Chicago, June 24.—The thing has happened. There has been no break in the plan, no stampede, no pushing of slates. The programme outlined weeks ago by a half doz»n men, rep- resenting all of the greatness and dig- nity of the Republican party has gone before its representatives assembled, smothered and laughed contests into the plans of the machine, offended several Stater, notably Wisconsin, Illinois and Missouri—in short, settl- ed things one way, regardless of what the people or the party may have thought or done, even to the extreme of permitting a Southern negro to second Mr. Roosevelt's nomination, There were cut and dried things at St. Louis eight years ago, and more of the eame, bearing the vice presi- dency, four years later at Philadel- phia. But this Chicago conyention sets & new standard in gigantic machine management. Mr, Cortelyou to-day became chairman of the National Committee, which does not care for him, and, as settled, will direct the campaign, Mr, Roosevelt’) no mination Drought forth a burst of cheers, sug- gested by the really brilliant set speeches, Mr. Fairbanks was named as plan- ned, the States of Wisconsin and Missouri and Colorado and Iilinots aud Nebraska having not even the opportunity representing the names of favorite sons. LIFE-LONG REPUBLICANS ARE SHAKING THEIR HEADS, ‘ There are life-long Republicans in this city to-night who are shaking their heads over what has happened, When they got to, town Saturday, Sunday and, Monday they wero in- testing the hotels with an air ofcock- nese that told as plainly aa words that the Kepublican party was sure to succeed next November. Some of these men had planks placed in the platform, others were interested in contests that were at least entitled to a hearing, and others had favor- ite sons to be presented for the sec- ond place on the ticket. Wisconsin is an extreme example of the manner in which the contests were decided. Iu Follette managers insist that not only did they not havea respectful hearing, but that their representatives were actually insulted. Lo Follette men make no secret of the feeling they bear to the present leaders in the national party, and there is much talk that it amounts to an open rebellion, that will probably put the Wisconsin elec- toral vote in the Democratic column next fall. The Indiana men came here with- out definite plans for the nomination of Fairbanks, but a command came out of somewhere that it was desired to have a man from Indiana, and that the man must be Fairbanks, TARIFF REVISIONISTS WILL ALL BE IN CLINED TO 8ULK. Those participants of this conven- tion who came here possessed of the notion that some sane tariff revision might be good for the Grand Old Pachyderm are lying low. Some of them are sulking over the smiting received by the lowa idea, and others are filled with the sort of distress th. t means a fishing trip next November. Up to the last minute eeveral of these revisionist leaders were deluded with the hope that some sort of aeop| would be held out to them, but as dispatches indicated early in the week, the inside set of fixers were only playing with the men whowere hoping a revision declaration. Then came the negro incident. One might have guessed that alter all of the Booker Washington gossip of the past year the negroés would figure checker board. A negre (Cummins of Maryland) seconded the nomina- tion of Mr. Roosevelt. So, all things considered, the Re- publicans are not a cheerful lot to- night. They are not talking majori- ties and there have been noue of the usual wild predictions of success. One important Republican of a great State said this evening that he ‘believed that the party had the fight of ite life ahead, in the event that the Democrats could agree on a safe man, who would be pleasing to both of the big wings of the party. “The only way in which we can win,” he said, “is by dropping the idea that has been abroad that we have sure thing. Overconfidence will find us asleep at the switch when the time comes. Solitary Among the Many. Chicago Telegram to Pittsburg Dispatch. A tall man, smooth-shaven, with a face that was marked with heavy lines, stalked to and fro, threading his way among the crowd that thronged the lobby of the Annex. He nodded here and there. He bowed frequently, but almost without ex- ception his salutations were unre- turned. He went to the desk several times and made inquiries of the clerks, He scanned the registers. He sat down, and almost immediately got up again. He bought newspapers, and threw them aside unread. Suddenly -he—eanght sight of a group chatting on the floor and ap- proached it. When hecame near the members separated, after a few whis- pered words, and each gossiper went his way, leaving the solitary man standing alone, Each time this hap- pened—aind it was repeated more than twice—his face tovk on a set expression, As he passed men put their hands up to their mouths and whispered to their companions. No one looked him in the face with any sign of rec- egnition, but everyous gazed at him alter he was gone. And still ho stalked about, forsaken and avoid- ed as though he bore the pestilence. It was Senator Burton, whose rec- ord is one of the things that are the matter with Kansas, Akins’ Success Made Factional Love Feast Chicago, June 23—The Missouri crowd left fur home this evening. Be- fore taking the train a bunch of them conferred informally at the Audito- rium. Mr. Akins was in the center of the meeting, which seemed to be chiefly a love feast over the success of their man in the fight just closed, Mr. Russell was the chief spokesman. “I want to goonrecord agsaying,” he remarked, “that we can’t see any thing in tis howl demanding the resiation of Mr. Akins from a fed- eral position just becauee his party organizutivn his seen fit to honor him. You might as well say that half of the men in the party organi- zations ought to go out. If you will look over the list you will find ecores of men in high places in the party who are also the occu- pante of responsible government po. sitions. Surely it is possible fora man to be an efficient public officer and a party worker at the same time. In fact, efficiency in the one ought to indicate efficiency in the other.” ' A Hailstorm in Salina, Kas. Salina, Kas., June 23.—This city was visited by a heavy hailstorm about 6 o’clock this evening, which dumaged gardens and fruit treesand broke afew windows.

Tariff Plank Upholds Protection. |He Says He Will Have Picture The tariff plank is as follows: Protection which guards and devel- ops onr industries te 9 eardirel policy of the Republican party. The meas- ure of protection should always, at least, equal the difference in the cost of production at home and abroad. Weinsist upon the maintenance of the policy of protection, and, therefore, rates of duty should be readjusted only when public interest demands their alteration, but this work can- notsafely be committed to any other hands than those of the Republican party. To intrust tothe Democratic party is to invite disaster. Whether, as in 1892, the Democratic party de- clared the protective tariff unconsti- tutional or whether it demands tariff reform or tariff revision, ite real ob- ject is always the destruction of the protective system. However, spec- ious the name, the purpose is ever thesame. A Democratic tariff has always been followed by business ad- versity; a Republican tariff by busl- ness prosperity. To a Republican Congress and a Republican President this great question can be safely in- trusted. When the only free-trade country among the great nations agitates a return to protection, the chief protective country should not falter in maintaining it. COWHERD ON THE PLATFORM It Establishes a Record for Tim- Idity and Evasion, He Says.

Chicago, June 23.—“Bim, the but- ton man,” has picked the winner of | [Gj the St. Louis convention. He tipped it off to some of his bosom friends to-night that Arthur Pue Gorman of Maryland, was the man upon whom the mantle of leader- ship of the Democratic hosts was to fall. ‘ He has made all arrangements to have the portralt of the Maryland eenator ready for the supply of but- tone which he expects to have on the | [ij streets within ten minutes after the | [f} nomination is made in St. Louie. “Bim” takes along chance on the convention results, and in sixteen | = years has only made one bad guess. That was at the convention which wi named Bryan. He picked Bland for a winner, and had a emall fortune wrapped up in his convention buttons. The Roosevelt and Fairbanks com- bination was on the street the day before the convention had adjourned. “Bim” states, by the way, that Senator Fairbanks sat for his por- trait for him ina New York photo- graph gallery two weeks ago- areas —. “T couldn't lose tqday,” said he.
