Chicago, June 17.-Fourteen hours
were given by the credentials commit
tee Of the republican national conven-
!. tion for the presentation Of contests
but no change was made in the tenn
porary roll Of delegates and alternates
Full approval was given the work OF
the national committee.
Charles A. Bookwalter. member OF
the credentials committee from Indi-
ana, voiced the protests OF the men
classed as anti-Taft members of the
committee, and announced that a mi
nority report would be made to the
convention.
4 "Of the cases submitted by the al
lies,s said he. "those involving 11o
seats had merit, but they were rail-
roaded out Of the hall without exam
nation of evidence in their support by
the committee. Arguments We're not
listened to at all and the Taft men
adopted rules which absolutely exclud-
ed members Of the committee from
participation in the debate"
National COMMITTEES Undecided.
After the committee had adjourned
Senator Fulton, Of Oregon, and Repre-
sentative F,assett, of New York, assert
ed that the cases Of the "allies'' were
weak in every particular and could not
have been decided otherwise than as
they were. Both these gentlemen said
the charge that the national committee
was pretudiced in favor Of Taft had
been refuted and the committee fully
vindicated.
Committee Works All Night.
All night the committee on creden-
tials ploughed thru the long line Of
contests, and few were much surprised
to find all the decisions confirmed those
of the national committee. There was
much interest in the announcement
that a dissenting report from the de-
feated minority would be presented to
the convention. This seemed much
less formidable as implying a struggle
on the convention floor than It would
be had not the Taft people apparent
" already in hand votes more than
enough to dispose Of the matter with
cut serious delay.

In 1892 President Cleveland was again
nominated, with Adlai E. Stevenson as
running mate. The Republicans renom-
mated General Harrison, but replaced Mr..
Morton by Whitelaw Reid The newly
formed Peoples Party, the individual
members of which after much painful
thought were denominated Populists,
nominated General James B. Weaver and
James G. Field The Democrats gained
a sweeping victory, having Ell electoral
votes for Cleveland, against las for Har-
is the only time since 1860 that third
party has gained electoral votes.
In. 1896 the Democratic politicians in
control of the national convention decided
to abandon the issues and traditional prin-
ciples of their party and adopt those of
the Populists. They nominated on such
platform William ]. Bryan and Arthur
Sewall. Bryan was Endorsed by the Pop
ulists, who, however, persisted in running
their own candidate for Vice President,
Thomas E. Watson. A great detection of
old-fashioned Democrats followed this
action. The Republicans named William
Mckinley and Garrett A. Hobart, who
were elected by an electoral vote of 27I
to 176.
In 1900 the Democrats again nominated
Bryan, with former Nice-President Ste
venson for second place. The Republicans
named Mckinley and Theodore Roosevelt
The electoral vote was 2o2 to155.
In 1904 the faction inclined to the
earlier position of the Democratic party
prevailed in the Democratic convention,
which nominated Alton B. Parker Of New
York and Henry 6. Davis of West Vir-
GINA. The defeated faction very generally
voted for the Republican candidate, Theo-

Postmortem Praise.

IL the praises the republican papers
have bestowed upon Grover Cleveland
since his death had been bestowed
during his public life, they would have
shown a meritorious discernment and
a candid, honest purpose. No presi-
dent Of the United States was more
misrepresented, caricatured and abus-
ed by the republican press, during his
occupancy of the White house, than
President Cleveland. This fact in view
of their recent deserved laudations
shows that the republican press is adj
|dicted to lying about democratic
statesmen in high places, and, in fact,
about all democratic officials when
tues they possess and the ability and
deficiency they display. The organs of
the party of organized appetite are
never so happy as when they are ira
ducing democratic officials and demo
cratic candidates.
The abuse and misrepresentation OF
Mr. Bryan by these organs now is an
Illustration of the ungracious habit OF
lying that they have cultivated during
past campaigns. Mr. Bryan is a cul
tured Christian gentleman, is recog
Inized even by President Roosevelt as
representative citizen and statesman
of the highest character and most
marked ability, and as in every way
worthy of the most respectful treat
ment. But he is a democrat and q
prospective democratic candidate, and
that is sufficient excuse in the opin
ion of these organs for directing al
him their malicious shafts of ridicule
and vituperation. The reason for this:
Because he is, alive, in the way Of
their appeasing their appetite for the
