Convention Closes, After Nominating a Ticket that Will Roll Up a Big Majority in November

were ably assisted by John C. Rillheimer, of Washington; John McCardle. of New Richmond; Will R. Wool, of Ifayctte, and half a dozen others. To show how well the plans of the Hanly forces materialized Hanly received a fraction over 701 votes on the roll call, where 713 had been counted on, then fifty-four votes were hurled in by changes made before the result was announced and fifty votes had been arranged for in this coup. The counties that changed their votes in this pl.iy were Madden and Randolph, of the Eighth, and Wayne. Fayette and Franklin, of the Sixth. On the roll call Madison had given twenty-five votes to Hani, ten to Taylor, five to Penfteld and' four for Sayre. Randolph's vote stood twelve for Hanly. four for Taylor and thre euch for Sayre and Penfleld: Wayne's fifteen for Hanly, two for Taylor, three for Sayre and fix for Fenfteld; Fayette's rix for Hanly. two fur Taylor and one each for Sayre and Penfteld; Franklin two each for the four candidate?. HANLY'S GREAT LKAD. When the roll call had been completed it was apparent that Hanly had a tremendous lead, but few of the delegates and spectators realized how close he was to the prize and' that the change in the vote of a few counties would give him the nomination. Brown county first secured recognition to change its vote and cast one vote for Hanly, Taylor and Sayre each, whereas on the roll call the county had been solid for Hanly. That was a loss of two votes for Hanly, but it was insignificant and before anything further could be done to stem the tide to Hanly Madison county hurled its entire strength of forty-four votes to him, a gain of nineteen. Then Mr. Starr followed with the solid vote of Wayne, a gain of eleven, and Mr. Hunt hurled another avalanche from his district, delivering Randolph county to his candidate, a gain of ten. and then Mr. Starr put on the finishing touches by adding the solid votes of Fayette and Franklin, a further gain of ten. and the thing was done. Ilanly's net gain by the changes was fiftytwo votes, giving him a substantial majority of the 1.2SA votes in the convention. Th result of the ballot was never announced. The other candidates were informed of the figures, and Mr. Sayre stepped to the front of the stage to make the conventional motion. Even then hundreds of the delegates did not realize that Hanly had been nominated, and some Hanly followers feared that Sayre was about to withdraw in favor of Taylor or Penfield, or make some coup that might prove disastrous to their hopes, and it was some time before Governor Durbln could get a hearing for the Wabash man. The first words that Mr. Sayre had to say let the great crowd know that the fight was over. He said: MR. SAYRE'S SPEECH. Gentlemen of. the convention, first of all I desire to thank the delegates from the Eleventh district for their loyal and generous support, and secondly, I desire especially to thank the entire convention for the nomination it ha3 given me as the nominee at large for the General Assembly of the State of Indiana next winter, because all the while I have had the nomination for representative from Wabash county up my sleeve. Gentlemen of the convention. I want to say a3 a personal pleasure that I desire to move to make the nomination of J. Frank Hanly unanimous." In seconding the motion Judge Penfield 153.1(1 ! "Gentlemen of the convention. I heartily congratulate you on the nomination you have made of the Hon. J. Frank Hanly as the standard-bearer in the present campaign. When this campaign began Mr. Hanly and I entered Into a personal agreement that, as we would begin It the best of friends, the best of friends we would remain. The compact has been kept. I desire to thank all of his supporters for the courtesy and magnanimous treatment which they have always accorded me. I desire to thank the supporters of Mr. Sayre ani of Mr. Taylor for the same courteous treatment, and to thosk who have so generously and so loyally supported me I am Immeasurably In debt. Gentlemen, I again thank you for your kindness." MR. TAYLOR'S SECOND. Mr. Taylor was not on the stage at this time, but he appeared promptly and added his second in a speech from the press table. "This is not the speech that I expected to make," said he. "Every, good Republican knows that the permanent good of the Republican party Is of a thousand times more benefit to this country than the personal ambitions of any man. We had four candidates for Governor this morning. We have one now. I pledge you, which is not necessary, that In this campaign wherever and whenever and however I can aid iu the election of J. Frank Hanly for Governor and the rest of the Republican ticket, I shall do as I have always done. Republicans of this State have surrounding them the battleground of the fight this fall. For teu years we have won the fight, and for this year and two years more we shall again win the fight for good government, for civil liberty and civic righteousness. "I only want to say that I hope that all the remainder of the proceedings here wilt be of the most harmonious character, and that when we leave this hall we shall have only one ticket, only one emblem, only one flag, only one sentiment, and that that the permanent good of this country lies in the permanent prosperity and the advancement of the cause of the Republican party. There Is no permanent good, in my judgment, in this country, except when it is in the hands of the party that knows how to keep house. I want to second the nomination just made, and I hope that this convention, with Its 1,48 votes, will join in this announcement, and that It will rally around the standard bearer äs we have around the ticket, and elect the Republican ticket by a great, bte, handsome majority this year." OVATION FOR THE WINNER. The dignity and grace of the defeated candidates won them warm applause from the crowd, and then came a great ovation for the winner, J. Frank Hanly. The loyal friends of the successful candidate went Into a veritable frenzy of Joy and It was some time before Mr. Hanly could make himself heard. He was presented by Governor Durbin as "the man you have selected to be my successor," and in acknowledging the demonstration and accepting the nomination, he said: "I would be less than human if I was insensible to this remarkable manifestation of your partiality. I entered this contest with three other gentlemen of distinguished abl'ity, trusting to the common people of the State of Indiana to judge among us. So far as I am concerned I am satisfied with your verdict. In all this campaign no word of mine has cast reproach upon any one of my competitors. I accept the nomination as a sacred trust, confided to my care by a generous and too partial people, and after the election it Is my ambition, and my only one, to Justify your partiality by such an administration of the State's affairs as shall appeal to the judgment of all good people, without regard to party afftliMions. My heart is too full with gratitude to have any room for malice or 111 will against any man. 1 thank you notv- and always."

