NATIONAL REPUBLICAN TICKET.
HON. WEI. MCKINLEY.

HON. WIN. MCKINLEY.
OF course, she nomiuation of Me-.
Mckinley was q forgone conclusion.
Nobody expected anything else No
body was sstouishsd at the oussome.
Mr.. Mckinley was evidently the choice
of his party on question of his leader
ship in one special matter OF policy
that OF the tariff. Tue differences that
subsequently developed, regarding the
question OF gold and silver, were adjust
ed without the slightest disturbances of
Mr. MoKinley's position as an aspirant
to she nomination. Many Of his fol-
lowers went to the support of she gold
standard, but they returned from tibet
trial as devoted as ever TO MIR. McKiD-
ley az the party Nominee. 1t was the
most extraordinary demonstrations Of
latter days. Hundreds OF men apssgo-
nized what was supposed to be Mr.. Mo
Kinley's personal preference IS to the
financial plank of the platform, but al
of them fell into line again as the sup
porters of the man himself, and thus iu-
sured his nomination. The fact is Nr.
Mckinley has attracted to himself q
great number OF warm friends He is
genial, kindly, unResuming. good-hears-
edandhonest. Wa do not wonder that be
is generally beloved. We are prepsred.to
see him supported by thousands merely
on account Of his personal attractions.
His candidacy was prompted and his
subsequent nomination Was brought
about by the popular idee that he rep
resented the protection theory, and this
idea was strengthened and fortified by
the obvious failure of the Democratic
tariff of 1894. He was thus made COR
spicuous as the lerdeF of an economic
propaganda, which attracted the whole
country, end when he appeared as the
representa- hive of the reeosionary rove-
ment he was hailed, naturally, as liber
atoF aud hero. /
Mr.. Mckinley served in Congress- for /
fourteen years aud was twice elected /
Governor of Ohio, the last time by the |
: largest majority ever given TO any Cub +
ernatorial candidate since the days of T
John Boueh. He IS held in respect and
confidence by men OF every party, and
nobody doubts that, If elected, he will
make an honest, upright, and consesva-
tive Chief Magistrate. We oongretu-
late the Republican party Wgshing
ing Post. Indep).
ANARCHISTS such as Albgeld, Tillmen,
Pennoyer and their kind were the men
who inspired and prepared the so.caued |
Chicago Democratic platform and such |
men as the wbippers-in Of the Popnlist
party are demanding of she people, the |
Democratic bone and sinew OF this land, |
to follow in their wild, their illogical |
politics that overturns every principle |
OF Democracy that in the years shat are /
past helped to hold the nation IN eqaili- !
boium and maintain stable, prosper |
Gus governments. Think of Demo
cratic platform declaring for protect
i've tsriff; think Of Democratic plat
form demanding that the Uni5sd States
undertake to coin the silver of ahe
world and set it into circulation 10 tsse
destruction Of cur own silver mines and
miners, erraying sgainst them tbs peon
labor of Mexico ard other silver pros
ducing countries. The silver man of
the nation are not so be mis]ead by
that sort of stuff
THE Republican party ia committed
tos rational bimetslism- Is has said
to the people of the United Saetss, in
good faith, that it would use KS best
EFF 3rts to rs-easablieh silver on "a equal
ity wish gold and further that It's tenure
upon tbes equality should noa merely
depend upon the hue and cry OF silver
fsnaticisn but upon it's re-ssta blish-
ment by the demands OF she CONNER
oial nations of the world. Upon this
promise Of the St. Louis convention to
the nation we can rely. The Republican
party mekea no vain and deceivjpg
promises that it does net propose to
carry out.
