STAMPEDE
CHECKED
(Concluded from I'age 1.)
people have so soon forgotten the mis
cry of the Cleveland administration.
"If Itoosevclt Is nominated It will
not bo because Quay and l'latt will be
for him, but because the convention
in Its wisdom believes that he Is the
strongest candidate. Quny and Piatt
have been In combinations before to
prevent the nomination of particular
candidates and they have failed. At
Minneapolis, In 1894, they antagonized
President Harrison's re-nomlnatlon,
and again In St. Louis four years ago
they and their senatorial and national
'committee colleagues opposed McKln
ley. In neither case, with all the cred
it duo them as astute managing poli
ticians In their several states, did they
make a respectable" showing. Unless
they satisfy tho convention that Roose
velt would be the beBt candidate to
nominate Quay and Piatt will not suc
ceed in their latest combination any
more than they did formerly. The can
didate for vice president should be as
big a man art the candidate for the
first place. I think Dolllvcr, Walcott,
Fairbanks or Illlss would make excel
lent running mates with McKlnloy.
There Is plenty of good material."
Havo Abandoned Scott.
Oregon and "Washington are said to
have abondoned Irving Scott as a vlce
prcsldentlal possibility and ngrced to
support Cartlott Tripp. General Sam
uel K. Ashton, of Washington, will
place Tripp's name before the conven
tion, and Wallace McCamant, chairman
of the Oregon delegation, will second
the nomination. Tripp's friends claim
that ho nlready has forty votes, as fol
lows: Oregon, S; Washington, 8; South
Dakota, 8; North Dakota, C; Utah, 6;
Alaska, 4. Tho Oregon delegation la
located at the Bingham House.
"If Roosevelt will only take the vice
presidential nomination wo are all for
him out in Missouri," said W. S. Shirk,
one of the delegates from that state.
"If Teddy will not take it, then our
delegation will divide up. Dolllver Is
probably the strongest candidate with
Roosevelt out. Many of our delegation
favor IJllss. I think It ought to be an
eastern man, provided he Is not from
a state that Is divided."
Dollivor's Chances.
One of the members of the Nebraska
delegation, speaking of the vlce-presl-dentl.il
situation, s,ald this morning:
"Owing to tho many conflicting ru
mors now afloat concerning the posi
tion of Governor Roosevelt, our dele
gation Is largely at sea. While we'
would like to see some man from west
of Missouri named for the second place
on the ticket, there is a very strong
sentiment In favor of Roosevelt, and
if he consents to become a candidate
I am satisfied our delegation will sup
port him solidly. Should ho persist,
liowever, in his refusal to accept the
nomination, I think the majority of our
delegation will favor Dolllver, of Iowa,
for the nomination."
ROOSEVELT'S EFFORT
TO HALT STAMPEDE
A Statement Made to Newspaper
Mon Talk Concerning Other Can
didates Roosovolt Boom Belioved
to Bo at Rest.
By Associated l'rcss.
Philadelphia, June 18. Governor
Theodore Roosevelt has made as spe
cific a refusal of the nomination for
vice-president as ho could possibly
make in view of the fact that tho nomi
nating convention has not met and
that few of the delegations have cau
cused. Standing In a smalt reom, facing a
crowd of newspaper men this after
noon, he made the following state
ment, reading It from a couple of
sheets of manuscript:
"In view of the revival of the. talk
of myself as a vice-presidential can
didate, I have this to hay: It Is Im
possible too deeply to express how
touched I am by the attitude of those
delegates who have wished me to take
this nomination. Moreover, it is not
necessary to say how thoroughly I un
derstand the high honor and dignity
of the ofllce, an ofllce so high and hon
orable that It Is well worthy the ambi
tion of any man in tho United States.
But while I appreciate all this. to the
full, nevertheless I feel most deeply
that the field of my best usefulness to
the public and to the party Is in New
York stato and if the party should see
fit to nominate me for governor I can
in that position help the national ticket

and
A fanner is known bv his furrow as
"the carpenter is known by his chips." It
takes a firm hand and a true eye to turn
ta straight furrow. No wonder the farmer
wears out, spite of exercise and fresh air.
