ber is the son Of the War Governor Of illinois,
and is very popular. The National ticket Is the
strongest ever put forth by the republicans. The
dignfed and conservative Mckinley, coupled
with the wholesome dash and daring Of Roose-

be especially strong in the West. Win? Why,
Of course they will win, and by the biggest ma
tority this country has ever known. That means
four years more Of prosperity, and We people Of
the West are beginning TO appreciate all there

Well, just you walt until the November cleo

The Revolt in China Forces
This Government Into
Old World Politics "A
Years Progress.

This, the closing year of the nine
teenth century, has been remarkable
in many respects. To no country in
the world has it brought more of
advancement than the United States.
Though this country has been what
might be termed a latent world
power for half century the events
of the past two or three years, and
of 1900 particularly, have had the
effect of bringing that great reserve
force into active existence. 1882
The prosperity of the country was
never SO great nor general before.
Great strides have been made in
every department of industry and the
products of the United States arc
meeting with favor in every market
of the world.
The Boxer revolt in China fur
nished the opportunity for this gov
eminent to assert itself among the
nations of the world, and the ad-
vent into world politics has met with
f1attering success. The trouble in
China, which more than once seemed
to threaten the peace of the world,
has been brought near a satisfac-
tory settlement largely through the
cool, clear-headed and absolutely
fair course pursued by this govern
ment in the matter.
The conditions in most of the new
territories acquired under the treaty
of Paris are gradually assuming
satisfactory shape. Expansion has
proved a success.
Here in the United States a ma
tlonal election has taken place and
the people have expressed their sat
lsfactlon with the present admins
tration. William Mckinley will be
President for another four years, and
tor the next two years at least will
have a Congress of the same politi-
cal faith as his own.
Altogether the fortunes of this re-
public were never in so high state
as they are at present.

OIL SILVER.
Senator Hanna ON the Stump.
Senator Hanna took the stump and made
several tours through the democratic
stronghold in the west, using his celebrated
full dinner pail Illustration as his argu-
ment. He and other prominent republican
speakers also strongly denounced the APP
peals to class prejudice which the demo-
cratic orators had resorted to to consid-
cradle extent during the later days Of the
campaign.
Looking backward in the light of the re-
suits 1t would seem that the prosperity
argument was the strongest one advanced
by the republicans. For, strange to say,
MT Mckinley's gains were creates. in
those sections in which Mr.. Bryan was
strongest in 1896, and, vice versa, Mr.
Bryan's gains were all in strong republican
states.
There was a marked difference in the
management OF the two parties. The re-
pubiicans had most thorough organiza-
ton and relied on business methods
and hard, persistent work among the
voters, while the democrats seemed to rely
almost wholly on the magnetic oratory Of
Mr.: Bryan to pull him through.
There was a marked contrast between
this campaign and that of 1885, so far as
popular interest was concerned. 1t is true
that both Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Roosevelt
were able to attract large and enthusiastic
audiences to their meetings, but, these
over, all this enthusiasm seemed to we ne
at once. There were no such scenes wit
messed in the streets of the large cities
as in 1895, when great crowds Of men
could be seen on almost every street cor
ner holly discussing the silver question.
Indeed, the republican managers, If they
ever had any uneasiness as to the results,
were only alarmed at this apparent mani
festation of general apathy.
President Mckinley carried all the states
which gave him their electoral votes iii
1896, and Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming and
South Dakota besides. The republicans
will have a larger majority in the next
House than in that elected in 1898, and
the prospects in states which elect United
States senator's are favorable
