for procrastination, his incapacity for
decisions, and the peculiar moods of
suspicion and evasion which he con-
tinually shows
Andrew said MacVeagh has a con-
tinual delusion that his subordinate
officers are conspiring against him.
He has treated his employees with
harsh ingratitude and lack of con
sideration little short of brutality"
In his personal letter to Macveagh,
Andrew accused the secretary of in
gratitude, in that Andrew stood by
the secretary when the latter was
threatened with humiliation"
You cannot forget how stood by
you," Andrew wrote to Macveagh,
when you were on the point of having
taken from your hands what was prob.
ably the most important undertaking
of your administration. When the
white house, in December. 1910, with
out consulting with you and entirely
without your knowledge, entered into
negotiations for an issue Of Panama
bonds, the embarrassment of the sit
uation threatened to force your res
ignation. You will remember that
did everything In my power to avert
your humiliation, and that I Loyalty
agreed to resign and leave the service
with you if your resignation became
necessary"

Not fer more than generation has
the democratic party been deadlocked
50 long in national convention on the
selection Of q presidential candidate.
With its fortyAflve ballots taken
to no avail, the convention had
beaten all records since 1860 for dead
locks in the democratic party.
The democrats have had little diff
Guilty in naming their candidates since
1868. That was a convention which in
many respects was fully as exciting
as the present affair.
The balloting began on Tuesday,
with Pendleton in the lead, and CON
tinued practically without change I'M
til Thursday The excitement in the
convention was intense Finally the
voting became deadlocked between
Hancock and Hendricks. On the TWEEN
ty-second ballet some votes were
thrown to the chairman, Horatio Sey-

stampede set in, he withdrew from the
chair and received the nomination

EDITORIAL COMMENT
ON NOMINATION
Big Papers Seem Well Pleased With
Selection Of Wilson BY the
Democrats.

limited Press Leased Wire Service ]
NEW YORK. July Accommodating
on Wilson'S nomination, the New
York Times today said:
The democratic party in the nomi-
nation Of Wilson is reborn. It will
be recognized, 1t will become eff
cient; it will have once more the con
fidence OF the people. The nomina-
ton of Governor Wilson will unite the
party. It invites, we may almost say,
it commands the return OF prosperity.
It reduces Mr.. Roosevelt's bolt to the
proportions of a republican quarrel"
The World:
"He will be the first president Of the
United States in generation to go
into office owing favors to nobody ex-
cept the American people and under
obligations to nothing except the gen
eral welfare Governor Wilson's nom
ination means the rule of the boss Is
over,
Hearst's Americana:
The New York American will sup
port the nominee. Whoever else may
rise or fall in the fortunes of the last
convention of the democratic party.
William J. Bryan comes out Of it
stained forever and stamped by his
ihyprocrisy. and. his hates as fraud
and a demagogue, false in language,
false in profession and false in friend
ship as to party"
The Tribune:
"The victory of the radical element
at Baltimore will be killing frost to
the hopes of the projectors Of the
new third party. It was even great
er triumph for Mr.. Bryan than it was
for Mr.. Wilson"
The Herald:
Hats off to the governor! He may
not know it, but he is on his way
and that way is the way of radical
of the radicals"
The Press:
ST Mr.. Roosevelt makes an aggres-
sive campaign as candidate on the
third ticket, Mr.. Wilson naturally
would have a better. chance to hold
progressive democrats from going to
the colonel than any other man who
was prominent in the canvass before
the Baltimore convention. To Wilson
the opposing party has lent, for this
campaign. the most powerful suit of
armor he could wear 1t Is republi-
can factionalism. If there Is one spot
