In other words, should the United States

Rough on Mckinley.

Kansas City Times.
The several republican factions in New
York have come together in harmony on
Colonel Roosevelt for governor. BY doing
that the leaders gave President Mckinley
slap right between the eyes, which ne
will have TO grin and bear the best he can.
In view of Rooseyelts triumph over the
administration political machine, il would
seem that the presidents organs would go
slow hereafter in abusing democrats for
demanding searching investigation OF the
conduct OF the war. which means from the
president down. Certainly the president and
MS organs have not forgotten that it was
Colonel Roosevelt WAC instigated the ia
nous round robin" which made the first
important disclosure OF the rottenne:s and
inefielency OF Secretary Alger, and which
threw more than one shadow over the pres
ident himself.
SO. in nominating Colonel Roosevelt for
goVernor, the republicans viii officially in
dofse al the mean things that the Rough
Rider aas said about Alger, which is in
reality, the equivalent OF repudiating tie
president, for the president stands b. AL
ger IN tAs face and eyes OF Rooseyelts
charges OF corruption, ineompstency and
almost criminal neglect OF duties. Roose-
Welt is sure to stump the State. ana he is
sure to make the nighttime ) Of tn RouEh
Riders including himself. and the dlsgraca-
iui conduct of the wer by the Washington
end OF the conflict, rae chief themes. l.
Is quite true that tae democratic news
papers have been, and are stlll, vehement
70 their demand for an impartial ami thor
ough investigation of Mckinley and All tho
other responsible officials for the wretched
ana inhumaa treatment OF the army in ana
cut OF camp, And Il is also true that the
atmocratic newspapers acknowledge their
oohgatious to Colonel Roosevelt for uuiling
Gown toe blinds OF the war oliic. so they
might see thar things were fully as bad
as 'he Aoegh Rider said they were. II
ne president asd the war Secretary were
sensitive men they would regard Roose
veits nomination for governor Of New
fork by the republican party a personal
rebuke TO themselves.