votes of any of the counties were changed, Is given below. HANLY'S STRENGTH UNIFORM. An analysis of this vote shows that Mr. Hanly had remarkable strength throughout the State. There were but sixteen counties from which he received no votes, and, considering the fact that he had three opponents who had the solid support of their tespectlve districts, this showing was notable. Marion county stood loyally by her candidate, Ws J Taylor, giving him every one of her 124 votes. Judge Penfleld received every vote in the Twelfth district, as did Mr. Sayre In the ele venth. Mr. Hanly lost one vote In his district, the Tenth, in the Lake county delegation, where one man insisted on voting for Penfield. It was reported that Hanly had joined forces with candidates in the other contests and that he would assist in the nomination of the men with whom his managers had bargained, but there was no evidence of stich a combination in any of'the other contests. Mr. Hanly's district, particularly his own county of Tippecanoe, did not take a decided position in any of the contests. THE II ALLOT. The vote for Governor, before the changes were made, stood:

DELEGATES DEPART AND HEADQUARTERS ARE QUIET Passing of Republican State Convention Leaves Its Mark in the English Hotel. The English Hertel presented a different appearance last night from thatv of the evening before, when it was thronged with politicians and their friends on the eve of the big struggle of the convention. Last night the lobby and upper' halls of the hotel were almost deserted by politicians, ave for a few delegates who remained over until to-day. Most of the delegates left for their homes late yesterday afternoon and last evening, and most of those who are staying until to-day retired early, tired from the day's work. However, signs of the convention were not lacking at the English, which was the headquarters of the delegates. Dirt and confusion mark the wake of the convention in the hotel, which had been thrown wide open to the political throngs. Although efforts were made by the hotel (one to clear away the wreckage made by the crowd, the lobby still showed last night the roush usage to which it had been subjected. The floor was tracked with footprints and the chairs were scattered about in shiftless order. Mud tracked in by the hundreds of visitors, scraps of paper and butts of cigars littered the Moor. Delegates to the convention praised loudly the reception and treatment accorded them by the hotel management. In handling such crowtlä hotels are put to hard tests and usually suffer from the effects. However, the English authorities held nothing back, but turned the hotel over to the use of the ccuVcntiuo.

SELF CHÜSEH CANDIDATE FOR REPORTER OF COURT Corydon Alan Gets Away in the Lead and Wins on Second Ballot.

