of the convention, said:
You are aware that We have had
some changes in the State that recent
Constitutional Convention changed the
political conditions Of tina State 80
much that it is necessary to make new
rules before entering upon another
camnHign. That ia one reason for this
convention and the other reasun is that
because we polled $4,000 Republican
votes, two-thirds Of the Republican
votes of the State the responsibility Of
that 13,G0O votes places us upon the
leadership of the Republican party in
the State. To lay down tails Leadership
would be for the Union Republicans to
sacrifice their manhood. To continue
this organization means ultimate Re.
publican success in the State. | ask
you to forget I'LL that has transpired in
the past and ut this convention formu-
late such rules and regulations as will do
to govern, not only this Republican
party, but all future Republican or

Of the London Telegraph. The famous
pamphleteer comments on the subject

tone and compares himself to 1.-The

to tho work OF that name by Chateau

Another feature in connection with NJ.
Rochefort's survival is the fact that the
persons whose colleague he was for a
very brief period did their best to have
him condemned, Jules Simon, however,
being an exception, Emmanuel Arago,
friend of Rochefort's family, was even
one of those who wanted the editor of
the Laterne to be transported to New
Caledonia Some of the same colleagues
also had him condemned in 1889 with
Gen. Boulanger in their capacities as
senator's or deputies. AS to his con-
nection with the defense government.
NJ. Rochefort says that he left the post
as soon as he could, for there was too
much talk and too little action.

GENEROSITY THAT PAYS

When the history of tho Mckinley
campaign is written one Of the most
interesting chapters will contain the
story Of how Alger obtained the offer
Of place in the Cabinet.
No one familiar with the career Of
Michigan's great political plunger
was satisfied with the explanation
that he was asked to take a seat in
the Cabinet in order to reconcile
Foraker to Hanna's ambition to go to
the Senate. The story lacked the
essential ingredient of aD Alger deal;
there waS no Doodle in tho bargain.
Far more convincing than the Han
ma explanation is the information
sent from Chicago that Alger's name
occupies conspicuous place in the
list of the wealthy and generous
friends of the president-elect who
lifted out of the financial bog into
which he was plunged by the Foster
failure. 1t ID fair presum ption, also,
that Alger's name is in tho contribu-
ton book Of the Hanna syndicate.
Gratitude is a good thing, but is
not Maj. McKinleY's gratitude for
Gen. Ayers generosity too much of
q good thing? A glance at the lumber
schedule Of the Dingley tariff bill
shows that the lumber interests, In
which the Alger fortune was made,
are favored with rich pIums. Graft
-ude slops over when the generous
contributor is rewarded. with both
political honors and the gift Of a
great deal more money than he paid
out. Generosity pays usurious in
terest when the bread cast ON the
political waters returns i'll the form
of pic and cake.
Maj. Mckinley is said to have all
the men who dropped something into
his contribution box slated for good
things. His gratitude is creditable,
but we must protest against his man.
ner of showing it. If he pays all of
them as he proposes to pay Gen.
Alger, the American people will be
bankrupt in honor and pocket.-St.
