The Journal addresses itself to the men
who voted for William Mckinley in No
vember, 1896. The most of you who did so
vote were confident that it was the best
thing to do; a few were not so confident
but they followed the advice of others
Speaking to the mass of the men who
voted for President Mckinley in 1896, we
ask: DO you regret it-you who desired bet
ter times, confidence in business and better
employment-do you regret that you helped
to elect William Mckinley President? We
urge every voter for Mckinley in 1896 who
reads this to ask himself: Do / regret vot-
ing for Mckinley?
There may be few who have regrets, but
the number is exceedingly small. A few
may be vexed about insignificant matters
like the making of a postmaster, but when
1t comes to the large affairs of a great Ma
ton, If there are any Mckinley voters who
are dissatisfied. Republican committees do
not find them
There should be no dissatisfaction. The
Mckinley administration and the party in
accord with him have done thus far all
that they promised to do during the can
vass of 1896. They have restored confidence
to business by assuring the country that no
6istracting 16-to-1 scheme shall paralyze
business while they are in power. This
confidence has caused an expansion of bust
ness, a rapid recovery of every important
industry in the land. and a general prosper
ity has succeeded widespread depression
Not one man in thousand who voted for
William Mckinley will deny these things
Such being the case, do you, Mckinley
voters. desire these conditions to continue?
IL you do, you must go to the polls and APP
prove them by voting for representatives
who have aided the President
And the war-can there be any men who
voted for William Mckinley who do not APP
prove the course the President has pursued
the courage and wisdom with which he re-
sisted unwise action by Congress, the vigor
with which he caused the war to be prose-
cuted when once begun, and his statesman
ship displayed in forcing the terms of
peace? There may be such. but If there are
they successfully keep the secret to them
selves, as If ashamed of it. 1t is fair to as
sumo that ninety-nine of every one hundred
men who voted for Mckinley in 1896 most
cordially approve the general conduct of
the war. Is it possible that 1.-THE mckinley
voters who have been so jealous in encour-
aging enIistments, and who have shouted
themselves out of voice over brilliant vic
tories, have so suddenly lost their interest
in these glorious achievements that they
will neglect to vote for overstreet, Lands.

The Democratic managers wko are trying
to run the Western end of the party in
the interest OF free silver would do well
to ponder on the complete collapse of the
cause in the East. Nearly all the Democrat
&c conventions and candidates in that Sec
ton OF the country are either ignoring the
subject or coming out frankly against the
Chicago platform. The Baltimore Sun prints
an Interview with Mr.. r. b. Tipett. Demo-
cratic nominee for Congress in the Second
Maryland district. embracing part of the
city of Baltimore, in which he says, lin
order that there may be no misapprehension
as to my position on the financiaisquestion
should the same be made an issue in this
campaign. / wish to say that / am abso-
luteiy IN favor of the gold standard. In
like manner Mr. F. C. Stevens. Of Attica,
n. " in declining the Democratic nominal
tion for state senator. assigns as reason
1.-THE adoption OF new ideas and principles to
which ] cannot conscientiously subscribe .
and cites the free-silver plank of the Chi
cago platform as one. And so the lost cause
continues to lose.

