New York Mail and Express: The

names OF Allison and Mckinley VIII be
hailed as those Of two typical opponents
OF genuine Americanlsm, as well as that
broad statesmanshlp and ardent pa

is the entire absence of discord, bicker-
ings, jealousies and acrimonious accu-
satIons and antagonisms. so extensively
characteristic OF Democratic competi-
tors for office, high or low. There is no
such thing as friendly rivalry within
Democratic party lines when power and
position are at stake. On the other
hand, the Republican hosts throughout
the nation realize that any one OF the
candidates now In the field will be equal
to the emergency, and bring TO the high
office to be filled such qualities and quail
Ifications as will guarantee safety and
prosperity to the nation, and dignity,
honor and distinction to his party. The

Concerning .slrnddI,..n


Even SO serious campaign as the one
on which we are entering has It's humor-
Gus side. The humorous side of the
campaign Just at present hereabouts is
the effort of the Democratic organ to
pull the wool over the eyes OF its readers
regarding national questions.
A case In point was furnished by yes
terday's Register in Its report OF the
Ohio Republican convention. Follow
ing is so much OF the heading over the
Registers report of that convention as
referred to the platform adopted:
An Awkward StraddleTA Rem9IkannLe
iicans-An Effort to Jugyle Words SO as
10 Meet An Views hut Pledge Nothing TO
Any-For Gold. Silver, Paper, Etc, on
Any Basis the Reader May Choose.
The Register contained no editorial
comment. but its readers may confi-'
IDENTIFY look for something in the line OF
the above before Ions. Following is the
Ohio Republican plank which the head
ing describes as a remarkable straddle:
We contend for honest money; for q
currency OF gold, silver ana Pare. VIII VIII
be ns sound as the government ana as
iintarnlshed as itA honor. and 10 that end
we favor bi-metallism and demand the
use OF both gold and silver aS s "a .,,a

restrictions and such provisions 10 De

the maintenance OF tho PARTIES OF value
Of the two metals, so that the purchasing
and dGbt-paying power OF the DOLLAR
whether OF silver, gold or paper, SHAH he
at all times equal.
II this is an awkward" and remark
able straddle. perhaps the Register will
enliehten its readers as to It's opinion OF
the following financial plank:
We hold to the use OF both gold and
silver a. the standard money Of the coun.
try and 10 the coinage OF both gold nnd
silver without discriminating against
either metal or charge for mintnBe. but
the dollar unit OF coinage OF both metals
must be OF equal intrinsic ard exchange

national agreement or By such safeguards
on legislation rs shall insure the fnainte-
nance on tho parity Of the two metals,
and the equal power OF every dollar At all
times In the markets and In the payment
of debts: and We demand that all paper
currency shall be kept Rt par with and
rcdeemSble in such coin, We insist upon
This policy as especially necessary for the
protection OF the farmers and luboring
classes, the FIRST and most detenseleas VIC
tins OF unstable money and n huctuating
currency.
A careful reading of both pianks will
show that they call for practically the
same thing. They differ only In word
ing. The last one quoted is the national
Democratic plank OF 1892. on which Mr.
Cleveland was elected President. and on
which the Democratic administration
claims to stand. The Republican plank
the same year did not materially differ
from It.
II the Ohio plank Of this year is a
straddle. then the Democratic plank OF
1892 was a strnddle, It viii puzzle the
Register to ind Iout wherein they
differ.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1896-03-13

A French newspaper, discussing the
Cuban AFFAIR. speaks of the "exagger-
ated professions OF the United States.
There are no such pretensions. There
are exaggerated notions Of our position.
where we stand and what we have in
contemplation.
In Europe 1t seems to be thought that
for us to recognize the belligerency of
the cubans and to take position OF
neutrality as between them and the
spanlards would be to do something of
which all Europe would have a right to
complain as some sort OF interference
with European rights.
A neutral state interferes with no.
body's rights and as between belllger-
ents treats both alike. In this position
there would be nothing that by any
stretch Of imagination could be called
exaggerated pretensIons."
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1896-03-13

The Pittsburgh Post says that Demo-
carts prefer Mckinley. This certainly
Is true OF most of the Democrats who
helped in 1894 to give the Democratic
party a sound drubbIng.
II the Post means that the Democratic
politicians prefer Mckinley, thinking
that he can be defeated, we shall be
obliged to say that politician who
thinks he thinks this hasn't brains
enough to think at all. There is not a
Republican named in connection with
the Republican presidential nomination
who would be in any danger OF defeat
before the people.
The country has turned Its back on
the Democratic party. its policies and
It's men, and will have nothing to do
with anything or anybody bearing the
Democratic brand.

gave the Democrats the legislature
which returned Morgan to the senate.
The revelation IL not new. but Il comes
in new form. 1t will at least do no
harm to make the investigation.
II the Democratic legislature repre-
scented the will of the people ascertained
according to law, Morgan is entitled to
the seat In the United States senate. II
the Kolb legislature was the lawfully
elected one. W. $. Reese is entitled to
the seat in the senate now held by Nor
