THE PRESIDENT INDICATED.

n politics the Examiner is unprlnclpled as any
newspaper in the United States. 1t prefers false
conjectures to any semblance of fact. It's treach
cries to the party it nominaly espouses have been in
Vulnerable It's attacks upon the Republican party
are destitute OF any trace OF honor 1t has professed
to be a rampant opponent of the railroad. From the
beginning of the Senatorial contest at Sacramento
the present moment he who runs can read, it has
acted in harmony with the railroad conspiracy to de-
stroy Republican ascendency in this State and in the
most underhanded and sneaking manner has done all
in its power to advance the interests Of Dan Burns
On Wednesday last it opened its battery Of false
hood against President Mckinley by charging that,
with Senator Hanna as his engineer and using the
National Republican Committee as the instrumental
ity he had commenced an intrigue for his re
election This statement the Examiner must have
known to be a lie. Even though Mr.. Mckinley were
a Republican Machiavei his intelligence would save
him from premature scheme to control the National
Republican Convention of 1900 the disclosure OF
which would concentrate against him all the aspiring
statesmen in the Republican party and would also ex-
cite popular animosity But there has been nothing
in the life OF Mr. Mckinley, before or since his cleo
ton to the Presidency, indicate that he would
his official position to secure reelection that he
has any personal desire to succeed himself Peculiar
combinations OF circumstances, especially resplendent
services to the country have compelled several Of our
Presidents to serve for two consecutive terms but
apart from partisan inventions there is no instance
so far as we are apprised Of such political degrada-
ton constitutes the only pretension OF Dan Burns
to Federal Senatorship having received Presidential
sanction Washington reluctantly sacrificed the rest
and peace he had so hardly earned and which might
have prolonged his invaluable life, to the universal
demand of his country In every subsequent instance
OF second term Immediately following the first the
nomination and election responded an irresistible
pressure President Lincoln. after having led the
great struggle for the maintenance OF the Union,
could not have avoided reelection and he became
martyr to duty in double sense. President Grant
was carried into second term by nvincible pres
tige. President Cleveland destroyed his chance for
reelection his own successor by firm adherence
to political opinions, which commanded the respect
while invoking the successful opposition of the Re
publican party and it was only through temporary
reaction that he succeeded in defeating Benjamin
Harrison and, for second term became President of
the United States
We repeat that in American history there is
no precedent for the foul libel that the Examiner has
