The record-union., 1896-10-17

mined by the American people is the
selection of a Congress that will carry
cut the principles embodied in the Re-
publican national platform. All legis-
lation originates in Congress, and while
MIR. Mckinley when President may rec
ommend the adoption of measures that
will be Salutary to the country. it re-
mains for Congress to eXemplify these
suggestions into laws which the Presi-
dent may enforce. With a contrary
Congress the Presidents hands would
he tied and all the good that is expected
from the election of Mckinley would
be thwarted. From the present indica-
tions it looks as if the next Congress
would be of that nature to be thor
oughly en- rapport with President Nc
kinely and being elected in Novem-
Der will be impressed with the necessity
CT carrying out all the principles in
ccrporated in the st. Louis platform
thoroughly, quickly and with the least
friction. 1t would be only uncertain
victory, if after all their earnestness
and definiteneSS of purpose ana grand
revolt against dangerous partisanship,
the people should fail to elect, with the
President and Vice-President Con-
gress to sustain them. The irresistible
groundswell that resulted in the tre-
mendous majorities of 1894 is an in
dication that the people will not fail
to be responsive to the same causes
tht brought about the political cata-
clysm, and elect Representatives
friendly to the protection of industries
and the maintenance of a sound and
unimpeachable currency. While
the Indication for the House Of Rep
resentatives being in harmony with the
President is more encouraging, the
prospects for the Senate are not at all
discouraging. California will select
Senator a the next session of the Leg
islature, and from the present aspect
Of things the next Legislature will be
on joint ballot Republican, and the
much wished for consummation of the
sending of a Republican United States
Senator will be reached. Every effort
and energy should be put forth in the
election of Assemblymen and State
Senators on the Republican ticket, SO
that there will be no peradventure as
to the success Of a Republican Sena-
tor.
THE HOUR IS NEARING.
Los Angeles Times: Three weeks
from next Tuesday is the appointed day
when this most painful of all political
struggles will be ended. To our notion.
Ii can end in but one way--in the tri-
umph of patriotism over sectional big
otry and intolerance. The Republican
party has a candidate who is pre-em-
inently a nationalman, one whose states
manship knows no North, no South, no
East, and no West, but who is for his
country and her progress first, last and
forever. 1t does seem, at this time, as if
the right should conquer and prejudice
be beaten down. Everything points to
the triumph of common sense and love
of country over the spirit of anarchy
and communism that burst forth at
Chicago in July. Popular rule is still
| supreme, "the Government at Wash
| ipgton still lives" and to the we'll tried
| integrity of the people we can trust the
| issue. They will elect William McKin-
| ley, the man of the people.
A CONGRESS NECESSARY.
| Marysville Democrat: While we are
earnestly working for the election OF
Mckinley and Hobart we must not for
| get that a President is only an execu-
tive officer, and that Congress that
will be in accord with the executive is
necessary, If we expect to accomplish
| the reforms desired. The election of a
Republican Congressman in this dis
| trict and a member of the Assembly
should interest every voter who believes
| in protection. The former will vote fol
| or against an increased tariff as a pro-
| lection to our industries and to raise
necessary money to run the Govern
| ment instead of issuing bonds. If we
| elect a Republican he will vote to in
crease the duty as outlined in the Re-
publican platform, and If a Democrat
| is successful we know that means q
vote to continue under free trade rule
and the issue of more bonds; therefore
work and vote for the Republican nom
/ iEee.
