Utica, N. Y, Aug. 21.-Vice-presi-
dent Sherman was this afternoon for
mally notified of his denomination by
the Republican national convention
which met in Chicago in June. The
ceremonies were held in Roscoe Conk-
ling park where a vast crowd assem-
bled and listened to the notification
address by Senator Sutherland, of
Utah, and the acceptance speech by
Mr.. Sherman.
Accepting the Republican re-nomi-
nation for vice-president, Mr.. Sher-
man said:
"You bear the commission of the
convention which met in Chicago in
June. That convention declared anew
our fidelity to the historic Republi-
can party, our purpose to carry for
ward the work it has so we'll done
and to promise further the prosper
lty, and progress of the United States.
The annals Of American parties do
not record the proceedings Of po-
litical gathering conducted with more
openness, fairness, deliberation, So
briefly and worthy purpose, than that
for which you speak.
mot deceived by the clamor of
those who attempted to bolster up
claims without basis by hundreds of
contests resting on a foundation so
f.imsy that in the light of investiga-
ton most of them melted away like
snow in furnace heat, and were re-
jected by quite or nearlyly an unani-
nous vote, the convention adopted a
platform that rings true for patriot
ism, and constitutional government,
and worthily bestowed a re-nomina-
ton on our present chief executive.
You gentlemen notify me that the
convention named me as the party's
candidate for vice-president. Our
party has never before conferred a
second nomination for that Office up
on any man.
''Fortunate are we Republicans
that our opponents are divided into
two camps, rivalling each other in
their efforts to excel in distributing
the civic and economic disorder in
the country. The new party thrusts
itself into the vacuum left by the
phantoms of other third parties
which have passed into oblivion. OBJ
Hvlon, too, awaits it. The Democrat
ic party in the nation has many times
defeated the Republican party in
August, but only twice has it done
so in November.
The Democratic candidate, Mr..
Wilson, is Bryan and Parker over
again, without the oratory of the one
or the legal training of the other, but
the free trade prejudices of both
seemingly intensified. It is not un-
kind to discern that Wilson is peda-
gogue, not statesman
Sherman then quoted at length
from Wilson's history of the United
States, to show the governors alleged
attitude on the immigration question
and his alleged declaration that Chin.
csc were preferable to some European
immigrants.
Hits the Bull Moose.
Turning to the Bull Moose move
ment, Sherman said:
'The country witnessed a conven.
ton held in Chicago two weeks age
in which there was no roll call OF
delegates, no ballots cast in which rec
bandanas were preferred to the Stars
and Stripes; where the scene was
scarlet overmuch, like the flag of an
archy. The unquestioned master Of
the situation was greeted by his sa
tellites as an inspired leader and the
irreleVance which fell from many lip:
showed itself in the chairman.
"It's right to rule was recognized
and proclaimed
"The Democratic majority in the
mouse OF representatives Is writing
in lurid characters the extent tx
which our opponents are willing tt
go in their Jealous efforts to ruin pro
lection.
sThe crime of this new age is fren.
zied speech and action. Mad haste i!
