+. THE GENESIS INSURGENCY.
.....,.-..-.,-.........-.-..-..

Al the time of the formation of our
ITosent Federal Constitution the po-
l'tlcal parties were divided into FEEDER
q 'sts and Anti Federalists the latter
party being opposed 10 the adoption
uf the constitution boy the several
states. II will he borne I'm mind that
there was a provision in the constitu-
lion ns II left the convention that II
should become effective upon the
adoption boy n majority IN nine OF tho
thirteen states. There was great
fear on the part OF the friends OF the
proposed constitution that II could not
fecurc the requisite number OF states
When the Massachusetts state con-
Nention met TO vote upon the adoption
Of the constitution, the attention or
the whole country was turned To this
convention, for the hopes Of the Anti
Fcderallsts rested upon Massachusetts,.
The Connecticut convention had Just
broken up without accomplishing any
thing, and should Massachusetts, re-
fuse TO ratify, there would be little
hope Of the constitution The out
look in Massachusetts was far from
encouraging. The members of Shay's
hebellion still smoldered there and In
the mountain counties there was great
discomfort, and besides. under the In
tuorTc Of Samuel Adams the people
had become very much attached TO
local sclf-government ana they great
lv feared that If then conslltullo
should be adopted they would be de-
Irived of the benefits and protectlon
OF their local government
There were 35J delegates present IN
the Massachusetts convention, much
larger number than took part In any
ether Of the state conventions. Al
classes were represented Iergym'n'
lawyers business men and farmers
we're all there. The farmers as a rule
were against the adoption OF the CON
sUtution, not SO much on account or
the constitution itself, as Of the men
who made II and the men who were
back Of II. They despised lawyers and
were jealous Of the wealthy merchants,
ana they somehow had the impression
that the constitution was framed for
the purpose Of helping these lawyers
and wealthy merchants.
A farmer delegate, Amos Sinsletary,
lr addressing the convention, spoke as
follows:
These lawyers and men Of learning
and moneyed men that talk SO finely
ard gloss over matters SO smoothly to
make us poor nliterate people swallow
the pin, expect to get into congress
themselves and they mean to be the
managers OF the constitution. They
nlcan to get all the money into their
hands and then they will swallow MS
up. Just as the whale swallowed up
Jonah"
1t was at this point where farmer
Jonathan Smith arose to reply, as fol-

They marched to the platform while
everybody yelled
Assembled in Orchestra Hall were
the delegates who had been instructed
to come to tie Republican national
convention and nominate Roosevelt.
With them were the contestants
whose cases had been thrown out by
the National Committee.
They were determined, enthusiastic,
and they were flanked by great gath
ering of Roosevelt supporters shout
ing, cheering, singing, screaming, de-
faint crowd that could say but one
thing; 1--WE want Teddy"
It was simple ceremony, but most
significant when viewed in it's relation
to the country's affairs.
A resolution was passed nominating
Roosevelt. He spoke In reply accept
ing it.
The proceedings were marked by
wild enthusiasm.
The party was born. Governor Had
ley, of Missouri; Governor Deneen, of
Illinois; Senator William E. Borah, of
Idaho, and Senator William Bristow,
of Kansas, were conspicuous for their
absence, but the crowd cared nothing.
= The people in the hall-men and wo-
men alike-felt they were able to
make the fight themselves and they
were content. And when the nominal
ing resolution had passed and Colonel
Roosevelt had taken the platform it
seemed as if human strength and hui
man voices could do no more,
A speech nominating Colonel Roose-
velt was made by Comptroller William
A. Prendergast, of New York, who was
to have presented the Colonels name
to the convention. Dean William
Draper Lewis, of the University OF
Pennsylvania Law School, who was to
make one of the seconding speeches
delivered the address which he had
prepared for the Republican conven
ton.
81 want to say that if popular pri
mary were held in New York to-day
Mr.. Roosevelt would poll more votes
than Mr.. Taft" said Mr.. Prendergast
81 do not believe that in his inner con
seriousness the President can look with
any honest pride upon his nomination
because he knows it was obtained by
men who have no place in decent so
ciety."
During the cheering that followed
the Pennsylvania delegates arrived
and were loudly greeted, Resuming
his speech, Mr. Prendergast advanced
the ten Commandments as the particu
lar slogan of the new party.

