POLITICAL NOTES.

Try as we may we positively cannot
detect the smallest significance in Mr.
SewalPs conversion to Republicanism.
He is enacting in Maine the part that
Hon. j. Hampton Hoge is enacting in
Virginia, and that is all there is in the
incident. 1t is not through the medium
of such small commonplace as these
that great popular transformations seek
washington Post.
1t has been attempted in these cases
to make mountains out of mole hills.
Governor Mckinley labors under the
better pleased if Congress had not done
any part of theqwork it was elected
to do.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch Oem).
And those who advocate a return to
McKlnleyism labor under the delusion
that the people do not know their own
minds.
Governor Mckinley says "the majority
must rule" Just SO. Which was the
reason why his little bill could not
stand.-N. Y. Morning Journal.
An overwhelming majority of the peo-
pie decided In 1892 that Bill McKinley's
bill must go.
This is fitting time to renew the eau
ton to Republicans against cherishing
the notion that because this is clearly a
Republican year it is safe to make any
kind of nomination to Congress. AS
regards the quality of nomina ton, it Is
easier for a party to be demoralized by
imminent success than by impending de-
feat. 1t is incumbent upon Republicans
in every district to select their strongest
men as candidates.-BoSton Journal
Rep.).
This is equivalent to telling the Repub-
licans not to yell till they get out of the
woods. The advice is timely and good.
Right on the heels of the announcement
that the Louisiana sugar planters are
joining the Republican party, comes the
news that the PopuIist adjudent general
of Kansas, crank named Artz, who led
a commonweal army to Washington,
has come out for the party which whoops
it up for the old flag and an appropri-
ation.'' We trust that no one will be-
grudge the g. o. p. the joy which it de-
rives from these new acquisitions. 1t is
gars. McKlnleyism, bountyism and COM
monwealism are all synonymous terms
Lansing, Mich, Journal Oem.).
Men desiring bounties and government
pap of all kinds should knock at the
door of the Republican party, not at the
door of the Democratic party
Finally that fixity IN the relative
values of gold and silver can be brought
agreement and legislation is proved by
the fact that for 70 years, from 1903 to
1873, such fiXity did prevail Bimetallic
mintage at the rate of 1872 to existed
in France during all that period What
has been done can be done again.-At-
Gibson Grobe.
Straight out free silver men in the
West believe it can be done by the United
States.
Secretary Carlisle has declared that he
can not and will not pay the bounties
already earned by the Louisiana sugar
planters. In other words he proposes to
| maintain at all hazards the reputation OF
the Democratic party as a party OF re-
pudiation.-N. Y. Commercial Advertiser
| (Rep).
The Democratic party backed up by the
people has repudiated McKinleyism.
All he could offer-all he did offer at
Bangor-was his word for it that bust
ness and industry would surely go to the
dogs now that McKinleylsm is abolished.
And all the way on his journey from
through cities and towns in which fac
tories, closed under high tariff -'protec-
tion.' were swinging their doors open
again, furnaces firing up, trade reviving
and cheerful confidence taking the place
of grim depression.
What has caused the revival which
Governor Mckinley must nave seen all
along his route unless he shut his eyes
and stopped his ears? Simply the final
overthrow of McKinleyism and the es-
tablishment of the new tariH.-Boston
Post Dme.).
1t was not TO be expected that Nc
Kinley would recognize what the country
at large recognizes-that the departure of
McKinleyism and the advent of the bust
ness revival were simultaneous.
| And SO 1t came to pass that the sugar
schedule of the Senate BILL in which Mr..
| Quay's vote had preserved the differential
protective duty of Is of a cent pound
for the trust, was defended against Dem
ocratic assault by the Republicans of the
Senate, al a time when they could easily
have cut OFF. the trusts bonus by com
bining for that purpose with a willing
majority of the Democratic senator's
N. Y. Times Oem).
| Had the professions of the Republican
senators about free sugar been sincere
they could have made it free for they
possessed the power. ,s
The truth is that our Republican friends
J have not leg to stand on so far as the
