This is the ticket of the Re publican party, completed yesterday aa the Republican national conven tion concluded with the nomination of Janies S Sharnian, ut New York, for vice president, amid a final roar of tumultuou, demonstration Again the vast assembly was «wept with wave on wave of wild, exultant clamor, as the multitude, realizing that at last the work wa« done and the record made upon which the Repub lican party goes before the country, united in one last, mighty outburst id enthusiastic tribute to the men who will be.tr forward the standard in the struggle now at hand. Another inspiring picture was pre sented yesterday as the convention named its candidate for vice presi dent The enormous throngs had waited through an hour of oratory, swrllcring in the he.it laden atinos phere, packed, as before, into solid masses of humanity, with only here and there a few vacant spots in the re mote gallery—the delegates in the broad arena below, the bright-hued lines of femininity in the circling gal lerirs, and over all the enveloping folds of < lid Glory. From the outset it was distinctly a Sherman crowd, with galleries al ready trained into choruses of Sher man songs and an invading host of Sherman marchers starting the echoes ringing with a huge portrait of the New York candidate Among the early arrtvals on the floor was Speaker Cannon, only yesterday a candidate for president, but today here and a pillar of strength in the Sherman movement The widespread affection for the old warhorse of the party was also shown by the crowds of tielegatee yurging about him to grasp his hand and bid him welcome T he preliminaries were brief, and at to 3» the nominating speeches for vice president began, with a limit of ten minutes to each speaker On the <■ill of states, Delaware yielded to New York, and ex l ieutenant Gov ernor Timothy I. Woodruff mounted the platform for a glowing speech placing in nomination Sherman as New York’s choice for the vice-presi dency Now came a surprise, as the venerable Cannon, with his Lincoln- like visage and shaggy beard, emerged from the Illinois delegation, and. stepping to the platform, was yielded unanimous consent to , second the nomination of Sherman Such a picture of sturdy, homely, plain American citizenship as Cannon appcareij as he advanced before the throng, which rose to do him hom age, has seldom been seen before a national convention His face was beaded with sweat, his collar had melted to a rag which hung limp about his neck His vest wa« thrown wiile open exposing a crumpled shirt, and the sleeves of his black alpaca coat curled up about his dangling cuffs to his elbows as his waving arm« emphasized his ringing words for his colleague and friend, James S Sherman, of New York. From the outbursts of enthusiasm which greeted every mention of Sher man's name it was plain that the mind of the convention had been made up and that the decision was only to be recorded Now began the vote, taken amid confusion at first, which increased as the totals climbed upward to the nominating point The result was never in doubt, as the totals of states were heaped one upon another. There «ere scattering votes, but the great body of delegates swelled the total <•( Sherman until it touched *1# With keen appreciation of the effect of cli max. Chairman Lodge announced the result, reserving Sherman's huge total until the last: "Vice-President Fairbanks gets one vote; Governor Sheldon, of Nebraska, 1» vote«; Governor Curtis Guild, of Massachusetts. 7.1; Governor Murphy, of New Jersey. 77 vote* and James S Sherman, of New York. 816 votes ” After this the floodgates of wild en thusiasm were let loose, as floor and gallery joined in a pandemonium of demonstration for the nominee "Taft Is American Dauphin.’’ London, June 20—Most of the morning newspapers and the weeklies which came out today printed edi torials on President Roosevelt’s tri umph in securing the nomination of Secretary of War Taft for the presi dency The Daily Chronicle says: "To save the life of his policies, he loses his life as president It is an interesting phenomenon" The Daily Graphic describes Mr. Taft as ait ‘‘American dauphin,’’ adding: "There is something Napoleonic about this creation of new dynastic legitimacy under the Stars and Stripes." "Roosevelt's Right Arm.” Paris, June 20.—The Journal des Debats regards the nomination of Mr Taft as an evidence of the imperial istic tendency and the recognition of the United States that it must assume its ’hare of the ‘responsibility for the world " The paper thinks both pres ent parties are now committed to the intervention of the federal power for the control of the trusts The Jour nal characterizes Mr Taft as Presi dent Roosevelt’s "right arm.” and »ays he is committed to a continuance of the oresident’s policies. Kaiser Approve* Choice. Berlin, June 20—The nomination of Secretary of War Taft for the presidency is published in brief form in the Berlin papers this morning. The news came too late, however for editorial comment. Emperor William ha.« been fully informed through the German embassy at Washington of Mr. Taft’s personality and the likeli hood of his nomination. The news was commented on pleasantly in of ficial quarters this morning. Hearst Gain* 109 More. New York.

