Of the Republiotiii candidates nominated in that city, Lincoln and Garfield were assassinated, Blaine died a disappointed, if not a heartbroken, man. Arthur, who succeeded Garfield, lived to realize the full meaning of political ingratitude. Harrison, although renominated at Minneapolis, wa6 defeated. The defeat of Grant in the convention which met in Chicago in 1880 was the occasion of a bitter feud in the Republican party, and incidentally led to the defeat of the party four years later. Mr. Roosevelt was nominated in Chicago in 1904 and Mr. Taft in 1908. These two, of the seven standard bearers named by the Republican party in Chicago conventions, are the only ones living.

A NEGRO DELEGATE

GOES TO COLONEL Resents Money Sent to Him by McKinley for Mississippi Delegation. BY CARL MOTE. CHICAGO. 111.. June 15. Senator fDixon, campaign manager for the Roosevelt national committee, delivered a hard wallop to the Taft National bureau last night when he gave out for publication a letter received from Charles Banks, delegate to the na tional convention from Mississippi, who was seated Thursday by the national committee as a Taft man, but who will vote for Roosevelt. Banks, who is a colored delegate, declares Director William B. McKinley of the Taft National bureau gave him money with which to pay the expenses of the Mississippi delegation to Chicago and in his letter to Congressman McKinley returned the money given him for that purpose. In his letter to McKinley, Banks recalls a conversation between himself and McKinley when the former was in Washington looking after the Mississippi federal court bill. He says the money was given to him to pay the expenses of the other delegates and that after he arrived in Chicago he found that McKinley had told the delegates that he had given Banks "a lot of money for them." Banks is a prosperous negro, said to be worth from seventy-five to one hundred thousand dollars. He expresses his resentment that McKinley had circulated the story that he had been given money for other . delegates or that he had been bought "In turning from the support of your candidate," he says, "It may be urged that I have violated instructions. I shall say nothing of the conditions under which the convention issued Instructions unless later developments require it, but no member of the delegation from Mississippi will 6ay with justice to his conscience that I was elected on the strength of, or alliajice with any particular candidate. They have trusted me more than once; they will trust me again." The publication of the Banks letter is considered as the proof of Senator Dixon's charges that "the Taft managers were buying delegates. Director McKinley first made such charges against the Roosevelt managers, but, so far, he has produced no proof. A quack brought Into court In St. Louis the other day explained that In Michigan he had been a doctor, a real elector. One night he rode twenty miles in a blizzard and received a dozen eggs as a fee. This, he said, cured him of being a doctor. Season Tickets Admitting to all Only $2.00 Including Reserved Seats Subscribe Now !

'FOR LINE EXTENSION

To the Northern Section of the City. With the idea of drawing up the plans to be submitted to the officials of the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company, together with a petition for an extension of the street car lines to the northern part of the city, a committee representing the Commercial Club this morning talked the matter over with Superintendent McCullough. and F. N. Crowell. division engineer of the Pennsylvania railroad company. The committee composed of Adam H. Bartel. B. B. Johnson. Dr. Charles Bond, and Sam Fred, discussed the matter of the best street to use for crossing the railroad tracks. The Commercial club, realizing the need of an extension of the street car lines on North Tenth 6treet. or on some other street, by which the Reid Memorial hospital could be reached is making every possible effort to Induce the traction company to take this matter up. PARK AND LAKE DAY To Interest Citizens in New Enterprise. the Officers of the Commercial Club are planning to issue a general invitation o residents of the city and various 1 arts of the county to attend "Lake and Park Day," the date for which will be fixed later. The members of the club believe that such a day would give a number of people opportunities for visiting the site of the proposed rark and to interest them in the purchase of late. Up to the present, however, no lots have been placed on sale as the company desires to have the dam and lake fairly well under construction before belling lots in order that buyers may see just where their lots will be. RICHMOND IS SUED BY ALF. UNDERHILL A long threatened and heralded suit against the city of Richmond was this i-tternoon filed in the office of the county clerk. Alfred Underhill who has threatened the board of public works with suit unless they agreed to pay him $200 is the plaintiff in the suit. Underbill alleges that he had 600 perches f gravel upon a vacant lot at Eleventh and Main street and that it was valued at fifty cents per perch. He avers that the city used all of this gravel and has failed, neglected and refused to pay for it. He says that the gravel was placed upon the city's streets. The gravel was taken, the plalnlff alleges, in 1909.

That her divorced husband had not laid anything toward the support of their child for six hundred weeks; that he owed her $1,475 for her work, sacrifices and money expended in suplorting the child, and that the amount Yhlch he had paid her averaged but ix cents per week, were the charges made by Malissa Lee in her action against Francis M. Lee which was heard by Judge Fox this morning. The a tlon was brought against Lee in an cttempt to collect the amount alleged due her and to force him to pay her $1.25 per week for the support of their sen. After listening to evidence produced by both sides for some time. Judge Fox Mated that he had heard enough and crdered the defendant to pay the amount of $1.25 per week to Mrs. Elizabeth Candler, city missionary, who in turn will transfer the money each week to Mrs. JLee. Nothing was said about Lee being forced to pay the b mount alleged due his former wife. Lee contended that he Is unable to jay the amount whtch his divorced wife declared was due her, because of the small wages he makes and the Ugh cost of living. He said that he is willing to pay $1.25 per fk from now on or will take the child into his home. The mother of the child refused to consent to the latter proposition. Lee also declared that the reason he had neglected or faild to pay for the past few years was because be did not know where Mrs. Lee, No. 1, lived!
