"We give you formal notice of tHat nomination with assurance of the undi vided and hearty support of the great party which has executed the people's will in the government of this country for the better part of the last half cen tury. The nomination comes to you in accordance with the best methods and practices of representative government. It was the result of long and earnest consideration and discussion by the members of the convention. II was not the chance product of an excited hour, and it was not upon the demand of any powerful influence —political or other wise—constraining the judgment of tht delegates. It was not made for the pur pose of conciliating possible malcon tents or of swelling the campaign fund of the parly. No bargains or intrigues contributed to it. No suppressions of the truth or misleading of the conven tion as to your principles and opinions were necessary to bring it about. It was the deliberate, informed and intelligent judgment of the delegates from every state and territory, and it was thel unanimous judgment. Called to Great Office. "It is a great office to which you are called. John Adams and Thomas Jef ferson and George Clinton and John C. Calhoun and Martin Van Buren and many others whose names are illustri ous in the history of our country have filled it. It is an office of high dignity and immediate, ever-present impor tance. The credit and honor of our country are greatly concerned in the character and conduct of the man who presides over the senate of the United States, of which you are already so ex perienced. so useful and so honored a member. "But the vice president has other grave duties of imperative obligation. When the people elect a president under our political system, they do not merely select the man for the office; they give their approval to certain controlling principles and policies of government; and the administration of which the vice president is a part is bound to give effect to these principles and policies. The primary duty of the vice president to be always ready to take up the burdens of the presidency if occasion requires car ries with it the duty to be always ready to continue unbroken the policies which the people have intrusted to the admin istration for execution. For the due per formance of this duty the vice president should be familiar with the conduct of affairs by the administration as it pro ceeds, a part of its counsels, and imbued with a knowledge of its labors, its per plexities and its motives, that can come only from intimate association and con fidence and sympathy. "To often it lias happened that after excited contests for the presidential nomination the candidate for vice presi dent has been selected from the de feated faction for the purpose of appeas ing their resentment, and that after election he has remained antagonistic in spirit and a stranger to the counsels of the president whom he may be called upon to succeed. Happily, we are now in no such case. The people would fain see again such relations of sympathy and loyal helpfulness for the public good as existed between President McKinley and Vice President Hobart, and the per sonal relations between President Roosevelt and yourself, your mutual es teem and good understanding assure us that these happy conditions will come again after the 4th day of next March. We count upon your wisdom and experi ence and loyal aid as an element of ever present strength in the coming adminis tration. Many Presidents Die in Office. "As to the supreme responsibility of the vice presidency in case of succession to the presidency, we shall all pray, and no one more earnestly than yourself, thut. it may not come to you. But we are not at liberty to ignore the possibil ity that it may come. Sad and bitter ex perience admonishes us that provision for succession to the presidency is no idle form. Of the last 12 presidents elected by the people of the United States, five—nearly one-half—have died in office and have been succeeded by vice presidents. A serious obligation rests upon the political parties which select the candidates between whom the people must choose to see to it that they nom inate men for this possible succession Failed to Kear Her.

