Hughes to-dav is accepted upon all sides as the logical and proper outcome of a remarkable convention. Until the ballot was taken, however, there was great uncertainty and the mes sage from Oyster Hay for a moment caused a wave of demoralization to sweep over the immense throng that crowded every inch of the Coliseum. There is general satisfaction over the result. Every step in the proceedings has been taken with infinite patience and regard for the rights of all concerned. Only the most radical Progressive finds reason for complaint. I lis only protest is that the Colonel was not chosen to lead the reunited party. Substantial union has been achieved and a winning campaign is assured. Justice Hughes is believed to represent the highest ideals of the Republican party and there appears to be 110 doubt here that he will have the support of eighty per cent, of the Progressive vote. Prominent leaders of the Roosevelt wing have told me to-day that the radical and intolerant and irreconcilable section of their organization have refused to listen to the counsel of the experienced and level-headed and will go their own way, but that the nomination of Justice Hughes means the coming together of all who subscribe to the Republican doctrine and who are grounded in the faith E. J. S. ' Coliseum. Chicago, June 10.—Charles Evans Hughes, of New York, was to-day nominated for President of the United States by the Republican national convention and Charles Warren Fairbanks, of Indiana, was named for \ ice-President. Justice Hughes' nomination came 011 the third ballot and but one ballot was needed to select for Vice-Presi dent Fairbanks. There was an enthusiastic demonstration after the candidates were named. The delegates considered the nomination of Fair banks so certain that after giving their ballots to the heads of delegations, they began piling out- of the hall and almost drowned out the voting with the noise. Fairbanks was nominated by a vote of 863: Burkett polled 108: Johnson 1; Borah 8; Webster 2: Burton 1. Three not voting and one absent. Pennsvlvania gave him 7 4 votes and Burkett 1. One of the Pennsylvania dele gates was absent. Charles Evans Hughes was nominated on the third ballot. His vote was practically unanimous. He received >49]/ 2 . Roosevelt received 18y 2 , DuPont, 5; Weeks 3- 3, and Lodge, 7. One was absent.
