PERHAPS the greatest drawback to
Mckinley in his presidential aspiration
is the personal ambition of myriads of
small-fry politicians to pose as the
Ohio mans champions and go to the
St Louis convention as delegates.
Not content with entering the fight for
delegate in the various districts, as
they have perfect right to do-and
we concede that the desire to be del
egate is in itself lauda BILE am bition-
they are everywhere bolstering up
their fences by shouting that to defeat
them, the aforesaid S. m. politicians,
is treachery to Mckinley. Thus
Ohio's candidate is indirectly made the
bearer OF the burden of all the selfish
, ness, ambition and personal unpopu-
larity of scores of men who desire to
ride into prominence on the Mckinley
chariot. 1t is unjust that these things
should be, but they are Instead of
force to assist in elevating the mighty
champion OF protection, they are dead
cles, to be carried upward with his
buoyancy.
Mckinley, just, far-seeing and cour-
ageous has seen fit to trust his cause
to the people, and he will not be be-
trayed. Contests for the honor of del
egate will be made in every district
and in general they will not be indica.
tive of an unhealthy condition of af-
fairs within the party. They must be
fought however, on the line of the
relative fitness and popularity of the
aspirants and the man or element that
seeks to revive old factional differ
ences for personal ends should be turn
ed down without compunctiou. There
is no anti-McKinley sentiment in Ohio
now and to suggest it publicly is not
only crime against Mckinley him
self, but against Republicauism.

THE story of George II. Jackson, the
colored man who says he drove Jack.
son, Walling and Pearl Bryan to the
scene Of the Fort Thomas murder, is
now believed by the police and general
public to be nothing but tissue of
lies skillfully woven. The Leader
questioned the truthfulness of Jack
sons story the day after it was first
told and later developments have
shown that we were justified in doing
So Jackson, who lived with his faith
er at Belpre dozen or more years ago,
is noted liar, and it is now claimed
that a man is serving time in the peni-
tentiary because of testimony given by
him. which testimony is now believed
to have been false.

Two Lives Saved.

Mrs Phoebe Thomas, of Junction
City, Ill, was told by her doctors she
had Consumption and that there was
no hope for her, but two bottles of DR..
Kings New Discovery completely cured
her and she says it saved her life. Mr..
Ihos. Eggers, 139 Florida St., San
Francisco, suffered from a dreadful
cold, approaching Consumption, tried
without result everything else then
bought one bottle OF Dr. Kings New
Discovery and in two weeks was cured.

Republic to take up? What the lines
on which he thinks the nation should
move?
He pays little attention to the ques-
tions which will be chief in the coming
campaign-the questions of tariff, reci-
procity and currency. These, he says,
will be settled according to present
policies"
First of ALL he wants "a wise, broad,
patriotic, aggressive and progressive
American craftsmanship" He wants
the Sandwich Islands ''let in," when
they come knocking at our door" He
wants the barbarous war which Spain
is waging in Cuba stopped land it is
our mission to stop it." "And if, as a
result, the stars and stripes should
happen to foat from that island, it
would be no bad acquisition" He will
stand for any administration, Demo-
cratic or Repn blican, that stands for
America ca-stands for itagainst all the
worldso - e5.& W
"a He wants the merchant marine re-
stored, and he wants the Nicaragua
Canal built by American capital and
controlled by the United States with
out any partnership with anybody"
Such speech as this, that other Joe,
the Colonial Secretary of England,
might make. Some will call it a jingo
speech, but it is impossible not to see
in it the aspirations and hopes that are
actuating the great and increasing
class that believes that nation can
not stand still; that not to advance
means to go back. The fiery orator
may have been driven by the enthusi-
asm of moment and audience to take
position-with reference, for exam
Pile, to the annexation or acquisition of
Cuba and the Sandwich Islands-that
in calmer moments of legislative life
he might not be quick to indorse; but
in the vision that sees the need and
necessity of taking larger part in the
affairs of the world-the world, once
strange world and now a neighborhood
world-there are many who will see
with his eyes.
1t is, in reference to the merchant
marine and the Nicaragua Canal, sub
stantially the same speech that Senator
Foraker deli} cred in New y orl couple
of weeks ago. Evidently he has been
considering the issues of the days i'm
mediately before us, and the more he
weighs and considers, the more decided
and confirmed his views become. He
stands, in word, for what he said in
the beginning of his speech, "a pro-
gressive and aggressive Americanism.
He wants this country, the wealthiest
nation of the world, growing at rate
that is without precedent in the wor is
history to assume the plane that its
power entities it to assume. To do
this, he proposes means that are both
practical and popular.
So speaks one of the leaders in the
new era that is dawning Gaz.

leQuel Ia race blanche peut legalement conser-
yer lie contr6le des affaires publiques, ct par
consequent assurer Ia marche de la civlllsatlon
ct la suprematie des blancs.
8. Parce que son effet sera d'6lever les noirs
sur Iechelle de 10 civilization ct ainsl acquerir
graduellement les qualifications necessa1res au
droit de suffrage ct meriter le respect ct pes-
time de tOUs bons citoyens, ct non de continuer

7. Parce quil detruira a jamais lie pouvoir ne

pOurraient plus acheter les 6lecteurs ct aussi
cmpecher les votants peu scrnpuleux de SO

8. Parce que Pexperience acquise dams les
Etats du Mississippi ct de 10 Caroline du Sud
