without seriously embarrassing himself
and his family. How mawkish, child
ish, babyish, absurd, and contemplate
to create capital against an honest man
because somebody has perchance offer
ed to aid his friends in the prosecution
of a great national canvass. 1t may be
that the contribution of money TO a
presidential campaign is q deleterious
development in this country, but the de-
velopment of insincerity and contempti-
BILE hypocrisy and miserable Pharisee-
ism is development far worse for the
future of American politics than the
other.
Now, again, this thing Of the .inva-
sion of other peoples states. This IS a
new development in American politics
1t has not been a settled law of party
organization hitherto that any man
owed any state in the matter of the
nomination for president. All the Re
publicans of all the United States have
right to be heard in the matter of this
nomination, and no man has the right
, to put up a board on tree and say.
No hunting or fishing allowed on these
grounds, and there IS nothing whatever
in the proposition, save and except only
the question Of good policy. 1t would
be bad policy for Mr.. Mckinley TO go to
Maine to try to get votes. 1t would be
bad policy for Mr.. Morton to goto Ohio.
And this is all there is to this preserve
business.
But if the people of Ohio or any OF
it's congressional districts see fit to sup
port Mr.. Reed, they have just as good
a right 10 do ii in the district Of Athens,
Ohio, as they have in the district OF
Portland, Me, and all this mawkish.
puerile stuff hid better be eliminated IN
-
subject.
These gentlemen are candidates for
the purpose of being nominated. and II
their friends commit unwise acts. IL
harms the person in whose interest the
acts are committed, and the friends OF
other candidates have no reason to
complain and cry out and protest.
Another thing. The city of New
York IS a great commercial emporium,
and one citizen Of Ohio within my
knowledge transacts more than a mill
ion dollars worth Of business annually
in that city. Yet, recently, half a dozen
newspapers in New York shouted that
there was a feeling Of intense fndigna-
ton that that gentleman was going TO
New York. L would seem as though
the business men OF the United States
OF America, who have important bust
ness in the city OF New York at this
period OF the year, and are. notwith-
standing. supporters Of Mckinley or Al
hson or Davis. ought to be permitted 20
go 20 that city and transact their bust
ness without being denounced in the
newspapers.
The late secretary of the navy states
that il IS now pertinent 70 inquire into
Mr.. McKinley's personal financial af
fairs. II Is a novel proposition. II ia
rather new in a political campaign that
the promoters Of one mans candidacy
shall be permitted TO file interrogstories
and attach them 70 their bill Of com-
plant and demand answers IN the court
Of politics. L that Is TO be the law 0f
politics, possibly Il might bs extended
and interroEa1oriss might be attached
10 demands upon leading promoters of
certain candidates. and We would our
