POLITICAL PURPOSES.
Says McKinlcy's Trip Was a Political
Device.

New York, Oct, lS.-The Journal
says that McKinley's tour of the west
has been in 'every sense OF the phrase
an electiOneering device"
"He has not" it says, confined
himself, like some of his predecessors,
to graceful non-partisan addresses.
but instead his speeches have been
frankly political, eulogizing his ad-
ministratiOn aud defending it at all
points from political attacks.
what is still more discreditable, "
says the Journal, sis that the presi-
dent should have taken advantage of
his power to keep Mr.. Bryan from all
political activity while tue presi-
Dental stumping tour was in pro-
gress, when he knows of what in
portance it is to Mr.. Bryan that
Nebraska be carried by the Demo-
Gratis.
"Was it them" asks the Journal,
"the part Of political decency that
the president should order Colonel
Bryan to his camp in Florida and
straightway 60 TO stump Nebraska
against him?n

criticisms Of the Santiago campaign,
even if the Topeka Capital does call

policy in unmeasured terms. Rich.
ard Harding Davis and Caspar
Whitney, two Of the most reputable
writers of this country, were at San

of those two magazines, and they

unhesitatingly denounce Shafter as

For the benefit of the Monitor

For the benefit of the Monitor
Press and other Republican papers
the VOICE would state that all the
stories and purported interviews
from Hon. j. D. Botkin concerning
Algerism pro and con are fakes.
He has never given any public crit
icism or commentator of Alger or
his subordinates. He had the per-
sonal promise of President McKin-
ley that his son Ralph should be
mustered into the service, Ralph
was enrolled and with patience
sustained by indomitable patriotism
went through the camp experience
hoping that he would get into the
active service. The spirit was will
ing if the flesh was weak. The fact
that Ralph has not been mustered
in was no fault Of either Ralph or
his father. The taking advantage of
this technical point to prejudice
people politically is unworthy Of a
party which counts itself good
enough to call others cooper,
