s.. Louis, formulating spectacle.


The whole country is Inundated in the
eyes of the world by the spectacle af-
forded by the Republican party at St.
Louis. Here is a great party without
courage or principle and braggart about
its dishonor. Here are men, calling them
selves leaders and statesmen, who think
so poorly of American citizens that they
seek suffrages by concealing their opin-
ions and juggling with their convictions.
and they profess enthusiasm for a man
who either has no mind of his own or
else is too great a coward to express
it.
Really. the position of such men as
Teller n Tillman and Altgeld becomes
noble by comparison with the sneaking
shuffling. crawling policy of the men who
are running the St. Louis Hippodrome.
They have, at least, the courage of their
convictions.
The Republican proposition to frame a
platform which shall really mean gold,
but in which gold shall not be mentioned,
for fear of offending the silver States.
is grotesquely dishonest. 1t is fatuous to
the extent of childishness. In one sense,
it is true, the silver men are stark star
ing lunatics; but they are not such
simpletons as to be conciliated by the
mere omission of the word gold from the
platform. On the other hand, the gold
States are not inhabited by fools, and
their voters will have no difficulty in
gauging the sincerity of a platform which
is framed in this way.
There is one thing this ST. Louis ag-
gregation stands for, and only one
capitalistic greed. 1t means a return to
extravagant tariff burdens, in case Nc
Kinley prove victorious. It means para
lyzed commerce., pampered shareholders,
depressed wages, wildcat enterprise
and wholesale lreceiverships. It means a
repetition of the experiences between
1890 and the present day. two years Of
hollow, false, inflated prosperity and
an indefinite period of liquidation, par
alysis and starvation.

vice-President. The boom that has been
conducted in his name has been mere
wind from the outset. What Hobart is
really after is a cabinet position, the
Secretaryship of the Interior or Post
master Generalship, something, in a
word with railroads in it.
The reasons why his nomination as
Vice President is impossible, are as
numerous as they are obvious. Hobart,
from a national standpoint, is an abso-
lutely obscure man. Nobody outside the
State of New Jersey knows him except
a few railroad managers. He would BIZ
a dead weight on the ticket; people would
LAY to be told who he was, n when
told they would be against him as one
of the most vicious and detrimental mon
opolists in the United States.
1t is nonsense to talk of him carrying
New Jersey for the Republican ticket.
He cannot do it. He would be buried
out of sight in this State-drowned IN
Pequannock, rather. But even if he
could carry the State. it would do him
no good. The Republican party either
does not need New Jersey or else it needs
it too badly to derive any benefit from
it. In other words, if Mckinley cannot
be elected without New Jersey, he can
not he elected with it. The G. P. o.
will have to carry the same States thai.
it has always needed to win, and if II
cannot. New Jersey will not help, for
it has not votes enough to offset the
loss of New York on the one hand, or
of the group of silver States. all of
which will probably go The same way,
on the other.
ONE of the comical aspects of the
situation is the opposition OF Congress-
man Thomas McEwan to "Gus" Hobart.
Thomas cannot stand Gus because he
is such a corporation mans and conse-
quently such a grinder Of the dear
people.
Thomas himself is counsel for the
Trinity Corporation in New York, which
maintains the meanest of all the mean
tenement houses in that city. He has
been counsel to that corporation for
years.
It is wonderful how the point of view
