his speech. When it came there was a great hurst of applause. All the delega- tions were on their feet at oncee, cheering and yelling. Tammany with them, but 1 the braves confined themselves to clapx ping and did very little yelling. Three men with Chanler banners went to the platform with them.

As soon as the ap- plause quieted a little a quartet with a very high tenor got up beside the plat- form ami sang a refrain, the main part of which consisted of the Harrigan refrain. The outburst which it started lasted over two minutes. All the counties up to Westchester passed and Augustus Thomas got up to second Chanter's nomination. He. too, took well with the audience, and time and again lie had to stop until the applause stopped.

Besides boosting Chanler. Thomas took opportunity to arraign Taft. and his style took with the crowd. After almost every 1 sentence the applause was started and sometimes was kept up for several min- utes at a time. There were two parties among his hearers, those who tumbled right away and applauded at once, and I another party which started after the I quick ones had finished.

There were no other nominations after Mr. Thomas finished his speaking, and Chairman Parker declared the nomina- 8 tions closed. I Daniel F. Cohalen and Judge Has- i brouck of Dutchess county got up to- get her to make a motion for a unani- mens ballot for Chanler. Hasbrouck was recognized and made the motion, which was carried with much applause.

The convention was marked by more than an ordinary contest for the various co nominations, as the county caucuses fail- jn ed to indicate with certainty who would be successful, and this threw nearly all the nominations into open convention. The issue of license or'no license which ot was raised by the local option election of last November was insistent and almost cj, dominant throughout the convention. The temperance element fought hard to pre- tr vent tlie nomination of Dr. Paynter for y( governor, but was unsuccessful. The tv same element made a determined errort to secure the nomination of Alexander Daly of Dover for attorney general, but ar again was defeated.

It de- jy nounces the republican party and invites i "the co-operation of all respectable voters to rescue our state from the present cor- rupt control of our political affairs." i j)C in ADAM BEDE DEFEATED. 1 0( Clarence B.

National Chairman Hitchcock, Senator Dixon of Montana, in charge of the western speakers' bureau: National i Committeeman Charles Nagel of Missouri and Judge Hallinger of Seattle, member of the advisory committee. The details of the itinerary have been worked out by Senator Dixon, after receiving the general suggestions from the committee.

"The state of Washington is in such good shape that we are now collecting a popular subscription to be turned over to the republican national committee for use in other states," said Judge Ballinger. who is on his way east from his home state. He explained that just before leaving he had sent out more than three hundred personal letters to editors in which it was set forth that heretofore the state of Washington, when in political doubt had been liberally and materially aided with funds by the, national committee; that this year the conditions were ren versed in that the state needed no outn side assistance for the republican cause. and it would be showing the proper spirit of appreciation to raise by popular scription a fund for working in other 7' states. "Just what the result will be." Judge Ballinger added, "will not be determined until time has elapsed for answers to the 'e appeal." ti On his return west in ten days Judge Ballinger will devote his time to the situation in Oregon and California.

The whole coast, however, he says, is in splendid shape from a republican standg point. is The Situation in Maine. Representative Duncan McKinlay of Cale ifornia, who has been making speeches in Vermont and Maine, stopped off to greet Judge Taft. He is on his way back to California. Representative McKinlay said: 1 "Maine did much better at this election than I thought ft would.

The dissatis18 faction among the republicans with the ie enforcement of the Sturgis liquor law was quite general in the large towns and a cities, and although the majority was less than S.OOO, that is o.OtX) more than I thought we would get. "The republican representatives, howj ever, had all increased I am I satisfied that the majority in Maine will 1 i i a in me presiuenuat election ne three times i what it was for governor. The democrats i would not meet us on any of the national issues at all. not even the candidates for Congress. They he'd it down to the rej submission of the liquor law." Discussing situation in his own state, he said: "In California the situation is good for Secretary Taft.

The opposing republican factions have come to an agreement, and although there are some differences as to local affairs there are none as to the congressional and national ticket."
