happiness by her kind words and
smiling face; you find the vacant

missed, yet we monrn not as those
who have no hope, and we know
that ii we follow her admonitions
and walk in the footsteps of our

loved one where parting shall be

| We knew not how dear was that form
Till stilled was the inttering breath;
/ We knew not how sweet Was that voice
Until II Was silent In death.
We knew not how great was the prize
Until we have counted the cost;
| Weknew not how deeply we loved
Until that dear loved one was lost

His death was due to heart fail ure, complicated with other diseases The passing away of Mir. Cleveland was not immediately announced but delayed until the official statement had been prepared by the physicians who had been attending him in the various periods of his illness
 While MT Cleveland had been se- riously Ill from time to time, the an- nouncement of his death came like a thunderbolt to those who had been watching his illness Tuesday night there was slight furry among the friends of the Clevelands that some thing serious was wrong with the former President. This was occasion ed by the visit of Dr. Bryant of New York, Mir. Cleveland's physician for many years. Mrs. Cleveland later in the evening, discussing Dr. Bryant's visit, said there was no occasion for alarm and MT. Cleveland was getting

427. Ohio carried the Taft total to 511, or 20 more than enough to nom. ipate. Still the call went on until the final result was announced by Chair man Lodge:
 For Theodore Roosevelt, votes; for Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio 16 votes; for Charles w. Fairbanks of Indiana, 40 votes; for Joseph Cannon of Illinois, 61 votes; for Robert La Fol lette of Wisconsin, 25 votes; for Charles k. Hughes of New York. 63 votes; for Philander c. Knox of Penn sylvania. 68 votes. and William H. Taft of Ohio. TOP votes.
 A great shout went up as Lodge concluded his announcement, and with one accord the cohorts of Cannon and Knox and Hughes and the other heroes, joined in common tribute for the candidate of the party.
 Sherman for Second Place.
 The nomination for the vice-presi. dency was not made until Friday When the convention adjourned for the day Thursday the situation re- garding second place on the ticket was decidedly unsettled. but before the del. egates met Friday an arrangement had been perfected for the Taft delegates to support Representative James s. sherman of New York as the running mate of the secretary of war.
 Three names were placed In nomi- nation when the chairman announced that nominations were in order Sher. man was named as New York's choice by Tim Woodruff former lieutenant governor of the state; Gov. Curtis Guild of Massachusetts was placed in nomination by Senator Lodge, and Ex- Gov Franklin Murphy of New Jersey was named by Thomas N. McCarter. Several brief seconding speeches were made for each candidate.
 When the roll call was begun 1t was soon seen that Sherman was the popu- lar choice of the delegates. When enough votes had been cast to insure his nomination Senator Crane of Massachusetts moved that it be made unanimous and it was carried with shout of approval.
 The usuai motions of acknowlelg. ment to the officers of the convention and to the city in which it was held were then passed.
 Judson W Lyon Of Georgia was recognized to make the moticn to ad. tourn without day. It was put into effect at l1:47 a. m. The band played The Starr -Spangled Banner" the del egates rapidly left the hall and the convention of 1908 had made it's way into history.

 IS REPUBLICAN, SLATE
Convention at Chicago Selects Na= tional Ticket and Adjourns-=Wild Enthusiasm on Nomination of OhiOan==DemOnstration for
 Theodore Roosevelt

Chicago - Taft and Sherman This is the ticket of the Repub- lican party flung to the breeze Fri day as the Republican national con vention concluded with the nomination of James S. Sherman of New York for vice-president amid final roar of tumultuous demonstration.
 Scene of Wild Enthusiasm.
 The picture within the walls of the vast amphitheater as the presidential candidate was named Thursday was one truly gradiose in its magnitude. In front to the right and left, below and above, the billowing sea of hu- manity, restless after hours of wait ing and stirred from one emotion to another was in a fever of expectancy for the eliminating vote. The favorite sons of other states had been named, save Knox and La Toilette, and now on the roll call came Ohio.
 As the Buckeye state was reached, the tall, gaunt form of Theodore E. Burton. with student-like face and severe black clerical garb, advanced to the platform to nominate Ohios can didate. He spoke fervently, with the singing voice of an evangelist, which went ringing through the great build ing. The close of his speech of nomination was the signal for loosing the long pent-up feeling of the Taft legions. Instantly the Ohio delegates were on their feet other Taft states following, while the convention hosts, in gallery and on door. broke into mad demonstration. For 10, Is, 20 minutes, this uproar continued. At last the tired voices died down to a hoarse shout. and subsided

 This iull now gave the opportunity for the speech seconding Taft's nom. ination, by George H. Knight of Cali fornia, his big, round face beaming forth on the sympathetic multitude and his splendid baritone voice well. ing forth like the tones Of great church organ. Californias tribute to Taft was brief and fervid. Now there was another lull in the Taft movement, while the remaining candidates were placed in nomination.
 It was late in the afternoon before the convention. qow literally swelter- ing with the intense heat and weary after nearly seven hours of continuous session, reached the end of the flood of eloquence and the decks were at last cleared for the culminating act.
 hush of expectancy hung over the assembly as the call proceeded. Hasty summaries showed that Taft was far in advance. When New York Nas reacbe ed As Taft column totalsd

 The abuse of wealth the tyranny of power. and the evils of privilege and favoritism have been put to scorn by him. We pledge a con- tinuance of the Roosevelt policies Anti-Injunction-
 The Republican party will uphold the authority of the courts, but be- lieYes the rules of procedure in federal courts with respect to in- functions should be more accurate ly defined by statute and that no injunction should be issued without notice.
 Labor
 The same wise policy will be pur- sued to tighten the burdens of all who toll.
 Tariff
 The Republican party declares for a revision of tarin by special session of congress. We favor the establishment of maximum and minimum rates.
 Money
 An expanding commerce and increasing crop movements disclose the need of a more elas- tic and adaptable system Trusts
 The government should have greater supervision over corpora. tions engaged in interstate com merce.