There we're a good many Interruptions
At the Colonel's request that the
Roosevelt delegates should not vote
there were cheers and ieers.

dead his friends ought to know" said
a man in the gallery and there was an
uproar.
After the hullaballoo over the Col

marks was over the regular program
me was taken up.
First came the report OF the rules
committee and then ex-VicePresident
Fairbanks, chairman of the committee
on resolutions came forward to read
the platform. The Taft men cheered
him.
No minority report on platform was
presented by the Roosevelt men. Sen.
ator Owen of Wisconsin offered the
La Toilette platform containing the
Senator's well known doctrines.
Both sides cheered when the vote
on the platform was announced. Il
was 666 ayes, 16 absent, 343 not voting

ventiOn in Orchestra Hall. Mr.. Roose-
welt accepted the nomination, and in
q brief speech told his delegates to GO
home, organize State tickets, place
ticket in each Congressional district
and then call another great national
convention at which he would accept
the nomination at the hands of pro-
gressives of all parties.
In the regular convention Mr. Taft
was nominated on the first ballot.
Mr. Taft was PLACED in nomination
by Judge Harding, of Ohio, who ex-
tolled the virtues of the President and
scored the enemies of the party.
The convention adopted conserva-
tive platform, very similar to the plat
forms of the Republican party in past
years.
The vote on Vice-President was:
Sherman, 597; Borah, 81; Hadley, IA;
Merriam, 20; Beverage, 2; Gillette, l.
Three hundred and thirty-eight dele
gates were present but did not vote
Eighty-five were absent.
Mr.. Roosevelt's "rump" convention
in Orchestra Hall was by far the most
1t was presided over by Gov. John
son, of California. Among those pres
ent were Senator Dixon, Former Gov
ernor Fort, of New Jersey; Frank A.
Munsey and all of the Roosevelt dele
gates who were thrown out of the reg
ular Republican convention by the Taft
steam roller.
The Roosevelt delegates who refused
to bolt with him comprised such lead
ers as Governor Hadley, Stubs and
Borah. They and their delegates re-
manned in the regular Republican con-
vention, but did not vote
President Taft was renominated at
the end Of a wild and riotous day which
had produced everything from argu-
ment to fist fights.
The final session of the convention
began at las, when Senator Roots
gavel whacked the table.
The convention had been adjourned
to meet at 10 o'clock, but at that hour
only few delegates were in their
seats. 1t was weary and faded look
ing lot that came slowly into the Coli
scum. Not only had they been getting
little sleep, but the long sessions
meant sandwiches for sustenance until
well along in the evening.
There were few vacant seats in the
gallery when the days proceedings be-
gan and few left their seats through
the long session.

CONVENTION CHATTER AND CHAFF

The Blaine Club of Cincinnati, which
came to Chicago 375 strong, broke
ranks before the nominations and 300
left for their homes on a special train.
A negro delegate from South Caro-
lima is nursing a throat with a real
raspy feeling. This delegate discov-
cred that he could pull off perfect
imitation of a Mississippi steamboat
whistle. He and his friends were so
elated with this discovery that the

all this architecture are arranged the
greenhouses or winter garden In
which the rare or fragile plants, the
exotic trees, such as the rose laurels,
the pomegranate and orange trees,
find shelter. And the picturesque
pleasure of this image is such that
one can easily imagine it adorned
with the most varying and brightest
colors in all possible shades of red,
green, yellow and blue-in a word,
like veritable picture.

Since, therefore, the great gardener

ion 1t is permissible to expatiate upon
the beauties OF the gardens at YER
sailles, which are unquestionably his
masterpiece.
Designed as they are with consum-
mate art, these gardens are always
charming, though nowhere in them is
there a trace of abandonment or
fancifulness. They have the particu-
larity of giving the impression of be-
ing perfect work by reason of the
art, judgment and wit expended upon
them, and for this reason such poets
as Alfred de Musset have never been
able to admire their precise, stiff and
rather solemn style. But, on the 9th.

crepitude or with wrinkle, and
which ends by triumphing over all
the caprices Of taste, fashion and

There Is famous point in the gar.

chosen by Louis XIV. himself to af,

is in the axis of the Tapis Vert, at the

it one can embrace in magnificent
view the perspective of the Chateau

derisively.
When the Washington delegates at
large were reached a Roosevelt dele
gate interrupted the proceedings with
a point of order.
Asked to state it, he said: Our
complaint is that the steam roller is

Even Chairman Root had to laugh.

This was unexpected except by a
