National Issues.

The Republican State CJnven-
ton and the republican press of
Maryland have criticised the demo-
cratic platform for dealing so large
ly with national issues.
And yet in the campaigns now
going on in Ohio and Iowa we hear
OF nothing but the tariff.
In Pennsylvania, on the contrary,
the tariff and nstional questions are
not mentioned aud in New York we
hear less OF the tariff than We do OF
Me Too Plat.
The reason is obvious. In the
two Western States there are no
State issues or questions which can
take rank with the great national
issue even in local imp ortance.
Indeed the placing of the imper
sonation of the Mckinley bill before
the people of Ohio at once made the
campaign national in it's character.
The Mckinley bill has already
come before the people aud we know
the verdict.
With that verdict the republicans
are not content to rest. They say
the poor simple people were de-
ceived.
So Mr.. Mckinley is put up before
his own people upon national is
sue.
Under such circumstan les the
people of Ohio have never failed to
be overwhelmingly republican. If
they defeat Mr.. McKinleY this Fall
that will end the Mckinley tariff
and hence the national character
and national Importance of the
contest.
Iowa is State which has been as
declavely republican az Vermont, as
decisively republican as Texas or
Georgia have been democratic, and
suddenly, without note of warn
ing it elected democratic Cover
nor because the people were tired of
the republican party and its tariff
policy. Naturally question which
caused so great a revolution still oc
cupies the minds of the people and
Gov. Boies is explaining to them
how the tariff has affected their
business.
In the local Importance of Quay
ism in Pennsylvania and Plattism
in New York, the people, in their
efforts to relieve themselves of the
unclean Boss rule have, for the
time. last sight of all other ques-
tiOns.
No one would seriously suppose
that the election of the republican
machine here would right any
wrongs and so any discussion of
them in that connection is idle
