Waters of Chicago, was impressive. After read
ing from the Episcopal ritual a prayer Tor the
President and those in authority, he closed with
the Lords Prayer i'm which the delegates and
others Joined.
Then came a feature which lent color and
sentiment to the scene. Senator Lodge recog-
nized various delegation leaders who in briei
resolutions called attention to the presence at
the convention to-day of who had been
delegates at the Republican conventions in 1856
and 1860 One was from Minnesota, one from
Indiana one from Michigan and one from Wis
consn and when the veterans reached the plat
form they i'm turn received a round Of cheers.
The marching clubs had the right Of way after
the convention was fairly opened. and before the
report of the credentials committee was pre-
sented. General Edward c. Young. commander
OF the Illinois National Guard, was in general
command to-day The clubs came with bands
and banners. the line Of march was straight
through Convention Hall In the aisle imme-
diately in front Of the platform, Knox! Knox.
Knox shouted the Americus Club. Of Pitts
burg. two hundred strong They were followed
by the Blaine Club, OF Cincinnati, famous
marching organization wearing white stovepipe
hats and frock coats and carrying a huge banner.
Next came the Cannon boomers, with a banner
informing the reader that they were Uncle
10 which the words Of a Cannon march have
been set
The r. C. Knox Club, Of Philadelphia. came
next. followed by the Marion Club. of Indian
apolis, shouting for Fairbanks. The Hoosiers
got great reception. Senator Bever1dgc
jumped chair and led in the cheering for
his neighobrs. The Taft Club came in singing
"O-H-I-O,' to the tune Of Roll, Jordan Roll" "
and they brought with them stuffed elephant,
borrowed from the Hamilton CLUB Of Chicago
The Ohio singers stopped and sang parody IN
Harrigan, and other songs making the young
men carrying the elephant very weary. They
finally set the elephant down. Mr.. and Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth arrived while the elephant
was walking around. Mrs Longworth wore
small checked black and white plaid. and black
hat and blue flowers.
One Of the most important acts Of the day. and
one. having great significance. was the adoption
of the report of the committee on credentials.
seating the Taft delegations practically in toto.
If there had been any lingering doubt of the
Taft strength II disappeared before this de-
cisive action which in effect placed upward of
seven hundred delegates in the Taft column.
Next in Importance and most remarkable
the final acceptance Of this result by the allies
without the formaity of dissenting minority
report and without carrying the question to the
floor of the convention for the open fight which
had been long threatened Instead of this all
further opposition seemed to crumble: those who
had promised trouble quietly accepted the inev-
liable, and thus the path cleared for the full
filment of plans already well matured for the
nomination of the head Of the ticket The ia
vorite sons" still have. however. their bands of
steadfast supporters, who will show their 10y
atty when the first ballot is taken.

The Claimant is not.

The Chairman-It is not.
Secretary Taft-And there is an
other reason 1 have explained why
l ought not TO take It up.
If any colored man in the United
States can find any consolation in
the above utterances, we should like
very much TO have him render a
reason for the faith that is in him.
We are fair enough 70 say that Sec
rotary Taft is not a political devil
with horns and that he may not be
as inimical TO our rights and our in
terests as he is painted TO be by some
people. but ne is far from the stand
ard set for men of his character and
attachments and he has too much Of
the politician in his anatomy to &C
cupy the pedestal of a statesman.
Hon. William J. Bryan has endOr-
sed many of the policies mad plati-
tudes of Hon. Theodore Roosevelt,
but we have not as yet seen where
he has ever endorsed his action in
Furnishing 1G7 loyal soldiers of color
by driving them from the army upon
evidence which was not sufficient to
Justify the conviction of a Negro with

Secretary Taft need not answer
the question. but somebody will an
swer it before next November or
"thereu be news TO carry TO Hannah

doubtful states.

vote for the Devil himself, rather
than for his lieutenant in this cam

DECLINED TO ANSWER.

Secretary of War William r. Taft
spoke at Cooper Union, New York
Friday, January 10, 1908 and invited
questions from any one who cared to
send them. Any person in the aud
fence after the address had been
concluded was permitted to ask the
speaker any question germane to the
subject under discussion.
Secretary Taft declined to answer
1t. Here is a copy OF that part OF
the stenographic report:
Secretary Taft understand that
when you permit one TO come before
you and discuss subject that the
questions that are 10 be addressed to
him are upon that subject.
The Chairman-Yes they are per-
tinent 10 the subject
Secretary Taft-That is one Of the
rules of the game?
The Chairman-That is one OF the
rules of the game.
| Secretary Taft-Now, I only want
TO illustrate what I think TO be one
hardly according to the rules OF the
game. (Reading)
Mr.. Chairman: In the name OF
| $4,000 Negro voters of this State
| I ask you, Mr.. Secretary, IL you
| endorse the Presidents position
in his wholesale discharge of COM
panies c and ID in the Browns
Vile ARRAY, and, II so, are you
willing as a candidate for the pres
idency and as a lawyer TO stake
your political and legal fortunes
upon the accuracy of that posi-
ton"
Now, in a speech that I delivere,
in Ohio in August / have given a rea
son why / don't think it proper 70
, me to discuss a matter which cam
before the President and before m
officially, and which is now pendin
= before the Senate Committee on Mi
= itary Affairs. The Committee has nc
voted, the evidence has not all bee
taken, there has been no discussio
y in the Senate. The question coul
e not properly arise either for tn
4 President 10 act upon or for ne [
a act upon until that Committee hi
finished it's labors and made its r.
u port, and such action as the Senai
II sees fit shall be taken. Therefore,
= must respectfully decline TO answ,
a that question. (Applause). i a
