this morning 1t was practically Ger.
tain that the Vice-Presidency would
go to Mr.. Sherman. A large number
of states had Endorsed his candidacy
in caucus, and 1t spread like wildfire.
The New York delegation stood solid
ly back of Mr.. Sherman, and when
the voting began there was rush
of delegates to fall into line, victory
being assured to the New York Rep
resentative long before the roll had
been half completed. Speaker Can
non appeared unexpectedly upon the
floor of the convention, and by unan-
imous consent was granted the priv
lege of making the seconding speech
for Mr.. Sherman, who had b9et
placed in nomination by Timothy
Woodruff. chairman of the New York
delegation. Mr.. Cannon was greet &C
uproariously as he stepped ~ the
convention platform, and mis- earne
tribute to Mr.. Sherman, one the f1oor
leaders in the lower House of Con
gress, was enthusiastically applauded
Mr.. Sherman's victory was an over
whelming one, SIG votes being the
total before his nomination was made
unanimous.
Earlier in the day the battle over
the platform had occupied the Close
attention of delegates and spectators.
The platform, as framed by the com
mittee on resolutions, was read by
its chairman, Senator Hopkins, of
Illinois, while minority report, re-
fleeing the views of the supporters
Of Senator La Follett1, was presented
by Congressman Cooper, of Wiscon-
sin. 1t was on one hand the sledge-
hammer blows of the Wisconsin men
against combinations and monopoly;
on the other hand the warning of
Hopkins against Socialist doctrines of
Wisconsin. The platform was adopt
ed by an overwhelming vote, after
separate planks in the Wisconsin
plan had ben buried under adverse
votes.
An interesting and pleasing Incl
dent occurred in the convention, just
after the call to order. Senator Full
ton then said:
MIR. Chairman and Gentlemen of
the Convention: The delegation from
Oregon is proud of the fact and
deems 1t an honor to state to this
convention that among it's members
is the last surviving member of Pres
ident Grants Cabinet, in the person
of Hon. George H. Williams, who was
elected t. Ghe United States Senate
in 1S64.Ir He was a member of the
reconstruction committee of the Sen
ate, the author of the reconstruction
bill and the tenure of office act and
framed the exact language in which
now appears the fourteenth amend
ment He Is now in his S6th yer,
He has a mind exceptionally clear
and strong that looks back from his
great eminence upon life singular
ly replete with participation in great
historic events and as a mark of re-
spect to this distinguished citizen I
move that he be invited to seat on
the platform"
Judge Williams took seat on the
platform and was greeted with loud
applause.

UNTIDY PARKS.
Useful Suggestion For Keeping Pleas
ure Grounds In Order.


ure Grounds In Order.
A good hint for keeping parks clean
is contained in the following views of
a New York man who believes in Or
der:
Il wish that every man or woman
who goes into one of our beautiful
parks on Sunday morning from now on
could have received the training l did
when camping out as boy in Canada.
l was taught to pick up every bit of
paper. every scrap of every kind left
over from a meal, and to put it in the
camp fire. And after all the refuse
had been consumed we always had to
see to it that the fire was put out SO
that there would be no danger of start
ing forest fire. The result of such
training is to make one careful of other
folks rights, and that would work out
here splendidly.
For if men and women who went
into park on Sunday morning and
used portion Of their newspaper as
a protection from the dampness Of the
earth would only pick it up and carry
It off with them to deposit it in the
nearest receptacle for such things the
general appearance of our pleasure
grounds would be improved immense
ly. 1t distresses me to see the beauti-
full lawns marred by these bits Of pa
per at time when they ought to look
their best and as they would look all
summer long if each individual would
do his share in keeping them in order"

the law enacted by the Thirteenth
general assembly and said that 1t
would have been necessary for some
person to have been an eye witness to
the murder or murders to make 1t
direct evidence. Since there were
no eye witnesses. the evidence then
became ciroums' antial, and the only
verdict that could be returned WAS
n sentence or acquittal. The jury
lost no opportunity and returned a
verdict for life.
Bavori is to serve his term for the
murder Of Joe Minichiello and not for
the murder of the others. 1t will not
be necessary to try him for those
murders as he will now serve the rest
of his days on earth behind tho pris-
on walls of the Colorado penitentiary.
Unless Bavori commits suicide while
serving his sentence or becomes un-
ruly and is shot down by one of the
guards, his chances are favorable for
remaining in the pen for good many
years. as he Is yet comparatively
young man, he now being less than
forty years Of age. A life sentence
means that he must remain there un-
til he is dead. there being no certain
number Of years constituting life
sentence.
G. Fl. wilkes. sttor ney for Bavori
made AN hours plea in his arguments
and is said to have made wonderful
address in view Of the fact that he
had so little favorable to his cliept
to argue on. He occupied the atten.
tion Of the court for an hour. Tho
district attorney also made strong
talk against the prisoner.

COTTON PRICES
 SUFFER DECLINE
Active Months Sell Higher
 Soon After Opening
CLOSE IS AT THE LOWEST
Reports That Southern Spot Markets Are Unchanged Are Disappointing to Buyers and Market Re-
 acts Downward.

New York. November 13.-The cotton market a little more than lost It's gain Of the previous day, closing steady at a net decline of 5 to 10 points. Sales were estimated at 225.OOO bales
 The market opened steady at a decline of 1 point to an advance of 2 points or about as due on the cables. Active months sold to points net higher short ly after the call on scattered covering and a renewal of yesterdays late buying movement, but soon weakened under more aggressive offerings from local bears and liquidation in the absence of important bull support After showing a net loss of about to points the market rallied i to 5 points from the lowest on talk of smaller southern spot offerings and a reduction in local selling after the close of the English market. but the advance was followed by renewed weakness after the publication of the into-sight figures making a new high record, and the mar ket closed at practically the lowest price of the day.
 Southern spot markets reported early were generally unchanged and this seemed somewhat disappointing to buyers who had operated on the rumors of firm hold CTS early in the day and the decision of southern delegates at Memphis and New Orleans to hold for 10 cents. Possibly ap- prehensions of bearish census report on November p and uncertainty as to the ac- ton of the New York revision committee on November IS, have had some influence in prompting the decline of between IA and 21 points from the level of the season

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, November 13.-(Special. )=- Cablegrams from Liverpool this morn ing stated that that market was heavy from selling by importers, and unless American arbitrage buying continued their market would be lower. The easy tone abroad at the close bears out this view Here, with the heaviest move ment on record, the demand from Wall street and the west was not so much in evidence though there were few evidences of their parting with any of their recent large purchases.
 Local traders were influenced by the absence of buying orders to part with some of their cotton, because the move ment was so heavy. general freeze is expected west of the Mississippi to- night, a late date and therefore with out influence on prices. At the close the market was steady. Liverpool is expected to be unchanged to a shade better tomorrow.
