Chicago Record: Geographically the re-
publican ticket Is fairly we'll constituted.
Mckinley comes from a central western
state. His running mate, therefore, should
naturally come from the east or the south.
5oth sections could not be gratihed, and
the eastern candidate was the favored one
The private lives OF the candidates
are not subject to criticism, Happily, there
fore, the campaign so far as the republican
standaTd-bcarers are concerned will be
fought on the issues now before the people
for settlement
indianapolis Journal: The Journal will
not challenge the credulity of its readers
by asserting that MIR. Mckinley was it's
first choice. but he was the choice of an
overwhelming majority of the republican
party, and deserves and should receive the
hearty support not only of all republicans,
but of all who belive in protecting Amer
lean industries against foreign invasion and
of maintaining the financial integrity of

fest Will of the party the convention has
also pledged the party's candidate and the
party itself to line of action which should
command the unqualified approval of every
true American.
Chicago Post: It was the situation and
the will of the people that nominated Will
liam Mckinley, and we are happy in the
confidence that he is worthy of the great
honor they have conferred on him. The
condition of business in the United States
for the last three years has given the peo-
pie cause and opportunity to reflect Oh the
relation of free imports to American in
dustries and of questioned credit to the
free investment of foreign capital in the
development of domestic wealth The more
they have reflected the more they have rec
ognized the blunder that was made in com
mitting the country to a tariff policy that
glutted the factories of Europe and banked
the fires of American mills.
st. Paul Pioneer-Press: The republican
party has done grander things for the
American people than all the parties that
have gone before it, but it has seldom be-
fore stood on a higher pinnacle of
achievement than when, sitting the
voice of faction in its councils it rose
to the supreme duty of proclaiming honest
money as a fundamental law of the repub-
lie in terms that could not be misunder-
stood. 1t fulfilled public expectation and
the demands of the American people when
1t nominated William Mckinley for the
chief magistracy of the nation on a plat
form which voiced it's reason in it's con
science and which is a distinct embodiment
of all that is worthiest in the patriotic
aspirations Of the American people
