The Republican State Convention, which
opened here today, "had the largest at
tendance In the history of the party lii
this state. In addition to the nomination
of a state ticket, the convention marks
the opening of the Presidential cam
paign and the canvass of Hon. Stephen
B. Elklns as Senator.
'-Secretary of State Jawsm, chairman
of the state committee, called the con
vention to order at 1:30, and Introduced
Senator Elklns as the temporary chair
man. Senator Elklns said In part:
"The Republican party appeals to the
people for a continuance of confidence,
not only on the record It has made in the
past, but on what it Is doing now, and
what It proposes to do In the future. The
history of the Republican party for the
last 0 years Is substantially the history
of the Nation's progress during this
period the greatest in the history of any
country.
J'The Democratic party should not be
trusted -on the policies it has advocated
and the record it has made. During the
last 40 years, from 1800 to 1900, It had con
trol of the Government In all Its branches
only once, the four years from 1S92 to 1S96.
The effect of Democratic legislation dur
ing these four years cast the darkest
shadow that rests upon the prosperity and
progress of the country.
'The Democratic platform adopted at
the Kansas City convention Indorses the
Chicago platform, with Its attack on the
Supreme Court. It Is both reactionary
and revolutionary. It should be consid
ered as part of the Populist party's plat
form adopted at Sioux Falls. Bryan Is
both Populist and Democrat. The Dem
ocratic party declares vigorously against
trusts. Th's dees not prove that-the Re
publican narty favors trusts any more
than the Democratic parts' does. Con
sidering recrnt disgraceful developments
touching the Ice trust In New York City,
this declaration seems strange and out of
place. .There can be no mistaking the
meaning and purpose of the Republican
platform on this subject. It declares ex
pressly that any trust that destroys com
petition limits production or Increases
prices, should be suppressed. The Re
publican paify makes no indiscriminate
war on private corporations. They are
necessary to the transaction of the busi
ness of the ctrntry. and are authorized
by the law of the Tnlon. The Democrats
charge that tht Republican party breeds
trusts, out they grew and flourished under
the Wllpon law and a Democratic admin
istration, and free trade England is full
of th'sm
"If the Democratic party means by im
perial lgm the Islands we have acquired
from Spain, then there Is a definite Issue
raised.- If taking and holding territory
ceded to us by treaty and governing the
inhabitants thereof without their con
sent is Imperialism, then Jefferron was
the greatest Imperialist of the age. In
taking Guam, Porto Rico, Hawaii and
th Philippines, we have done nothing
more than' to follow the precedents of the
Democratic party In Its best day.
"McKinley and Roosevelt will sweep the
country. The Democrats at the Kansas
City convention dug the grave of tho
Democratic .party and prepared Its corpso
for burial by nominating a candidate once
defeated en a platform already repudiated
by the"people."
'-Senator Elklns read from manuscript,
but was- most forcible In his delivery, es
pecially In his tribute to McKinley and
Roosevelt. He was frequently Interrupted
by applause and was accorded close at
tention. A letter was road from Senator Hanna.
In reply to an Invitation to ba present,
in which he' stated that other duties pre
vented his attendance. A letter was also
read from Senator N. B. Scott, who Is
sick and unable to be present. Both
were received with cheera There were
yells of "Give us another Hanna."
After the appointment of committees
the convention, at 3:30, recessed to 7
P. M., to enable the committees to pre
pare their reports.
On reassembling in tho evening Con
gressman Freer was unanimously elected
permanent chairman.
The resolutions reaffirm the Philadel
phia platform, pledge loyal support to
McKinley and Roosevelt and endorse
Senators Elklns and Scott, and Congress
men Dovener, Dayton and Freer. Sena
tor Elklns is especially endorsed for re
election. Albert B. "White was nominated for
Governor by acclamation. He was then
escorted to the hall and in accepting tho
nomination discussed state Issues at
length. At 11 o'clock the convention ad
journed till 11 o'clock tomorrow.

CLEVELAND, July 1L Cornelius N.
Bliss, ex-Secretary of the Interior, and
National Committeeman Payne, of Wis
consin, arrived here early today. Both
were closeted with Senator Hanna for an
hour or more discussing, it Is understood,
the personnel of the new National execu
tive committee. Shortly after noon Sena
tor Lodge joined the conference.
Asked if he would be a member of the
new executive committee, Mr. Bliss said
that ho preferred not to discuss the mat
ter. He stated that he had come to,
Cleveland to accompany the notification
committee to Canton tomorrow, as the
guest of Senator Hanna.
"While Mr. Hanna maintains that all
the members of the new executive com
mittee have not yet been decided upon
and that the personnel of the committee
cannot be made public until Friday, it
is learned from good authority that at
least four members have been finally
chosen. These are H. C. Payne, of "Wis
consin; J. H. Manley, of Maine; Senator
Scott of "West Virginia, and R. C. Ker
ens, of Missouri.

