be fully understands the motive" of the
proposition that Captain Dovener and
Candidate Blair. whose BenwoOd dates
come together tu-morroW evening, meet
In Joint discussion, and therefore de-
clines the otrer.
Chairman Post is A man OF wonderful
resources. His last refusal wac based
on the reason that an acceptance of a
challenge would necessltate a change in
Mr. Blair's itinerary. This time that
excuse wouldn't work, for an acceptance
would involve no change in Mr.. Blair's
dates. Elsewhere, in the absence of an
explanation by Mr.. Post as TO what
motives he believes Chairman Smith had
in making his proposition, the latter
gives his motives. They are good ones.
The Idea was to give to Mr.. Blair an
opportunity to explain to the mill hands
at BenwoOd why 1t is that in Democratic
days they were working on part time,
and that now they have all the work
they desire, II his arguments as heard
in the Opera House are true. and to state
his position in some other respects. That
opportunity has been refused MT. Blair

The Pn,idenss Charaeier,

Secretary Of the Navy Long. IN his

eloquently sentiment that will be echo
ed by the country when he uttered these
words: III ever there was man who
loved his country. aservant.of thepub-
lie whose sole purpose was to do his
duty, and who was guided by a prayer
full sense of accountability 10 God and
fellow men, It Is President Mckinley"
whatever partlsans may say of the
Presidents policies, whatever criticisms
they may seek to urge against him and
his administration for political eftect,
the truth Of this tribute from member
of his cabinet, who has the respect of
the entire country regardless of party.
and of the officers and men of our i'm
vIncible navy, must be admitted by all.
Amid everything else the character of
the President, his honesty and his patri-
otlsm have been unimpeached.
Secretary Long gives testimony to the
unselfishness of the devotion OF the
Preslden: to duty above all other things
when he says, speaking for himself; Il
have sat at the cabinet table, and I re-
call not one occasion when, In the dis
eussion there of any question, one
word has been uttered with regard to its
effect or It's bearing on the personal or
political fortunes Of the President or
any member of his cabinet, or of the
party Of which he was the choice two
years ago, as 10 to-day he is the choice
OF all the people"
Coming from so high and so distin-
guished a source, this statement viii be
accepted by the public. The unselhsh-
ness and strict adherence 10 duty, at
whatever cost, has been one Of the chief
characteristics OF President Mckinley.
On the Sth of November.he will receive
the endorsement of the country in the
election of a Republican Congress and