SPEECHES ARE MADE

Corwin, Smith and Xash Graceful! v Acknowledge Defeat in Convention. '

The vole by counties on the first ballot and the unfinished second tells the tory of the contest for the nomination for reporter of the Supreme Court. It was Oeorge W. Self's race from the outset, as he was almost 2) voles in the lead of L. 13. Nash, his nearest competitor, when the result of the first roll call was announced. On the second Self drew heavily from the forces of all three of his opponents, and It was apparent long before the roll had been half completed that he had captured the convention. He was nominated when the vote of Tippecanoe county, which was divided between him and Nash, was announced, but the call was continued down to and including Vanderburg before his opponents abandoned the fight. Ii. F. Corwin made the motion by which Mr. Self's nomination was made unanimous, and he made a graceful speech In which he thanked his supporters and complimented and congratulated his successful rival. Frank Smith, in seconding the motion, made a hit with the convention when he said: "I knew all along that 'Self, would be the winner of this race, but I had thought that it would be M. Y. Self Instead of G. W. Self.' " Mr. Nash made a Btlrring speech In adding his second to that of Smith. This was his second defeat for this office, but he showed that he could accept defeat gracefully and Uno up enthusiastically for the vinningticket. Mr. Self was somewhat at a loss as to what to say when he took the center of the stage, but he made his acknowledgments happily äfter all. "As 1 1 have said frequently during the campaign," he said, I felt that In compensation for removing the State Capitol from my home city of Corydon, the Republican? of the State should take one of the citizens of Corydon and put him In the Capitol In this city. Now I believe that I am in a fair way to get what I want, for my election will certainly follow my nomination. I thank you." THE FIRST BALLOT. The first ballot for Reporter of the Supreme Court by counties was as follows:

The race for state statistician was In reality the shortest of the convention, for it was apparent early in the first roll call that Joseph II. Stubbs, of Indianapolis, who was widely advertised by Lew Shank, his manager, as "the baldheaded man," would be the winner. B. F. Johnson, the present Incumbent of the office, showed considerable strength, but J. W. Egnew, of Lagro, had evidently lost heavily during the close of the ante-convention fight and was not in the running from ti.e cutset. The feature of this race was ü. prolonged squabble over the Marion rounty vote. One element in the deleuntion favored Stubbs, but there was a large element that was antagonistic to him and did everything possible to help Johnson. When Marion county was cnlled Harry S. New. the chairman of the delegation, announced the vote as thirty-eight for Stubbs, seventy-seven for Johnson and nine for Egnew. The vote was Instantly challenged by the Stubbs forces and this necessitated the polling of the delegation, which was a long job with the 124 members. The task was prolonged further by the good-natured bickerings of the members of the delegation, but in the end the vote of thb county was registered as 31V for Stubbs, 6ni for Johnson and 10 tor Egnew. Cass Connaway, who is a candidate for the nomination fortate senator from Marion county, raisei a laugh during the polling of the delegation, when he diplomatically divided his vote between Stubbs and Johnson. Stubbs had 420 votes before Marlon county was called, and it. did not require the entire ballot to make him the winner, but the roll call was concluded. On the motion of Mr. Johnson, seconded by Mr. Egnew, his nomination was made unanimous. Mr. Stubbs made a brief speech thanking the convention for the honor conferred upon him. The vote for statistician was a3 follows:

HANLY FEELS DEEPLY THE

HONOR

BESTOWED

UPON H M

Candidate for Governor Receives Congratulations of Hundreds of Republicans. J. Frank Hanly, the nominee for Governor, spent the afternoon at his rooms in the L'nglish Hotel, where hundreds of friends called to congratulate him. When

seen by a Journal reporter, said: "The people were back of convention. They made the

and I am profoundly grateful, tlon was one of the most

gatherings of Republicans I have ever seen and the harmony displayed throughout was an evidence of the great strength of tho party. I feel deeply the honor bestowed upon me in placing me on the platform such as that adopted by the conr vention."

enthusiastic

HANLY HAD ENOUGH VOTES TO NAME HIM

Story of Sayre's Motion Beingf Premature Is Without Truth.

Before the convention adjourned yesterday a report was started that Warren G. Sayre, one of the candidates for Governor, had been premature in his motion to make the nomination of Hanly unanimous, and that at the time he made the motion Hanly had not received a majority of the votes lu the convention. The etory was played up In a local afternoon paper with sensational hints and inference. There was absolutely no foundation for the report, as was shown by the records of the convention, by the statements , of the officers of the convention and by the figures compiled by newspaper men. Mr. Sayre and Judge Penfleld, who fat by his side on the stage, kept count of the vote and knew how close Hanly was to the nomination wheii the first roll call had been finished. Then, when Madison, Wayne, Randolph, Fayette and Franklin counties changed their votes, giving Hanly over fifty additional votes, they knew that the race was over. Mr. Sayre made his motion accordingly, and was seconded by Judge Penlleld and Mr. Taylor.

