PRESS COMMENTS.
One or ti,e Reasons.

Philadelphia Press: One OF the rea-
sons why Mckinley is running SO
strongly now is the widespread feeling
that it is a contest between Mckinley
and the people on the one side. and the
bosses on the other. For this feeling
the political managers are themselves
responsible. Their movement 70 orga-
-nize a combination against MCKINLEY
has been so open, undisguised ana os.
tentatious that everybody sees It. II
was a tactical mistake to show their
hand SO plainly. The machine is power
lin some states:it is powerful in COM
bination; but spread out over fofty-hVe
states the people are still more powerful.
and they revolt at the aNowed attempt
OF a few managers TO defeat the populasr
will and impose their Individual VIII
upon the party. The effort to dlscredlt
the Mckinley campaign as a noodle
campaign Is equally unwise. In view OF
what Is known as to recent eftorts IN the
south, such charge will recoiL wnile
the fact that McKinley's strength lies
in such states as Kansas, Nebraska.
wisconsin. Indiana and Michigan, ana
that It runs over the politicians is SUI
ficient answer. We say these things
not in the interest OF Governor Mckin.
Icy, but as a warning to the political
managers that their method OF dghting
him Is only enhancing his popularity. II
they want to nominate him they VIII
keen on at their game, II they want
Republicans to deliberate they VIII
themselves contribute to elaboration.

Chicago Inter- Ocean: Governor Me-
KInley is not only admirable as the
champion Of protection but a most low
able man In private life. Pure in all his
Eolngs and comIngs, true and strong in
his friendships, generous and sympas
thetic, he draws to him the best OF all
who come in contact with him. The
story OF his devotion to his invalid Wife,
who, after all jthese years, Is hls sweet,
heart, has touched, in their tenderest
places, hearts in eSary state OF the ma
tlon. Blood is thicker than water. and
affection more potent than intellect. Nc
Kinley'A splendid defense OF right and
dennnciRtion Of wrong have made him
the favorite at the hustlngs, but It ~
these manifestations Of the heart That
have made him king about the HEARTH
stones OF the country.

New York Press: There is no uncer-
tain sound about the money plank
adopted by the Ohio Republican conven-
ton. I'VE contend for honest money"
Is the tefse, clear.cut, ringing sentence
with which that declaration OF Repub-
lican principle opens. That there may
be no possibility OF a mistake as to the
attitude OF the Republican masses OF
the state OF John Sherman, the plank
goes on to demand currency OF gold.
silver and paper that shall be as sound
as the government and as untarnished
as It's honor" Not even the most cap-
tious and distrustful of single gold
standard men can find exception to this
plain. frank, unequivocal utterance.
In taking this stand for honest money
the Ohio convention has performed q
public service OF immense value. II
viii tend to strengthen business conf
tience throughout the entire nation. II
shows that the Republican party Is not
terrified by the threats and bluster Of a
handful OF free silverite United States
senators. It also demonstrates that
the party which brought the union out
OF the slough of cheap paper money to
the solid rock of specie payments Is In
tiexibly loyal to that record. Ohio has
spoken. Let the Republication OF other
western commemorative be equally
CONTAGIOUS and consistent.

THE PRESS AND CONGRESS
And the Types or People Who Ran Most
Most nj the Latter.

Most nj tho Latter.
American Review. 1t Is not too much
to say that the friendly attitude Of a
large majority of thepress towardsthe
national house indicates an increasing
confidence not only in the good sense,
statesmanship and conservatism of the
popular branch, which has been here
tofore supposed to be most influenced
by temporary conditions, but also In the
Republican party which controls the
house by so large majority.
Even those papers which have criti-
cised the house for not doing more than
It has done. after witnessing the pro-
ceedings Of the anti Republican senate.
are rapidly reaching the conclusion
that the house has done. or rs likely
to do In essential directions. all that
had the slightest chance OF securing
the approval of an ntI-Repnbncan
senate and Democratic President In
deed. far more than will receive such
approval; and that II would have been
unwise to go further in proposing Re-
publican measures of vital Importance
with the certainty that they could not
become laws. and with the probability
that the hostile reception which surh
measures would encounter might IN
crease the dlstrust that already exists
in the country.
The people who rail most at Con-
gress are, first. the thoughtless and ir-
responsible and those persons who are
making daily failure of life; and, sec
ond, those writer's who are Obliged TO
draw inspiration from the business de-
partment OF their respective publica,
lions. No man can, nor Ia he expected
to, write his true convictions while his
bondsnan's club hangs. like the Damo-
clean Sword. Immediately over his
head. The writer in greatest demand
is the one having the most picturesque
vocabulary of directive and effuisent
ladjectiyes with which to hurl scorn and
contumely upon the heads of public
men. This kind of pabulum pleases
class one, above mentioned. because II
supplies them with new and novelsepi-
thets; 1t also pleases the business man
agement of the paper, because II sweils
the subscription list.
Congress, as a body is the main OBJ
ject, by reason Of It's greater promi--
nece among our other institutions, and
because its members have the good
sense not to reply in kind. They know
that Just public sentiment will ulti-
mately sustain the right, and happily
for this republic of ours, public senti-
ment Is not necessarily the Tnenepoltzed
creature Of the metropolitan press.