One day's work on the farm would tire
many a trained athlete. And the farmer
works hardest of all. The first up and
the last to bed, feeding his team before
he feeds himself, his work is practically
never done. Why docs not the fanner
treat his own body as he treats the land
he cultivates? He puts back in phos-
I)hnte what he takes out in crops, or the
and would grow poor. The farmer
vehould put baclc into his body the vital
elements exhausted by labor. If he does
not, he will soon complain of "poor
.health." jrhe great value of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is in its vital
Uitig power. It gives strength to tho
stomach, life to the lungs, purity to the
blood,. It suppllei Nature with the sub-
otances by wlilcn she builds up the body,
n as me larmer supplies Nature witu
he substances that build up the crops.
"I write to tell you of the great benefit I re
ceiveJ from the ue of Dr rlcrce's Golden Med
ical Placovery," wrltea Mr. ci, II. Mid, of Dyrn.
'aide, Putnam Co., W. Vfl. "It cured me of a very
bad caae ol Indigestion associated with torpid

He advised me o try the 'Cotden Medical Dis.

ask that every friend of mine In the,

judgment In this matter."
Tho document was In his own hand
writing and in lead pencil copy, and he
read It lth the samo complacency
that he would have given n platform
speech. Tho scene bordered on the
dramatic Sitting near him, as he
spoke, were Congressmen Llttauer and
Sherman, of New York, and Prof.
Jenks, of Columbia college, who have
all along urged tho governor not to ac
cept. Just behind the row of news
paper men stood Frank Piatt, Lemuel
Qulgg nnd 13. n. Odell, of the New
York organization. As tho governor
read and waited for the newspaper
men to write down tho statement, lie
frequently glanced In tho direction of
the group of politicians. When ho fin
ished, he said: "Gentlemen, that Is all.
I have nothing more to Bay."
Mr. Llttauer sold he thought tho
statement timely nnd believed that It
would give the delegates who were
friendly to Governor Roosevelt nn Idea
of the situation. "And I don't mean
by that," ho said, rather aggressively,
"tho Pennsylvania delegation or those
who for ulterior motives are pressing
the governor's nomination."
Piatt Dissatisfied.
Then Mr. Qulgg and Mr. Frank Piatt
declared that they believed tho state
ment unwise nnd they left the room,
refusing to talk to tho waiting news
paper man. The statement acted as a
cold water douche on those members
of tho New York delegation who had
planned to nomlnntc some other can
didate for governor than Mr. Roose
velt. However, the statement was re
ceived by many of the delegations as
a mere reiteration of Roosevelt's origi
nal declaration of lack of desire for
the nomination. Several delegates ex
pressed thu opinion that the situation
would not change and that If Roose
velt's name wns presented to tho con
vention he would bo nominated and
would not dare refuse.
It Is pointed out as significant that
Governor Roosevelt will not assort that
he will decline the ofllce if nominated.
He hope3, however, with the aid of
Senator Hanna to defeat the plan to
nominate him.
Senator Lodge contradicts tho cur
rent report concerning his utterances
In the confetence In Governor Roose
velt's rooms today, in which he parti
cipated with the governor and Senator
Hanna. He says that he went to Gov
ernor Roosevelt's room ns supporter
of Secretary Long and that the gov
ernor knew his position. "I have been
a personal friend of Governor Roose
velt for many years," he said, "and as
his friend It would be Impossible for
me to take tho position there attri
buted to me, or to uau the language
placed in my mouth. He does not want
the ofllce nnd there Is no reason why
it should be forced upon him. He
knows how I feel and ho knows that I
am for Long first, last nnd all the
time. The whole story Is the tissue of
inventions."
Day of Conferences.
It has been a day of conferences on
tho vice-presidential situation. Begin
ning with a gathering In the room of
Governor Roosevelt, attended by Sena
tor Hanna, Senator Lodge and Mr.
Odell, of New York, It was continued
in the rooms of Senator Hanna later,
when nearly all the leaders in the city
were from time to time In the confer
ence with the chalrmnn of tho national
committee. There were Senators Alli
son, Scott, Carter, Lodge, Burrows, 131
klns, Shoup, also Mr. Bliss, besides
many representatives of the New York
leaders, both Governor Roosevelt and
Senator Piatt being represented. When
the last man had disappeared Senator
Hanna looked weary, but satisfied. He
was ready to announce that Governor
Roosevelt would not be nominated and
that the men who were going to make
the nomination would accept the dec
laration of Roosevelt, made during the
day, and supplements of more em
phatic declarations made some time
ago ns final, and would not force tho
nomination upon him.
