The Georgetown Times thinks 1t is

will never have a chance to tell the

II ever a man has had TO fight his

stride forward, but every inch OF this
way has been honestly won, aud today
in the hour OF his triumph Goebel can

Atlanta Constitution.
William Mckinley Is the weakest OF
American presidents since Jas. Buch-
anau. Avoidance Of responsibility,
timidity, the complete domination OF
politics and an opportunism that has
made anything like a definite policy
impossible have thus far been the
marks of William McKinley's admins
tration. Whether or not the people
like this sort of administration will be
seen next year, but it is entirely safe TO
say that without the aid Of the patriot
ic impulse which has been aroused by
the war Mr.. Mckinley would have
found himself not only the weakest but
the most unpopular OF presidents.-
