COMMENT ON THE NOMINATION
AND PLATFORM.
The Denver Republican Views the
Result i'm the Same Light as
Does Teller.

San Francisco, June 1s.-The local pa
pers have the following to say with
gard to McKinley's nomination:
The Chronicle (republican): There were
other worthy candidates, but any other
nomination would have been a mistake.
For the past " Gays II mas been mani
fest that he was the choice Of the re-
publican electorate by an overwhelming
preference and the convention has simp-
ly ratified the pronounced will Of the
party in placing his name at the head CT
the national ticket. The friends of silver
can not be ignorant of the fact that Nc
kinley is not owned by Wall street and
they may be assured that the white metal
will be kindly treated by him. He has
always been friendly to silver. AS their
servant, not as their dictator, will he
enter the White house, and their behests
will be needed whenever the general judg-
n.ent is made manifest"
The Call Uepublican): 1T is an ideal
ticket. The candidates suit the platform
the emergency and the needs of the coun-
try as well as they suit the desire and
the temper of the people William Nc
Kinley is one of those soldier candidates
whom the republican party delights 10
honor. To the majority of the working
men of America his name is synonymous
with prosperity"
The Examiner tdemocraD: 1T is notice
able that Mckinley was not the choice
OF the great republican states. The fail
ure OF these to agree upon candidate
gave the democratic states. which will
send him no electoral votes, an oppor-
tunlty to force him upon them. The
most eloquent significance of the situation
is that his candidacy will fail to rouse
that hearty enthusiasm in the republican
states which would have resulted had
they agreed upon and named a candidate
&c q .c,,I
to see the solid democratic south thrust
ing down the Threats of the northern
and New England states a candidate
whose nomination the latter fought so
bitterly to defeat"
Denver.
Denver June 19.-In it's leading editorial
the Denver Republican (republican) says
today:
When Mckinley accepted the nomina-
ton from the money power he Justly for
Ielted the respect and the support of all
true believers in bimetallism, and we
hold that the Colorado delegates ana
others who went out with them are en-
Titled to the lasting gratitude of their
constituents for the courage and indie
pendence they displayed in this matter
AS the chief representative of protection
Major Mckinley will prove a popular
candidate in the manufacturing centers
or the eastern and middle states where
that policy is deemed sufficient to insure
return of prosperity which the country
enjoyed under President Harrison's I'D
ministration when we were adding $780,
OOOOOO TO our currency on account of the
purchases of silver, but we believe that
as the campaign progresses, the money
question will rapidly become the leading
issue in every section. and if this opin-
ion is sound, it is wholly within the
range of probability that the platform
and ticket approved al St. Louis will be
defeated by the greatest majority in The
history of American politics next Novem-