Among the last men to see Senator
Hanna were Chairman Odell, of the
New York committee, nnd L. E. Qulgg,
who discussed the situation at great
length. It was with these men that
Senator Hanna labored. He told them
that six weeks ago Roosevelt was
wanted as a vice-presidential candi
date. He and other warm, friends of
the administration believed he would
be a very satisfactory candidate. The
bare suggestion brought out a protest
from Roosevelt a declaration In very
emphatic terms that he would not ac
cept the place. After this declaration
had been reiterated several times It
was taken up by Senator Piatt, who
publicly announced that Governor
Roosevelt was not to be considered as
a vice-presidential candidate. Then
other candidates nppeared nnd in a
dignified mnnner their Interests were
put forward by their friends through
tho country.
The only man appearing In New
York was Lieutenant Governor Wood
ruff. The suggestion or ex-Secretary
Bliss brought forth a decllnutlon from
him later by a statement from Mr.
lliinnu himself, that Bliss could not be
considered for personal reasons.
Senator Hnnna then pointed out that
after tho delegates began arriving tho
name of Roosevelt was suddenly
surung with nn effort to stampede tho
convention and force n nomination
upon a man who did not wnnt it, ap
parently because some other candidate
was desired for governor. As the Ohio
senator rehearsed the i'inTltlons he
wnrmed up and pointed out that under
the existing conditions the nomination
of Roosevelt was not fair to the men
who had como out for the place and
who should have an equal show beforo
the convention. Thlh plain talk of the
tenator cleared up what had been in
doubt nil day.
Hanna Will Not Lie Down.
It was evident that Hanna was not
going to lie down. It wns a distinct
show of fight and a signal to the
friends of tho administration that op
position to forcing Roosevelt upon the
ticket r.galnst his will would meet
with no fuvor. This tip did not circu
late until quite Into in the evening,
but the efftct was soon apparent, There
were many real friends of Roosevelt
who nccepted his declaration as abso
lutely voicing his wishes. It changed
tho current of talk, and men who were
confident 21 hours ago that Roosevolt's
nomination was foregono conclusion
befrnn asking: "Well, who will It be?"
The answer was generally, John D,
Long, of Massachusetts, secretary of
the navy. At onco delegates began to
reason that Long must be perfectly
satisfactory to the administration of
which he Is a part, or he would not ba
a candidate for tits place. This Idea
received further argument In quarters
which made the Massachusetts man a
prime favorite. Of couise there was
talk of other men. Tho friends of
Dolllver renewed their efforts for the
young Iowa senator. There was some
talk about Fairbanks, but the prevail
ing feellrg was that only men who
were willing to accept the place should
bii considered. It was urged thai an
unwilling candidate was not advis
able, nnd therefore tho men most talk
d of were Long nnd Dolllver, but with
tli3 grnernl Impression that Long
would be tho ultimate selection.
Tho Boom at Host.
And so the stampede for Roosevelt
was checked nnd turned, and that
which seemed so certain last night
seems woll nigh impossible toniiiht.
Roosevelt himself has close personal
friends working among delegates and
assuring them that tlit- nomination
was not desired by hlrn, Senator
Hanna und his lieutenants all working
together nre responsible for this re
sult. It has been a day of hard work,
of earnest endeavor, nnd tonight tho
men mos Interested believe thnt the
Roosevelt boom has, finally been lnld
to rest.
GEN. GREENE'S SPEECH.
Effocttvo With tho Kansas Deleg
ation. Philadelphia, June 18. Great Inter
est centered at tho Kansas headquar
ters early In tho day, as Governor
Roosevelt had promised to pay a visit
to the delegation, and it was thought
hc would say something on his can
didacy. The governor could not come
over nnd sent General Francis V.
Greene, who served conspicuously In
the Philippines, and whose name is
ilso mentioned for the vlco presidency
to take his place. General Oreeno
made a speech, which was regarded as
significant, as ho came direct from
Governor Roosevelt nnd expressed his
views. After being Introduced by
C'haltmnn J. It. Burton, of the delega
tion, General Greene said:
"Governor Roosevelt asked me to say
tint ho regretted his inability no be
with you. He asks to be excused, aa
ho is Just now engaged In an Import
ant consultation. From all directions
comes the demand that he stand for
vloo president, nnd it is for him to
say. Speaking for myself, I will say
tint we want him to remain governor
of New York. As vice president ho
would preside over tho senate, and
on'y in that contingency which wo
would all so deplore tho death of tho
president, would he be called on to
exercise the larger functions for which
he is s well fitted. He will bo re
elected governor of New York, I have
no doubt as to that. For that reason
hn sincerely hopes that he will be
able to remain In New York and there
continue the work he has taken up,
without being called to tho vice presi
dency." General Greene then referred to the
remarkable nnd historic tribute now
being paid to President McKlnley of
a unanimous nomination without tho
shadow of dissent. Then, recurring to
Mr. Roosevelt, ho snld:
"Doubtless Governor Roosevelt would
be the unanimous choice If he permit
ted the use of his name, but he can
do a great deal more for the Republi
can party as governor of New York.
