HOW ABOUT MKINLFY AND LONG,

Sir: The best Presidential ticket for the Rcpub

body asks who Is Mckinley and who Is Long. that
Just the why they the best ticket. They
are the best ticket because the Republican papers
and Republican stump orators could keep tellag,
from convention time to election time. about their
virtues and accomplishments and as for the fellows
on the other side. they would find them absolutely
unim peach liable. Congressman Mckinley was . major
of the Ohio delegation now. Congressman Long was
the most liked Governor Massachusetts ever Lad and
to-day the hearts of the people of the Bay
gress are both orators, scholars and gentlemen. and

WHY CHICAGO WAS NOT CHOSEN.
From The CHICAGO Times

According 10 a dispatch from Washington TO " The
Omaha Bee, sent the day before the meeting OF the
Democratic National Committee, the most effective
argument used against Chicago by the ST. Lousans was
that Mayor and police authorities are Republic ans
and would seize upon any Democ ratio moral weakness
As material the creation of political capital said
the subtle dwellers by the bridge: II yon go to
Chicago, and any of the delegates succuinb to the
destinations Of Venus Bacchus, Republic an police
man Will be standing ready TO grab you, lock you NJ
the night, and exhibit you in the police court INC
next morning The record OF the arrest Of few
delegates TO The Democratic Convention would be as
good political argument the Republicans would
want, Senator Farwcll and Others OF the G. o. p.
endcavored TO counteract this specous plea by declar
ing that municipal Inctonarfes OF Chicago would
deal gently with the erring" members Of the OK
sonlan brotherhood But their efforts proved all In
vain The committee resolved that It would take no
chances ON ten dollars thirty days.
