ROOSEVELT'S REPLY.
Address of the President Acknowledge
ing Notice OF His Nomination.

oyster Bay, July 27.-President
Roosevelt replied to the notification of
his nomination at Chicago as follows:
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the
Notification Committee:
II am deeply sensible of the high
honor conferred upon me by the rep
reSentatives of the Republican party
assembled in convention, and 1 accept
the nomination for the presidency
with solemn realization of the obli-
cations 1 assume. L heartily approve
the declaration of principles which the
Republican national convention has
adopted, and at some future day L
shall communicate to you, Mr.. Chair
man, more at length and in detail a
formal written acceptance of the NOM
nation.
Three years ago I became presi-
dent because of the death of mr. la
mented predecessor. l then stated
that it was my purpose to carry out
his principles and policies for the hon
or and the interest of the country. To
the best of my ability 1 have kept the
promise thus made. If next Novem-
Der my cOuntrymen confirm at the
polls the action of the convention you
represent, 1 shall. under Providence,
continue to work with an eye single to
the welfare of all our people.
"A party is of worth only in so far
as it promotes the national interest
and every official, high or low, can
serve his party best by rendering to
the people the best service of which
he is capable Effective government
comes only as the result of the loyal
cooperation of many different per
sons The members of a legislative
majority, the officers in the various
departments of the administration,
and the legislative and executive
branches as towards each other, must
work together with subordination of
self to the common end of successful
government. We who have been en-
trusted with power as public servants
during .he past seven years of admin
iStratiOn and legislation now come be-
fore the people content to be judged
by our record of achievement In the
the deed square with the word; and if
we are continued in power we shall
unswervingiy follow out the great lines
of public policy which the Republican
party has already laid down; a public
policy to which we are giving. and
shall give, united, and therefore an
efficient support
A Continuous Policy.
I'm all of this we are more fortunate
for confidence on the ground, which
some express and some seek to have
confidentially understood, that if tri-
umphant they may be trusted to prove
false to every principle which in the
last eight years they have laid down as
very acts of the administration because
of which they ask that the adminiStra-
ton itself be driven from power. Seem
ingly their present attitude as to their
past record is that some of them were
mistaken and others inSincere- We
make our appeal in a wholly different
spirit. We are not constrained to keep
silent on any vital question; we are
divided on no vital question:; our policy
is continuous, and is the same for all

and their alleged fear of your per-
sonality is insignificant as compared
with the personal and partisan carp
ings against Lincoln, Grant and Nc
Kinley when they were clothed with
power by the people. Those whose
only grievance is that you have en-
forced the law and those who carp
my judgment, reap the harvest of sue
cess. The Republican party for you
and under your leadership appeals to
the great body of the people who live
in the sweat of their faces, make the
civilization, control the republic, fight
its battles and determine it's policies,
for approval and continuance in
power.

Speaker J. G. Cannon ON Behalf
OF the Committee
Informs the President OF His
Nomination at Chicago.
A SIMPLE CEREMONY.
Chief Executive Makes Reply
from His Front Porch.
Conclusion of His Address Fol-
lowed by a Reception.

Oyster Bay, L. L, July 27.-President
Roosevelt was notified formally today
of his nomination for the presidency BY
the national Republican convention
The ceremony took place at his country
home at Sycamore Hill, three miles
from this village In accordance with
the presidents wish the ceremony was
made as simple as possible.
The formal notification of the action
of the convention was made on behalf
of a committee representing every state
and territory in the United States by
Mr.. Cannon, the speaker of the house
of representatives.
The day opened with ideal weather
and the arrangements for the ceremony
were completed early. The wide
veranda of the house at Sycamore Hill,
extending almost entirely around the
house was decorated with American
flags hung from pillar to pillar.
In addition, many houses in the
neighborhcod of the Roosevelt home
and in Oyster Bay were draped with
the national colors. Across the main
street of the village there hung large
Roosevelt and Fairbanks banner. Only
three of the members of the committee
were present.
Included among the invited guests
were men prominent in all walks of
life. Those present numbered about
125. Lack of facilities prevented the
accommodation of a large assemblage.
On arrival at Sycamore Hill the COM
mitteemen were received by President
Roosevelt, Mrs Roosevelt and Nation
al Chairman George B. Cortelyou. At
the conclusion of the informal recep-
ton the ceremony of notification
began.
When Speaker Cannon rose to de-
liver his speech of notification he was
greeted with applause.
At the close of Mr.. Cannon's ad-
dress. the president advanced to the
~eranda railing and standing under a
great festoon of American flags de-
1ievered his address in response to the
notification AS he faced the assem-
blage he was warmly applauded.
At the conclusion of the address
President Roosevelt held an informal
reception and received the congratu-
speech.

WORKING DRUGGISTS.
Some One Promising the Whisky
Stores Immunity at a Price.

The druggists of the state, and To
peka as well, are on the anxious list
at the present. In addition to the
anxiety which Chief StahI has occa-
stoned by his action in raiding two
of the drug stores in this city, the
State Temperance league and the
State Pharmaceutical association are
out with their prying instruments
looking into the record of a number of
the druggists over the state who are
suspected of having made illegal liquor
sales. w. E. Sheriff. at the head of
the State Pharmaceutical association,
wrote recently to County Attorney
Hungate stating that several of the
druggists of Topeka had been found
and at the same time furnishing the
county attorney with the names. J.
* Codding, attorney for the State
Temperance league, was in the city
few days ago asking that injunctions
be issued against two parties at Ross
Vile who were charged with the
offense.
A great many of the druggists were
anxious yesterday and so expressed
themselves. Especially is this true of
those who have been travelling upon
the edge One of the prominent drug
gists stated yesterday with refer
StahI was proceeding against the
druggists, that in his estimation
but few if any druggists in the city
were entirely free of guilt. The clause
in which no other than a registered
or assistant is allowed to
sell liquor is the one which is violated
the most regularly.
A man has been going the rounds
of the drug stores claiming that he
could afford them protection render
ing them immune from any raid in
connection with violation of the new
warrants. Where he got his power
to make such a promise is not known.
The scheme was to let in only a GER
tain number of the drug stores who
in turn were to pay a monthly tribute
of 300.

this morning postponed the hearing
of the restraining order against Sun
day baseball until Thursday morning

Judge Hazen of the district court
is in Topeka and with him in the
county the probate judge loses juris-
diction. If Judge Hazen does not
hear the case Thursday and leaves
town, then Judge Hayden will hear
the case. Judge Hazen expects to go
to Colorado and as he intended to
have a vacation until September and
not try cases he may leave before
Thursday, which will give Judge Hay

surplus. The result is that hardly
ever before have the expen ditures and
income of the government so closeIy
correSponded. In the fiscal year that
has lust closed the excess of income
over the ordinary expenditures was
nine millions of dollars This does
not take account of the fifty millions
expended out of the accumulated sur
plus for the purchase of the isthmian
canal. 1t is an extraordinary PROOF
of the sound financial CONDITION OF
the nation that instead of following
the usual course in such matters and
throwing the burden upon poster1ty
by an issue of bonds we were able
to make the payment outright and yet
after it to have in the treasury a sur
plus of 161 millions Moreover, we
were able to pay this fifty millions of
dollars out of hand without causing
the slightest disturbance to business
conditions.
The Tariff.

much interested as the wage-worker IN
