"JvrTprRTrNCCD REPTBITCiNS."

If II be true as reported by our esteemed
contemporary. The Ncwiork Sun ana iAr
be- il from Is 10 cast doubt on anything thAi
apncars IN The sun" -tha, senator quay on
his recent celebrated vlsi; 10 Canton Informed
Mr. Mckinley that There were "A number oi
"inexpcrenced Republicans in N"w-lorh stat"
"who were misleading Mr.. liHnna concerning
'the strength oi Thomas {. Flatt, ana az
th. same time warned the coming President
against believing that tho regular organlza-
.tlon OF the State OF New York could be tnkcn
from Mr. Plat" We have no hesitation In say
Ing TIM. Nr QUAY rendered Mckinley and
Hanna and the Republican party and the cobn
try at large "A great and useful service. For
now that the time has passed when the calnm-
ity Of McKnlcy's nomination might have been
avcrtcd by n wellorgnnizcd and carefully con.
Quoted financial panic now that the cnlami'ors
event seems ccrian-thc only mitigation for II
that dawns anywhere on the horizon Il In The
possibility. or rather probability. that MEEK
lev will profit by the warning of senator Quay.
and Will not permit his Administration To be
run by "inexperlcnccd Republicans" ana cspc
cially by INEXPERIENCED Rcpublcans' who Ia.
Dor under the dclusion that ia" regular organ
lzation In this State can be taken from Mr..
Plat.
As matter Of fact. tho cnamious character
Of the Mex inlcy nomination has always con
sisted In the widespread and universal nppre
henslon that when elected he would be con
irolled and guided 10y "incI pcrienced ltepub
lcans" who imagined that the rcgula: organ
"ization Of the State OF New York could b'
taken from Mr. Plait" The notion that Me
Kincy Immediately upon his election would
enact n prohibiiory tariff which would put up
the prices of everything beyond the reach Of
common people. and AT the same time would
ncreasc the distress by issuing an cdict com
mandng every body TO accept nifty Snts as II
dollar under heavy penalties was not Of long
continuance; though doubtless many n"rv"ns
persons who rcnd our Democratic ana Mug
Wump cOntenporarics got into worry over II
But now that II appears 10 bc generally under
stood ihnt Mr. McIiinlcys views o9 the inriif
and currency do not differ from those Of Gov
ernor Morton, who was and Is Mr.. Platts first
| choice and only alternative the pubic mind s
beginning to absorb fact o. much greater i'm
| pOrtance which Is that Mckinley. whatever
| NAV be his views the tariff and finance, may
| be controlled by inexperienced Republicans" in
| his Administration II Is this which now nc-
| centuates the difference between himself and
| Governor Morton The calamity OF having a
| President controlled by inexperienced Rcpub
| leans would be averied by the election of
| Governor Morton. who for two years has fur
nished the best illustration Of an Admini-,rn-
| tlon controlled by experienced Republicans
| that WAS ever put On view.
| 1t was great public service. we repeat. On
| the part Of Senator Quay TO point out 10 Mr..
| Mckinley the danger Of trusting inexperienced
| Republicans" 1t no doubt set Mr.. Mckinley
| TO thinking; and perhaps TO remembering. And
| he may have remembered that President Hayes
| was Influenced by inexperienced Republicans"
when he refused to appoint Mr.. Plat Post
| master General: that President Garfield was
controlled by inexperienced Republicans when
| he took the step in connection with the Federal
| offices in this state which drove Mr. Patt to
| resign United States SenaOrship; that Pres
ident Harrison. under the advice of "lneXperi-
! enced Republicans" declined TO appoint Mr..
| Platt Secretary Of the Treasury, and that the
] only statesman in high Office who has ever
| given himself up entirely to the experienced
| statesmen who agree with Mr. Quay as TO the
necessity for recognizing Mr.. Platt as "thc reg
ular organization IA Governor Morton And
| then he may have reflected upon the results
| which have followed the Governors uncon-
| ccalcd contempt for inexperienced Rcpub-
leans and his submission to the experienced
| Mr. Plat. Possibly too, it may have occurred
| to him that his prominence as n candidate and
the now assured certainty OF his nomination and
election. were due 10 the ''ncxperienccd Re
publicans.' not only OF this State. but OF rhc
whole country. who had taken into their heads
the notion that they. as well as the experienced
Republicans had something to say about who
should he President of the United States Yes:
| II was wise and timely for Mr.. Quay to call
Mr.. Mckinley's attention TO the danger to be
apprehended from trusting inexperienced Re
publicans." And II he Is convinced that his
nomination and election will be such n cala.-
ity as Mr. Platt and the experienced Repub-
licnns have insisted 1t would be, he will. no
! doubt. endeavor to mitigate It somewhat BY
