HE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
'Rah for Mckinley.
1t will be an ovation.
The people have named the winner.
st. Louis will hold ratification meeting.
1t will be a campaign of work and wages.
Mckinley and the masses" is the battle
cry.
This week has done the biggest work of
next week.
Everybody welcomes the advance agent
of prosperity.
The people can hardly wait for next
week to do their shouting.
All the leaders are in the band-wagon
and the air is full of music.
The only race now is for the Vice-Presi-
dency, but that is lively one.
-s
Democrats who have been looking for
boI+s will find tbam st Chicapo
Now is the time to organize and get
ready ior a marching campaign.
All is over but the shouting. and that
won't end until after election day.V
And as for Marcus Aurelius Hanna,
there is nothing the matter with him.
The cause of the champion of protection
IS the cause of every American working
man.
There needn't be any doubt that the
platform will be broad enough for every
body.
1t is evident the cyclone spirit is still
abroad in st. Louis and there is no STOP
ping it.
Russell of Massachusetts, has gone fish
ing and Chicago has nc longer any charms
for him.
The only popular movement possible at
Chicago would be a motion to make it
unanimous.
Those who thought of going to St. Louis
to oppose Mckinley have a good opportu-
nifty to save carfare
There may be many slip 'twixt the
cup and the lip, but they don't happen
when the grip is firm.
Now let the people combine, organize
and get ready to make an aggressive cam
paign from the start.
The Mckinley ratification rallies and
parades will help to illuminate the City
when the lights go out.
Now that the country no longer cares to
hear from him, Cleveland has loosened his
lower jaw and begun to talk too much.
General Backus was right. 1t will be
double-ender- Bill Mckinley and Nc
KinIey bill-with vim and vigor at each
end.
The soldier candidate who fought for
the Union can be relied on to guard the
welfare of the Nation and the prosperity
of the people.
1t is conceded Mckinley will win, but
all the other favorites will stay in the ring
80 as to be with him and join the shouts
that hail his triumph.
The St. Louis convention will ratify the
will of the people, and after that the people
will return the compliment by ratifyIng
the work at st. Louis
Those who talk of the great West break
ing away from the party of protection do
not know the West and are ignorant alike
of the needs and of the aspirations of its
people.
Between the gold wing and the silver
wing of the Republican party tLere will
be only generous rivalry to see which
can do most for patriotism, protection and
prosperity.
The popular uprising for Mckinley
shows that in the minds of the people
protection is the chief issue, and it is for
that they will work in the campaign and
vote on election day.
All Republicans will support the st.
Louis ticket, and so will a good many men
who call themselves Democrats or Popu-
lists. Work and wages are not matters OF
partisanship. They are necessary to the
home of every workingman.
Never before in our history have the
people displayed so much enthusiasm for
a candidate and a cause as is now manifest
for Mckinley and protection. Every citi-
zen seems to recognize the time has come
to put an end to free-trade agitators,
establish our industries on a firm basis
and get rid of Clevelan6ism forever.
The swift triumph of Mckinley casts no
shadow over the other great leaders who
were his competitors for the nomination.
Allison, Cullom, Morton, Reed and the
others still hold the honors of the party
and live in the light of Republican loyalty