tion by Both Parties.
NEW YORK, July XL The "World says:
,Had ;the late Rear-Admiral Philip cared
to go Into politics. Governor Roosevelt
would not .have been the Vlce-Presiden-tlal

Philip- had the choice of second place on
either the Republican or Democratic tick
et The offer of the Republican nomination
was mad by Senator Piatt, who called
at tho Navy-Yard and strenuously urged
the former commander of the Texas, to
allow his name to be used at Philadel
phia, The invitation to become the run
ning mate of Mr. Bryan was delivered
by Controller Coler, delegated by Sena
tor Hill, who had picked the National
hero. Both offers were modestly rejected
by the Admiral.
Controller Coler, commissioned by Sen
ator Hill, met tlie Admiral at dinner In
Brooklyn. The Controller and the Ad
miral -were close personal friends. .Dur
ing the dinner, mention was made of the
Presidential candidacy of Admiral Dew
ey. Controller Cole'r Informed the Ad
. jniral In a Jocular way that they were
considering his' name "for the Vice-Presidency.
"Sh-sh-sh dorpt say a word," answered
Admiral Phllp, .-with a deprecating wava
of his hand. 'JPlatt was over to see me
the other day and we went all over that
question from the Republican side."
After dinner the Controller gave the
Admiral to understand that he was seri
ous in his offer. Admiral Philip then re
cited the Incidents of his interview with
Senator Piatt
"I believe Admiral Philip looked on
both offers as a huge Joke," said the Con
troller. "He seemed to enjoy telling of
Mr. Piatt's visit,"

Interfered with such a purpose. Fred
Maddison, Radical, who followed, pro
tested In an excited manner against what
he considered to be a "flagrant abuse of
governmental power and gross waste of
the time of tho House." He declared that
a single clause of tho agricultural hold
ings bill, when under discussion, was
worth more than all the royal parties,
with "all the royalty thrown in." These

Lord Roberts' reports at midnight again
reveal the progress In the Orange River

divisions for service In China Is brought
nearer. The occupation of Bethlehem by
Generals Paget and Clements, after a

now the only towns of the Orange River
Colony not under British control.
The chances of a counterstroke are rap

W. W, ASTOR'S FALL.
His Social Career in London at an
End.
NEW YORK. July 11. A dispatch to the
Journal and Advcr.lier from London, says:
William Waldorf Astor's sudden depart
ure for Germany at the very height of tho
season, the cancelling of all his engage
ments here and the recall of the invita
tions which ho had Issued for house par
ties on next Sunday and on Sunday a
week at Cliveden, are universally re
garded as signalizing the close of his
social career In London.
It Is openly declared here that the
Prince of Wales, who is the supreme ar
bitrator of English society, has cut him,
in consequence of his Insulting treatment
of Captain Sir Milne last week, and Lon
don Is only too ready to take Its cue In
this matter from the future King, as Mr.
Astor, in spite of his wealth and of the
magnificence of his entertainments, has
made many enemies by his odious re
marks and arrogance.
Confirmation Is given to these stories
of Mr. Astor's fall from royal favor by
the fact that his name Is conspicuously
absent from the list of guests asked to the
Queen's garden party at Buckingham Pal
ace tomorrow, for which over 1000 Invi
tations have been issued.

Taxing Titles in Italy.
Chicago News.
Italy has conceived the bold Idea of
taxing titles by way of helping the reve
nue. This will press heavily upon that
large brigade of adventurers who lurk
around the resorts of the Riviera and
haunt Continental spas. If the tax la
established, there will be a sudden and
mysterious disappearance of various
Counts and Barons, and the hopes of
parents with well-dowered daughters of
securing a title will be crushed.

HUES BF 5U11EH TREATMENT
What Summer Means
In the Cure of Catarrh
Thero are contracted during the periods
of Fall, Winter and Spring those ca
tarrhal conditions of the head and throat
and other parts that are engaged In
carrying afr to the lungs. The changeable
weather, the cold spells followed by warm
periods with thaws and dampness, to
gether with a necessity during the cold
weather of living Indoors with the house
shut up and often overheated, the Impure
air of closed buildings, all tend to the
development of disease of those parts
which carry the air to the lungs and to
the ears. Not only does the Inclemency
of Spring, Fall and Winter produce such
diseases, but the same causes that pro
duce the diseases also Interfero with the
efforts of the doctor to cure them. Dur
ing the Summer months things are dif
ferent The climate Is warmer, the high
winds loaded with dusty particles that
irritate the diseased parts that carry the
air are absent; there Is plenty of fresh
air, as the house Is kept open, and this,
together with outdoor life, so Improves
the general health that Nature Is able
to Improve all those diseases that attack
tho breathing tracts and ears. Thus, in
the treatment of all catarrhal diseases,
that which has been frequently urged 13
true, namely, that one month of treat
ment during the Summer, when the lia
bility to catching cold is reduced to the
minimum and Nature lends her aid to the
physician. Is worth two months of the
most skillful and conscientious treatment
during Winter.

