U.S. VICE-PRESIDENCY
REPUBLICANS MO.VI IN AT E COLONEL KNOX CLEVELAND, June 12. Colonel W. F. Knox’s nomination for the Vice-Presidency at the Republican Convention was accepted to-day. Senator A. H. Vandenberg, who was Mr A. M London's choice, addressed a letter to the convention asking that his name be withdrawn. A dozen aspirants for the position were nominated by zealous friends, but while the stream of oratory continued, the party leaders went about the business of choosing between Senator Vandenberg and Colonel Knox, Senator Vandenberg’s withdrawal making possible the selection of Colonel Knox, the Chicago publisher, at the first ballot without a single dissenting vote. The convention then adjourned sine die.
