CANDIDATE M'KINLEY.

The strength of the financial plank of
the Republican platform has been inn
paired to a deDlorable extent by the
weakness of the candidate in his past
attitude on the question of the cur
relcy.-Rochester Herald.
His record in and out of congress,
his public writings and speeches can
be construed TO make him now, as he
was a, few years ago, free silver ad-
vocate, and nothing he has said in
public since this campaign opened con-
troverts this nclusion.-N ashville
American.
In private fortune a bankrupt, as
governor of Ohio he was failure, de-
voting the time which should have
been given to his Office to the most per-
sistent and systematic quest of the
presidency ever prosecuted by man
of a combination of men.-Louisviile
Courier Journal.
A good many Republicans will not
be able to rid themselves of the notion
that there has been something mex
pressibly vulgar in the campaign
which has resulted in the nomina-
of William Mckinley. He has been
nominated by main strength and
awkwardness. Cincinnati Enquirer.
With a halfway good platform and
fair ticket the Democrats will defeat
the Republican ticket. With the sterl-
ing ticket and the strong patriotic
platform that should be placed before
the people by the Chicago convention,
success over the Mckinley ticket
should be Overwhelming Rap
ids Democrat.
The nominee of the st. Louis con-
venGion is q, sectionalist by nature, by
aOY iofi hyr Ion CT
he should become president tine Re
publican party would continue the rep
resentative of sectfonalism that it al
ways has been, and the south would
again be subjected to discrimination.
Florida Times-Union.
It is the old story over again-irst
hated, then endured, then pitied, then
embraced. McKinley's godlike intel
lcet,, his inspiring and magnificent
oratory, his profound political philoso-
ply. his coura ge, will soon be lauded
on every Republican stump and in
every Republican ewspaper.-Jack-
son, Mich, Patriot.
The notorious history of the prepara-
ton of the Mckinley tariff bill con-
firms the impression that he is not
personal inconvenience to thwart gen.
tIemen who are endeavoring to secure
some little benefit for themselves in
tn course of national legisiation.-In-
dianapolis Sentinel.
/ The nominee for president has been
on all sides of the money question, bur
since his active candidacy for the NOM
/ inatfon has been absolutely dumb on
the subject. Charged in the east with
| being a friend to silver coinage, he
/ remained silent. Accused in the west
of being a goldbug. ne kept his mouth
! cloSed.-CAeveland Plain Dealer.
! Never has triumphant plutocracy
been so insolently self-assertive as in
! the making of this Republican nomin-
alton. Mark Hanna, a most offensive
| type of the overbearing, constituencies
| dominant man of money bags, has fore
/ ed upon the American people this poll
| tic.an who is weak in all matters in
which he is not wrong.-New York
Journal.
On the currency question Mckinley
has had no fixed ideas that anybody
has been able to- discover He has
sDoken and voted on all sides of the
! question, is credited with the state
ment that he would not veto a free
coinage bill if he were president, and
no one has yet been able to get a direct
| answer from him as to his position
