host OF officials ever has gained the support vi
q clear majority of the delegates before Ma
tional Convention assembled? NO man can
make the comparison without being amazed at
the measure of success which has already greet
ed the candidate deemed by the people the nioSI
fitting representative Of the Protective cause.
The surprise grows when one remembers that
any candidate who seems likely TO lead at the
outset invites all shots and all thrusts, ana rare
" lives 10 accept the nomination. In this case
the COMPACT Of managers for all the opposing
candidates was formed early, and included men
srpposed 10 be of matchless skill and power
whose struggle against each other in National
Convention men expected to be a battle OF
giants But the combination of them all has
been powerless. Speaker Reed has the delegates
from his own State and over 100 more. Senator
Allison has his own State and about twenty
more votes. Morton. Quay, Cullom and Bradley
have delegates from their own States aiohe'
Mckinley has Ohio and 900 more.
The ruthless and even indecent attacks upon
his untarnshed reputation have only helped
him. Men all over the land knew well enough,
before the contest began. that the great State or
Ohio. which turned the battle for honest money
in 1919 and which was represented In the Sen
ate by john sherman. WOulu never hd'c cic'tou
by ma ajorities beyond all precedent, or nom
mated unanimously for President, candidate
who had not proved in Congress. in many close
campaigns and in two terms as Governor that
he could be trusted without reserve on monetary
questions as on all others. The support OF more
than twenty of the States which have pro-
nounccd most cmphatcally against silver coin
age and for maintenance of the present gold
standard would end the whole business. except
for men who are bent on running whatever they
cannot rule More than thirty Republican con-
yentons have made declarations for the gold
standard which nobody can misunderstood. and
over two-thirds Of them have elected delegates
for Mckinley.
The open conspiracy Of the party bosses has
helped the candidate more than anything except
his conspicuous part in framing the tariff or
1890. The people have heard great deal of the
methods OF men like Platt in NewIOrk ana
have a remarkably definite and positive opinion
about them. 1t has been all the time tower
of strength for Governor Mckinley that he was
the one and only man whom the most corrupt
and unprincipled trickstcrs in politics refused
to favor even as last resort. Because he was
not their choice he became at once the choice
of a great many voters who felt that even the
cause of Protection could again be defeated, rs
It had been in tie past by machine manage
mcnt which cared nothing for the wishes or the
convictions OF the people.

THE PEOPLE ANSWER.

The frantic attacks Of the Platt-Free Trade
combination are answered by the election Of
more delegates for Mckinley this week than
for all other candidates put together-about
fifty, against twenty for all others-and by the
transfer to him Of about twenty delegates previ-
Ously doubtful or counted for other candidates
from Maryland and other States. Journals
which opposed him most violently now admit
that even If all contested delegates for him were
left out, he would still have clear majority Of
the Convention including the solid delegations
from nineteen States and clear majorties Of
uncontested delegations from eight more, so that
his friends will be able to choose n majority Of
every committee, including that on credentials.
The victory of gold Republicans in Washington
and West Virginia leaves no trace Of doubt that
the Committee on Resolutions will have a large
majority against free coinage or any form OF
compromise on that question. These are the
sufficient answers which Republican Protec-
tionists throughout the country making
to the beaten and frenzied bosses who are open
~ working with Free Traders in New-York and
with free-silver men at the Far West and at the
South, to defeat the choice Of the people.

new candidate, not already President deemed
worthy Of denomination and favored BY great

SENATOR WOLCOTT.

Senator WOlcott has no reason 10 regret y"
far os no himself Is concerned the action or MS
marty In Colorado. which through its represent
otjves at the Pueblo Convention has relnqusheh
the advantage and distinction OF sending him 10
ST. Louis as a delegatc-at-large. There IS soihe
uncertainty as TO the course which the Colorado
delegation will pursue under the direction OF
Senator Teller by whose Judgment it Is instruct
ad 70 abide and as to wnere it will stand In the
estimation of loyal Republicans and the vast
majority of intelligent people when the WORK oi
the Convention has been completed. But WHAT
ever happens to the Colorado delegates, the 1ore-
most citizen of Colorado Is in no danger OF losing
tbe respect of the country. He has made 1t clear
to everybody that he means to take care oi HIS
own honor and Is entirely able to do so. For
the present he stays in the Republican party
and If he shall make mp his mind at any time
hereafter TO leave Il he will go out with clean
rocord He can afford not to be a delegate 10
the St Louis Convention. but he could not nave
afforded to be Ehere nominally as a Republican,
under instructions to drop the mask al the Diu-
ding OF another.
Senator Wolcott serves his party In Colorado
and everywhere else by declining to sink to
lower standard of fidelity and patriotism than
his own. and multitude OF his feliowcitiHehs
rejoice 10 believe that in so doing he is likewise
unselfishly serving himself. We congratulate
him upon his fearless acceptance OF an unusua
oDDortunity. and we also congratulate the Re
publican Convention of his State upon Its prt-
dence in resisting the temptation to decorate
him with It's ccnsure.

was different, however. when 1t came to study

on grounds of Justice. but on distinctly par
tisan basis. Democrats and POpulists combining

fairly entitled as any member OF the Senate Is

fight for. The vote against Colonel Dupont was
81 to 80, the majority being made up OF twenty
six Democrats and five Populists. No attempt
was made to postpone action until the short ses-
sion of Congress. as it was seen that such an
attempt would be useless against the comDna-

Little significance attaches to the affirmative
action taken by the Democratic State Committee
at its meeting yesterday. The fact that it de-
cded 10 hold the State Convention at Saratoga

is noteworthy, however. that an urgent appeal
WAS made to the committee that 1t should de-

money. and that on this subject the committee
