The hall was lammed now with 20,000 persons in a grand swel ter. ..Delegates had removed their coats and, vigorously plying fans. were" mopping the perspiration from their brows. The orators began to limber up. The supreme moment was at hand. Alabama headed the list of States.; lt had been expected that Alabama, La having no favorite' son to present, would yid&d to Ohio. That is the general Custom. To the surprise of everybody. Alabama did not vioid afiA the call weit on to Illinois, and Coflgressmaa Hj S.

" - ; j. five minutes of stormy going, 'closed his address by naming Mr. Fairbanks and declaring: ."Nominate him and victory in November will be ours," there was a demonstration in the In diana delegation, in which several of the Ohio delegates generously took part. Mayor Bookwalter, of Indianapolis, then made hisway to the stage and seconded the Fairbanks nomination. He spoke extempore. . When Mr. Bookwalter had' finished the call of the States was resumed, and there was no response until New York was reached. -i Then General Stewart L. Woodford rose to nominate Governor Hughes. He was cheered lustily by members. of the New York delegation, in which several other sections of the hall joined. The conclusion of General Wood ford's address was the signal for the unfurling in the New York delegation of a great silken banner bearing the likeness of Governor Hughes. Flags blossomed -out in waving color and scattered delegates of a half dozen, other States aided the noise batteries of the New York men. In less than three minutes, however,- quiet reigned again and the call of States contin ued. - .:- . " ' "Ohio," shouted John R. Maltbie in his finest megaphone' voice at 2.17 o'clock. In an instant most. of . the delegates were on their jeet. Indiana-, 'Illinois and-most of New York sat still, but even Wisconsin took up the Taft cry. The galleries did their share, but they were not so demon strative that Theodore E. Burton, the Taft nominator, did not have perfect silence in three minutes.

Dr. James Cool, as sistant State superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, in the course of an address here said: " "State Senator Foelker told me a few days ago that the race track oon tlngeat offered him enough moay to makQ htm Independent, for life it be would not risa from bis sick bed to go to Albany to vot for th AiawMftrt anti-race track gambling bill, I could tell you the amount. " - Secretary of War there Occurred the -real demonstration Of thd; day. The galleries caught from the Ohioans the -refrafn "Taft, taft. Big Bill Taft," and marked time with it It was hot .until the' delegates had exhausted their -energy by twenty-five! minutes of continued cheering that Chairman Lodge succeeded id restor ing comparative order, a task in which he was materially assisted by the extraordinarily powerful voice of George A. Knight, of California, who had taken the platform to second the nomination, of Mr. Taft, and who spoke withx his customary force and eloquence. ' The Taft demonstration lasted just fraction less than twenty-five min- utes. but it. had registered itself as possessing greater -and steadier vol ume -than the uproarious tribute ac corded President Roosevelt just twenty-four hours previously. More people yelled themselves hoarse for the Ohioan than did for Roosevelt, and the cheers rang with greater spontaneity and genuineness. When, the cheers following the speech of Mr. Knight were finished. Chairman Lodge introduced C. B. McCdy, of Coshocton, Ohio, to place in nomination the name of Senator Joseph B. Foraker, , W. O. Emery, of Macon, Ga., a ne gro, made the seconding speech far Senator Foraker. Lieutenant-Governor Murphy, the Bilver haired and silver tongued ora- tor of Pennsylvania, placed in nomin ation Philander C. Knox. Mr. Mur phy and his candidate got one minute of applause. James Scarlet, of Dan ville, Pa., used three minutes to sec ond the Knox nomination. Continuing the call of the roll from Rhode Island down, there came no re sponding voice until Wisconsin was reached, and Kenry F. Coc-hems, ol Milwaukee, came forward to nomin ate Senator La Follette. The nomination of La Follette was seconded by C. A. A. McGee, of Wis consin. A.wild cheer greeted him as he closed, and the demonstration that followed exceeded in intensity thai ivhich had greeted, the presentation of any other candidate except Taft. Chairman Lodge, abandoning all effort to' still the crowd, ordered Sec retary Malloy to continue the call of the delegations. This was done in themidst of a terrific uproar. STh-s chairman then announced in a tone which, although strained to the ut most, could be heard only a few feet away: "That completes the roll of the States and the roll call will now be had for the vote. We1 will ot wait a minute longer." . The call was completed at &,10, and at 5.16 Senator Ledge announced that William H. Taft had received 702 votes. At 5.23, on the motion of General Stewart L. Woodford, of New York, the nomination was made unanimous. Senator Penrose and Senator Bev eridge and William O. Emery, of Georgia, the colored delegate who seconded the nomination of Foraker, seconded the motion, and the nomin ation was made unanimous. The convention then adjourned TAFT RESIGNS.

Here are the main planks In the Republican platform: TARIFF REVISION" PLEDGED. The Republican party declares Un equivocally for a revision of the tariff by a 'special session of Congress im mediately following the inauguration of the next President, and commends the steps already taken to this end in the work assigned to the appro priate committees of Congress which are now investigating the operation and effect of existing schedules. In all tariff legislation the true principle of protection is best maintained by the imposition of such duties as will equal the difference between the cost of. production at home and abroad, together with a reasonable profit to American industries. We favor the establishment of maximum and mini mum rates to be administered by the President under limitations fixed in the law, the maximum to be available to meet discriminations by foreign countries against American goods en tering their markets, and the mini mum to represent the normal meas ure, of protection at home; the aim and purpose of the Republican policy being not only to preserve, without excessive duties, that security against foreign competition to which Amer lean manufacturers, farmers and pro-& ducers are entitled,' but also to main-r tain the nigh standard of living , the wage earners of this country, wh J are the most direct beneficiaries" the protective system. Between te uuneu oiates ana me. rniuppim we believe In .a free, interchange products with such limitations as t sugar and. tobacco as will afford ade quate . protection to ' domestic inter ests. ; i ' " " . , - TTOIIAT na TTIT3 PATTDTa KJ i i W L.

