People's Gas company building in that
city which are from the same quarry as
the granite used in the Lincoln monu
ment, and which a local paper pronounced
of an Inferior quality on account of some
dark spots appearing In the stone. Mr.
Wait discovered that the same kind 'of

ing ' where , some of the same kind of
granite Is used, and was told by compe

the granite more valuable than It other

While it is not known, it is possible that

ALDRICH REFUSES TO TALK
Says Convention Spoke for Itself and
Has Nothing More to Say.
MAY SAT SOMETHING LATER
Thomas H. Bentou Believes Sentl
meat Against President Taft Will
Sobslde When Country Begins
to Think More Soberly.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb., June 23.-(Special.)-Governor
Aldrlch returned from Chicago
this morning feeling somewhat tired with
the experience of the strenuous week he
had passed. When asked to give his im
pressions of the convention he would only
say:
"It speaks for itself. You people Who
stayed at home know just about as much
about it as we who were there.",
"Do you think that the progressive
forces of Nebraska will follow Colonel
Roosevelt In the formation of a new
party?"" the governor was asked.
"I have nothing to say along that line
Just now," replied the governor. "When
When I get ready to talk for publication
I will let you know." ,
Promising tha? he would have some
thing possibly of Interest In a day or so
and that the newspapers would be given
a full chance to hear his statements, the
governor closed up as tight as'an oyster
and there was -nothing more doing.
' Benton on Rooneveltlans.
However, others who have returned
from Chicago are more willing to talk,
among them being Thomas H. Benton, a
former state official. He says that the
nomination of President Taft was almost
a foregone conclusion aft! the first skir
mish which resulted In the election of
Mr. Root Mr. Benton did not form a
very favorable opinion of the Roosecelt
leaders as a general rule. They were a
little too much along the line of a rule
or ruin policy and did not appear to be
near as gentlemanly In their conduct as
did thoso who were lined up for the other
candidates, and In their talks rather
turned sober thinking men against them.
They were especially Insulting when
Taft men were speaking, while on the
other hand -as a general thing the Roose
velt speakers were not interrupted in any
great degree. It was the general opinion
that a great deal of the sentiment against
Mr. Taft would subside after, people had
had time to think the matter over.

organ accompaniment. First the throng
stood and sang "America," "Columbia"
and other patriotic airs. When the organ
ist struck, up "Auld Lang Syne", the
audience sang again, many of the "steam
roller" delegates interpolating verses
dedicated to the republican party and Its
national convention.
The entire CalifoVnia delegation from
the republican convention, arrived a few
minutes before 10. Governor Johnson es
corted the delegates to the stage. The
California banner was waving from Its
staff at the head of the procession as the
delegates passed down the aisle, while

Another round of cheers was given
when Congressman George Norrls of
Nebraska, one of tho "insurgents" In
the house, ascended to the platform and
took his place beside George W. Wlck
ersham, the congressional delegate from
Alaska.
Just before Governor Johnson called the
meeting to order the crowd sang patriotic
songs and imitated a steam roller. When
news of the nomination reached the hall
all the delegates seemed pleased. The
Information that Vice President Sherman
had been renominated appeared to add
to their delight- Governor Johnson and
Glfford Pinchot shook hands, and both
turned to Frank A. Munsey, who had
Just arrived with the news, and patted
him on the back. The delegates from the
Coliseum convention arrived in a body
and marched to the hall, headed by Sen
ator Clapp of Minnesota and the Min

The New Jersey delegation from the
convention . followed Minnesota to the
stage, headed by former Governor Fort.
Another outburst greeted the delegation,
whose leader waved aloft the "New Jer

"Here comes Texas," shouted someone
as Cecil Lyon, defeated Texas leader In
the convention, made his way down the
aisle with National Committeeman Sidney
Bieber of Columbia.

the formal part of the meeting. .
The governor was preparing to speak
when the Oklahoma delegation arrived.
By this time the nonarrlval of the Penn

cially to fight a fraudulent convention.
"The delegates present reDresent a, mi.

These words brought the great audience
to its feet with a shout and for some
time there was an uproar of applause.
'The time has gone by when, in this
country any self-constituted representa

that which is theirs." Governor Johnson
continued, "the time has passed when
men can first by chicane or unfair
means put a candidate upon the people
whom they .don't want.
"So we have come here tonight to right

iiHting Colonel Roosevelt. It was adopted
with cheer. The resolution follows:
We, delegates and alternates to the re
publican nutional convention, represent
ing a clear majority of the voters of tlie
republican party in the nation urn! rep
resenting a clear' majority of delegates
and alternates legally elected to thn con
vention In meeting assembled, make the
following declaration :'
We were delegated by a majority of re
publican voters of our respective dis
tricts and states to nominate Theodore
Roosevelt in the republican national con
vention as the candidate of our party
for president and thereby carry out tho
will of the voters as expressed at the
primaries. We have earnestly and con
scientiously striven to execute the com
mission entrusted to us by the party
voters.
For five days we have been denied
justice in the national convefMon. This
result has been accomplished by the ac
tion of the now defunct national com
mittee in placing upon the preliminary
roll of the convention, and thereby seat
ing upon the floor of the convention, a
sufficient number of fraudulently elected
delegates to control the proceedings ot
the convention. These fraudulent dele
gates, once seated, have by concerted ac
tion with one another put themselves
upon the permanent roll, where they
constitute an influence sufficient to con
trol the convention and defeat the will
of the party as expressed at the primar
ies. We have exhausted every known means
to hold off this conspiracy and to pre
vent this fraud upon the popular will,
but without success.
We were sent to this couventlon bear
ing the most specific instructions to
place Theodore Roosevelt in nomination
as the candidate of our party for presi
dent and we therefore deem it to be our
duty to carry out these instructions in
the only practicable, and feasible way re
maining open to us".
Therefore, be It resolved that we. rep
resenting the majority of the. voters of
the republican party and of the dele
gates and alternates legally elected to
the national republican convention, In
compliance with our instructions from
the party voters, hereby nominate Theo
dore Roosevelt as the candidate of our
party for the office of president of the
United States; and we call upon him to
accept such nomination in compliance
with the will of the party voters.
And be It further resolved, that a com
mittee be appointed by the rhalr to
forthwith notify Colonel Roosevelt of the
action here taken and request him to ap
pear before us in this ball as soon as
convenient,
Prendera-ast Talk.
Mr. Prendergast then made the nomi
nating speech.
"I am very glad," said Mr. Prendergast,
"that tho opportunity is afforded me to
speak here tonight so that you may see
that all people of New York are not
quite so benighted as Governor Johnson
seems to think. N
"I want to say that If a popular pri
mary were held in New York today Mr.
Roosevelt would poll more votes than
Mr. Taft. Throughout this movement we
propose that New York la not backward
