PECULIARITIES OF THE LATE CONVENTION
Not a Place tor Ikew, hot Merely a
" Baalness Meetlac of the Repre
sentatives of the People
of the,Coentry.
(From a Staff Corresponent)
CHICAGO, June M. (Bpecial Telegram.)
Ther la a vast difference between the
Windy- City when a national convention
la on and th orderly disposition of th
people, 'who make up thi metropolis, when
there Is nothing to disturb their money
making. Chicago, unlike New York or
Boston, flaunt In the -face of those -who
come to this town th fact that they1 are
'out for the money.' New -York conceal
It desire to get all th money there Is
In the country tinder a sympathetic garb,
Boston under an Intellectual robe, but
Chicago ha no sympathy or Intellectual
ity; money 1 king and those who lack th
"medium- of exchange" are not In th
running.
Blnce 1888 I have been attending political
conventions, but I never w the instinct
of the money changers so thoroughly rep
resented a during the national republican
convention which closed on Thursday.
Everywhere the Chicago" man tried to
save himself expenre. Flags, - that might
have been flung to the breese,' were un
doubtedly In cold storage and householders
saw in the fiftieth anniversary of the
organisation of the republican party just
a much Interest a the meeting' of the
National Live Stock association, no more,
no less. . ..
Outward Show Lacking?, . .
Where ther "ere marching club and
many band at former national conventions
held in this city, the last convention was
marked by an absenoe of outward; show,
accountable only In the fact that the Amer
ican 'people had sent th delegate to the
national convention to perform a' certain
duty, ' th nomination of Roosevelt and
Fairbanks, , and . it needqd no , blare of
trumpets and tawdry tlnalry"to bring
about th people's desire. It wa with
this In - mind that Chicago- housed the
national republican convention. .And v yet
with, the lack of trappings, th absence
of band and th speechmaklng that has
characterised former national convention,
this Chicago convention will stand out
prominently because the people spok their
wishes and not the polltlolans.
Face that Were Missed.
Ibsen in hi most pessimistic moments
could not hav found a more opportune
occasion for th study of "Ghosts" than
In the convention Just closed. They were
everywhere In the vast Coliseum In which
the national republican,. convention" wa
held. Hanna' name waa In the air. He
signed th call for the convention. On the
tickets that admitted the delegate to the
hall waa th portrait or the martyred Me
Kinley. Quay of Pennsylvania waa missing
from' the Una' when the Keystone delega
tion took their seats; Frederick S. Glbbs
of. New York, a close and dear friend of
Hanna,. hod also gone out in the four year
which separated the McKlnley from the
Roosevelt administration, and ' County
Chairman Hamilton of th New York dele
gation spoke of the lots of Mr. Glbbs with
a tremor In hi vote every time the "Old
Guard" wa mentioned. Aa for th others
Included In this paragraph, their name'
were pn the Hp of everyone. Orator paid
them homage, but a common people revere
their meqiory.
. -' Uncle Joe's Presence.
Ther wa one figure In the convention
just terminated that will stand out after
all other Incidents are forgotten Joseph
G. Cannon, speaker of the house of rep
resentative. Without hi assistance and
without hi peisonality I am inollned to
think that even the "nominating day" of
the convention might have lacked the en
thusiasm surrounding It, had he not added
to th oocoalon his forcefulness and his
farsightedness. At no time did he hesitate.
He was permanent chairman, toastmaster,
flag waver and-everything that tended to
bring the convention to a realisation that
they were nominating the next president,.
and I may say right here that Joseph G.
Cannon was th choice of President Roose
velt for ' vice president but.
Speaking of Speaker Cannon, Charles H.
Grosvenor, a ' representative In congress
from th Eleventh Ohio district, at a din
tti at th imllton club on Thursday
evening, stated that h wo a page in the
convention whloh nominated Abraham Lin
coln, May It, 1880, at Chicago, and he de
scribed that convention In a most dramatlo
manner. He told of the nominating
speeches of that day in contrast with the
bursts of oratory which characterized the
nominating speeches of Roosevelt and Fair
banks. Then Grosvenor said: "During the
week I have been searching out men who
sat in the convention of '60 her in Chicago.
I haven't found very many. I met Uncle
Joe (Cannon) today and asked him where
he was when the Lincoln convention was
being held and he replied 'Right here In
Illinois, out I didn't have money enough
to go to the convention.' "
Polished Domes and Politics..
Are we becoming a nation of baldheada?
I think there must have been 2,000 hairless
oltlsen in the Coliseum on the several days
of the convention. They were largely pre
dominant in the space set apart for the
delegates, and I wondered if politics
brought loss of hair. In the convention of
im the absence of baldhead was remarked
when McKlnley was nominated at St.
Louis. Th presence of many baldhead at
Chicago In 1804, and the nomination of
Roosevelt, a "young fellow." as time goes,
FOOD FACT5
What an M. D. Learned.
A prominent physician of Rome, Georgia,
went through a food experience which he
makes public.
"It wa my own experience that nrst led
m to advocat Grape-Nuts food and I
also know from having preecrlbed it t
convalescent and other weak patient that
the food la a wonderful rebullder and re
storer of nerve and brain tissue, a well
as muscle. It Improves the digestion and
sick patient always gain just as I did In
strength and weight very rapidly.
"I was in such a low state that I had
to give up my work entirely and' go to the
mountain of this slat, but tw months
there did not Improve me; In fact I waa
not quit a well as when I left horn. My
food absolutely refused to sustain ra and
It became plain that I must change, then
I began to use Grape-Nut food and In two
weeks I could walk a mile without th least
fatlgu and in flv week returned to my
horn and practice, taking up hard work
again. Bine that time I hav felt a well

whelm me, I am too poor In words to ex

greeting. I am not Insensible to the high
honor which the republican national con
vention at cnicago nas conferred, but
above and beyond that I value the neigh

I have so long enjoyed here and which
you manifest so generously tonight.
This city is very dear to us all. W hav
for It a profound affection. Most of what
we have been and what we are and what
we expect to be Is centered here. Its
shame Is our shame; Its honor our glory.
It Is home, and there Is no sweeter, bet
ter word than thla in all the vast vocabu

Our city has contributed many who have
taken conspicuous place In American his

honor they have brought to it. There was

his countrymen, of great ability and high
purpnoe, and we honor their memories irre
spective of our political beliefs.
In the perilous hours of .our country, ,
Oliver P. Morton, the Cromwell of Ameri

strength., Walter Q. Oresham rendered
conspicuous military and clvlo service and j

of the dead yonder, General Benjamin

We are proud of our city and state and
beyond that we are croud of our cltlsen-
tship. Here labor and capital, those two
mignty rorces In our upbuilding find a
fruitful Held of employment and here their
mutual rights are protected..
We value and hold fast to those virtues
of th fireside which are the real strength
of the republic. Our people are character
ised by plain living and high thinking.
My friends we have much to be thankful
for. About us are the ample rewards of
honest Industry and the rich fruits of
peace. Let us seek to promote good laws,
wise administration, and make ourselves
secure in the enjoyment of that content

and orderly enforcement of the law.
