government of our newly acquired ter
ritories. The question is not involved
in any more difficulties than were sue
cessfully disposed of in the settlement
of issues bearing upon the regulation
of previously acquired territory. In the
solution of these complicated and grave
questions the experience and knOwl-

MKINLEY'S STRONG QUALITIES.
President Mckinley has had long
and remarkable experience in public
affairs. His familiarity with the tariff
and the commercial conditions of the
country and the recent questions of in
ternational character give him an
equipment unsurpassed by any other
American. He possesses an executive
capacity of a high order and tact and
acumen, as the result of long practical
political training. The best evidence
of these qualities is shown by the fact
that, unlike many other presidents,
he has his party unanimously at his
back, undivided by serious dissension
and retaining its supremacy in the
country when most administrations
have found their party in the minority
in the middle OF presidential term,
at least in the house of representatives.
"ln Pennsylvania Mckinley has
deep rooted strength with the mass of
the people. That strength has been
steadily increasing Everything points
TO a hard struggle and an ultimate Re-
publican victory in the next presi
Dental campaign. There can be but
one Republican candidate considered
and that is Mckinley. His candidacy
will he the logical consequence of the
wonderful prosperity afeaay acquired
and the glorious possibilities within
our reach. The country will need his
tried craftsmanship in meeting the
great issues of the future. With Me-
kinley reelected and a Republican
majority in congress our people can be
assured of the realization of the splen-
did career opening before us.
Il have been in contact with repre-
sentative Republicans from every sec
ton of our state, and have found but
one sentiment. and that is in favor Of
the denomination OF the president.

in favor of President McKinley's re-
nomination. As a matter OF fact.