STUBBS PREDICTS A GREAT VICTORY

Joseph H. Stubbs, nominee for state statistician. Is naturally well pleased with the work of the convention. He said last night: , "The ticket nominated by the Republican party of Indiana to-day was as good a one as could have been nominated from top to bottom. Of course the bottom of the ticket was especially pleasing to me. The ticket otiht to be elected, and, with the record of the Republican party behind it and the character of the men composing it to recommend it to the voters of Indiana 1 have no doubt that it will be triumphantly elected.'"

Platform Adopted by the Republican State Convention Yesterday

The Republican party, in convention assembled, presents with profound satisfaction the achievements of the Nation since the party was founded, and intrusted by the people with the control of our government. It has reunited a divided country, freed the slaves, established the. monetary system on a gold basis, restored the national credit and developed the American system of protection, until the United States is thd leading Industrial nation of the world. In the cause of humanity it fought a victorious war on land and sea that other peoples might be released from the burdens of oppression. These and other national deeds of peace and war under Republican administration have won the respect und praise of the world, and placed our country in the first rank amongst the nations. And now, under continuing wise jand patriotic leadership, the Republican party moves forward, maintaining and extending its policies and its purposes, and with unabated confidence again invites the support and suffrages of the people. We heartily and unreservedly indorse the wise and patriotic administration of Theodore Roosevelt. The 'President has met the tremendous responsibilities of his great office upon the high level of national duty, and national honor. His administration has been thoroughly Republican and genuinely American. It has advanced prosperity at hom and maintained our national interests ubroad. The laws hav been fearlessly and impartially enforced as they were enacted by Congress. Kvil-docrs have beta driven from the public service. The people demand u continuance of the present stable and prosperous conditions, and we therefore favor the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for President, and hereby instruct the delegates chosen by this convention to support Iiis candidacy. We pledge anew our confidence in the wisdom and efficacy of the protective tariff. This great Republican policy has abundantly Justified itself, and its maintenance is essential to the continuance of our industrial independence and national prosperity. It is demanded alike in the interest of both American labor and capital. We favor changed of schedules as conditions demand, but such changes should only be made consistently with the policy of protection. The Republican party has firmly established the gold standard apainst violent Democratic opposition. Our monetary system, which is the best in the world, is the sich Iruit of Kepubiicatl statesmanship. We

have more money among the people than we ever had in the history of the Republic, and it is of unquestioned soundness and purchasing power. . We commend President Roosevelt for his faithful enforcement of the laws applicable to combinations of capital in restraint of wholesome trade and commerce, which the Democratic party, when in power, refused to execute; and to further prevent corporate evns we have placed on the statute books additional laws providing for publicity, preventing rebates by railroads, and creating a Department of Commerce and Labor for the more effectual supervision and enforcement of the laws. We approve the. reciprocity treaty with the Republic of Cuba. Our relations with the new republic should always be such as are dictated by Justice and generosity; to the end that the ties which bind the two peoples together in commerce and amity may contiuue close and unbroken. We Qpprove the course of President Roosevelt in protecting the imperiled interests of Americans upon the ' Isthmus of Panama; in promptly recognizing the Independence of the people and the Republic of Panama, and In securing a treaty with that republic under which the United States may construct an interoceanlc canal In the interests of the commerce of the world; and we further commend the President for the promptness and energy with which he Is pushing forward the work of this great enterprise. American administration In the Philippines has resulted in peace to the people, honest government, equal justice to all, improvement in material conditions and the spread of education. No nation's work for civilization has surpassed that of the Republic in the archipelago. To that policy we will steadfastly adhere. We favor the principle of arbitration In the adjustment of international disputes where they do not involve th national honor, and we commend the administration of President Roosevelt for its efforts to embody this principle in treaty compacts with other powers. The Republican party can never forget the heroic services of our soldiers and sailors upon land and sea. We bt-lieve in a jxist pension policy towards those who have borne the burden and heat of battle, their widows and orphans. We heartily commend the administration of Governor Winrteld T. Durbin and the officials associated with him in the management of State affairs. It has been an administration characterized by jealous regard for the welfare of the taxpaylng public, by zealous And successful endeavor for the promotion of high standards In the conduct of the State's institutions, and by a manifest devotion to thö principle of complete divorcement of public, affairs from partisan put poses, and that the same scrupulous tare and close accountability should be required in the transaction of the business of th& State aa la the conduct of the

