INT REPUBLICAN NOMINEES.

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEES.
After the most feryid eloquence Of
the leading orators Of the nation,
after an outburst of enthusiasm that
knew no bounds, William Mckinley
was unanimously chosen Mt Phila-
delphia last week to succeed himself
rs president of the United States.
There ave was any doubt about
this result. His denomination had
been conceded for months past. The
chosen delegates Of the people had
only to register the popular will.
So potent vas this silent force from
all parts OF the nation that the vHri-
ancc oi one vote would have been re-
garded ms an net uf treason. No
man since the immortal Lincoln has
taken such IA strong hold on the
hearts of the people, no man better
typities all that is good and great in
our American institutions. Person
ally pure, modest, able, sincere and
patriotic, he stands today the high
est type of our citizenship. What he
has achieved for the welfare Ct his
country and what remains for him
To do will be written high upon the
scroll Of fame. A soldier boy OF 81
who slept with his heart on the
dag, member Of congress from Ohio,
winning fame ~ u debater and for
his connection with n great eco
homie measure. governor of his ma
tive state and president Of the I'nitcd
states he has acted every part nobly
and Won the universal regard OF his
cOuntrymen though party ties may
grudgingly accord him the full need
OF praise.
What has been accomplished since
William McKinly became president OF
the United States is a part Of the
knowledge OF all; it is something seen
and felt 10y every American citizen,
While M one claims that the presi-
dent and his workers have
brought about all the prosperity we
now enjoy. reasonable men must ad-
nit that they have been great factors
working ia harmony with other
agencies. Wise policies have n great
deal to do In making "a nation pros
porous. Where doubt and fear pre-
walls il cannot exist. Ii matters not
how bounteously nature performs
her part, men who use her forces
must be wise. conservative, cautious
and honest. In not quite three and
II hall years, under Republican rule,
with William Mckinley AT the helm,
the country has recovered from the
greatest financial and industrial de.
preston the young republic ever ex.
p%ericnccd, To IA condition Of prOspcri,
~ never before cqualled. There is
not a murmur Of discomfort or dis.
satisfaction anywhere, save with the
politicians who want office and the
anarchists who expect something fUI
nothing.
With such n leader the Republican
party goes before the country agniu
confident OF victory Mt the polls
Every voter who has his own nnt
the interests OF his country at heart
will aid in making prosperity sccur,
by voting for William Mckinley tC
succeed himself as president of thC
United States.
For second place the party called
for Theodore Roosevelt and he hat
to respond. There We're other goOt
men for the place, but al! eyes ant
hearts turned toward the impetuous
dashing trough rider" the hero o
san Juan hill. IL was his desire {,
again serve the people of New Iorl
as their governor, believing thnt h
could do the party more good IL
that capacity. end he has an ambi
ton to he the presidential nomine'
four years hence and for IA man o
action he feared the office of vice
president would iniure his chance
But he could not withstand the ap
peal that came from every state IL
the Union: A true Republican and
true man, he bowed to the inevitabl
and his nomination was made b.
acclamatiOn.
No stronger ticket vas ever place,
! before the American people for thei
%suffrages. Should President MrKir
ley die In office he would he succeede
by n man whose ability nnd steI
! ling integrity has been thorough,
? tested. II who enjoys theconidenc
: and esteem Of the American people t
n high degree.
With two such candidates-one
soldier OF 81 and the other n soldic
: OF '9S; both men Of exalted chnracte
{ and tried craftsmanship, the Repul
| llcan party goes forth To- battle, con
{ iident that victory will perch upoI
their banner IN the 9Th day of mex
November.
