an open and indisputable theft would
be different matter by 100000 ad-

ever considered as serious candidate
for the Presidency. Patterson was
openly and impudently and defantly

American think it good policy and like
a good American citizen to accept such
a criminal farce as if it were real
election? Certainly there is no parity
between the case of Patterson and Bry.

interests and rights of Col. Patterson

SAIL ON, o SHIP OF STATE!

Thou, too, sail on, o Ship OF State!
Sail on, o Union strong and great!
Humanity, with all its fears,
With all the hopes OF future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fatel
We know what Master laid thy keel,
What workman wrought thy ribs of steel,
Who made each mast and sail and rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
In what forge and what heat
Were shaped the anchors of thy hope!
Fear not each sudden sound and shock,
'Tis OF the wave and not the rock;
'Tis but the Tapping of the sail,
And not rent made by the gale!
In spite of rocks and tempest's roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea!
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears
Our faith triumphant DER our fears,
Are all with thee-are all with thee!

WKINLEY MUST READ THE NEWS.

In No Other Way viii He Learn That He
Has Been Elected.
Mr.. Mckinley will have to learn
from the newspapers that he has re-
ceived q majority of the electoral votes
and has been duly and formally elected
President Of the United States. When
5000 government clerkship is filed,
the appointee received a notice from
the Civil Service Commission. A mem.
Der elect of Congress is given O certifi-
cate by the Secretary of the State in
which he lives. A postmaster, after
being confirmed by the Senate, ia given
q commission. But the citizen who is
elected to the highest office within the
gift of the American people receives no
notice, no certificate, no commission.
Several years ago, after the uncom-
Portable experience in 1876, Congress
passed an electoral law, setting forth
in much detail the procedure for the
reception and canvass of ballots cast
by the electors. These electors meet
at the State capitols and prepare the
returns. Three sets of returns are for
warded from each State to Washing
ton. They are guarded with great care.
On the appointed day the Senators
march over to the House, and, in joint
session, with much formality, every
step in which 10 directed by law, the
returns are canvassed. Then the Vice
President announces the names of those
chosen for President and Vice Presi.

of March. With that the formalities
end. There is no provision for any
notice to the two men found to bs
elected.
When George F. Edmunds was in

under which the electoral votes are
now canvassed. He was asked one day
