Wolcott's KotCflcatlon. Speech.
Senator Wolcott's notification . speech!
follows:
"Governor Roosevelt: The pleasant
duty has devolved upon this committee
appointed by the Republican National
Convention and representing every state
in the Union, to make known officially
to you the action of the convention and
to hand you a copy of the platform It
adopted, which embodies the principles
of the party. The representatives of tbei
Republican party in convention assembled
unanimously and spontaneously selected
you as the candidate for the party at the
next election for the high and dignified
office of Vice-President of the Unitetd
States.
"You were so selected through no wish
of your own,, but because the convention
believed that you. among all the Repub
licans In the land were best fitted and
and adapted to be the associate of our
President In the Important and stirring
campaign upon which we are entering.
The convention realized that you were
needed In the great Empire State, whoso
executive you now are, and whose people
would delight still further to honor you,
but it was believed that your path .pf
duty In the future lay in & field of Na
tional usefulness.
"You are still a young man, as years
are counted; but the country knows more
of you than of most of its citizens. You
were Identified, and will ever be associat
ed with those efforts toward reform in the
Civil Service which command the ap
proval of intelligent men of all political
parties. Your stirring love of adventure
has made you a more familiar figure in
Western camps and on "Western plains
than on the avenues of your native city.
Your sterling Americanism has led you
to the masters' of our earlier history
and you have told us of the win
ning of the West, with a charm
and spirit that have made us all
better lovers of our country: while your
tales of Western hunting and adventures
have filled the breast of every lad In the
land with envy and emulation, and what
ever doubts may have existed In tne past,
now that you are our candidate fhey will
be believed io be true by every, good
Republican.
"There Is no man whose privilege it
was to know you and to associate with
you while you were the Assistant-Secretary
of the Navy under President McKln
ley's appointment who Is not eager to
testify to the great ability and fidelity
which characterized your Incumbency of
that office. Of your services to our coun
try during the late war with Spain, it is
not necessary for me to speak. Your
name will ever be identified with the
heroic achievements of our Army, and
your warmest friends and most devoted
admirers are the gallant band of rough
riders whom you led to victory.
"This bright and glorious record, how
ever, did not lead that great convention
at Philadelphia to Insist upon you as its
candidate, although It fills with pride the
heart of every true American. The Re
pub'.ican party has chosen you because
from your earliest manhood until today,
in whatever post you have been called
upon to fill, and notablj during your two
years or splendid service as chief execu
tive of the State of New Yor.k. you have
everywhere and at all times stood for
that which was clean and uplifting and
against everything that was sprdid and
base. You have shown the people of this
country that a political career and good,
citizenship could so hand in hand and
that dex-otlon to public welfare was con
sistent with porty membership and party
organization. There Is not a young man
in those United States who hanot found
in vour life nnd influence an Incentive to
be'tr things and hlcher Ideals.
"With President McKlnley you lead our
ticket to vlctorj'. for you have both been
tested nnd In vour honor, your patriot
ism and your civic virtues the American
pennlo hiVn nrirt- rnd rnnfldenc."
Senator Wolrotfs address was fre

Roosevelt Accepts the Honor.
When Senator Wolcbtt concluded, Gov
ernor Roosevelt stopped a pace forward
a-na rcpiiea. iiis voice was cleir and
iirm. ana as ne proceeded there were
several interruptions of applause. He
Ea:a:
.sir. Chairman: I accept the honor
tumi-irca upon me witn the keenest and
deepest appreciation of what it means
and, above all, for the responsibility that
goes with It Everything tint it Ie in
my power to do will be done to secure
the re-election of President McKlnley, to
whom it has been given in this crisis of
the National history to stand for and
embody the principles which He closest to
the heart of every American worthy the
name.
"This is very much more than a mere
party contest We stand at the parting
of the ways, and the people have now to
decide whether they shall go forward
along the path of prosperity and high
honor abroad, or whether they will turn
their backs upon what has been done dur
ing the past three years, whether thev
will plunge this country into an abyss of
misery and disaster, or, what Is worse
than even misery and disaster, shame.
I feel that we have a right to appeal not
merely to Republicans, but to all good
Citizens, no matter what may have been
their party rfflliatlons in the past, and
to ask them on the strength of the rec
ord that President McKlnley has made
during the past three years, and on the
strength of the threat Implied in what
was dono in Kansas City a few days, ago,
to stand shoulder, to shoulder with us in
perpetuating the conditions under which
we have reached a degree of prosperity
jvever before attained in the Nation's
history, and under which abroad we have
put the American flag on a level where
it never before in the history of the coun
try bas been placed. For these reasons I
feel we have a right to look forward
with confident expectation to what the
verdict of the people will be next Novem
ber, and to ask all men to whom the weil-
-belng of the country and the honor of the i
National name are dear to stand with us I
aa we fight for prosperity at home and.
the honor of the- flag abroad."
