ITS NAME DOESN'T SIGNIFY.

There were no insurgents in the
Ohio Republican convention. That
fact was adequately demonstrated by
the wild and tumultuous cheering in
dulged in by the delegates composed
largely of feeders at the administra-
ton pie counter, and of those as
'opes to be-" to borrow from Mr.
Weller's vocabulary-when the boss
appeared on the platform. And when
the leader of the Republican party
rose in response to the demands of
his boisterous parasites to make a
speech, there was no fibrous growth
in his voice to make him stutter in
his unqualified Endorsement of i'm
perialism and the trusts.
II do not care whether you call it
imperialism or expansion" he told his
henchmen. "The destiny Of this coun-
try is written, and any party, or COM
bination of men, that attempts by
subterfuge or makeshifts in politics
to- stop the power and progress of this
nation, will go down under it just as
the Democratic party has gone down."
Observe how glibly the boss made
use of the phrase "subterfuge or
makeshifts in politics." as if it indi-

Expansion" 1t is his policy and he
has determined to have it carried out
by electing Mr.. Mckinley, so that the
process of benevolent assimilation"
can be consummated for the enrich
ment of the syndicates, for the fat
tening of carpet-baggers, for the
slaughter of our soldiers by bullets
and disease, for the spoliation of the
tax payers, for the establishment of
large standing army, for the loot

There are other questions which will
cut some figure in the campaign, but
these three will demand the largest
share of public attention. Men differ
as to their relative Importance, but
they are all important. The currency
bill, which is now law, has revealed
the party's love for the gold standard
and it's hypocrisy in pretending to ia
vor international bimetallism. That
bill has also received the Republican
plan to retire the greenbacks and
turn over the control of the paper
money to the. national banks. The
inaction of the administration on the
trust question shows that the Repub-
licans are insincere in their prom
ises to destroy the trusts, while the
Porto Rican bill reveals the imperial
sstic purposes of the Republican lead
ers. The Republicans do not now
dare to unfold their plans. The
Spooner resolution proposes that
when the war is over the president
shall establish a government which
is to stand till congress acts in the