WHO have the strength of body and mind and character which shall enable them, if occasion comes, to take up the bur dens of the great presidential office, to endure its trying and exhausting de mands. to meet itsgr<-at responsibilities, and with firm hand and clear vision to guide the government of the country until the people can express their choice again. "Our opponents of the democratic party have signally failed to perform tiiis duty. They have nominated as their candidate for the vice presidency an ex cellent gentleman, who was horn dur ing the presidency of James Monroe and who before the 4th of March next will be in the eignty-second year of his age. Before the next administration is ended he will be approaching his eighty-sixth birthday. Too Old for Office. "It is no disparagement of this gen tleman. for whom I believe we all have the highest respect, to say that lie shares the common lot of mortals, and that the election of any man of such great age would furnish no safeguard to the Amer ican people against the disaster which would ensue upon the death of a presi dent with a successor not competent to perform the duties of the presidential office It is common experience that very aged men however bright and ac tive they may appear for brief periods, cannot sustain long-continued severe ex ertion. The demands of the presidential office upon the mental and physical vi tality are so great, so continuous and so exhausting as to be wholly beyond the capacity of any man of 85. "The attempt by such a man to per form the duties of the office would with practical certainty be followed speedily by a complete breakdown both of body and of mind. In contemp&ting the re mote possibility of the election of the democratic candidate for vice president the people of the country are bound to contemplate also as a necessary result of such an elect ion in case of the president's death, that others, not chosen by the people, and we knoV not who, would govern in the name of a nominal suc cessor unable himself to perform the constitutional duties of his office; or worse still, that serious doubt whether the vice president had not reached a condition of "inability" within the mean ing of the constitution would throw the title to the office of president into dis pute. The serious effect of such nn event upon the government and upon the business interests and general welfare of the country, and the serious effect even of the continual menace of such an event must be apparent to every thought ful inind. Prepared for Any Duty. "In your election, on the other hand, this chief requirement will be fully met. In the full strength of middle life you are prepared for the exhausting duties of the presidency. Your successful and dis tinguished career, the ability and pro bity with which you have already dis charged the duties of high office, the uni versal respect and esteem of the people of Indiana who have delighted to honor you. the attachment of hosts of friends throughout the union all assure us that you have the character and the ability to govern wisely and strongly should you become president. Many indeed among our people have already turned toward you as a suitable candidate to be elected directly to that great office. "It is the earnest wish of your party and of many good citizens who have no party affiliations that you shall accept this nomination and that you shall be elected in November to be the next vice president of the United Stales. In ex pressing to you this wish, we beg to add an assurance of our own personal re spect, esteem and loyalty." MR. FAIRBANK S RESPONSE. Praises Republican Politics and Pre sent Administration. Following was the speech of Senator Fairbanks accepting the nomination for the vice presidency: "Mr. Hoot and Gentlemen of the Com mittee: 1 thank you for the very gener ous terms in which you have conveyed the official notification of my nomination for vice president of the United States. The unsolicited and unanimous nomina tion by the republican party is a call to duty which 1 am pleased to obey. I ac cept the commission which you bring with a profound sense of the dignity and responsibilities of the exalted position for which 1 have been nominated. My utmost endeavor will be to discharge in full measure the trust, if the action of the convention shall meet the approval of the American people. "The platform adopted by the conven tion is an explicit and emphatic declara tion of principles In entire harmony with those policies of our party which have Uncle Sam's Boys. Uncle Sam has on his pay roll about 10,000 boys from 14 to 19 years old. who are employed as special delivery messengers. Each boy gets eight cents lout of the ten cents pa id Ihe govern j ment for a special delivery stamp. Facts in the Case. Judge—Did I understand you to say j that the parties use high words? Witness—Their voices were pitched | rather high, but the words they used | were extremely low.—Washington j Star. brought great honor and prosperity our common country, and which, if con tinued, will bring us like blessings in the future. The monetary and economic policies which have been so forcibly re announced lie at the very foundation of our industrial life, and are essential to the fullest development of our national strength. They give vitality to our manu factures and commerce, and if impaired or overthrown there would inevitably ensue a period of industrial depression, to the serious injury r>f the va?t inter ests of both labor and capital. Value of Gold Standard, "The Republican party, since it pre served the integrity of the republican and gave freedom to the oppressed, never rendered a more important service to the country than when it established the gold standard. Under It. we have in creased our currency supply sufficiently to meet the normal requirements of busi ness. It is gratifying that the conven tion made frank and explicit declara tion of the inflexible purpose of the party to maintain the gold standard. It is es sential not only that thestandard should be as good as the best in the world, but that the people should have the assur ance that it will be so maintained. "The enemies of sound money were powerful enough to suppress mention of the gold standard in the platform lately adopted by the democratic national con vention. The leader of the democracy in two great national campaigns has de clared since the adjournment of thecon vention that as soon as the election is over he will undertake to organize