He is one of the cleanest, ablest, noblest Romans of them all.

In nominating for the Vice Presidency Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois, the Chicago convention completed its work admirably. “Cleveland and Stevenson" make a very strong ticket. Excepting Mr. Cleveland himself no one is more popular in Illinois and in the West than Mr. Stevenson. Like Mr. Cleveland, he is a man and not ammey-bags. He has come up from ihe people. He stande for American manhood and manhood rights, not for money and money privileges. He was put on the ticket because he is qualified for Vice President, and not to “reach into Wall street" or to “pay the freight.”—St. Louis Republic.
