Mckinley and the Platform.

We don't believe that those anti-McKin-
ley managers" who profess to be worry
ing themselves out of sleep over McKin-
ley's financial opinions really think that
they see anything more than moonshine.
They do not suspect that there will be any
variance between the money views of Nc
Klnley and the money views of the Repub-
lican platform. They do not, because they
know that a candidate runs on the plat
form OF his party. They know that, after
a National convention has submitted and
adopted declaration Of principles, the
candidate writes a letter of acceptance in
which he sets forth that he goes before the
voters on those principles.
Nobody knows this better than the
managers and the leaders," for they
have all had experience with conventions,
and platforms. Whatever is the will Of
the people expressed in convention will be
the duty of the candidate. There never
has been any question about that since
platforms were builded and candidates
were placed upon them. There will be nc
change this year, no change four years
from now, no change four years after that
The delegates who make the platform
will name the candidate. The men who
nominate Mckinley will put in place the
tariff and currency planks. And, whel
the whole work is done, the candidate will
announce his letter of acceptance.-Nev

A Very Peculiar Situation.

Among the many queer things observed
by the publisher of this paper thus far in
this most remarkable and peculiar political
campaign is one that stands out as particu-
larly conspicuous and remarkable. Stated
as briefly as possible, the point is this:
The gentlemen elected to represent the
Republicans of Vermont at St. Louis were
to all intents and purposes selected six
months ago by the usual consensus Of
public opinion" They were selected be-
cause of their prominence and especial fit
ness and because they were supposed to be
solid, enthusiastic and answering for Reed.
The convention was practically unani-
nous for Mckinley and these same gentle
men eagerly accepted of an election to
support him.s How is this? Had they NO
real choice all this time? Had they nc
mind of their own? Had they no sort Of
regard for whom they voted, so long as
they secured an election? If the conven-
ton instructed for Reed would Senator
Proctor-who now declares that he was for
Mckinley all the time-have gone to the
convention and kept his constituents in ig-
norance of his preference? The writer is
considerably perplexed over this condition
of things, and frankly admits it.-Harris
Weekly.
