Mr.. shcrman's Elements of strength.


Better Sherman than Dolliver---a hun
dred times better. Still, the country.
will be puzzled by his nomination.. Tho
country Is often puzzled by the second
name on the presidential ticket. Who is
he? Why was he nominated? How
does he add strength to the ticketfl
These questions Will be asked concern
ing Mr.. Sherman; but the answer. we
think, Is obvious.
Mr. Sherman has two elements Of
strength. Ills nomination will bring to-
the support of the ticket all the ener-'
gies OF the New York republican organ
lzation Then Mr.. Sherman Is con-
sentative man, not exactly a reactions
airy, yet he has in the house belonged
to Speaker Cannon's group, which has
from time to time put itself In dpposi-
ton to some of the policies of Mr..
Identified with corporation interests,
some OF which his democratic oppo-
nents during the campaign will proba-
bly, describe as trusts. 1t Is obvious
that his nomination will be very much
better received in New York and In the
east than that Of Mr.. Dolliver, who was
the administration candidate. Men
concerned In large business affairs Will
feel that In Mr.. Sherman, should he be
elected Vice president, they will have q
sympathetic friend, very much as such
men felt during the first administration
of william Mckinley that Garrett A..
Hobart was friend, d public servant
who was informed, congenial and ap-
proachable.

Denver, Col, July 1.--"Do all you can

said Wills j. Abbot, a confidential
friend Of Mr.. Bryan who arrived in this

coin, last night, and after three dIf-
ferent interviews with him ] assure
you that there is nothing farther from
the truth than that he has q platform

He was working on FIVE resolutions,
and at the right time will probably pre-
sent them to the committee on platform
for It's consideration. lie will deal es-
pecially with the subject Of Injunction,
trusts, railroads, the guarantee Of bank
deposits and the tariff. He has given
especial consideration to the Injunction
plank and has about completed his
work on 1t, but ] defy Sherlock
Holmes to get 1t out Of him. The other
four planks are still In course OF prep
aration, but as for the platform as a
whole, 1t has not received more than
passing attention"

Several trees In the middle of the
central green are showing noticeable
signs Of decadence, the leaves in a
wasted condition being thick on the
ground In many places. Superintend-

tree beetle, which begins its work
early In the year, Is the cause of the
trouble. The trees are being CAREFUL
ly watched and beetles brushed away
as fast as they appear, IN hopes Of
keeping the pest from spreading. 1t
Is anticipated that, by keeping the
ground moist around the roots Of the
afflicted trees, they will be in foliage
again and In a healthy condition.
A large hose from the fire depart
ment has been in use for several days
past, spraying different portions Of
the green at various intervals, and the

Of what benefit 1t has been.
