 SHERMAN FOR SECOND PLACE.
 Timothy Woodrur had been chosen to make the sherman nominating speech ana was met with another yo- ciferous outburst from NNew York as he was introduced to the convention by senator Lodge.
 The point made by Mir. Woodruff in his speech that no republican ticket had ever been defeated when New York man was on 1t. except once. and that was when the opposing party was bright enough to put a New Yorker at the head of their ticket, evoked much laughter and applause.
 r'On behalf of the United Delegation of the Pivotal State of the Union for as New York goes, 50 goes the pa- tion--I present to you the name of Congressman James s. Sherman"
 It was thus Mfr. Woodruff concluded and Speaker Cannon arose to make his way to the platform to second the nom- ination.
 Mir. Cannon was given what was really one of the most enthusiastic re- captions accorded to any man during the convention. He repeatedly waived his hand to the convention. motiontnK them to resume their seats, and 1t was some minutes before he was able to commence his speech.
 T would rather be a door keeper in the house of the Lord. than to dwell in the tents of the wicked" he began, and cheers and laughter greeted the remark.
 Mir. Cannon then declared the pIaform adopted by the convention was true to the hopes, the aspirations and priuci. ples of the country. Next he paid A tribute to Secretary Taft as tho nomt- nee of the party. saying of him that he was broad. cultured. judicial minded executive official. who had an- swered every draft made upon him with unfailing zeal and fidelity to the public service. T say without mental reservation" said Speaker Cannon that William H. Taft is my candidate and again he was competed to nauae Jntil the yells of delegates had died away. He thcn entered upon an ear nest eulogium upon Mfr. Sherman tketching his services to tbs ro,,ntr,, as a whole. and describing him as . man eminently qualified to act as vice president. ''ee
 The Middle West that stands ar.. In population. first in agriculture frst in manufacturers, and first in r,inn.s, !, wealth. has the first place unon tha ticket, and now the great Enpire state henors the party and honors itself in presenting the name of James & sber- man for the Vice-Presidency.
 'If ever the contingency should sr,sa which. God forbid, that he should ba called to supplant the President. thars is no man I would trust more to ful. i'll all the duties of that high ofice than James S. Sherman"
 The closing of his address was ernl. nently characteristic of Speaker Can. non. He predicted a glorious triumph for Taft and sherman. and then way ing both arms at the delegates. he snapped out Good Bye" and strode to the rear, accompanied by laughter and applause.
 Governor Wilson was recognized fin his place on the floor.
 "On behalf of Kentucky I want to second the nomination of Mir. Sherman With him on the ticket. we are bound to win. The knocking is all over now. and we are solid ana united"
