The Coming Campaign.

The presidential candidates on the
two tickets are today toregone conclu-
sions-McKinley and Bryan. The lat
ter has been nominated by the Fusion
Populists a1d will certainly b. named
by the Democracy. The Populist Sc
lected congressman Towne for vice
president and strong effort will be
made to secure his endorsement like
wise BY the democrats; this we deem TO
be doubtful but not impossible.
AS to President McKlnlev's running
mate, no one as yet has been centred
upon by the press or by the leaders,
1t Is too early to form an idea OF the
probable attitude of the eastern or gold
wing Of the democracy; whether other
and newer Issues will supplant that OF
silver and bring about the reunion OF
the two factions that we're 80 wide
asundsred in 1896, or whether it will
likely be the same fight over with the
same division in the party.
1t is yet too early to determine
whether expansion and imperialism as
the foreign policy of the present admin
islration is named, will weaken or
strengthen the republican party; that
it will both cost it support and bring 1t
support we are certain, but which to
the greater extent it is at present In
possible Of determination.
That the coming campaign however
will bring about discussion of new,
interesting and momentous questions
is as certain as is the coming OF the
time and the voter who has an interest
in his countly's affairs should prepare
himself to decide these new questions
without reference to the past and It's
issues, now settled, or overshadowed by
those awaiting solution.
