THERE is a great deal of talk con-
corning what will be Senator Teller's
political future. While many honor
him for his action, since it was
doubtless conscientiously taken, the
NoRTHERNER ventures the predic-
ton that his lot will be like that OF
other "bolters" in our political his.

WILLIAM G. Whitney says he is
not a candidate for the presidency
and defines his views of what the
platform of the democracy should be
He favors a gold platform, of course
as he is a consistent democrat and
does not 60 back on his party's fnan'
cial record. Ex-Gov. Campbell OF
Ohio feels good deal the same way
and pleads for "harmony" at any
cost. The substance of the express
sons of these leading democrats on
the currency issue will be found in

Our Candidates.

At the head of this page will be
found the republican national ticket:
For president-William Mckinley
Of Ohio.
For vice president-Garrett A.
Hobart of New Jersey.
The personality of the ticket is en-
cellent. Not a single objection can
be raised against it. Both men are
clean politically and in their private
lives. a "mud singing campaign
cannot be successfully directed
against them.
The nomination of Mckinley,
whose name is synonym for pro-
lection, will force the tariff TO the
front as the prominent issue of. the
campaign. Mckinley stands for the
protective policy definitely and his
name is so linked with the issue that
those desiring TO oppose ms
election will necessarily have to
assault his tariff record and tariff
views, which cannot be successfully
done. McKinley's name is tower Of
strength in the present temper of the
American people.
Mr.. Hobart has not heretofore
been a figure in national politics
and is comparatively little known
beyond the limits of his own state.
At home he bears an excellent repu-
tation, and while, as he says himself
in a newspaper interview, he is but a
fv on the circumference of big
wheel, Mckinley being the wheel, he
adds strength to the ticket from the
very fact of his carrying with him no
element of weakness. His locality
is also right, and his nomination
doubtless fixes New Jersey safely in
the republican column.
AS popular, vote getting ticket,
Mckinley and Hobart are all right.
