The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1896-03-21

Will be a surprise 10 the readers OF the As
ISOLATED Press and show that II did not
poll and report the election Of delegates
fairly.
My Idea OF the Associated Press is that
IL should give the news in It's exact form,
withou; partisanshlp or Partially. This is
what Is required in common fairness: and
especially IN an association that furnishes
the news FOR all parties apd factions OF all
parties alike.
Mckinley. as / said. will have not more
than one-third of the Southern delegates.
He viii have no votes from New England:
that section is conceded to be solid for
Reed. Morton will have New York solid.
Pennsylvania Will be. aside from possibly
;wo or three. solidly against Mckinley. and
for quay. Illinois viii be practically solid
for Mississippi valley candidate. Cullom
or Allison.
Mckinley a Good Mon.
There is no ground for the assertion of
the Mckinley papers. and no ground for
hope on the part of the Mckinley people.
for their candidate to have more than 800
votes on the nrst ballot. Mckinley Is
good man and a great one. but the assump-
ton that he is all there is OF protection. and
the attempt Of his managers TO ride down
every other Republican leader as being
unworthy as TO protection is absurd. All
helped to make two tariff bills before Nc
kiney ever appeared there. II is the Re
publican party itself that is the champon
OF protection. and If Mckinley had not
been IN the congress that enacted the tariff
act Of iSo. or II he had been there and OPP
posed II. the act would have been lust as
strong for tariff and as faithful to all the
interests OF the republic. There is no doubt
as TO what the Republican party will do for
protection.
mo man could possibly be nominated
for presideu; by the Republicans VINO was
not strongly for "A protective tariff. Every
prosectionist will vote for the Republican
candidate whoever he is. The strong man
as a candidate. the one who viii give the
largest insurance of success TO the party
will be the one who is strong and wei
equipped on all the other great issues as
well as The tariff. and who at the polls will
draw enough votes from low-tarin Demo-
Gratis and from the conservative men on
the public credit and the currency In the
Democratic party to make sure Of carrying
the doubtful states.
Popular Party dos Fall
That is the questionable question of
party success, II IS not a question Of the
enthusiasm of strong Republican states
