SOlJTH WOODSTOCK,

IL Is beginning TO be quite dry for SC
early In the season.
All is quiet along the lines since the
great caucus Of last Friday and We hope
that no III feelings viii be held among

prevalent In this neighborhood, but we
hope Il IL on the wsne.
The steel range stove men have made
us call with their mule team, and We
hope II will be the last one for some

closer than 8 brother, but We certainly
have never seen anything in this world
thst will stick quite so close as these
stove men. When a man says no, II
should be sufficient, but il Is not so with
the stove men. They need very short
answer and one to the point.

Mckinley AND RoossvsLI.

The Republican national convention at
Philsdelphis last week re-nominsted
william Mckinley for president and
Theodore Roosevelt Of New York for
yice-president. That Roosevelt did not
desire the nomination is undoubtedly
the fact, bat the popular demand was
altogether too great 10 be resisted. The
record Of the Mckinley administration.
both In the matters which were antici-
pated and those wholly new and unfore-
seen problems forced upon il by the
logic Of circumstances, has been such
that no question Of Mekinley's nomins-
ton has ever been raised. As concerns
Roosevelt, In all his career, before, dur
ing and after the Spanish war, he has
demonstrated that he possesses just the
qualities demanded Of the chief executive
of this nation, and that he would make a
president In whose hands the country
would be safe, il he should be called TO
that position. No stronger ticket could
have been nominated, nor one which
would have commanded wider support.
On the first page Of this paper Is given
q summary Of the proceedings Of the
philadelphia convention, with the plat
form adopted in full, and q necessarily
condensed report Of the doings Of the
convention.
