Tremendous Demonstration, Contin Ing Nearly a Half Hour Greets the Announcement of the Vote. Chicago, Special. ? For President of tho United States, William II. Taft, of Ohio. For Vice-President, James S. Sherman, of New York ? that 4s the Republican ticket. Such is the revord of the culminat ing day of the Republican national convention of 190S, effected amid scenes of tumultuous enthusiaxm ami after a nerve-racking continuous sion lasting nearly eight hours. With a President named and platform enunciated there remains only the nomination of the Vice President to 'complete this momontous work; A night the whole city was given ovci to wild exultation in honor of th< new candidate whose name go?* echo ing through the country. A Memorable Picture. < The picture within the waits of the vast amphitheatre as the presi tumult into thunder. A huge blue silk banner bearing the familiar, fea tures of the statesman-Secretary was swung before the delegates, awaken ing a fresh whirlwind of enthnaiaam. All scmblance of order had been abandoned anrt the delegates' arena was a maelstrom of gesticulating men; the guidons of the States were snatchcd up by the Taft enthusiaats or borne under by the storm of dis order. The board was inaudible ? a mere whisper dbove the deafening volume of sound. Ten, fifteen, twen ty minutes this uproar continued. It was a repetition of the scene of Wed nesday, when the name of Roosevelt threw the convention into a frenzy, repeated in intensity and almost in duration. But there is a limit to the nhysieftl resources of throat anrt lung and at last the tired voices died ?lown to a hoarse shout, and finally subsided. ? The lull now gave the opportunity "or the speech seconding Taft 'a nom ination hv Geortffe' H.

In front, to the right and left, below and above, the billowing sea of hu manity, restless after hours of wait ing and stirred from one emotion to another, was in a fever of expectan cy for the culminating vote. The fav orite sons of other States had been named, save Knox nnd LaFollette. and now on the roll cnll came Ohio. As the Buckeye State was reachcd, the tall, gaunt form of Theodore E. there was" another -lull in the Taft movemeht{ while the roraaiiiraj? ?! can duVtes were placed in' hoibftifltitim. It was early apparent thai Taft would lead Bubst initially on ftrgt bal1 1M, nud oven alter; #he.>VQt,e. had ria en beyond the necessary number to nominate the roll-call of State.4 con tinued until all had voted.

It was a tired i?t of delegates that assembled Fri day morning to finish the business of the Republican National Contention. The New York delegation had caucus ed ? all night and agreed upon their choice. . It was moved and earned that nominating address be limited to ten minutes. j Timothy C. Woodruff, of New Torlc, named James S. Sherman, of Uties, for the plaee saying that New York ean be carried by the Republi cans if a New York man eets on the ticket. New York had failed to got the first place for Governor Hughes, but the Empire Stste will be. found in the Republican column if it ean have any place on the ticket; otherwise there ia danger of the nominee at Denver. Only once, when New York had a man on the ticket, had the State been lost to the Republicans, and that time New York was carried by a strong Democrat. (Loud cheers from all the Eastern delegations.) Speaker Cannon warmed the crowd to the highest pitch of enthusiasm by saying Sherman was as well qualiAed as any man on earth to take the place of the President if the President should be cslled away. The Coliseum crowd went wild as Cannon conclud ed, and it was aeen that the man for whom Woodruff and the Speaker had let out their lungs would be nominat ed barring miracles. . Chairman Lodge called for the roll and the result was A16 for Sherman, 75 for Murphy, 75 for Guild, 10 for Sheldon, one for Fairbanks. Massachusetts moved to make the nomination of Sherman unanimous, and this was carried. ' Senator Warner, of Missouri, was made chairman of . a committee to notify the vice presidential candi date, aa Senator Lodge aaila for Eu rope and eannot serve.

Continues His Criticism of ths Re publican Platform, Taking M His 8ubject the Anti-Injunction Plank. Lincoln, Neb., Special. ? Following up 1 o.tpressin in criaicism of the Rci>ubii< ?n national platform in gen eral, \tiliam J. Bryan gave out a statement in which the aati-injunc tion plank of the Chicago declara tion, characterizing it as a " transper* ent frauA" That statement says: "The anti-injunction plank of the Republican platform as finally adopt ed is a transparent fraud. It is pos sible that the members of the commit tee were buneoed by some trust law yer ? that is the only charitable view that can be taken of it. Those who advocated the plank claimed to be do ing it as a eonoession to the wage earners, and yH if one will read the plank he will see that . it is in fact announcement that the Republican party is unalterably opposed to the laboring man 'a position. "The men who are responsible for the language of the injunction plank may have footed tbe convention, but the voters in gtneral. The injunetiplt plank haa not- eren the value of a gold-plat* briek for the plating is brass aa well *? the interior of the briek. "This is the treatment received by the wage-earners from the national convention of the Republican party. If this is the position , of the party before the election, what reason has the laboring man to hope that the party will do better after election t" CONGRATULATIONS POUR IK. Washington, Special. ? Usually an early riser, Secretary Taft was a lit tle late in taking up the business of the day and it was after 9 o'clock Friday morning before he came down to breakfast. The principal lower rooms of the K street residence of the Secretary were filled with magnifi cent bunches of cut flowers, and tel egrams of congratulations were piled high upon the sideboard. One that camo overnight was of peculiar in terest to the Secretary." It was as followat "Madison, Wia., June 18. "Hon. William H. Taft, Washington, D. C. "While the platform is disappoint ing in some fundamental provisions and omissions, ajl I shall claim the right to say so, 1 congratulate you most sincerely and in the faith that you are more nearlv in accord with the great body of Republican voters than the platform, I shall do all ir> my power to insure your election. "ROBERT M. LAFOLETTE." The fatigue of the excitement of Thursday night apparently made lit tle impression upon Mrs. Tafl and other members of the Secretary's family and even before the usual breakfast hour all of them were down stairs and deeply engrossed in the morning newspapers, pvery one of which displayed more or less pleas ing liknesses of the War Secre tary and candidate on the first page. Foraker Extends Congratulation*. Washington, Speeial. ? Ths follow ing correspondence between Secre tary Tnft and Senator Foraker fol lowing the nomination of the former at Chicago, wan made public at the W?r Department: "Dear Mr. Secretary: Although I fear it may be unwelcome and prob ably toisundsratood. it is nevertheless my pleasure to avail myself of the privilege to tend you heartiest cou grntulations and bc*t wi?he* for sue ww in November.