The senatorial situation In Kentucky
erowa more interesting each day, and.
though there does not now seem any
possihlllty that Il win result in an cleo
lion, VI Is attracting the attention ofsthe
entire country and a part Of Europe.
Seldom II ever before In the history Of
such contests has there been such a dis
play Of partisan feeling as has been Wit
messed during the past few days at
frankfort
Yesterday II almost eliminated In a
tragedy, the crisis being preclpItated by
I'M over-otgicions sheriff, who assumed
to execute orders, which 1t seems he had
never received from the governor to
eject certain distinguished citizens,
among them being Senator Blackburn,
from the capitol But for the cool
headedness OF one Democratic member
of the legislature. who insisted on first
ascertalnIng whether Governor Bradley
had reilly issued such an order to the
sheriff, bIoodshed would have been the
result OF the affair. Happily 1t turned
out that the governor had made no order
that the gentlemen should be elected
and the incident closed.
This was only one of many exciting
scenes that have occurred. 1t will not be
surprising II the country Is yet startled
by news of one or more shooting affairs
glowing out Of the remarkable contest.
There have been some high handed pro-
ceedings which are not calculated to re-
store good feeling between the two sides.
one OF the most disgraceful acts COM
mitted by either side was the expulsion
of two Republican senators in retalia-
ton for the unseat5ng of Democratic
representative. The expulsion of the
senators was without warrant and
without due legal process. There had
not even been contest instituted. They
were expelled INTERNATIONALLY. and
there was no excuse for the action save
thar the Democratic senate desired to
increase its majority.
on the other hand the unseatlng Of a
Democratic representative was the re-
suit OF contested election, the trial of
which had been legally conducted, and
was in pursuance of the provisions of
the constitution of the state. 1t isto the
everlasting shame of the Democratic
party of Kentucky that the action of the
senate is countenanced by 1t.
Since 1t has been settled that there can
be no election of a senator, unless party
lines be broken over. IT is to be hoped
that the legislature may be permitted to
adjourn without anything more serious
than what has already occurred hap-
penlng to add to Kentucky's disgrace.
If no senator is elected the matter will
enter very largely into the coming cam
paign. in which the Republicans will
have the best side of the question. The
two Democratic factions are irreconcil-
able, and each Will seek vindlcation at
the hands of the party. on the other
hand. the Republicans are thoroughly
harmonious and united. We may hope
to see the result of last fall, when the
Republicans carried the state, repeated.

The Intelligencer is glad to note that
the Grafton Sentinel begins to under
stand It's position regarding the West
Virginia delegation to st. Louis, but our
contemporary is still slightly in error
when II infers that the IntellIgencer is
'apprehensIye that delegation I'M
friendly to the Ohio statesman will be
elected" Such nj, idea has never enter
ca the Intelligencer's mind.
From the very beginning the RepubIl-
can sentiment of the state has been
clearly IN the direction of Mckinley,
and II has steadily grown until he is the
choice of the masses OF the party. From
the 1ntellIgencer's adyices received from
every section of West virginia It be-
lisves that the sentiment is as nearly
unanimous for Mckinley as 1t ever was
for Blaine.

Sewell seems to come as near being
complete work as any heretofore pub
lished. The authors In their preface
state that IL has been their aim to
make q grammar of as wide scope

dition TO recording and classifying the

from standard authors are given to
show the student that he is dealing

with the theories of grammarlans.