A round of applause broke out as the
Governor concluded; but he checked It;
instantly by saying
"Gentlemen, one moment, please. Here,
Ned," he cried to Senator Wolcott. "this
is hot to the National committee, but I
want to say this to my friends, friends
of my own stite, who are here. Just let
mo say how I appreciate seeing eo many
of you here today. I want to say I am
more than honored and pleased at having
been made a candidate for Vice-President
on the National ticket, but you cannot
lmiirinft how badly 1 feel at leaving the
men with whom I have endeavored and
worked for civic decency and rignteous
ness and honesty in New York."
This little postscript to his formal
speech was heartily, applauded, and the
Governor remarked: -
"I shall ask you, gentlemen, please tol
step this way, as some roisguiaea pno
tographers wish to take our pictures."
The crowd followed him to the east
veranda, where the photographs were
taken. Refreshments were then served
on the porches and in the dining-room,
and a half-hour's general conversation
followed. "
On reaching tbe Tallway station, the
following telegram was sent to President
McKlnley:
"The committee appointed to notify
Governor Roosevelt of his nomination to
the Vice-Presidency have filled that pleas
ant duty, and join in this-message of con
gratulation and good-will. .

POPULISTS' GET TATE OFFICES BY
DROPPING TOWXE.
Fusion Effected .After the Conven
tion Had Been. In' Session.
Twenty-Six' Honrs.
LINCOLN, Neb., July 11. Nebraska Fu
slonlsts, in state conventions, beginning
at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, com
pleted their work at 5:30 o'clock this even
ing, after an almost continuous session.
The ticket follows:
Governor William A. Poyntcr, Boone
County, Populist.
Lieutenant-Governor E. A. Gilbert,
York County, Silver Republican.
Treasurer-S. B Howard, Holt County,
Populist.
Attorney-General William D. Oldham,
Buffalo County. Democrat.
Auditor H. S. Grtess, Clay County, Pop
ulist. Land Commissioner H. R. Carey, Saun
ders County, Populist.
The three state central committees, to
whom had been delegated the selection of
Presidential Electors, reported the fol
lowing before the convention adjourned,
and their action was ratified:
Frank Ransom. J. H. Fclber, W. A.
Garrett, W. G. Swan, Peter Ebberson.
.Robert Oberfelder, L. M. Wcnte, -J.
Hughes.
The conventions were the most remark
able since fusion became a factor in Ne
braska politics. National politics were
injected into the proceedings, and at one
time threatened a split between the Dem
ocrats and Populists. The question was
over the indorsement of Stevenson for
Vice-President by the Populists, purely a
sentimental one, but it provoked a storm
in that convention which practically
blockaded all business from U o'clock
last night up to the time the recess was
taken at 5 o'clock this morning.
The excitement developed by the dis
pute over the apportionment of state of
fices among the three parties was height
ened by the springing of the Vice-Presidential
question, and it reached the cli
max At 4 o'clock this morning, when M.
F. Harrington, one of the leading Popu
lists of the West, warned the convention
that it would wreck the party if it In
dorsed the withdrawal of Towne from the
ticket and conceded to the other Demo
cratic demands. Mr. Harrington asserted
that the way to Increase the Mlddle-of-the-Road
movement was to throw Towne
over and put in his place one who had
never been in sympathy with the Popu
lists. He said Towne's withdrawal would
lose North Dakota, South Dakota, and
Kansas, and the Fuslontsts would have
to fight for their lives in Nebraska,
J. H. Edmlston. chairman of the Popu
llBt State Central Committee and vice
chairman of the National Committee, was
even more radical. He declared If the
Populists did -not stand their ground, hold
their place on 'the National ticket and
Insist on the bulk of the state offices,
they could never bold another National
convention. ,
Just at a time when the sentiment
seemed strong for breaking away from
all alliances, a motion to take a recess
prevailed. The Democrats adjourned at
the same time, and the leaders got to
gether for conference, with the result
that the Democrats yielded everything
except one office on the state ticket, and
divided with the Populists and Silver Re
publicans the eight Presidential Electors.
SOUTH DAKOTA FUSIOXISTS.
Democrats and Populists Make Up
a Mixed Ticket.
YANKTON, S. D., July 12. When the
Populist State Convention assembled to
day, the Populists spent two hours in
speechmaking and singing campaign
songs. They then adopted the platform
and resolutions as presented by the com
mittee and took a recess until afternoon.
