 fl Vice President.

Utica. N. Y., Aug. 21.--Utica devoted itself today to the notification o1 James $ Sherman of his nomination to the vice presidency by the Repuh- lican party. The early trains ana trolleys brought large numbers or people to the city, for the event has been prepared with an idea of mak- ing it holiday for the central and northern parts of the state.
 MT. Sherman was recently ill, but has been steadily improving for the last fortnight and was quite fit to meeting the demands of the day. He had a great many callers yesterday and last evening, but retired early in order to get rested for the work be- l fore him.
 Vice President James $. Sherman, in accepting the vice presidential nom- ination of the Republican party, said in part:
 Our party has never before con- ferred second nomination for the office of vice president upon any man. This distinction was not sought by me- but unsolicited It is the more appreciated. I approve of the admir- able statement of Republican prln- ciples and achievements made i'll the address accepting the nomination for president by William Howard Taft. Upon that platform I gratefully ac- cept the renomination.
 "Our opponents are divided into two camns. riyaling each other in their efforts to excel in disturbing the civic and economic order of the country. The new party thrusts itself forward into the vacuum left by the phantoms of other third parties. Oblivion awaits it. The Democratic party Ill the nation has many times defeated tits Republican rival in August; but only twice has it done so in NoVem- ber.''
 Mir Sherman declared Governor Wilson pedagogue, not a statesman
