Saturday night the republican national convention at Chicago, after a long and tumultuous session renominated Wm. H. Taft for president and James S. Sherman for vice-president. Taft received 5C1 of the 1,078 votes in the convention, or twenty-one more than a majority. For twenty-four hours bo fore tho vote was taken, the Tnft leaders wore confident of victory, in fact after tho first day's session it was ovident that Roosevelt was in the minority and that the Tnft leaders, con fident of ultimntc success, conducted the fight with a view of creating as little friction as possible, but at times, owing to tho "rulo or ruin" policy of the Roosovelt followers, found it neces sary to "tightcnltho screws." Yotatno . time wore the Roosovelt men shut off from a fair and full hearing; in fact in all tho contests they wore given more time than is usually allowed. Three hundred and fifty Roosovelt ' delegates declined to vote when the nominations were made, and following the convention met at a different hall nnd pledged their support to Roosevelt on nn independent ticket in other words thoy formed a new party, whoso cardi nal principles Roosevelt said, was to be, "Thou shalt not steal." It is proposed to organize this third party nt onco by calling conventions In each of tho states the latter part of July or tho early part of Augunt. Thore is a variance of opinion as to what this third party will amount to, the preponderance of views being that it will not cut much ficurc. Should it assume much strength it is certain to result in n victory for tho democrats, for while tho purposo of the now organ ization is to draw both republicans and democrats it is certain that few demo crats will bo attracted. This proposed now party is not based on principles; its existence will bo due to the bitterness coming through tho defeat of Roosevelt, whose followers as well as himself are willing to see the republican party wrecked rather than have Taft triumph. Governor Will Say Nothing. , When told yesterday nftdrnoon that ho had been selected to represent Nebraska by tho Roosovelt bolters Govornor Alurich refused to talk. "I don't know anything about it, and I won't talk nbout it," said tho governor. "When I have been notified that I havo been solected then I may have some thing, but now there is nothing doing In the political gas business." Samuol Gompers, Frank Morrison and John Mitchell, tho lnbor lenders, were yestcrdny hold guilty of contempt of court by tho supremo court of the District of Columbia, in connection with n court's injunction in tho Buck's Stovo and Range boycott case.
