The national republican standard-bearers for this year are: For president William Howard Taft, of Ohio, For vice-president James Schoolcraft Shonmui, of New York. . . Each was selected on the first ballot. The nomination of each was made unanimous. It is a noticeable coincidence that Taft received the necessary number of votes to nominate on the vote of Ohio, and Slier 0 man on New York, . Mr. Sherman was nominated by 1 out of 079 votes cast and Secrt:)tary Tatt yesterday received 703 out of 978 votes cau The real work of the convention was done outside. Inside fj the convention hall all was harmonious except for a few brief 9 clashes which, withal, brought out no 111 humor. f ' The result of the convention, candidates and platform, is O the work of Theodore Roosevelt.

June 19 "Time, shake hands, wind up." Those were not the exact words used by Chairman Lodge, when his gavel fell this morning for the opening of the last day's session of the republican convention of 1908, but they express the thought. It only remained to name the tail of the ticket, do a little shouting for It, aud then go home. It is no betrayal of co-ifidence to say that the delegates and others who are at the convention will be very pled to say "Thank you, and good bye" to Chicago. Not that they havo any fault to find with the treatment iiccorded them by the city or Us uitUenft, but this has not been na en livening convention. It would have been thought that after Taft was nominated by an overwhelming majority and the plat-form adopted without the nasty fight which threatened for awhile, there would have been some unloosening of enthusiasm some popular 'demonstration of Joy and approval. If there was anything of this last night oV this morning, it has been carefully kept away from the big hotels where delegates and convention visitors congre gate, and from, the Coliseum too. Immediately after adjournment yesterday the question of the vice presidency was taken in hand by the leaders, and state caucuBjsa and conferences of various influences which may reasonably be expeeted to dominate the convention were in progress the greater part of the rilght. Many of the other states have said all along that if New York would unite on a candidate and present his name with the solid backing of the delegation, they would support him. New York did It, and this morning it was a legitimate S to 1 bet that Congressman James S. Sherman, one of the congressional "big four," would be Taft's running-mate. The Guild boom, which was always shaky, collapsed from its own weight and Gov. Guild's name, It was decided, not to present to the con vention. What little snap and ginger there was in the republican national convention Is out of it this morning. The time set for Chairman Lodge to get the gavel at work was 10 o'clock. At 10 minutes before that time there were not more than 250 men in the large space set apart for dele gates and alternates, and they looked as though they would gladly be somewhere else. In the places set apart for guests the few present at that time looked lonesome. Small blame to those who did not come, for another sweltering day Is at hand and the Coliseum cap give about as fine an Imitation of the hotroom in a Turkish bath as any building-in the country when weather conditions are favorable, j Chairman Lodge's gavel fell. The prayer of the chaplain was a eulogy of Mr. Taft, and was delivered a good deal In the tone and man ner of a nominating or seconding speech. Chairman Lodge announced that nominations were In order, and a motion was carried to limit the nominating speeches to 10 minutes. Just then a band leading a marching club carrying a Sherman ban ner entered the hall and created some enthusiasm. Then the call of states was begun. When Delaware was reached she yielded to New York .and Timothy L. Woodruff took the stand, amidst a storm of cheers tor Sherman and three for himself. He said Be represented the great Empire State, the foremost of the industrial commonwealth's-in the country. "I am,'; he said, "on the platform merely for the purpose of bring ing to you the name of one of the sons of that state as a candidate for vice-president. Having presented unsuccessfully a New York man for the presidency, we feel that, unless we are given Becond place on the ticket, we will not be able to deliver the electoral vote of the state, but with that place given us there can be no doubt of the success that awaits the (republican ticket. v !. "We were only once defeated when we had a New York man on the ticket, and that was when the democrats had a New York man on their ticket to oppose him. . .' , ; "Fortunately,' continued Mr. Woodruff, "I have to present to you a man not only known and respected in every section of his own state, but known sod respected In every congressional district In the United States."

They declare that if. the recom mendation made for statutory legis lation on the subject of injunctions be carried out it would "legalize the Injunction" instead of abolishing re straining orders in labor cases where ample remedy at law exists for the protection of property. This, they say, would make the injunction evil worse than it is at present.
