back a robust, hearty, vigorous
thing, capable of buffeting it's fell
lows with all the fearless disregard
of consequences of a football team.
Thomasville gains an additional dis
tinction, and into the Golfers of her
hostelries will pour quadrennial
profits.
Recently repaired thither Gov.
William Mckinley, who last year ex-
hibited his boom in a grand prom
enade of the states of the North;
and there, too, simultaneously, went
Kohlsaat, he of the Chicago bak-
cries, ambitious to extend his voca-
ton to the executive pie counter;
he who, a generous world recalls,
sprang to the aid of the distressed
administrator of the affairs of the
business world when he, in his de-
votion to the regulation of the af-
fairs of others. had so neglected his
own as to invite bankruptcy. And.
strangest of all, there, too, went
the venerable tariff prestidigitator
of the Chicago Tribune, whom the
Inter Ocean, in its SpaSmS of ultra
protection, contemptuouSly names
jomedill ostensibly to relieve his
kidneys from the ossifying effects
of Chicago's we'll lined waters.
Each ear on each and every head
of every politician and of every OBJ
server of politicians and of the COM
mentators on politicians in the coun-
try became rigid in a forward in
clination as this meeting of the
hostiles was flashed over the wires.
They recalled the impassioned APP
peals of Mckinley for restoration
of his dethroned idol; the fierce re-
iteration of the cry by Kohlsaat's
organ. and the bitter denunciations
hurled back at them by the Tribune.
They recalled how, after the cleo
lions of last year had restored con-
gress to the Republicans, a bitter
war waged between the Restora-
tionists, led by the Inter Ocean, and
the Reactionists, led by the white
haired Medill
They recalled how the Tribune as
serted that, if the party goes ''trot-
ting around with the Mckinley chip
on it's shoulder daring the Demo-
Gratis to knock it off, it would get
knocked into the middle of month
after next. eff it fall into the hands
of the prohibitory protection zealots,
and of politicians whose brains are
even smaller than the small Offices
they long for, only Democratic blum
ders can save the Republicans" So,
seeing all this and remembering all
that, the wonder grew as to what
the ThomaSville gathering meant
What portent Of good or i'll did it
bear? Allison, Iowa's favorite son,
wore his blandest smile to cover his
anxiety, and Tom Reed studied the
creases in his Kentucky tow pants
with extra interest, while innumera-
bic dark horses perked their ears
and waited for the oracle to speak,
and "all the world wondered
And it has spoken through the
mouth of that veracious chronicler,
Curtis, of the Record, who, by the
merest coincidence, of course, hap
pened to be there. Through him
Medill informs the world that Nc
Kinleyism was not Mckinley. That
the former was the product of Penn
sylvania. Mac couldn't do as he
would, but was swept away by a
torrent of protectionism, tapped at
Pittsburg and gathering head from
everywhere, finally converged on
congress. Mckinley was carried
away by a clamor and combination
that began in Pittsburg, and swept
everything before them like a flood"
Mr.. Mckinley must be perfectly
frank with the business interests.
He must swear that such another
flood will not sweep him off his
feet. He must tell them exactly
what policy he will advocate" And
thus we get at the true inwardness
of the affair. Mckinley will disa-
vow McKinleyism; he will tell the
business world just how he will reg
ulate their business for them, and
Medill will swing the Tribune to the
support of the latest Ohio man, and
sweet peace and beautiful harmony
will again dwell with the brethren.
