Republican Papers Estimate, Printed Day After
Convention. Of Sherman and the Platform
.(Walter wellman in the Chicago Rec

.(Walter Wellman in the Chicago Rec

Triumph for the conservative and
reactionary wing Of the party marked
the closing session of the republican
eonventfoua
me nomination of Sherman for vice
president Is distinctly and decidedly
victory for the in,en who have op-
posed the progressive policies of Roose-
Welt.
1t is a nomination which, according
to present signs, will not be well re-
ceived by those republicans of the
middle and farther west who have
stood by Roosevelt and his policies.
A choice for vice president dictated
by Speaker Cannon and by his follow
ers, who have grudgingly given the
president the little they have given
him at Washington, aided by a coterie
of United States senators, could not
well be received with enthusiasm by
the people of the Mississippi valley
and the mountain region to the west
Perceiving the weakness and unfit
tingness of this choice, it was yes
terday the talk among the more frank
republican leads that they had given
Bryan the very opening he wanted
They have afforded him the opportun-
tty to make tremendous and possibly
winning fight for electoral votes in
all this section of country round about
Chicago and out to and beyond the
Rockies.
: What the republican leaders really
fear is that Bryan and Johnson will
be the answer to Taft and Sherman
a sincerely progressive, but not radi
cal platform at Denver; strong and
not straddly labor plank to meet the
republican compromise, and then a
desperate effort to split the west wide
open in November.
Recognizing this weakness and these
dangers, the republican leaders yes
terday were planning to do something
to recover the lost ground. They want
to make sure of getting La Toilette
and Beveridge and Dolliver into the
campaign. No news of yesterday
pleased them so much as word that
La Toilette could be depended upon
to take the stump in the west for Taft
Thus early comes answer to the ques
ton of the bold young man from Wis
consin, what are you going to dc
with the man." And the answer is
that the republicans need him to hold
the west in line for the ticket.
And more than one leader confessed
last night that if the democrats al
Denver have the wisdom to put Gov
ernor Johnson on the ticket with
Byran, the republicans will have sore
need of La Fonette and all like him
who can reach the people before the
snow blows in November.
The blunder of the nomination o.

known and the ill-fitted, is one fol
which President Roosevelt and Secre
tary Taft cannot be held directly re

And the. consistency of the attitude
OF the Iowa faction is also very charm
ing. When they first came here and
started out to defeat the choice of the
president and Mr.. Taft, it was with
the plea that if Dolliver became vice
president Cummins would become
senator. Well, what was the matter
with that? Matter enough. This man
Cummins was a dangerous radical, a
a populist, democrat. He
was worse than La Toilette, and how
would the party like to have two or
possibly three La FolleteS in the SEN
ate? But when it was suggested that
i: might be a good thing to get this
trouble maker out of the state by send
ing him to Washington as vice pres
ident they actually turned round and
Endorsed him and determined to pre-
sent him to the national party and
sound his virtues with all proper elo-
auence. 1t did not take long for him
to change from dangerous dema-
|gogue into a patriot worthy elevation
tc the presidential seat. And as for
La Toilette, the horrible example-he
is the man the party is now calling
up to take the stump and help save
the day among the discontented pro-
gressives of the west. Politics is a
funny game, indeed.

He also suggested that until ] new bridge Is built no autos should be allowed to cross over as 1t was not safe being called for there were nineteen for the petition and no one opposed.
 The abolition of the grade crossing in Grand avenue was first favored by Superintendent of the Charities De- partment Jacob Frohlich. Ex Alderman Langley and L. A Mansfield, the lumber dealer, followed him. All declared 1t an unsafe place and a dangerous cross ing. R. c. Davis, the feed merchant, whose plant is right by the side of the tracks, opposed it. He said that it would damage property that accidents there in the thirty years he had been in business had been very few, and that they had decreased fifty per cent m the last ten years, and the benefits to be derived from the change were not great.

 bcrs.

