THEODORE ROOSEVELT

Only one contest of any importance
was presented to the credentials com.
mittee, and that grew out of the Wis
consin situation. 1t was expected
that q bitter fight would be made by
Governor LaFollette and his following
before the committee. The quarrel
was kept out of the national conven.
tion, and will be carried into the
-tate campaign instead.
The keynote to the campaign Of
904 was sounded by Elihu Root in
lis speech as temporary chairman.
His address was q review of the &C.
.omplishments of the present admin
stration and defense of Republican
policies in general. When that had
been delivered and the various work.

labors, the business Of the first days

The first day may properly be called
Roots day, and II that is so the Sec
ond day must Of necessity be known
as Cannon's day, because he was the
central figure in the proceedings Of
the convention.
From the standpoint of political i'm.
portance the adoption of the party
platform was the event OF the day.
1t contained declarations Of party
policy that are to form the basis of
much of the oratory in the coming
campaign. But the permanent chair
mans personality almost overshad-
owed the platform.
One of the remarkable features con.
cerning the adoption of the platform
was the fact that 1t had been the sub.
ject Of administrative scrutiny and
national interest for many weeks and
was accepted without dissenting
vote.
The full significance Of pledges for
the continuance OF the provisions Of

delayed obedience to the call Mr..

appealed to the delegates. and from

changed to q we'll ordered aud per.

ness Of the day began.
When Senator McComas had com.
pleted the reading of the report from
the committee on credentials, Sena.
| tor Foraker was recognized. He
called the attention of the convention
to the fact that Major General Oster.
haus, a German veteran of the civil
war. was in the hall. and suggested
that he be invited to a seat on the
platform.
The convention cheered the name
of Osterhaus. The Ohio senator
spoke briefly of the part the general
played in the assault upon Missionary
Ridge and of his ala to Sherman In
the latter's march to the sea. The
chairman appointed committee,
which escorted the general to the
platform. where he was introduced To
the convention as "Sherman's corps
commander" In q decidedly Ger.

thanked the convention for the honor
accorded him. He mentioned the fact
that he had been present when Abra.

ing. At this moment the applause
was deafening, the convention rising
to its feet. Still clasping his hard,
Mr.. Root led Mr.. Cannon to the edge
Of the platform and introduced him to
the convention as the man who pre-
sided over the greatest legislative
body in America, with grip so
strong and mind SO clear and a
heart SO sound that he would wle!d

The scene that followed was inspir-

feet and then to chairs, shouting wild

applause subsidized Mr.. Cannon stood
awkwardly facing his audience. In
contrast with this was his appearance
after he had made himself heard and
his magnetism felt.
Speaker Cannon's oratory was de-
cidedly to the likins OF the conven.
ton. He established cordial rela-
tions even before he had uttered a
word. He stood In silence for Q mo.
ment on q tongue-like projection in
the center Of the platform. His face
fascinated. It expressed abundant
humor, strangely blended with virile
puguacity. He was pausing to think
how to begin. His thoughts were pic.

The Weather and River.

The mild weather of yesterday was
followed last night by colder conditions,
and this morning the wind was blowing
from the northeast, producing a raw
temperature. The heavens were OBJ

streets were covered with sleet. Walk

deserted the sidewalks and utilized the

West End in Prophecy.

A correspondent living at Danville,
who signed himself Fairfax" in a
communicative in the Gazette of Tues
day, January IL, 1871 "a third OF a
century ago., uttered some prophecies
concerning West End which are not
likely to materialize, judging from pres
ent appearances. At the time the COM
munication appeared it was proposed to
build the present Washington Southern
Railway around Alexandria and through
West End. The writer, in anticipation
of this, INDUCED in a spasm Of delight
concerning the commercial Importance
which would be impaired to West End
by such a procedure. Among other
things he said the village did not derive
its name from the fact that it was west
OF Alexandria, but from one John West,
who formerly owned the Land in and
around it. The correspondent in his
dreams saw the old Drovers' Hotel
transformed into a busting hosiery and
conductors of palatial trains calling out
"West End" "baggagesmashers, wait
ers and hackmen," the writer said,
Twill be frantically rushing about aud
CRYING aloud" The live stock trade, the
-four and liquor traffic Of West End, ac-
cording to the writer, was to expand
amazingly while large %schooners, as had
been their wont. would ascend Hunting
creek as far as Roberts mill. "a train
of magnificent palace cars drawn by an
elegant engine sweeping along the pleas
ant shores of Hunting Creek" was an
other phantom which glided past
the correspondent in his rapture.
The writer, in conclusion, said "the
whole, combined, will make up a
scene which teggars description"
Thirtv-three years have come and gone

streets of Alexandria. West End has
