REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS DIFFER

Last week the Republicans OF Colo.
RADIO and those of Connecticut held their
respective state conventions, the pat
forms differing decidedly upon the
money question. The Republican con-
vention of Colorado nominated Henry
K. Wolcott, of Denver, for governor.
He is brother of U nited States Senator
Wolcott, of Colorado. On the money
question, the convention resolved
"The Republican party is and always
has been bimetallc party. The Re-
publicans of Colorado are earnestly de-
voted to the cause of bimetallism 1t
has no sympathy with monometallism,
and believes that the final imposition oi
a single standard upon the people ol
this country would work irreparable in
jury"
The Republican state convention ol
Connecticut nominated George E.
Lounsbury, a wealthy shoe manufac
turer, for governor. The platform de-
clares anew for "a single standard oi
value, and that standard goldp"
Now, which is right Of these conven
tionsH Will some authority, through g
reliable Republican organ inform and
enlighten Republican voters who are al
at seaP Distressed Republicans should
be relieved.

SUMMIT COUNTY CONFINEMENT.

The Republican party of Summit
county seems to be in a ruptured condi,
ton. For the last two or three years
the Republicans have not been prosper.
ing in that meek Of woods" and this
state Of things seems to continue. The
Akron Democrat of the 23rd had in the
following which explains itself:
The anti. Hiltabiddle club issued the
following bulletin this morning-a par.
ody on Mark Hanna's celebrated ora,
ton on the restoration of prosperity
last fall:
"With Dobson running the Beacon,
Hiltabiddle on the canal, Mark Hanna
in the Senate, and Ebright In the post
masters chair, the anti. Hiltabiddle club
comedies the election of the Democratic
ticket In Summit county this fall.

Mr.. Dobson was formerly proprietor
OF the Democrat and was postmaster
under Cleveland.

that it be accepted, and he we'll knows
that it will not be. President Mckinley
not made that way. If IL were
Andrew Jackson, he would accept.
President Jackson was not long seated
when his cabinet were at loggerheads
owing to their wives not agreeing, and
he demanded their designations, and
formed new cabinet. But that was
Jackson.
There may be no truth in the report
as to Alger's proffer to resign. If Mr.,
Alger is not the guilty one who APP
pointed incapables from civil life tor
political reasons, and so caused bad
army management, he ought to resigr
absolutely and refuse to be made the
scapegoat.
The fact is that Mr.. Alger ought tc
act promptly, and boldly, when his owl
reputation is at stake. II he knows hii
innocence as to the responsibility fol
the shaping Of army matters which cos
the lives of our soldiers, let him resigr
and demand Investigation, so that tn,
blame might be placed where it belongs

NOMINATIONS BY PETITIONS.

By an amended law passed by the
Ohio General Assembly April s, 1898,
Section z, page "a, Laws of Ohio), it is
provided that nominations of candi-
dates for any county, city, township or
municipal Office, or members of the
beard of education may be made by
mination papers, signed in the agg,e-
gate for each candidate by not less than
three hundred qualified electors Of the
county, or fifty qualified electors of the
city, or twenty-five qualified electors of
the township, village or school district
respectively" who voted at the next
preceding general election in such
county. Nominations of candidates
for other offices may be made by romi-
nation papers signed for each candidate
by qualified electors of the state or the
district or division for which such can.
didates are nominated, not less in num-
ber than one for every one hundred
persons who voted at the next preced.
ing general election in the state or such
district or division. Signers of such
nomination papers shall insert in them
the names and addresses of such per-
sons as they desire, to the number of
five, as a committee, who may fill
vacancies caused by death or with
drawal. Such nomination papers shall
contain provision to the effect that
each sigDer thereto thereby pledges
himself to support and vote tor the
candidate or candidates whose nomi.
nations are therein requested. n
One of the signers to each such separate
paper shall swear that the statements
therein are true, to the best of bis
knowledge and belief, and the certi6-
cate of such oath shall be annexed"
1t will be seen that each signer to a
nomination paper is required to obligate
himself to Support and vote for the
candidate or candidates" whose nomi.
nation or nominations he requests.
This matter concerns persons engaged
in getting signers to petitions praying
for the nomination OF candidates.

ALGER,s POOLING PERFORMANCES.

Our Presidents great war secretary,
General Alger, has been making grand
round visiting camps and talking with
zeal, etc, trying evidently to "fool the
people,"
Mr. Alger Is looking into the condi.
ton of the camps sf,er the journals
have for weeks been showing up the
horrors The indictment is not as to
their condition now but at the time OF
actual service and during the war. DR..
Nicholas Sem, chief OF the operating
staff Of the army, says of Alger's vista
tions to the southern camps:
Secretary Ager's visit to the southern
military camps will be productive of
small beneficial results. II the secretary
Of war wishes TO investigate unhealthful
conditions at the various army mobiliza-
ton points he should send soma one
who knows something about sucn mat
ters. His place is rather at his desk in
Washington.
DR.. Senn says secretary Alger is
grossly incompetent to gather infocma-

branch of the army. As regards these
much.advertised visits OF high officials
when about to inspect, the doctor says:
An investigation, casual and by an
official head, has not gained any weighty
results. The day of such visit always
finds the military camp on dress parade,
as 1t were, and the faults are not 80
pslpable. The present trip to the south
Is not 80 much for investigation, how.
ever. 1t is intended to create some ex.
element, produce some cheering and
has behind 1t possibly political motive.
DR.. Sem says, sin the late war there
was no unity of effort because of in
capacity and laundering and politics in
Washington which permeated through
all ranks" These efforts to excuse,
palliaie and whitewash is all wrong and
will rather prevent than help reform.
Alger's efforts show the baby act and a
disposition to throw the blame upon
subordinstes. General Schoield says,
"Alger has mental infrmity that pre-
vents his repeating proposition cor.
rectly." This is a soft, or polite way OF
calling a man constitutional liar.

TIE rnrLrpprNr PROBLEM.

The New York Financial Chronicle, in
an article on the Philippine problem,
concludes that there ere only four lines
of action for our authorities to follow
either return the islands to Spain, estab.
lsh their independence, annex them
with the view Of admission as a state, or
hold and govern them as colonies.
The Chronicle considers all mpractic-
able except the last, and that annexation
would be attended with danger II involv-
ing statehood. Holding them as colonies
the Chronicle thinks Ii logical neces'
sity, which this country cannot escape
from, having gone so far in the matter.
Involved as the United States are they
must make the beet Of 1t, although
there are "grave hazards in this newt
able step"
"It will not do" It says, ITO govern

Rico as the Washington authorities
governed the subjugaiet south in 1865,

will not do to conduct onr foreign dipo-
macy with such easy retorts as marked
the Behring Sea negotiation, or through
such agents as have frequently made
our foreign service ridiculous at not un
i'm portant foreign capitalists. The
Chronicle, however, takes a hopeful
view of the situation, closing its article
as follows:
It certainly will not answer to choose
our copsuls from country politicians and
our colonial administrators from the ia.
vorites of political bosses. Unles' we
are TO provide against such possibilities
"a these the colonial experiment will
