TAFT IN sTAUNTON.

Mr.. VIM. III. Taft, candidate for
president on the Republican ticket,
passed through Staunton on last Fri
day evening on his way to Hot Springs,
where he is to spend some time. When
he reached here crowd which had as
sembled called him to the platform of
his car. There he was met by Col. S.
Brown Allen, Marshal of this district,
and introduced to the audience. He
made very disappointing talk. 1t
was not happy in any sense. He has
a very singular and unpleasant way of
laughing at every utterance. He did
not seem to know who Col. Allen was,
hence could not fit his remarks to the
occasion. He doubtless thought, or
ought to have known, that every Re
publican who bumps up against him
down in these parts, is an office hold
er, but he lost out some way on the
comely features of this servant of I'm
Gle Sam. 1t was fortunate for Mr.. Taft
that his train left so soon, as he blum
dered and stumbled around among his
ideas if he was possessed of any, in
way that made his admirers feel ill at
ease, and pleased his opponents. Mr..
Taft may be a great man mentally, he
is rather huge physically, but he is not
happy speaker, and if his few mo-
ment's talk here indicates the force of
his talks that are to be made through
out the campaign, they have no steam
behind them, they will fall limp and
watery on the ears of his audiences,
and make them in some cases sad, and
in all leave them disappointed.

GREAT GATHERING
At DENVER.
Democratic Hosts Invade
The Western City.
Guffey Delegates Denied Seats by
Committee, will Fight Before the
Convention---Bryan Cheered for
An Hour and a Half---Staunton
Man Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms.

The Democratic National convention
at noon by Chairman Taggart, in the
presence of one thousand delegates, one
thousand alternateS, and a vast multi
tude of visitors. Theodore A. Bell of
California, was made temporary chair
man, and his speech was ringing call
to action. Resolutions to the memory
of former President Cleveland were
adopted and the convention then adj
journed to Wednesday.
Mr.. n. G. Watts of this city, was APP
pointed one of the assistant Sergeats-
alarms of the convention, a place he
held at st. Louis four years ago.
The contest in the Pennsylvania del
egation which the National Committee
had decided in favor of Col. Guffey's
delegates, was referred to the commit
tee on credentials by Chairman Bell,
was, by vote of 30 to IA, decided in
favor Of the. anti-Guffey delegates.
Guffey took the fight before the conven-
ton. In the New York contest the
Murphy delegates were seated, as were
the Sullivan delegates from Illinois,
and the Dubois delegates from Idaho.
In Tom Johnson's district in Ohio, his
delegates were seated by vote of "a
to %.
The committee on resolutions did not
report until late last evening, so no
synopsis of it can be given. Governor
Swanson was substituted for Senator
Daniel who is sick, and presented a
plank pledging the support of the
Democrats to reform issues in the
House of Representatives, as at present
the Speaker was the whole show. He
was warmly applauded, and his plank
will probably be adopted.
When the convention met Wednes-
day morning Senator Gore of Oklaho-
ma, addressed it, and when he named
Bryan as the greatest living apostle of
human freedom, it started demon
stratiOn that lasted an hour and half.
There is so much said about vice
presidential candidate, and so little
really known as to the outcome, that
no prediction can be made. There are
number of gentlemen mentioned for
the position, among them are Gray
of Delaware; Towne, CHAMBER and Har-
rison, of New York; Mcneil of Con-
necticut; Douglass of Massachusetts;
Kern of Indiana; James of Kentucky;
Swanson of Virginia; Conrad of Mon
tana, and several Others 1t is likely
that this nomination will be made
today.
Denver is an ideal city for conven-
ton, everything for the comfort and
enjoyment of the visitors being provid-
ed, and the hall is said to be the largest
and best in the country. Snow balling
was one of the features engaged in by
many of the delegates A large guam
tity having been brought from the
mountains and dumped in the streets
near the hall. Everybody is pleased
with the reception accorded them.
Mrs. Ruth Bryan Levitt, daughter
of the Democratic nominee, and Mrs.
Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter
of President Roosevelt, are among the
lady visitors at the convention, and

TAFT PLAYS BALL WITH
NEGROES.

MI. Taft is at the Hot Springs. He has
been playing base ball on team with
two or three negroes on it. This will
fix him all right with the colOred vote,
but it will fix him all wrong with the
vote that is not colored. 1t would seem
that he should seek different company
for his son Charley who also played.
This action on the part of Mr.. Taft
down in these parts is rather rubbing
1t in. He is carrying out Roosevelt's
ideas gloriously, calling to mind as We
do the Booker Washington incident.

There is one consolation to real DEM
ocrats in the fact that those gentlemen
who went to Denver to defeat Bryan
and nominate "a man who can be
elected" will not find stool pigeons for
whom to vote, such as Palmer and

into the Republican party this time.

from the size of the fund in those years
Col. Guffey's fortune was about as

That the bitter primary fights among

will be carried into the election, is the
hope on which depend the aspirations
of former School Commissioner George

heavily Democratic that the latter can

In his campaign, which he thinks viii
make good material for a book after
the smoke clears away.
He had the time of his life last night
trying to attend several meetings ir
widely scattered parts in his district
Knowing that the ground he would
have to w was considerable he en-
gagged an automobile.
The driver of the machine Informed
Mr.. Townsend that he was afraid that
the car would not last the trip, as Il
had been working hard all day.
Mr.. T~ownsend's mind was more en-
gagged in things to say, and he replied,
"To Millburn or burst"
The machine strained and ~snorted
away for a mile OIL more, when sudden
ly it stopped and the driver said:
Il thought So"
"What is the trouble?' remarked Mr..

had been ordered.

decided to walk to Newark. After a