tho forces within the democratic party for the next national contest, for the pur pose of advancing the radical policiesfor which his element of the party stands. He frankly says that the money question is for the present in abeyance. In view of these palpable facts it Is not the part of wisdom to abandon our vigilance in safeguarding the integrity of our mone tary system. We must have rot only a president who is unalterar'y committed to the gold standard, but both houses of congress in entire accord with him upon the subject. In congress and not with the president rests the supreme power to determine the standard of our money. Though the chief executive should op pose, congress, acting within its inde pendent constitutional authority, could at any time overthrow or change the monetary standard. Protective Policy Wise. "The wisdom of our protective policy finds complete justification in the indus trial development of the country. This policy has become a vital part of our in dustrial system, and must be maintained unimpaired. When altered conditions make changes in schedulesaesirabletheir modification can be safely intrusted to the republican party. If they are to be changed by the enemies of the system along free trade lines, uncertainty would take the place of certainty and a reaction surely would follow, to the injury of tho wage-earners and all who are profitably employed. Uncertainty undermines con fidence. and loss of confidence breeds con fusion and distress in commercial affairs. "The convention was wise not only in its enunciation of party policies, but in its nomination of a candidate for the j presidency. During the last three years i President Roosevelt has been confronted i with large and serious questions. These he has met and solved with high wisdom and courage. The charges made against him in the democratic platform find nn irrefutable answer in his splendid ad ministration. never surpassed in all the history of the republic and never equaled by the party which seeks to discredit it. Record of Deeds Done. "The election of the president is im peratively demanded by those whose suc cess depends upon the continuance of a safe, conservative and efficient adminis tration of public affairs. We have an emple record of deeds done, of beneficent things accomplished in the public in terest. The vast business of the govern ment has been well administered. The laws have been enforced fearlessly and impartially. The treasury has been ad equately supplied with revenue and the financial credit of the government never was better. Our foreign trade balance continues to increase our national wealth. We have adopted an irrigation policy which will build homes in the arid re gions of the west. The Panama canal, tha hope of centuries, is in course of con struction under the sole protection of the American flag. "We have peace and great prosperity at home and are upon terms of good neighborhood to the entire world. Tha conditions constitute the strongest pos sible assurance for the future. "Later I shall avail myself of a favora ble opportunity to submit to you, and through you to my fellow citizens, a ful ler expression of my views concerning the questions now in issue. Permit me again to thank you and to express the belief that we may confidently submit our cause to the candid and patriotic judgment of our countrymen." Marriage Brokers. The marriage broker in Italy is a reg ular institution. In their offices there are books with the names and particu lars of all marriageable girls, rich or poor, who live in the district, and the brokers go about endeavoring to ar range engagements in exactly the same way as they would do ordinary trading business. It depends entirely upon their success whether they receive any payment for their efforts or not. ! Retort Courteous. He —Girls are queer creatures—they marry the first fool who asks them, as a rule.

"We have homes for children, or phan's anchorages, old people's homes, humane societies, and, in fact, or ganizations for the care of nearly all classes of society in Chicago, but we have no association whose duty it is to conserve the family, the most sacred of all institutions," said Rev. David D. De Long in a recept address before the Congregational ministers of the city. "I think every church should estab lish a home mending society, whose duty will be to act as peacemaker in all disputes in families in the vic inity of the church. If a father and mother disagree and are in imminent danger of separating, let a member of the homemending society call at the home of the family and arbitrate the dfspute so as to save the family and preserve the home. If a parent can not get along with a child and the dispute threatens the security of the home, let the society step in and offer its services in bringing about peace. "I am going to try the plan in my church, and I think every other con gregation in Chicago would do well to follow my example. I believe the plan will result in much good every year by preventing ihe disruption of hundreds of homes." GRADUATES TIED TO TREES. Ducked in Pond First—Victims Free Themselves by Burning Their Bonds. Fifteen members of the graduating class of the Mount Vernon, N. Y., high school were kidnaped on the night after the commencement exer cises by a band of hazers, composed of former graduates, and taken to the woods, where they were baptized in a pond and tied to trees. Some of the graduates did not get back to Mount Vernon until after day light. Two of them, after being lash ed to trees for nearly two hours, struck upon a novel scheme to free themselves. They took matches from each other's pockets and burned the ropes with which ihey were tied. Before the exercises began the po lice heard a rumor that the graduates were to be hazed, and policemen were stationed around the school building to guard against any "rough house" tactics, but the hazers foiled them. Dyeing Egg 6. Just now the foreign egg trade of England is much exercised over the disclosures made recently by Lord Onslow, president of the British board of trade, as to the nefarious practice of certain foreigners of dye ing their eggs for the London market with coffee in order to secure the rich brown shade which it seems all Londoners prefer in their eggs. Lord Onslow advised the English egg pro ducers to take a leaf from the book of their continental rivals and by the liberal use of coffee secure the shade which in London adds 25 cents a hun dred u> the value ol their eggs.
