The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1908-12-07

were three newspapers and a letter
on which the writing was illegible.
One of the newspapers was the
Lexington, Mo-, Ledger. another the
st. Louis Journal of Commerce and
the third the Kansas City Journal.
The st. Louis paper tells of the nom-
ination of Grant and Wilson in Phil
adelphia.
Story of the Convention.
The story of the convention opens
thus:
Philadelphia, June 6, 10:40 p. NJ
The scenes in the convention today
we're wild beyond description. The
nomination of Grant produced such
enthusiasm that the demonstrations
ceased only with exhaustion. The
cheering in the hall was taken up by
the tens of thousands outside. The
city is wild with excitement; cannon
booming, bands playing, professions
marching and everybody seems we'll
pleased. Mass meetings are being
held at various points in the city.
The one at Uuion League building has
100000 people.
Good news comes in from all parts
of the Union
The nomination O: Wilson was
brought about by the labor leagues.
The editorial page says this:
The country wakes up this morning
to find U. 8. Grant and Henry Wilson
the candidates of the National Re-
publican party for president and vice
president.
So far as Grant is concerned, at
least, the announcement will be re-
ceived as matter of course; the par
ty has been determined upon it so
long that for a year it has been gen.
orally conceded that 1t waited only
the meeting of the convention for this
announcement to be made 1t will
therefore be received without much of
a popular ripple, a general that's
all right" being about the general re-
sponse. 1t is the first instance, we
believe, in the history of the party
that such result has been attained.
While in the editorial columns of
the Journal the election of the nom-
inees of the Philadelphia convention
will be strenuously urged, the news
and telegraph departments will con-
tain unbiased reports of the progress
Of the important canvass and the
prospects of the candidates. This is
therefore very favorable opportu-
nifty to subscribe.
Thrusts at Mr.. Greeley.
Here is another excerpt from the
editorial page of the st. Louis paper:
Mr.. Beecher says that if the United
States were only thirty-seven PACED
Tribune Mr.. Greeley would edit it bet
ter than any other man. Whereupon
Theodore Tilton responds: "Our no.
tional affairs need nothing. more than
the same kind of oversight and direc-
ton which the editor of great paper
gives his journal. and if properly
edited good many things which now
trouble the country very much would
not get into print" Tilton could
doubtless edit" a lunatic asylum to
the acceptance of the inmates, for he
would have for them the fellow feel
ing that engenders kindness.
And here are some more thrusts at
Greeley:
The Louisville Courier-Journai sell
flshly says: Nobody should object to
Greeley because he is teetotaler.
His abstinence leaves all the more
whiskey for the rest of u.s."
A man with white hat named
Greeley
Once said let the South go out
freely;
Said another she shan't,
And his name 1t was Grant,
And he'll be elected, not Greeley.
Mrs. Stoves Palmetto Leaves"
from Florida in the Christian Union
are considerably wiser than Greeley's S
agricultural recipes.
