor.
He must be encouraged to industry and
taught habits of thrift.
mo approach toward social equality
or social recognition will ever be tolerat-
ed in Louisiana. Separate schools, sep
arato churches, separate cars, separate
places of entertainment will be enforced.
Racial distinction and integrity must be
preserved.
but there is room enough in this
broad southland, where proper lines of
limitation and demarcation, for the two
races to live on terms of mutual trust,
mutual help, good understanding and
concord The South asserts its ability
to handle and solve the negro question
on humanitarian lines-those of justice
and of right. We brook no interference
from without 1t is up to the South to
handle and solve it as to furnish no oc
casion for such interference

awaited with great interest no one ex-
pected them to contain anything new.
Despite the absence OF a contest for
the nomination the convention was
extremely interesting 1t was as full
of thrilling and exciting incidents as
the convention at Philadelphia in
1900 Like that it bestowed its high
est honor upon 3 candidate whose
nomination had already been made by
the popular WILL and as was the case
with the last national convention the
only question was as to Vice Presi-
dent
Death has hit the Republican party
hard since the last great national
gathering. Mckinley, cut down at the
moment of his greatest strength:
Hanna. who signed the call under
which the convention meets, and at the
time fast becoming the idol of his
party; Quay, leader in the Repubi-
can councils for a generation-these
are three names the thought of which
cast shadow over the convention and
genuine spirit of sorrow.
IutIG ID llV dOuOl mat lLC lcEIkDiy
sudden death of President Mckinley
at time when the country was start
ing out along an untrodden pathway
has brought about a change in the
manner in which party leaders regard
the post of Vice President 1t Is doubt
full If either the Republicans or the
Democrats will ever again consent to
name for the second place on the ticket
an untried man.
No notable oratorical efforts were
looked for in this convention, though
two or three of the men selected to
second the Presidential nomination had
the ability to deliver stirring utter
ances. Not since 1880, at the Nation
al Convention in Chicago, when Conk-
ling and Garfield spoke. has national
Republican gathering been prolific of
notable addresses. Indeed, with the
sole exception of these speeches and
the one delivered in 1876 by Robert G.
Ingersoll in his famous advocacy of
the candidacy of Blaine, the Republi-
cans have never in the history of the
party pTOQuCe0 Il uOleNOEluy COuNeIl-
ton address, a fact, however, that
does not seem to have made very much
difference at the polls On the other
hand, the most magnetic and remark
able convention speech ever delivered
that by Mr.. Bryan in 1S96-while it
rang from one end of the country to
the other for months, could not land
him In the White House.
But there never was better conven-
ton hall for a speaker than the Coli
scum. The splendid preparations for
the gathering did not fail to take in
the question OF acoustics, and the man
who got on chair or on the platform
and faced the great audience was able
to make his voice heard distinctly by
every one Of the thousands before hin
