Utica, N. Y, Aug 1S.-The last for maj ceremony attending the launch ing of the republican ticket was held today when Representative Sherman was rendered and accepted the nom inatiOn of his party for the vice pres idency. In accepting he subscribed heartily he declared, to the declara- tion of principles adopted in Chica- go, to every utterance of Taft in his Cincinnati speech, and to the policies of Roosevelt. sherman praised the record of the republican party and in contrasting it with the democratic organization he referred to the latter as an "aggregation of experimental malcontents and theorists whose only claim to history is the party name they offered"
 Senator Burrows of Michigan, of the notification committee, whose members gathered from various states of the union, made the tender of the nomination. In his speech. he too, dealt with what he considered the thinly yelled accusation by Bryan that the republican administration did not prevent the rule of the people.
 Secretary Root. speaking as a neishbor and lifelong friend of the candidate, eulogized Sherman, politics having no place in his brief but elo- quent address.
 President M. w. Stryker of Ham ilton college, from which sherman graduated, paid a personal tribute to the candidate, and there were ad- dresses of welcome to visiting com Tnitteernpn and SightSpprS from Mayor Thomas Wheeler and Chairman Chas.

TopAYs INCIDENTS

Springfield, Aug. 1S.-While the new special grand jury empaneled is to- day hearing witnesses in the riot cas- es, the citizens are holding a meeting. The antagonism between the whites and blacks is already responsible for seven Geaths and scores of injured.
 The white miners at the Woodside coal mine, a mile out of town and the TuXhorn mine four miles distant, have refused to work with negroes. The two mines employed about 800 men, 150 of whom were colored. The white miners came to President Clark, of the Springfield subdistrict of the United Mine Workers with a declaration that the negroes are armed and they did not feel safe in the underground dark

Springfield, Aug 1s-That The race
 war situation in this city is considered much less serious, was evidenced to- night when Governor Deneen issued
 orders for the return of the first and fourth infantry regiments to their homes tomorrow. T took this action
 after a conference with Sheriff Werner
 Mayor Reece, Major General Young, Adjutant General Scott, General Fost-
 CT and General Wells" explained Gov ernor Deneen tonight.
 That means you consider all dang
 CT of serious trouble Dast2" he was
 asked. Tt means we can properly
 guard the city with the troops which remain. The departure of the first and fourth infantry will lessen the forces by about 1000 men, leaving a good 20OO here"
 Major General Young said: "The mob element has had a lesson and the way the citizens are responding to the lappeal for information on which to base indictments will furnish further instructions to the violently inclined. We are getting news on which we will be able to make many arrests of i'm lportance, and these will render the situation much easier to handle. With the ringleaders behind the bars there Twill be little tor the militia to do." There were the usual baseless alarms tonight, BAt up to midnight nothing of a serious character occurred. Depu- lty shcriffs reported the entire absence of trouble at the Woodside coal mine lWhere the white miners refused to l work with the negroes. The refusal of the whites to work with their col ored comrades vas considered at an Iall day session of the examining board with the state federation of united mine workers. As the result the order | is issued that the union does not recOg- nize the right of miners to cease work.
 All are ordered to report to their posts l tomorrow. While the sheriff is glad of the presence of the national guards men, personally he and his deputies Twill feel much safer when they are Igone, according to stories told by the deputies. Nearly all of last nights shooting, according to Chief Deputy Long, was done by the soldiers.

FeliciOus TelegramS and Tokens of Personal Esteem Vied for Precedence With Political OratOry and Questions of State--Mr. Sherman in Good Heath

s. Symonds, of the local reception committee. At the conclusion of the ceremonies MT. Sherman was present ed with a magnificent gOld-lined sil- ver loving cup, a gift from his col leagues of the house. A brief ad- dress of presentation was made by Representative Payne of New York. MT. Sherman received a lengthy tele- gram of felicitation from Taft and the mayor of Utica received congrat- ulatory messages from the mayor of Cincinnati.
 Sherman. who was i'll for a time, appeared today in vigorous health. He will undertake a long campaign tour through the west in October. In accepting the nomination Mir. Sher- man said:
 Senator Burrows and Gentlemen of
 the Notification Committees:
 Your chairman, speaking for the committee. has notified me of my nom ination by the republican national convention, held in Chicago in June as the partys candidate for vice-presi- dent As l chanced to be in Chicago in June, I had an inkling of the con- vention's action, which was confirmed by warm hearted reception rendered me by my neighbors on the occasion of my homecoming on July 2 This of ficial notification. however is welcome and the nomination yUu tender me is accepted; accepted with a gratitude commensurate with the great honor conferred; accepted with q full appre- citation of the obligations which ac- company that honor, an homer greater because my name is linked with that

! of William IT Taft, whom I respect and esteem highly and who approaches the high office of president exception ally well equipped to discharge the duties and bear the varied and weghty responsibilities of that exalted posi- | ton. My acceptance could not be made with honor unless I were in full ac- cord with the declaration of principles adopted by the convention. Not only am l in full and complete accord with my party's platform, but I endorse every word of the statement made by MT. Taft in his address of acceptance when notified of his nomination as the republican candidate for presi- dent
 That speech fully and comprehen- sively discusses the issues of this campaign as presented by the plat forms of the two great parties, so that it is appropriate that my statement should be short. Those not convinced by the presentation of Mir. Taft could not hope to persuade. It is, however, in conformity with custom that l refer at least briefly to some of the important issues of the campaign.
 First. then, let me say that I am a protectionist. l am sufficiently practi- cal to value the utility of a fact higher than the beauty of a theory, and I am a protectionist because experience has demonstrated that the application of that principle has lifted us as a nation to a plane of prosperity above that occupied by any other people.
 I especially commend that plank of our platform which promises an early revision of tariff schedules. That pledge will be fulfilled in an adjust ment based in every particular upon the broad principles of protection for all American interests; alike for labor, for capital, for producers and con sumers. The Dingley bill. when en- acted. was well adapted to the then existing conditions. The developments of industrial prosperity in a decade which in volume and degree have sur passed our most roseatc expectations have so altered conditions that in cer- tain details of schedules they no longer in every particular mete out justice to all. In this readjustment the prin- ciple of protection must and will gov
 
 posed as will equalize the cost of production at home and abroad and insure a reasonable profit to all Amer ican interests. The republican idea of such profit embraces not alone the manufacturer, not alone the capi- 1 tai invested but all engaged in Ameri- can production, the employer and em- plOycd, the artisan, the farmer, the miner and those engaged in transpor- l tation and trade; broadly cspeaking those engaged in every pursuit and | calling which our tariff directly or in- directly affects. During a statutory application of this principle, prosper ity has abided with us. When a rev. l enue tariff has been the law, ad- versity and want have been our DOT tion. Our democratic brethren, whose memories are as short as their prom
