spoke eloquently Of the necessity of re

toast ''The duty Of the election district

talking about the loyalty OF black re-
publicans as thing belonging to the

most loyal Of all classes of republicans
because they were the most truly Ameri.

uDLNOCRAIS REJLCI NV YORk."

Immediately following the Phila-
delphiu convention the Chicago
Times Herald, which Is pretty close
TO the administration, in n leading
editorial, warned Republicans that
by the action Of the convention in
nominating Theodore Roosevelt for
vlcc-prcsidcnt, the party would have
to figure ON carrying tie election
without the ELECTORAL vote of New
York state. II wns Editor Kohl
sant's opinion that Roosevelt would
do the party more good a. a candi-
date for governor than MS the vice
presidential nominee and he was
doubtless chugrincd to some extent
Mt the action al the convention in not
needing his advice. lie evidently al
so believed that silver would not he
reailirmcd at Kansas City aud that
n New York man would be placed on
the ticket with Bryan. The Times
Herald now :akes Il different view OF
the situation. As the Helena indie
pendent and our contemporary, the
Democrat, published Mr.. kOhlsaat's
editorial in the first instance, we
trust they will not overlook the one
following the Kansas City conven-
ton. For fear they may we give ii
below, under the above caption:
with the mad faulty that courts
destruction. the Democratic conven-
ton at Kansas City has rejected the
party's only chance o, electing a
president this year. That chance
lay in accepting the opening present
ed by the Republican party when ii
removed Theodore Roosevelt from
the sphere OF his usefulness to New
York and nominated him for vice
president. As the Times Herald said,
that act made New York a doubtful
battle ground. where the Republicans
must face the possibility OF defeat
and be prepared to make good the
loss OF its thirty-six electoral votes
by winning Others In the western
states.
THE warning note was re-echoed
In the Press, OF New York City, and
by Republican newspapers in the In
terror of the state, where it was un-
derstUod, in the language OF the Syr-
acuso Post Standard, that 'ull the

"But these antlcipntions OF n

all based ON the suppositiOn that the
