IRREGULAR TRADE

 New York, Jun 4e 15.-Bradstreet's tomorrow will saE:
 Crop advises, considered as a whole, are favorable, and industrial demands, particularly in the iron and steel trade, are active, but trade re- ports manifest irregular tendencies. Apparently retail dealers have enjoy ed anything hut a good normal spring season, and in consequence discount sales seem quite numerous in the East and elsWhere. Moreover, retail dealers are disposed to keep stocks down to the bone, wherefore recorders are not of conspicuous proportions, though it must be said that this very attitude causes insistent. demand for ordered
 "On the other hand, there is more or less doing on fall account, and some lines of textiles for next spring indicate that sellers are very firm in their views as to prices. But as a general proposition buyers are adverse to loosening up while political ques- tions are pending.

Roosevelt by his supporters.

AeoooeFell Dy HIS supporters.
 P But not alone are tie two canlpaisiias. similar ill these particulars. The con- structionof the Grant and Roosevelt campaigns has many points in com mon, for Grant was opposed by Blanc -even as Roosevelt is opposed by Taft.
 The fight in the convention hall was one of the bitterest ever fought in the annals of Republican party history.
 The convention convened in Chicago on June 2, 1880, with over 10000 spec tators lining in the galleries to watch the battle royal. And for over weeh the Blaine and Grant forces battled tofetfsr before Garfield, dark horse, won fhe\ nomination.
 Cotklin opened the nomination hy presehtihg the name of Grant, and he did it With an imperial grandeur and With degree of eloquence that was impressive. Had he been as discreet as he was eloquent his speech would have been perfect exhibition of inn pressive oratory; but Conklin, inspir- ed by his love of Grant, antagoniZed the Blaine delegates by his pungent satire anent the Blaine cohorts who disregarded their instructions to vote as unit for Grant
 He referred to Grant as a candidate without patronage without emis- saries, without committees, without bureaus, without telegraph wires run ming from his house to this conven- tion hall, or running from his house anywhere" His speech, however, left Grant weaker instead of stronger.
 Following Conklins speech for Grant and Garfield's speech for Sher- man, the name of Blaine was present. ed by Joy Joys advocacy of Blaine was tame and disappointing, beside the masterly orations of Conklin and Garfield. But Blaine's candidates were strong, and were firm in their conviction of ultimate victory.
 The balloting began. Three hun- dred and seventy eight votes were nec- cessary for a choice On the very first ballot Grant received BOA votes, while Blaine was given 2S4 Sher- man got 93.
 Garfield himself got one vote on the second ballot. Blaine lost two votes and Grant gained one. And so the factions struggled on for thirty three consecutive ballots.
 For thirty-three ballots Grant never got more than 3O9 votes. Blaine never more than 2S5, Garfield never rose above two votes in all.
 The thirty-fourth ballot began-the second week of the convention and the delegates, worn out with the strug- gle prayed for a compromise candi- date. It was here that Garfield began to display strength. He was indeed the only logical compromise candidate, though many favored Senator Windon, of Minnesota. His landslide started

on those committees, which are con- prlsed. 1... of the ,.esrsdentials, X spermanent organizations, rules, order of business and resolutions committees. The convention then usually adjourns till noon of the next day.
 The next session usually names a permanent chairman, then the report of the resolutions committee which contains the platform, or the princi- pies and programme of the party, is read and ordinarily sustained. It is also at this session that the credent lals committee reports on the con- tested southern delegates which have been appealed from the decision of the National Committee.
 Then fellows the real business of the convention. The roll of States is called. Alabama" is sung out. and some prominent member from that State rises, steps to the rostrum and proposes with an oratorical flour ish the Alabama candidate. The roll call completed and all the candidates proposed, the clerk then runs down the roster to Wyoming, the chairman of each delegation rising as his state is called, and announcing the number of votes for each of the candidates. A majority means the seleltion of a candidate and ends the strife.
 The complex machinery that cul- inmates in the battle that will take place here on Tuesday is set in mo- tion every four years by a call from the Republican National Committee This call bids the state and district conventions convene for the selection of delegates to the National Conven- tion.
 Each state is allowed twice as many delegates as it has. electoral votes Thus, two delegates are chosen for each Congressional district by the party convention of that district, and from four to eight for the whole state. These latter are called dele gates-at-large. Each delegate has an alternate.
 These delegates before this year were selected on strict party lines and through a machine vote. 'Tht direct primary was adopted in many states this year with the result tha two sets of delegates were placed be fore the voters, one for President Taft, and the other pledged to the support of Roosevelt.
 In states where the direct primary law does not apply, the different counties or other subdivisions of the state convene and provide for the choice of delegates from their respec. tive sections to the state conventions.
 Then the county committee issues calls to the various precinct commit l tees, or precinct heads who summon the voters of their districts to pri mary election to select national ant state delegates. The state delegates convene the state convention, and SC lect the delegates-at-large to the na.

