WHERE WILL THE SUN STAND?
The New York Sun in comment
ing upon Hon. VIM. Mckinley and
his magnificent victory in Ohio, says
che is one of the most eminent men in
the Republican party; able, vigorous,
high minded, OLE enough for Ill pub
lie honors and young enough for am
bitioa to rock his hopes with the
most irresistible power. In the Re
publican National convention in 1883
he became recognized as one of the
party's available statesmen. Bat for
His stalwart virtue The name & the
candidate presented before the con-
vention By the Ohio delegation, If
which he was chairman. would have
been withdrawn aud his own s,tbsti-
trted Will the certainty of powerful
support from other quarters. He +.
fused to reach out for honors tender
ed across his loyalty to the gentle
man he had been commissioned 10
support. and SO kept his self respect
and the respect of every citizen of the
United States
Coming down to the later, and per
haps, more important part taken by
Major Mckinley in political affairs,
the SIM says, che has just been elect
ed governor of the state of Ohio, the
prolific mother of Republican presi
dental candidates, after an issue
made directly against him as the rep
resentative of the present tariff policy
fastened upon the country through
the ambitious folly of Grover Cleve
land" This success, the Sun thinks,
points to him as inevitably caudi-
date of the first rank before the Re
publican National convention in 1892.
''Yet as IL loyal partisan he must face
the by no means trifing possibility Of
being called upon to stop short of the
highest honors and be nominated for
vice president on Il ticket headed by
the Hon. James G.. Blaine. It was
Blaine who iii no unfriendly spirit |
gave the slant to the new tariff bill
which conferred upon the protective
system the offesive and defensive
powers that make it to day reflect so
amply the traditional and expectant |
sentiment of the American people.
Blaine and Mckinley would be a
Republican combination of extraordi-
nary power and quality"
Without conceding that the Sun
is correct in its forecast of the Re
publican ticket in 81, it may be peril
nent to inquire where the Sun will be
in the event the possibility becomes a
reality, and that Coordination of
power aud quality is confronted on
the democratic side by Grover Cleve
land and Governor Boies? In such q
campaign, with tariff for an issue,
will the Sun remain true to its prin-
ciples or to its parisanship? Ambig.
uous us the question may appear, it is
fully warranted by the Suns policies
in the past The Sun is q democratic
paper. but it is Of the Randall type.
It believes in protection to American
labor. It abhors the free trade theo
ries of Grover Cleveland and lays up
on his shoulders the responsibility Of
the defeat Of the democratic party in
IS. That il why We AJAX, win the Sun
be true to its principles Or to its par
tisanships VIII it support men who
its principles or men Who
the direct reverses
One thing is certain, no Democrat
can carry the state of New York
against the opposition Of the Sun.
It il by all odds the most influential
Democratic paper in the state. because