affairs of any other great business institution. It has been an administration rendered notable in the history of the State by the vindication, in a crisis, of the majesty of the law, which he attracted to it the favorable attention of the country. During the last ten years of Republican control of State affairs the State debt has been reduced from $7.520,615.12 to $2,102,615.12, and the State tax levy has been reduced from Zl cents to 30?i cents on each $100 of taxable property. The average gross maintenance per capita of all the State Institutions has been reduced from $173.76, In 1S03, to $100.18. in 1H03, and with a population In these institutions of I2,f540, as shown by the last statistical report, this alone effects a saving to the taxpayers of $234.S67.92 per annum. During this period 50 per cent, of the con tract labor in the State prisons has been abolished, and by statutory limitation only two more years remain for the continuance of the contract labor system In thQ Reformatory at Jeffersonville. We declare our opposition to any renewal of the labor contracts at the Indiana Reformatory, and-we are In favor of providing. In the language of the statute establishing the Reformatory, "for the thorough training of each and every inmate of the Institution, giving him such an education, training in industry or handicraft as will enable him ufjon his release to more fully earn. his own support and make him a more self-reliant and selfsupporting citizen." Among other wise and just measures placed upon the statute books during this period are the acts creating a labor .commission, and providing means for the settlement of the disputes between the employer and the employe, and providing that all fees of State officers and miscellaneous receipts of State institutions be turned directly into the state treasury. In 1803, under Democratic statutes and Democratic Administration. these fees amounted to only $30,701.45 per annum; under Republican statutes and Republican administration in 1W3 the fees from this source turned into the general fund amounted to ?lS.3.vj.7S. a net saving to the taxpayers of S,S79.33 per annum. During this period there have also been placed upon the statute books laws providing for factory inspection, prohibiting the employment of chill labor and providing safeguards in the auditing of public expenses. Through the passage of the mortgage exemption law over owners of homes are now receiving the benefit of a just reduction of their taxe. Through Republican legislation and administration during this period the benevolent and penal institutions have been lifted from political control and the wards of the State have been assured humane and efficient treatment. We renew our pledge of devotion to the policy of nonpartlsanship In th control of these institutions, believing thai the trust imposed upon those having their affairs in hand id too sacred tu be dis

charged with any end in view but the interests of the commonwealth and the welfare of those thus committed to Its care. These and other acts of legislation and administration illustrate the devotion of the Republican party to the common weal, and to the continuance and amplification of euch policies we pledge ourselves. . We are -in favor of such wise and Just legislation as will adequately protect ttV shipping, producing and consuming interests of the State, and prevent unjust discrimination in rates and shipping facilities. We favor placing private banks under State control and regulation. Primary elections and party nominations should be amply safeguarded both by law and party practice. We heartily approve the action of the state committee in promulgating wholesome rules governing the selection of delegates to state, district and legislative conventions. The state committee is directed to consider the advisability of a further system of party rules which shall apply to county, township and other local primaries or assemblies, and is empowered to adopt the same. We demand the enactment by the Legislature of such additional laws, or amendments to existing legislation, as may be necessary to secure fair and honest nominations of candidates by all parties. Since th? succession of the Republican party to legislative responsibilities in Indiana in 15, more than thirty important law3 for the benefit and protectldn of labor have been placed upon the statute books of the State, and these give assurance of further measures under Republican rule In the matter of legislation for the Jut safeguarding of the Interests of the wageearner. No State in the Union is more ably represented in the House 'of Representatives than the State of Indiana by its Republican members. They are men of character, ability and influence, and the people of the State have a Just appreciation of the splendid record they have made. .Jrhf.IlPpub,lcans of InfNana are prot;d of the high rank. and conspicuous services of Charles W. Fairbanks and Albert J. Reverldge. In the Senate of the United States, and most heartily approve the record of each of these distinguished leaders in that great legislative body. We congratulate a'll friends of wise and sane governmental policies on the return of Mr. Fairbanks to the Senate for a second term, by the last General Assembly. Likewise, the next General Assembly should act with equal wisdom in returning Albert J. Reveridge as his own successor to the place In the national councils where his splendid talents have brought honor to his State and Nation. We unreservedly Indorse Senator Reveridge for re-election, and commend him to the Republican delegation In the next General Assembly as the choice o( the Republicans of Indiana, and as deserving the unanimous support of the member 01 his party in that body.