Great Gathering of Repub1i- cans in Chicago7<Will Be
 Spectacular Affair.
THE USUAL ROUTINE
MT. ROSeWater Will Preside and Mr. Root Will Be the Temporary
 Chairman.

Chicago, June 15.-Though no man within these United States, or upon the terrestrial globe, for that matter, can forecast the choice of the Re- publican National Convention in the matter of Republican presidential nominee the manner with which that choice will be made can be foretold with certainty, and will prove an in- teresting. commentary on the evolu- ton of American politics.
 The rules that govern national convention, as they will be practiced here on Tuesday, are neither the wise provision of those fathers of the na- ton who framed the constitution, nor are they the conscious contrivance of some master mind. They are, in fact, political inheritance handed down to the present day by generations of political ancestors who found increas- ing difficulty in choosing suitable candidates to head the party as the years rolled around, and the country grew in size.
 In the first days of the Republic. the presidential nominations were not made ty convention at all. President ial aspirants received the votes of the presidential electors by unanimous consent. Indeed, in the first two elections. those of 17S9 and 1792, there was no call for presidential nomina- lions. for the whole nation wanted General Washington as it's Chief Ex- ecutive.
 It was not until 1900 that the first germ of what has grown to be the greatest political show in America was planted. It's establishment came through the hesitancy of the (Demo- cratic) Republicans in the choice o' vice-president to run with Thomas Jefferson, and it's birth took place when small body of congresslohal members met to recommend Aaron Burr for that office.
 From 1900 to 1924 nominations were made by Congressional caucuses. rms nr,ctice however, received its death hlow through it's alleged usurpatlon o] the people. The selection or presl' dent;a1 candidates was then delegated to the State legislatures, popular meetings and spontaneous endorse ments of "favorite sons.'
 If Was not until 1S4O that the pre- sent form of National Convention re- ceivea it's try,out. Since then there have been nominating conventions the form by which the presldentia choices are made coming down to the n,esent day with little change.
 The precedents established by thN long list of nominating conVehtloii' are iron clad, and control ahsoiutei' averv action of the national body' Int only action therefore, that could pos .;h,v break the routine of the Re ,nblican National Convention "heh ! meets at the Auditorium at noon oi Tuesday, is the bolt of either tn' naft or Roosevelt factions. Such al action has not occurred since le9o !. when Senator Henry M. Teller O I (olorado, led bolt from the Kepup ,;can Convention of that year on th' free silver question. Even Doi' however. would but momentariiy up sct the routine of the convention. tn

presidential candidates being chosen ;'y the remaining delegates under the same rales 'thate nave guided national conventions for decades.
 ne following form then will he ob- served when the Republican nominat- Ing hody meets on Tuesday,:
 shortly before noon, the 1,O76 dele gates and their alternates will march dow n the isles of the Auditorium and take their places before the rostrum Tte delegates will be grouped under standards bearing the names of their states, and will be placed toward the i1cnt of the hall. Their alternates will sit behind them, toward the rear of the auditorium
 It might be mentioned here that the duties of the alternates are practical ly nil, their office being simply to re- lieve the regular delegates in case i Of illness or incapacity.
 Iii addition to the alternates and the delegates, there will be from twelve to; fifteen thousand spectators, newspaper men, and minor function aries.
 When the time comes for the open- ,ng of the convention, probably at noon, or shortly thereafter, Chairman Victor Rosewater, of the National Re- publican Committee, will rap for or der, a short invocation will he said, and he will deliver an address on the principles and objects of the Repub- lican party After this address, some prominent citizen will present hinl with a gravel, and the call for thd convention will be read.
 Following the reading of the call, Chairman Rosewater will rise and an- nounce that the Honorable Elihu Root has been selected by the committee to act as temporary chairman of the convention. The question of seating the temporary chairman will be put to the vote and he will probably be 
 duly installed in office.
 The temporary chairman will then deliver his keynote speech, and will submit list of temporary officers for the convention. These temporary of ficers will consist of secretaries, clerks, messengers, etc., who have been chosen by the National Com mittee.
 A delegate will then arise and move that this temporary list be made per- manent, another will move that the rules governing the last convention be adopted, and still another will rise and move for the appointment of the Committees. From the appointment of the temporary chairman to the motions covering his confirmation, and the adoption of rules, and the ap- pointment of committees, each resolu- tion is carefully prepared and, in the past, there has never been serious contest on these matters.
 The work of selecting the commit l tees is then taken up. each State and territory is allowed one member each
