nectiOn with \. x V. Meyer the firm
whose failure so seriously affected the
Union Bank. he would not have designated
him TO take charge. The assignment

temporary. because Mr.. Johnson was al
ready in change OF the affairs of the
American Bank. and that was enough 10

In the Granite State.

New Hampshire Republicans are nothing
if not original. Not content with naming
Thomas B. Reed as their first choice fol
president, their state convention in Con.
cord Tuesday went step further and indi
Gated cxGov. Mckinley as the second
choice. This unusual and unexpected aci
tion was, in all probability, intended in :
measure as an answer to the unfair criti-
cisms which have been passed upon the
campaign methods of Gov. Mckinley and
his friends
But the tenor Of the speeches of the con
vention, the expressed preferences of the
delegates-at-large, and, indeed, the manner
OF wording Of the platform, leave no roon,
for doubt as to who stands nearest to the
hearts of the Republicans of the Granite
State-that, to quote Senator Chandler

party may come back into power in the

''Our selt-restraint was cowardly.
1t was the opinion of coed Judges, and

the name of Reed, and later the name OF

Reed two or three to one. | have acqui-
esced in such an act Of cowardice once
before, when we allowed to pass resolu-
ton of the New Hampshire convention in
1877 that Hayes's administration was good
and pure, rather than have a bitter contro-
versy over the question whether its conduct
had been dishonorable in surrendering tc
democratic usurpers the lawful govern
ments of Louisiana and South Carolina
whose title was as good as that of Mr.
Hayes.
So the mongrel resolution to-day might
have been easily defeated if men had moi
cried peace, when honest, manly warfare
was required. But the delegates are all
for Reed, and | do not think Hanna car

The New Hampshire WobbIe.

The outcome of the New Hampshire re-
publican convention will be dsappoint-
ment to the friends of Speaker Reed and
an object of ridicule to both factions on the
money question. The state was supposed
to be for Reed. Chandler has been talking
up the Maine man for year and presum-
ably he had been voicing in some measure
the sentiment of the party he is reputed to
lead. But the platform at this point wob-
bles tearfully. 1t recognizes as most con-
spicuous among the candidates New
England's noble and illustrious son,
Thomas B. Reed" etc., and also ''that
pure and able statesman and champion of
protection, William Mckinley" etc. And
then it proceeds to give the New Hamp-
shire electoral vote to any good nominee,
but declares the preference of the state for
one of the two named, ''because either is
in himself platform"
Asa literary performance this platform
is the worst yet, and the candidate planks
look as if they had been sawed out in a
rough-and tumble committee fight. The
indications are that the Reed men found
the convention pretty equally divided be-
tween the speaker and Mckinley, where a
predominant Reed sentiment had been ex-
pected, and were forced to share the honors
with the other crowd. Or has Chandler
been overcome by the possibility of place
on the ticket for himself in case a western
man is named for first place. springfield

Like q BOmbshell.

If a bombshell had struck the Capitol
Tuesday it could not have made more of a
sensation than did the report from Concord
that the New Hampshire convention had
passed a resolution endorsing both Reed
and Mckinley.
The news came first in the form of a
mere bulletin, which was promptly dis
credited by Senator Hale and others.
When the text of the declaration followed
half an hour later there was still a linger-
ing hope in the minds of the Reed men
that it was simply something which had
been introduced and not adopted.
When finally the report that the plank
was the concluding one Of the platform, all
vestige of consolation was gone. Their
the Reed forces became panic-stricken.
The fact that New England was no longer
solid for the New England candidate filed
their hearts with dismay while the McKin-
ley forces were jubilant, Washington

clusion that Reed delegation to St. Louis

the Mckinley feeling would have been Sc

angered the Mckinley men and brought
