TAFT AND SHERMAN.

The Republican national ticket was
completed Friday by the nomination
of Congressman James S. Sherman, OF
New York, for the Vice-Presidency
For several days the public had been
prepared for the selection Of a New
York man for second place, as it has
been admitted that the candidate must
be taken from the East-and prefera-
bly, from that State-if the party is to
win in November. Thus it was that
the Murphy boom collapsed, for it was
based entirely on the contingency that
New York and Pennsylvania would
be unable to agree upon a candidate
and would turn to the Jefseyman, who
is popular in both states and whose
qualifications for the high Office were
conceded.
OF Mr.. Taft it can be said that he is
able, clean and experienced in nation
al affairs. He has served with distinc-
tion and success in important places.
Even among those who opposed his
nomination are many who believe
that, if elected to the Presidency, his
training and experience will lead him
to disregard the so-called Roosevelt
policies" especially in the methods OF
enforcement, and make great Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Sherman is not SO well-known,
but he is said to be "of Vice-Presi-
Dental caliber," the best parlia-
mentarian in Congress, I" well qualified
to succeed to the Presidency in an en-
Urgency, modest and sensible" Be-
sides he was the unanimous choice of
the New York delegation and has
served more than twenty years in the
lower branch of Congress.
Judging from the tone of the news
papers of the country, the nominlt ions
are entirely satisfactory to the Repub-
licans. Whether they will appeal to
the independent Democrats will de-
pend on the ticket chosen at Denyer
next month. At present the indica-
lions are that Mr.. Bryan will again be
nominated.

FORMER GOVERNORS VOTE
AT CHICAGO.

Incidents of the Murphy Vice-Presi-
dental boom, and of the Pennsylvania
delegations reciprocation of help for
Knox, withfthe tumbling in of Sena-
tor Penrose and colleagues for Sher
man, were among matters of special
interest at the wind-up session Of the
National convention.
Thomas N. McCarter, of New Jersey,
got q good welcome as he mounted the
platform to place ex. Governor Frank n
Murphy in nomination for Vice-Presi-
dent, but the New Jersey delegates
alone arose to whoop it up for the can
didate after the speech. Z They stood
Oh their chairs waving flags and cheer
ing for Murphy. Their valiant stand
to the finish was forlorn hope, evil
IDENTIFY admired by the throng.
The next movement gave Jersey-a
chill, as it might have been inferred
from Congressman M. E. Olmsted's
|seconding Gin behalf of the Pennsyl-
delegation" the nomination of Sher-
man, that no Keystone return was to
be made for the four votes which Knox
had received from across the Delaware.
But PenroSe, from general under
standing, without individualizing the
vote, had already fixed upon the re-
cording of sixty Pennsylvania for
Sherman and eight for Murphy, thus
repaying, two to one, Jerseys compli-
ment to Knox.
Jersey looked sadly at Delaware and
Maryland when those States denied
single vote to Murphy, and gave their
solid six and sixteen respectively to
Sherman. Governor Forts announce
ment OF the solid twenty-four from his
State for Murphy won another hurrah
for the brave band around him.
There was demonstrative apprecia-
tion OF Pennsylvania compliment to
jerseys candidate, who, without those
eight votes, would have ranked third
instead of second in strength, with his
seventy-seVen votes, next to Sherman's
although closely pressed by Guilds
Seyenty-fve. jerseys four votes for
Knox had exactly made up for the
Pennsylvania candidates loss in his
own delegation. The Jerseymen
sought to console themselves by point
ing out the scattering of Murphy votes
among fourteen States. The larger OF
those contributions to the jersey can
d:date were applauded all around, as if
everybody felt that such plucky ands
persistent fighters as the New Jersey
delegates deserved more than they got.
For the two votes which Jersey in
the Presidential voting had given for
Fairbanks, Indiana returned four to
Murphy. Illinois made an even ex-
change of three for Murphy in appre-
citation OF the Jersey votes for Cannon.
Ohio spared ten to Murphy in repay
ment for Jerseys fifteen Taft votes
The wide stretch of the compliments
70 Murphy from Connecticut to the
Gulf of Mexico and the Rocky Mount
aims, was partly explained in his bust
ness connections, as we'll as in the Jer-
Seymen'S little understandings with
many delegations. Governor Fort, as
one of the SeconderS of the motion to
make Sherman's nomination unani-
nous made a hit by saying that "as
New York, since the completion of the
tunneling, has become a part OF New
jersey, OF course we are happy"

THE contest for the Craftsmanship
of the New Jersey delegation between
Governor Fort and Senator Kean re-
suited in victory for the Governor,
as reported elsewhere. There is no
discounting the fact that the Cover
nor is an astute politician, and his
success in this little contest by ma
jority of one vote is significant in
many respects. 1t is now presumed
that he will be selected to place the
name of former Governor Murphy in
nomination for the second place on
the ticket, and that he can do it, and
do it eloquently and forcibly, every
body who has ever heard the Governor
speak knows. 1t is probable that the
eloquence and forcefulness of Cover
nor Fort may be potent factor in Mr..
Murphy's chances of the nomination.
No other man could present his name
more logically and masterfully than
Governor Fort. 1t will be remembered
that when Mr.. Hobart waS.nominated
for President a dozen years ago
it was the present Governor Fort who
made the nomination speech. We
hope that he will be as successful this
time as he was on the former occasion.

THE SIZE OF IT.

A small percentage of the voters of
Hackensack turned out to take part in
the referendum election for the abolish
ment of the voting machine in that vii
lage, and majority voted for it. This
means that hereafter the Hackensack
people will vote under the old ballot
system. The result was not altogether
unexpected, for only the opponents of
the machine appeared to take any &C
tive interest in it. That it will sooner
or later be found to be mistake we
feel sure. No man who believes in hon
est elections is opposed to voting ma

TAFT's SUCCESSOR.

William H. Taft, Republican NOM
inee for President, resigned his Office
OF Secretary of State shortly after re-
ceiving the news of his nomination
and the President appointed as his
successor, Gen. Luke B. Wright, Dem
ocrat, of Tennessee. Gen. Wright was
a confederate officer who fought hard
to destroy the American Union, but
was never heard Of until picked as the
Democratic member of the Philippine
Commission. While Taft was in charge
of the Philippines, Wright was made
Vice Governor, and in that capacity
did excellent service. For short
time he was Ambassador to Japan,
but resigned last fall. That is about
the sum of his political career, al
though, perhaps, he is expected to
contribute to the election of the Re-
publican electors in Tennessee. now
that he is to be part of the Roosevelt
administration. No doubt his famil.
iarity with affairs in the Philippines
makes him desirable to the latter, but
is it not little peculiar than an ex-
Confederate should be placed at the
head virtually of the Union army,
when there are SO many capable and
deserving men allied TO it who would
be willing to serve as Secretary of
War? The imperial will, however.
has ordained otherwise, because it
wants to show there is no longer any
dividing line between the North and
South, a very laudable desire. But
just wait until November, and see
whether there is any dividing line
when electoral votes are counted.
