Tanners Triumph.

Peoria Herald.
There are victories that are worse
than n defeat, and among these may
DO classed the victory of MIR. Tanner
down at Springfield. He has been
nominated against the will Of the best
men in the republican party in the
state OF Illinois. This was made
possible only by the rare power he
has Of manipulating caucuses and
conventions to his will. He was
nominated despite the fact that he is
the bitterest opponent OF Nc
kinley, who Is the first
choice OF nine tenths OF the
republicans Of Illinois. Probably
there never was more ludicrous
political paradox than the hundreds
Of republicans In Illinois who were
present at that convention bawling
themselves hoarse with cries for
Tanner and at the same time moving
the roof OF the dome OF the building
with shouts for Mckinley, when the
one was in direct antagonism to the
other Such thing could have been
possible only in boss-ridden repub-
lican convention. 1t never seems 10
have struck the average delegate to
that convention that he was making .
ridiculous spectacle OF himself.
The convention itself was q trav-
csty on political fairness. The Chi
cago men came down with the avowed
intention Of running the convention,
and they did IL from start to finish
No measure went through without
their approval. no candidate was
nominated that did not bear the Chi
cago brand. II was apparent that
John Tanner had promised this to
Chicago and he carried out his PROM
Uses. The result can be easily artic-
ipa,cd. There has never been .
ticket nominated by the repub-
licars OF Illinois against which
there will be so many objec-
lions urged. There has never been
one put in the field that will create
wider discomfort among the republi-
cans. There has never been nomi-
mated q more vulnerable man than
John Tanner. I. is not necessary
for the democrats to urge new Oh.
Iections against him. They will find
al those arguments set forth in full
in Tho republican papers from the
Chicago Tribune down to the smsll-
est village sheet. Ii is true that this
opposition has ceased so far rs the
chicago papers are concerned. be.
cause the editors Of the Inter Ocean
and OF the Tribune are to receive .
portion OF the pork. But the argu-
nents had already been given the
widest publicity.
