THE NOMINEES.

Mckinley and Hobart is the slogan!
The delegates at the Republican national
convention, at st. Louis, have placed in
nomination William Mckinley, of Ohio, and
Garret A. Hobart, of New jersey, as candi-
dates for President and Vice President
respectively. The result is no surprise to the
readers of the HERALD, so far as the first
place upon the ticket is concerned. The
nomination Of the Napoleon of Protection
has been conceded by all Republicans, with
very few exceptions, ever since Connecticut
broke away from the Reed managers and
Illinois refused to endorse the candidacy of
Cullom The only doubt that existed at the
time of the st. Louis convention was the
size of the minority Mckinley would receive
lis nominal on was practically unanimous
the leaders accepting the will Of the great
fmajority Of Republicans throughout the
nation.
William Mckinley, whose name and
personality just now dominates all things
Republican, stands out in bold relief as the
chumpion Of Protection to American indus

desire to rise, an ambition that is worthy
every American youth; with the years o
manhood his military record is one of much
pride, followed, as it is, with his services in
the halls Of Congress and as Governor of the
state of Ohio-rOunding out a most brilliant
record as a statesman that will stand the test
of time. His patriotism is the strongest
point in his character and his honesty is ot
the sturdy kind. Such man is the Repub

other favoritc sons had to 90 down. 1t was a
popular uprising, and when the people speak
the result is never uncertain.
The HERALD favored another candidate

Der next we will be found battling for The
party nominees.
The nominee for Vice President Garret
A. Hobart, New Jerseys favorte son. will
add strength to the ticket. All doubt as tC
how New Jersey would cast her electoral
vote has been removed by the nomination of
Hobart His prominence in national politics
led to his becoming New jerseys choice fol
Vice President. The boom grew amazingly
and the New jersey people were sincere in
demanding that recognition because Of the
hard fight that had been made to overthrow
the Democratic machine which was quarter
of century in construction, and to place
New Jersey in the column with the Northern
industrial states.
There is nothing the matter with the
Republican party its nominees are all right
and Mckinley viii be elected by the largest
majority given to a candidate since the war
The three P's-prosperity, protection, patriot
ism-will be the battle cry.
