 Had the American people on other cause for universal joy this alone would suffice. He went into power with much opposl' tion; he goes out with none. The Ma tion shares the relief with which he pro fesses to anticipate liberation from the cares aud burdens of state II he has hearty, cordial, sincere friend, advocate or champion in either house of congress such one turks prlvily in ambush and makes no announcement.
 Entrusted with plenary powers by the people in 1893 the failure of the Admin istration in every department stands con- fessed. His policy at home has been destructive, and abroad humiliating and ignominous. The degraded coalition by which he was elected made no prom ises that he has not violated and gave no pledges that he has not betrayed. His tariff reform has afforded neither revenue for the treasury, protection for capital, nor wages for labor. His fnan-
  fdence nor prosperity. Upon the pre- text of replenishing the gold reserve the national debt has been increased and bonds sold to favorite syndicates to meet deficiencies in the ordinary expenses ot the government. His diplomacy has been apologetic and vacillating to the verge of dishonor. saved only from in- fanny by the grotesque and diverting i'm bec1lity.

 With belligerent and mutinous sen ate, becoming constantly more jealous O it's prerogatives, the new chief magistrate will be compelled to tread the paths 0 hIs feet with circumspection. He mus take heed how he stand lest he fall. Int people are fatigued with diversity. They are tired of hard times. They anticipate some miraculous and supernatural return of prosperity. Popular fancy depict Mckinley standing like Moses at Horeb to whom Hamilton was likened by Web ster in hls magnificent apostrophe: "Ht smote the rock of the national resource and abundant streams of revenue gushec forth; he touched the dead corpse of pub llc credit and it sprung upon his feet"
