The herald., 1896-07-11

1t is perhaps natural that hysteria
should evolve the candidate. The nomin-
alton of a boy orator. for the White
House at this juncture of the nations
affairs. domestic and foreign, when the
ripest experience. the best wisdom. the
broadest patriotism and the greatest ex-
ecutive ability are required, come peril
ously near taking the one fatal step from
the sublime.
1T is to the future that the World
looks in considering the effect Of this
convention. There is no doubt as to the
result of the election, except as to the
size Of the Mckinley popular and elec-
toral majority. To question this is to
doubt the intelligence, the underlying
honesty and the public morality of the
people,
"The Democratic party. If not hope
lessly disrupted. will be the natural rally
ing point for the reaction against Re
publican revel in spoils, a favoritism
towards trusts, which is sure to follow
the election of Mckinley"
NEW YORK JOURNAL.
NEW YORK, July 10.-The Journal to-
morrow will say:
1T is just to say that If there be rea-
son for grave objection to the platform
adopted by the Chicago convention there
can be none urged against the personal
character Of the presidential candidate.
Since it was the desire of great ma
jority of the convention to pronounce
for the free coinage Of silver, no more
representative champion could have
been put forth to lead the battle. In
considering the chances for the success
of this candidate, 1t is necessary to bear
in mind that he will poll every free-silver
vote in the Democratic party and in the
Republican party. The Populists have
for him a friendly feeling. 1t seems
easy to conclude that his defeat in No
vember will not be easily compassed.
BOSTON JOURNAL.
BOSTON, July 1O-The Journal will
say editorially tomorrow:
1.-The silver party has a candidate
worthy of It, His strength ought to be
the full strength Of the party, but moth
ing more than that; and here in New
England. we never can believe that any
thing else than disastrous defeat awaits
a man who stands on such false and
wicked platform
BALTIMORE SUN
BALTIMORE, July 1o.-The Sun and
the Evening News, both heretofore
strongly Democratic. will not support
Bryan in the coming campaign.
The Sun cyill say tomorrow: The only
question that now presents itself to the
sound money men is "how to beat
Bryan" He Is the best man the free
coinage people could have nominated, a
brilliant speaker and an effective cam
paigner; he fits the platform and the
platform fits him. The chances, how
ever, are in favor Of Mckinley and
sound money, regardless Of the evils Of
protection.
The News in an editorial today says:
There is no duty SO urgent today as the
duty of seeing that the Chicago idea of
Democracy is buried as deep as possible
next November.
DENVER, July 1o.-The Republican
will tomorrow say Of the Democratic
nominee:
If he lives UP to the planks of the
platform on which he was nominated

cured the nomination by freely pledging

the Colorado delegation for bringing
Teller's name before the convention.
The Rocky Mountain News (Populist)
Will tomorrow editorially endorse the
Democratic platform as a most radical
Populistic document. OF the candidate
1t will say:
A man Of pure private life, of spotless
character, of exalted talents, of the no.

A NEWSPAPER BOLT
NEW YORK, July 1O.-T'he Sun this
morning, In the following editorial, form
ally repudiates the national Democratic
platform and supports Mckinley for the
presidency:
southern poverty, entV ndered by the
war. the common discomfort stirred i'm
to recklessness by the agitation of the
past twelve years, have at last blazed
into a demand for debased coinage and
a tax on wealth and have carried the
national Democratic convention.
THE Chicago platform cannot be ac-
cepted. The United States was made
democratic and 1t must remain SO.
Free silver coinage would be nation
al dishonor and a monumental ana
chronism. Silver has had its day as
the money standard
THE silver campaign is based on de-
lusions which have no justification and
on statements which are not so. 1t can
not prevail, and every sincere believer
in fair dealing and in business honor as
the foundation of commercial prosperity
must put aside all other purposes and
unite for it's defeat.
From now until the night of election
day in November 1896, the presidential
candidate of every Democrat who ia |
vOrs honest money and who still hopes |
to crush the enemies of the fundamen- |
tai principles he was bred in, should be, |
without hesitation, evasion or prejudice, |
Mckinley"
