A SECOND TERM

Not since The days of Grant has a
of the United States been
permitted to succeed himself and it is
believed that Mr.. Grant would have
met defeat had it not been for the war
sentiment at that time SO strongly pre-
vailing. But that is neither here nor
there. The question now to be decld-
ed Is whether the present occupant OF
the presidential chair will be. his own
successor? The Republicans decided
directly after his election il 1886 to put
him up again, but they did not at that
time count on what the future would
bring forth. For awhile it was believed
that Mr.. Mckinley would succeed
himself, or rather such was the bellef
of many people, but recently g change
has taken place and even the maker OF
presidents, Mark Hanna, admits that
to place his man in the White House
again will require a large campaign
fund. The war in the Philippines, the
tariff bill for Porto Rico and numer-
GUS other blunders are strewn along
the pathway that Mr. Mckinley will
have to trod before he can again be-
come the ruler over so, 700, 900 people.
All through the North and West,
where the Republican party must
necessarily look for support, there has
been a revolt that cannot be laughed
Or frowned aside. Republicans from
| principle and not for revenue, are con-
demnIpg the administration openly for
it's narrow policy and election day will
open the eyes of many who now close
them to the facts as they exist.
Another factor that generally has to
be reckoned with is the distribution OF
Offices. When one takes into account
the number of Federal. officers in the
United States he finds a body of men
who number up in the thousands and
whose influence is felt in every city,
county and town in the Union. If Mr..
Mckinley decides to retain in office
those he has appointed since bis in.
auguration in 1897 he will have to fig
| ure on how to control the dozen OF
more whom he disappointed. And il
| he makes it known that no man now
holding Office need expect further ia
vors at his hands, he will have thai
army heretofore mentioned, to appease
all of which will be an undertaking
beyond the ability of any living hui
man.
All in all, Mr.. Hanna and MI. Nc
Kinley are facing an undertaking o
no small proportion. Loaded dow
with trusts, the gold standard and hun
dreds of other measures CALLING to th'
voters who earn their bread by tn
sweat of the brow, the outlook for Re
publican success is far from satisfae
tory. Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Harri
son were denied second terms and a
indications point to MI. McKinle
meeting a like fate.
The next President must and wi
be a Democrat.
