Till the contest is decided our voice

presidency The security of the cur

hour. 1t cclipses issues. Believing that
this security ran best be attained by
the success of the Republican party.
we promise it our sincere and hearty
support for its presidential ticket in the
imncnding campaign. We have never
believed that the Republican party made
the hest selection possible to it. but 1t
is difficult to see how any candid man
can deny that the selection of the Repub-
lican party was eminently more fitting
of dignity in the Democratic selection
which is seen both in the candidate
himself and in the circumstances that at
tended his nomination.-Boston Herald.
The true interests of the people ask
for the election of Mr.. Mckinley. not
for himself but for the absolute ne
.ceSsity of the whole people of the Unit
ed States and of the greater world of
which they are after all but a part. In
any event let us be reasona bic. Don't
talk of ''sectionalism" or of anarchy
or of revolution Remember always

No reasonable man can ask the Times
to stultify and dshonor itself and long
timed Democratic principles. While sup
porting to the best of our ability the
state nominations for executive offices
and legislative nominees we feel assured
that all true Democrats will justify us
in deciding that we cannot give the sup
port of the Times TO the Chicago con-
vention and it's politically diseased candi-
date. We shall do all we can to sustain
the good name and the organization of
the Democratic party, but we cannot sup
port principles nor candidates of the
Bland. Teller and Altgeld stripe. We
cannot conscientousy ask honest men
to vote for them.-Hartford Times.
We repudiate the 1G to 1 plank in
Bryan's Chicago platform and, will not
support any candidate on such plat