Sone of the Eastern States which have
ments to have them vote in the November
election. In New Jersey it is done by proxy
and the secretary of state has forwarded to
all New Jersey voters in the military service
blanks to be filled out authorizing some one
to deposit their votes. The blanks when
filed out will empower some qualified voter
residing in the election district in which the
soldier is entitled TO vote, to cast the ballot
of the soldier filing in the blank for all
officers for whom he would have a right to
vote if he were present at such election
This proxy must be signed by the absent
elector, attested by two subscribing wit
nesses and sworn to before any field officer
or commander of vessel or naval station.
With this blank proxy blank ballot is also
sent, which must be filled in by the soldier
and deposited in an envelope, which must
be duly sealed and have the proxy attached
to the outside. Blanks have been sent to
the three New Jersey regiments and to about
three hundred Jerseymen in the Sixth
United States Cavalry. The only New York
volunteers whose votes will have to be poiled
outside or the country are the First New
York Regiment, stationed at Honolulu. If
the vote in New York should be as close in
the coming election as it was in 1884, when
Cleveland had a little more than 1900 ma
jority over Blaine, the votes of the regiment
at Honolulu might determine the election.
The soldiers vote may indicate to some ex-
tent what effect the clamor of the yellow
press has had on them. In 1864, after all
the Democratic attacks on Lincoln, the SOL
der vote of thirteen States was, for Nc
Clelan 80, 74S and for Lincoln 116,SS7. Some
of the Northern States had provision
for taking the vote of soldiers in the field
and they either voted at home not at all.
In Wisconsin 1858 votes for Lincoln and
1879 for Mcclellan were rejected for in
formality, leaving to be counted 245S for
Mcclellan and 11,372 for Lincoln. In Ver-
mont large army vote was returned too
late to be counted. The Kansas soldiers
vote was SAB for Mcclellan and 2.S67 for
Lincoln, but it was received too late to be
counted, and is not included in the above
statement of aggregates. Soldiers in the
field are always by a large majority for
the party that is prosecuting the war.

THE MAJORITY OPINION.
View Taken by Judges McCabe, How
ard and Hackney.

ard and Hackney
The majority opinion in the Appellate
Court case as concurred in by Judges Nc
Cabe. Howard and Hackney is as follows:
This was an action brought by the rela-
tors in the name of the State for writ of
mandamus to require the appellees, who
constitute the State Board of Election
Commissioners. to place upon the official
ton held in November. 1888, the names of
the realtors as candidates for judges OF the
Appellate Court.
In the complaint and alternate writ issued
thereunder. it is shown that the REALTORS are
each eligible to the office of appellate Judge,
that each was duly nominated thereto, and
such nomination properly certified TO the
State Board of Election Commissioners, but
that said board refused to place the names
of the REALTORS. upon the official ballot
to be elected at said election. To the COM
plant ard alternative writ the appellees
demurred for want of sufficient facts. and
this demurrer was sustained by the court
Judgment was thereupon rendered. denying
the peremptory writ, and for costs against
the REALTORS.
As preliminary 10 a consideration of the
case upon it's merits, the appellees contend
that the complaint Is defective for the rea-
son that II discloses a joint action by the
REALTORS. whereas they have no joint or
common interest in the result
There IS no doubt that each of the rela-
tors is separately interested in the outcome
OF the action, inasmuch as each seeks cleo
ton for himself TO the office OF judge or the
Appellate Court. We think however. that
they have also a common interest in the
decision of the case. They all complain
ing of the one act of the Board of Election
Commissioners. who have refused to place
their names on the official ballot claiming
that there is no right TO fill the Office of
appellate judge at the ensuing general cleo
ton. This is the one actual. indivisible
issue brought before the court, and each
of the REALTORS Is equally Interested in the
decision of that issue. The separate inter-
ests of the REALTORS which follow and de-
pend upon the determination of this issue
are merely incidental and are not before
the court for any decision whatever. Is
there vacancy in the Office of the appellate
Judge, to be filled at the ensuing general
election. and should the election commits
sioneTs. therefore, place the names of the
REALTORS on the ballots as candidates for
that officer That lis the question for de-
cision, and 1t Is too plain for argument that

IF the American peace commissioners at
Paris stand squarely by the protocol as
they should. they will give no consideration
to any Spanish proposition regarding the
Cuban debt nor entertain it in any form
whatever. The subject is not mentioned in
the protocol at all. That instrument, which
outlined the terms of peace. said: Spain
viii renounce all claim to all sovereignty
over and all her rights over the Island of
Cuba. and will evacuate the island imme-
diately" The Cuban debt is an after
thought and an altogether impertinent sug-
gestion. Spain might as well ask the United
States to pay a cash price for Porto Rico
after having agreed in the protocol to cede
q Internationally.