THE TREATMENT THAT CURES
Dr. CopelamVs Nevr Treatment,
that has lifted the darkness and
blight of the word "Incurable" from
hundreds of thousands of these
cases In the Throat, Bronchial
Tubes and Lungs, vrorks its curative
action; for tvro reasons:
(1) It reaches every sore spot, from
the orifice of the nose to the deepest
part of the luna-s, to the Innermost
recesses of the middle car.
(S) Instead of irritating, inflaming,
and feeding- the Arcs of the disease,
it soothes, quiets, heals nnd cures.
What Is the treatment that cures these
conditions, once regarded Incurable? By
what process does It restore the diseased
membrane, remove the poison and relieve
the soreness of disease? Let the experi
ence of persons cured and being cured

How it Cures Catarrh.
Here Is a patient taking treatment for
Catarrh of the Head. He breathes the
soothing medication through his nostrils
and the nasal channels open up, the
stuffed-up feeling In the head leaves and
he can breathe naturally through , the
nose again. The dull pains across the
front of the head fade away, and tho
nasal membrane Is soothed until the In
flammation and soreness are all gone.
The bad odor of the breath passes away,
and the lost sense of smell returns. The
dropping In the throat Is checked, the
nose does not stop up toward night any
more, the sneezing and snuffing have
ceased, the discharge from the nose
grows less and less and finally stops al
together. The disease has been checked
and eradicated from the system before
It ever reaches the throat. It has not
been driven down Into hi3 throat or Into
his lungs or Into his ears, as Is so often
done by other treatments.

CATMIi AFFECTIONS
What Summer Means in
the Cure of Lung Troubles
If Dr. Copeland were asked what medi
cal training would accomplish the great-
"Th lRnn to thr ivlth nfMf
constitutions, weak lungs, or a tendency
to Bronchial Troubles or Consumption, of
the vital opportunities that Summer of
fers them."
The best teaching Is the teaching that
will save the most lives. ,
And this lesson to those with the slight
est predisposition to Consumption will
save more lives than any that could be
taught
In the Summer, bronchial diseases may
be more speedily cured; with Naturohelp
lng the work, the result Is more certain;
after the cure the constitution resumes
Its normal condition more quickly; those
so feeble thrt they should not even ex
pose themselves to the weather during
the Winter may visit the offices, and are
helped In tho progress of treatment rath
er than Injured by the exposure to out
door air. With many of the more serious
cases where long-neglected catarrhal dis
ease, Invaded the bronchial tubes which
convey the air to the lung3, has taken its
advance Into the tissues of the lung3
themselves, h?s reached the end of the
road lined with the mucous membrane
upon which it lives and feeds, and, find
ing no new tissue, settles down to feed
upon the lung cells with many of these
serious cases, treatment during the Sum
mer months Is the only hope. Little If
any help can be promised them during
the Winter.
It Is then durlngjhe Summer that the
danger of catarrhal extension Into the
deeper part of the bronchial tubes or
lungs may be averted.
It Is then only during the Summer
months that those more "desperate case3
Involving tho lungs themselves may be
treated with any hope.
How It Cures Deafness.
Here Is another patient who for yearn
had been a sufferer. Every fresh cold
seemed to stay longer than former colds,
and he noticed that his ears got stopped
up and his hearing became duller and
duller, and there were ringing and buzz
ing noises In his cars. The Catarrh had
passed upward nnd backward from the
throat along the Eustachian tubes leading
from the throat into the ear. He had
visited throat doctors, and ear doctors
and catarrh doctors, without relief. In
this condition we find him Inhaling the
never-failing medication and soon he no
tices a change. The noises In the ear
stop, there is no other discharge, the
hearings gets better and finally the tubes
of the ears open up and something seems
I to give way In the head. His hearing
had completely returned. No wonder he
considers me result a marvei.
How It Cures Lung Diseases.
Here Is another pitiful case. He had
all the history of colds and catarrh ex
tending downward from the nose to tho
throat to glottis, to windpipe, to tha
bronchial tubes, and then Into the small
tubes of the lungs. His cough always
troubled him. He raised large quantities
of vile-looking material, he had fever
every afternoon and could not sleep at
night He had no appetite and hi3
strength and ambition failed. He had
night sweats every onco in awhile, and
feared that his end was near.
See him after a course of treatment
A new man. The healing and soothing
medication has time after time sought
out every nook of the disease, even to
the extreme depth of the lung cells, and
bathed and cooled and healed tho mem
brane. There are no more of the foul
discharges, no more cough, no more fe
ver, no more pain, no more night sweats,
The appetite returns, and with it comes
back strength and ambition. The cheeks
fill out and regain their color. The step
becomes buoyant. He has been saved
from lingering but absolutely sure death.
