The UommotIon I'm Delaware.

From the Philadelphia Press.
According to dispatches In one Of our
Democratic contemporaries there Is the
most tremendous commotion In the Re
publican politics of the State of Della
ware The owner Of the delegation from
that state to the national convention has
been looking around for some excuse to
vote the delegation against Mckinley,
and he has found It. Like everyb body
else who is opposed to McKlnley's nomi
nation he demands that Mckinley shall
speak out on the money question II he
expects to get the Delaware delegation
We have no doubt whatever that there
are some phases OF the money question
In politics about which there is an IRE
concilable difference between Governor
Mckinley and the Hon Gas Addicks.
When 1t comes to primary elections,
DomiEations, the election of delegates,
and such matters of more or less conse-
quence in politics, there Is BOT the least
obscurity about the money views of the
distinguished Delaware leader Nor did
1t occur to him to raise any question
about Governor McKinley's views until
after the delegates were elected. The
same Democratic contemporary which
Is now telling US of the great financial
disturbance in the Addicks mind gave
tho information that at the primaries
the tickets Of both factions were headed
by the name Of Mckinley and the vote
showed his complete Endorsement by the
Republicans of the state.

RIswlnr Hot aud Cold.

That history repeats itself is strlkingly
illustrated by the present position of the
Republicans That party. more than It's
oandidate, is to use Q phrase once very
common among politicians, blowing hot
and cold" This was said OF General
Winfield Scott when he was candidate
for President and undoubtedly led to his
defeat at the polls. Scott was said 10
blow hot aud cold because he was in
clined to be two sided politically and for
many years after bis defeat this phrase
WAS In common use among politicians to
express the state of affairs which now
exists in the Republican party, that is
boldly taking both sides OF the financial
question.
1t may be Of interest to some Of the
present generation to know who Winfield
Scott was He was born In 1888, entered
the United States army In 1903, served In
the war Of 1925. rising rapidly through
all grades of service until he obtained the
rank of ma general In 1641 he
became commander in-chief Of the army
which position he held until 1861. Hs

the Republican party is doing to-day.
There has never bsen a political cam
paign begun In this country similar to
that which has bsen iasu gurated by Nc
Kinley and his friends. Think of It'll
One great state wheels into the Mckinley
line shouting for honest money; another,
clamorIng for Mckinley, undertakes to
straddle the financial question. and
another, shouting still louder for Nc
Kinley, declares that it will live or die
for the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver And, what does Mckinley say to
all thiA2 We cannot say that he "blows
hot and cold" Ike General Scott. but he
keeps silent.
II lie generally understood that silence
gives consent and there can be no
question that Major Mckinley intends
to accept a nomination for the presidency
from men whose Views upon the
financial subject are dlametrically
opposite, with the expectation perhaps
OF getting them all into line through
the action OF the National Republican
Convention ct st. Louis The load stone
to do all this is already prepared In the
shape of 4 tariff that is expected to
bury all other issues. A tariff, the
promise Of which will draw millions
from the capitalists Of the country to
pay the expenses Of the election.
To do Major Mckinley justice, he has
never been two sided on the tariff ques
tion: he has always believed that the
manufacturers Of tho country should be
sustained by tariff duties so high that
foreign competition would be impossible
He still cings TO this idea or pretends
10, forgetting the lesson taught by his
own tariff when in operation, that a high
tariff leads to over production and stArvR
tion among the lsboriDg classes. This is
the Issue that Major Mckinley expects to
override all others In the coming cam.
paign. 1t Is not new one, nor Is It live
one for the American people to act upon
at this time. President Lincoln said:
"You cannot fool all the people sll the
time. and, II we are not very much mis-
tfksn. Major Mckinley and his friends
will wake up some fine morning and learn
the truth Of this saying of the martyred