The exclusion of all outsiders from the anniversary dinner of the class of 7S, William H. Tafts class, at the Country club last night, defeated a cherished plan of Nathan Simon of 270 Ashmun street, this city. Simon with bundle of canes made from an oaken beam that once was a part of old South College, appeared at the gate of the suspension bridge which crosses the lake to the club house and asked the policemen stationed there for permission to cross.
 The refusal of the officer was in conformity to his orders and then tho old man told his story and his disap- pointment.' He was jantor of Van- derbilt hall from 1889 to 1898 and when old South College was torn down he saved from the ruins an oaken beam from which he had had turned a number of canes. Some of these were still in the house and at supper time when he learned that Candidate Taft was to be at luncheon at the Country club Simon announced to his wife that Ile Woulu pIeSell MT ldlL WitH ono of the canes and distribute the rest among members of his class
 The wood out of which the canes Is made is over 150 years old and is so seasoned that the canes are as light as willow wands The old man after long wait at the gate in the hopes that some of the diners would cross the bridge was finally forced to depart sorrowfully bearing with him the canes. And from over the water foated the strains of Its Always Fair Weather when Good, Fellows Get To- gether." Simon tried to distinguish MT. Taft's voice, but said he couldn't.

There was quite a spirited session of
 the Aldermanlc committee on railroads and bridges in city hall last night. when the petition for the construction of q
 new bridge across West River on Edge
 wood avenue and the petition for the abolition of the grade crossing on Grand
 avenue, just east of the police precinct
 were taken up. The Edgewood Civic association was out in force on the for
 mer project, and strongly favored a new structure, EXAlderman Felix Chlllingworth presented the proposition
 to the committee He represented that the bridge was in an unsafe condition, that 1t had been condemned some if
 teen years ago and that it was really too weak for the carrying of autos and carriages. He said that the director of public works had expressed reluct- ance to make any great improvement In the present structure because he felt that new bridge was necessity He asked that a three arch bridge be plac- ed across the river running from the present high embankments on either side. He said that he had not looked into the matter of the cost of the struc- ture, but felt that as the city owned the land on each side of the bridge 1t should take up the work and make

 July cotton, which closed at 1037 last night, opened at 10.30 this morning and then dropped rapidly down the scale to 965, causing a small panic on the
 floor The total drop in prices was 125 points, which meant loss of sI5O a bale

line, the Commonwealth is built of steel. Seven bulkheads extend to the main deck and they contain no doors to be left open by carelessness. She has double hull and the space be- tween the bottoms Is divided into a great many water-tight compartments. The safety of the steamer is thus as- sured in case of accident. There are also collision bulkheads at each side of the steamer at the guards and a bulkhead athwartship.
 For safeguarding the steamer and her passengers, every precaution that experience and foresight can suggest has been utilized by the builders of the Commonwealth. She will carry a life saving crew and will have one third more life preservers, life rafts and buoys than are required by the United States government regula- tions
 1 The Commonwealth will have a speed of twenty-two miles an hour, Her engine is of the double inclined compound type, with two high pres sure cylinders ninety-sx inches in diameter, all having a common stroke of piston of nine feet six inch es. The high pressure cylinders are fitted with adjustable cut-offs and the low pressure cylinders with fixed cut. offs.
 Every stateroom has telephone enabling the passenger to speak witf the purser or steward or with friend occupying another stateroom.
 In the way of comforts and conven' l fences no metropolitan hotel can af ford more than the Commonwealth The man who Is particular about hi! appearance has at his command while speeding over the waters of Long Is land sound, the services of a valet barber and bootblack. If he desire! to write letters or attend to business matters there is competent stenog rapher to assist him, and he ma. keep in close touch with his office b. means of the wireless service.
 The Commonwealth was designed by J. Rowland Gardner, superinten dent of marine construction of tn New England Navigation company ] The building of the steamer was su pervsed by Captain J W.