No one can tell who will be named on
Thursday, but if It should come about
that any other of New York's worthy
sons Is presented to the convention, we
would hope that Kansas would give
him the same hearty support that It
linn given Governor Roosevelt."
Chairman Burton, answering for
the delegation, said they were all heart
ily desirous of having tho vice-presidency
so shaped as to bring strength
and that Kansas would Join New York
in any action which would be for the
best interests of the Republican party,
ns that was paramount to all other
considerations. Mr. Burton nfterward
summed up the feeling by stating that
If Roosevelt would stand he would have
the solid vote of Kansas. If he was
out, Dolllver would probably be the
favorite.

Cnalrman Quny said this was scarcely
necessary, but ho put the motion as
n matter of form. Senator Penrose
then moved that the delegation be In
structed for Roosevelt for vice presi
dent. State Senator C L. Magee
(anti-Quay) asked for a roll call. Con
gressman M. B. Williams inquired
whether Roosevelt would accept If en
dorsed. Senator Penrose said: "I can
assure the gentleman nnd other dele
gates that Governor Roosevelt will ac
cent If the nomination Is tendered
him."
Senator Fllnn, of Pittsburg ("anti
Quay), thought that It was rather
early to tie up the delegation.
To this suggestion Chairman Quay
replied that there was nothing bind
ing in the motion; that It merely show
ed the i reference .if the delegation.
The roll was then called, resulting:
Roosevelt, E2; Root, 1; Long, lj Bliss,

MICHIGAN FAVORS ROOSEVELT
A Promaturo Resolution Is Placed
on tho Table.
Philadelphia, Juno IS. Tho tabling
of a Roosevelt resolution was tho event
of the day in tho Michigan delegation,
although this was construed by those
opposing tho resolution ns favorable
to Roosevelt's ultimate welfare. Dele
gatp Robertson precipitated the Issue
by offering a resolution favorable to
Roosevelt. It was opposed by Colonel
Hecker and others on the ground that
such action was premature, and the
resolution, as stated, was finally
tabled.
In order to avoid possible miscon
struction of this nctlon, D. M. Ferry,
the Republican candidate for gover
nor, and W. II. Elliott, the now na
tional committeeman from Michigan,
were designated as a committee to ex
plain the situation to Mr. Roosevelt.
They told the governor the Michigan
delegates felt that his acceptance of
the vice presidency would stand In this
way of his choice for the. presidency
four years hence, which was consid
er? I the real honor awaiting him, and
that the vlco presidential resolution
was accordingly tabled ns adverse to
his Interests.
Goverror Roosevelt expressed him
self pleased with what had been done,
and said he hoped other delegations
would do the same.
TAYLOR AND BRADLEY.
Two Central Figures in the Kentucky
Delegation.
Phlladelphla.June IS. Governor Tay
lor and Governor Bradley are the two
centrnl figures of the Kentucky dele
gation, which has quarters at the Con
tinental. The delegation Is nugmented
by the McKlnley club, of Louisville,
with a big band, which keeps things
lively. Delegate W. P. Ross summed
up tho feeling thus: "Kentucky wants
to compliment Governor Bradley by
having his name considered for the
vice-presidency. After that the senti
ment seems strongest for Roosevelt, if
he will accept, with no definite choice
among the other candidates."
Governor Taylor Is nccompanled by
his wife, nnd the two kept to their
rooms much of the time. Members of
the party say the Kentucky author
ities who hold a warrant for Mr. Tay
lor are following his movements from
stato to state, but no fear Is expressed
that the matter will bo brought up
while he Is here. The governor him
self today told his friends he had not
been annoyed on the trip here and did
not expect to have any trouble. When
the matter was referred to at the Ken
tucky headquarters It evoked heated
denunciations of the consplracyagalnst
Taylor nnd expressions of sturdy loy
alty to him.