State and Federal, ; l a.uu win ever lubisi luai ineir powers to enforce their process and to pro tect life, liberty and property shall be preserved inviolate. We believe, however, that the rules of procedure in the Federal courts with respect to the issuance of the writ of injunction should be more accurately defined by statute, and that no. Injunction, or temporary restraining order,--should be issued without notice, except where irreparable injury, would Je suit from delay, in which case a speedy hearing thereafter should bs granted. - In separate planks the platform . Praises Roosevelt's administration as an "epoch in American history." -Commends the passage of the emergency currency bill. "Declares for a revision of the tariff, with maximum and minimum rates. Says the anti-trust law has been a wholesome instrument for good. Commends the appropriation of $350,000 for the Interstate Commerce Commission to investigate railroads. Favors the extension of the free rural delivery system. Declares for the amendment of statutes covering the writ of injunc tion. Demands equality for the negro! Indorses the preservation of the White Mountain ; and Appalachian forests. : . - .; Declares for an increase in army and navy. .... : Commends arbitration and The Hague treaties. Urges ship subsidy legislation. Favors a . national health depart ment; Favors home rule for the Philip pines. - Hopes Cuba will soon be able to re sume complete sovereignty. Demands generous pension funds. The platform also calls for the ad mission of New Mexico and Arizona as separate- States forthwith, points out the fundamental difference be tween Democracy, and Republicanism. The conservation .of . natural re sources, including waterways; the protection of American " citizenship abroad; the extension of our foreign commerce; the encouragement of the merchant marine; the establishment of a bureau of mines and mining; the strengthening of the civil service; the development of good roads, and the recognition of the principle of arbitra tion are all treated in separate" planks. . SAVINGS BANK FAILS. Lincoln, of Philadelphia, Closes Doors : For a Second Time. : Philadelphia.

This recommendation, which was at once compllod with, was made with a view to checking the opifieraio vt rabies now prevailing hro. ea indi cated in a report from tho Bureau ot Animal Industry, .Department ot Ag riculture, made public Monday. TAH HEEL TOPICS r k Items Gathered from Ail New S. A. L. tracks to Kutherfordton Charlotte, Special. A significant move that, will be of interest to the people of this city is that to be in augurated by the Seaboard next Monday, when work will be started from Monroe towards Charlotte, tak ing up the old ties and rails and re building the Carolina Central tracks wittt 80-pouud rails instead of the CO-pound fails at present in use. This information is considered most sig nificant when it is remembered that the Clinchfleld Railroad, forerly the S. & W. has about completed its lines from the Virginia coal fields, and it will soon be ready to begin operation of its trains this summer. While there has been much said about the new railroad, and. even speculation as to its coming to Char lotte, the fact that it will connect with the Seaboard somewhere west of Charlotte, indicates that the read will turn a good deal of its business over to the Seaboard, or will operate many of its trains over the Seaboard The preparations by the Seaboard for extensive enlargements to its terminals at Wilmington, is also con sidered an indication the the Clinch field line would make use of the Sea board in some manner. Before the Seaboard went into receiveship the president of that road, while -' i:i Charlotte said last "summer, that Tiis road -would be naturally in a position to take all freight that might .be turned over to it at the intersection of the new road with the Seaboard west, of this, city, but nothing definite as to any proposed arrangements be tween the two roacV, was given out. Now that active work will be started on the-Seaboard road from Monroe, where the light rails of the western section are replaced, with heavier rails off to 'Hamlet, will be started next week, giving a continuous line of -heavy rails, and better road-bed from Hamlet to Rutherfordton, the prospects of something happening are made much more significant "than they have been before, and the Sea board t ill he prepared, when the work is completed, to handle heavier trains from its eastern terminus in North Carolina. The roar1! will also be improved by hallast all the dis tance between Monroe and Ruther fordton. . .-.

The sen timent of the North Carolina Bank ers' Association, now in session at Morehead City, seems to be strongly opposed to the new Vreeland-Ald-rich currency bill, and also to the principle upon which that bill is founded, vizi the issue of money up on bonds or investment securities. The sentiment of the association is practically unanimous in favor ef is sue of currency upon the general as set of the bank, .secured by a guar antee fund.

Miller, of the First National Bank of Richmond, made a short aA dress, in which, he took the position that we would have to have a guar antee ef-S&eposits. This would be up on the co-insurance plan as factories are insured against fire. The idea is that banks will associate themselves together to insure depositors against loss of deposits. Mr. Miller pointed out that there was a growing de mand for 'an-absolute secure deposit and this is more particularly true of savings fund. He pointed out that there was a strong tendency to es tablish postal savings banks. Ha thought the banks could do this bus iness even better than the govern -meat, but that the people had a ten dency to prefer the government, be cause of the feeling that their df posits would be. .absolutely secure in government hands. If the banks would proceed to formulate and ac cept a plan making- absolute security of deposits, then the growth of sen timent favoring postal banks would die. If the banks fail to make de posits absolutely secure, the growth of sentiment in favor of postal banks would increase. The Southbound Railway Solvent. Winston-Salem, Special.