The platform Indorses the Sioux Falls
platform and scores the Administration
in strong terms. It demands a protector
ate for the Philippines and wants Porto
RIcans made citizens of the United States.
The resolutions indorse Senator Petti
grew s course in the Senate and Governor
Lee's administration and pledge support
to Pettlgrew for Senator and Towne for
Vice-President, unless otherwise ordered
by the National committee.
The Democrats spent the day in speech
making, waiting for the committee on
conference. Both conventions recon
vened this afternoon to reclve the report
of the conference committee. After a
heated discussion a substitute for the
report of the committee was adopted, and
the committees In each case were Instruct
ed to confer again under instructions
from the convention. Late this afternoon
the conference committees finally agreed
upon a substitute. The Democratic com
mittee then marched Into the Populist
tent amid great enthusiasm.
Joseph B. Moore and Andrew E. Lee
were nominated for Congress. B. H.
Lien, of Sioux Falls, was nominated for
Governor. Louis N. Grill was selected for
chairman of the State Central Committee.
The Populists tonight npmlnated the
remainder of the ticket as follows! Lieutenant-Governor,,
Abe VanOstel; Attorney-General.
A. E. Hitchcock: Superin
tenent of Public Instruction, Miss Lena
Aasved; Railroad Commissioner, W. T.

enganner and others having withdrawn.
Before the result of the ballbt was an
nounced a severe thunder storm came
ver the wigwam, but it was not equal to
the storm anions' the delegates when at
tempts were made to make changes from
Hall and Swisher to Schecr. Under the
rules no charjges were allowed by the
chair. Scheer had a majority when tho
Call of the counties was completed. Con
fusion reigned for a, long time In a dis
pute over the rules. The nomination of
Scheer was made unanimous on motion of
Hubbard of Wheeling, the leader of the
Hall forces.

SINCLAIR QUITS BRYATT.
Idaho's
Auditor Will Support
the
Republican Party,
Bartlett Sinclair, State Auditor of Idaho,
will support the Republican National,
state and local ticket. Mr. Sinclair was
elected to his present office on a fusion
ticket by a majority upwards of 4000.
In the midst of his term of office the
Coeur d'Alene riot occurred, and Mr.
Sinclair was put In charge of the ad
ministration of martial law. He was one
of the principal witnesses in tho sub
sequent Congressional investigation. Mr. I
Sinclair supported. Bryan on the silver
issue, and was nominated by the Silver
Republicans for State Auditor. Mr. Sin
clair was In Spokane July 9, on his way
to Boise.
"I have decided to support the Mc
Klnley Administration and our state Re
publican ticket throughout," said he to
a reporter of the Spokesman-Review.
"However hard we may try to force the
silver Issue to the front again It cannot
be ddne. It Is no longer a party ques
tion. No political (Jucstlon was ever more
thoroughly disposed of. I left the Repub
lican party because when sliver was a
question there were 6000 or SO00 Idaho Re
publicans who took the same view. Those
who think as I do will return to the Re
publican party, the creed of which was
and is otherwise acceptable. There is
now no common attitude for the Silver
Republican party and the Democratic
party to take, since the silver question
cannot be contorted Into an Issue. The
declaration In the Democratic platform
favoring 16 to 1 is nothing short of child
ish consistency.
"Yes, I think the position of the two
parties on the question of law and order
has had much to do with my determina
tion to support McKlnley. The State of
Idaho was put to a severe test and the
McKlnley Administration was friendly to
us, although the Democratic party in
Congress unanimously condemned us for
trying to sustain the law against the as
saults of the dynamiters and anarchists.
The Republican party is the party of law
and order In Idaho and everywhere else.
"No Republican took part In the assas
sinations and violence of the Coeur
d'Alenes. They were either Populists or
Democrats. I know this of my personal
knowledge. The dynamite methods are
distinctly Popullstlc. Republicans, by
training and belief, oppose violence. In
deed, whatever charges may be brought
against the Republican party. Its law and
order tendencies will never be Impeached.
In order to prevent platform condemna
tion of the Idaho Administration for Its
course In the Coeur d'Alene the law and
order element of the Democratic party
and the whole body of Silver Republicans
were forced to appeal for months to Dem
ocratic leaders.
"Of course It is unpleasant to cease
political co-operation with some of my
Democratic friends In Idaho. There are
Governor St'eunenberg; State Treasurer
Rice, Attorney-General Hays. Jay Czesek,
State Mine- Inspector, and Democrats of
their patriotic Impulses, with whom I
have been associated for nearly two
years. These men represent the very best
in Democratic politics, and for that rea
son are not in high favor with the
Democratic organization of the state, nor
the rank and file of the party. The mag
nificent administration of Governor Steun
enberg, which has been non-partisan,
would at the hands of the Republican
party secure him the greatest applause,
but in the Democratic party will well
nigh encompass his defeat and retire
ment. His administration, for economy,
wisdom and fairness, should place him
in undisputed leadership of his party; In
stead, however, he is compelled to strug
gle to retain simple membership In It.