Houston, Tex., June 23. Nine ne gross met death last night at the bands of a mob in the vicinity of Hemphill, is Mabino county. Today both rare« se cured arms and the tension is such to night that a race clash appears ¡mini sent. The lynchings followed the killing of two white men by negroes. Two weeks ago Hugh Dean and several other white men visited a n>-gro church and schoolhouse, where a dance was in progress, presumably in quest of liquor, it being the custom of some of the negroes to sell whisky during the progress of such affairs. During th-i evening Dean was killed and six ne gross were held for the killing. At the preliminary examination evi dence tending to show that the plot was planned at the dance to kill Dean was produced. Saturday last Aaron Johnson, a prominent farmer, was as aawinated while seated at the dining table with his wife and child, the bul let taring fired through a window. For this crime Perry Price, a negro, was arresttd, and, it ia stated, confessed, implicating Robert Wright, a relative of one of the negroes held for Dean’s murder. Price declared be was offered *5 to kill Johnson. Then followed the forming of a mob liut night, the overpowering of the jailer at Hemphill, and the lynching of the six negroes held for the murder of Dean. Five were banged to the same tree, while another attempted to escape and was shot to death. l.ater in the night William McCoy, another negro, was shot and killed while standing at the gate of the John son home, and this morning the bodies of two more negroes were found in tbo creek bottom. Wright, the negro who conf<-s<d to the killing of Johnson, and the man implicated were taken to Beau mont for safekeeping under guard of the military company of St. Augustine. Saliine county is situated in the most remote part of the eastern section of the state, with «parse railroad and tele- phone facilities. DYING FROM HEAT. Eight Dead in Chicago in One Day — Police Kill Unmuzzled Dogs. Opposition to Accept. Chicago, June 18 -The biggest problem before the resolutions com mittee of the Republican National convention—that of the proposed plank in the platform dealing with the question of the limitation of court injunctions in labor controversies, was disposed of at 2 A M today, when, by a vote of 35 to 16, with one state (South Carolina) not recorded, the full committee agreed to the plank. It was predicted after the vote that there would be no fight on the matter on the floor of the convention when the full report of the committee i was made today. The full committee adopted the| statehood plank for Arizona and New Mexico, thus reversing the subcom mittee's action At 2 30 A. M. the committee ad journed. The vote on the injunction plank is «aid to have been as follows: Yeas—Alabama, Arkansas, Connec ticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia. Il linois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky Maryland, Massachusetts Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New York. North Carolina, North Dakota, I Ohio. Oklahoma, i’ennsylvania, Rhode Island.

June 18.—The second day of the Republican national conven tion brought the long-expected Roose velt yell, a whirlwind of enthusiasm, which raged within the vast amphi theater of the Coliseum for ful'v 45 minutes, for a time presenting to the timid the specter of a Roosevelt stam- nede This demonstration was de cidedly the feature of a day otherwise notable for a stirring speech from the permanent chairman of the conven tion. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, «.f Massachusetts; for much political procedure in placing the convention on a smooth running basis, and for final defeat of the plan to reduce the representation of Southern States at future national conventions. Probably the most important act of the day and the one having greatest significance on the final result of the convention was the adoption of the report of the committee on creden tials. seating the Taft delegations practically in toto. If there had been any lingering doubt of the Taft strength, it disappeared before this decisive action, which in effect placed more than TOO delegates in the Taft column Equally important and even more remarkable was the final ac ceptance of this result by the “allies" without the formality of a dissenting minority report and without carrying i the question to the floor of the con vention for the open fight which has been long threatened. Chicago, June 23.—The hottest day of the year, with the mercury standing at 94 degrees, brought death and suf fering to Chicago. Eight deaths were reported to the coroner’s office, and heat prostrations were numerous. In addition, a mad-dog scare spread through the city, and the chief of po lice ordered his men to shoot all un muzzled dogs. A similar order issued at Morton’s Park, a suburb, resulted in the killing of 40 dogs in a few hours.