He is reviled and abused for his patriotic
and fearless devotion to tho law3 'of his
6tate, and even threatened with impeach
ment by members of his own political
party for doing his official duty.
"I have written to the Republican State
Committee and the Kootenai County Com
mittee of the Republican party tendering
my services as a Republican, and will
take tho stump for our canaiaates mis
Fall."

CLOTHES AS PERQUISITES.
Madrid Family Gets Spanish Royal
Epiphany Attire.
The rarest collection of women's and
men's clothes 13 said to 6e owned by
the Duke of HIJar. Count of Rlbaldeo, In
Madrid. From the year 1432 up to the
present time tbe Count of Rlbaldeo hart
received every Spring, as a present from
the rulers of Spain, the clothing worn
by the sovereign on the day of the Epiph
any, says the New York Times. The
collection therefore Includes more than
450 garments representative of the height
of fashion of their various times and for
both sexes and all ages from the babies'
skirts and gills' frocks to the garments
of old men nnu women.
The annual presentation of the gowns
at the residence of the Ribaldeos Is ac
companied by curious ceremonies that
have been n vogue ever since the first
presentation In 1422. Escorted by a regi
ment of cavalry, in command of a Colo
nel, a royal chamberlain sluing In a royal
gala coach drawn by six full-bred nda
Juslan horses, proceeds to the Rlbaldeo
palace. Beside the Chamberlain slt3 a
servant carrying on his knees a silver
tray, whereon the garments are placed.
Upon reaching the palace the Chamber
lain and the servant enter and deliver
the garments to the Count, who, in hum
ble words, expresses his thanks.
The origin of this ceremony was In 1431.
when the King of the Castiles, Juan III.
was visiting Toledo. A number of the
dignitaries of Spain, headed by the Infant
Don Enrique, had conspired to assassi
nate the King. The murder was to take
place at a banquet on the day of Epiph
any, at which the King was to be present.
During the banquet Don Rodrlgo Villan
drando. Count of Rlbaldeo. approached
the King, and after a few hastily whis
pered words with him. left the hall with
the monarch for a side room. The digni
taries supposed from this that their plan
had been discovered, and with drawn
swords rushed after the King to cut oft
his escape. In a side room they found
a man clad In the royal robes. They fell
upon him and hacked him to pieces, and
made their escape. The King, however,
had changed clothes with the loyal Count,
and It was the Count of Rlbaldeo who
had been killed.
In recognition of the sacrifice Juan III
gratefully extended to the descendants ot
the Count the privilege to sit at the
King's right at the annual royal dinner
on the day of the Epiphany, and to bo
.presented with the garments worn by the
ruler on that occasion.
Flno-rant Red Tape.
London Daily Mall.
A flagrant exhibition of alleged govern
mental red tape Is reported from Natal
by the Central News It Is stated that
during the siege ot Ladysmlth when food
ran short civilians were necessarjjy
thrown upon the resources of the Impe
rial Government for supplies.
The Commissariat Department were not
authorized to feed tho civilian population
of Ladysmlth, which during the siege
numbered about S00, and so It was found
nocessary to ask the Mayor ot Ladysmlth
to give his personal guarantee that In
case of a demand for compensation on
the ptrt of the Imperial Government he
would find the money In payment for the
food consumed.
Of course, It was never supposed for a
moment that the Imperial Government
would ever so far forget its obligations
as to demand payment for the supplies,
but It now appears that this demand has
been made In the most peremptory man
ner, and the Mayor of Ladysmlth has
been asked to pay several thousand
pounds to the Imperial Government. This
extraordinary Incident has created an In
tense sensation throughout Natal, and It
Is said that the Governor. Sir W. nely
Hutchlnson, has been approached and is
movfng In the matter.
Used in Controlling Clocks.
Indianapolis Press.
One of the Interesting ploces of appara
tus recently shown at the Royal Society
soiree at London, was a clock which was
controlled from a distance by means of
wireless telegraphy. The signals were
transmitted by Hertz waves, and there
was a short vertical wire, a coherer, re
lay and local battery, which worked the
mechanism of the lock. It was stated
that with the use of a standard pendu
lum and this apparatus all the clocks in
town would be kept alike without the
use of wires.
Feeding the Elephnnts.
