tul delegates to the Philadelphia Con-
vention. The Great West must be
reekoned with and Col. Torrey is typi
cal of the breadth, generosity and
sturdy characteristics of that thriving
section of our land.
Judge Torrey has long been nearly
as we'll known in the Capital City as
in his Western home, and is thorough.
ly familiar with public affairs and
public men. His extensive public ex-
perience, his record at the bar and his
recent conspicuous service in the
Spanish American war as the Colonel
commanding the Second U. S, Volun.
teer Cavalry, better known as the
"Torrey Rough Riders" have led to
the suggestion of his name for nomina.
tion by the republican party as Vice
President Of the United States, and the
suggestion now offered in the form of a |
motion, seems likely to be passed by a
large majority.
Col' Torrey is sound on the question
Of human rights, and has always con-
tended for the equality of all eitizers in |
.n' enjoyment of privileges guaranteed
oy the Constitution and laws.
If Col. Torrey is nominated, as he
should be, he will be tower of strength

Pacific Railroad Indebtedness.
The settlement Of the Pacific Railroad
indebtedness Is also to be ranked rs one
Of the greatest achievements of Presi-
dent McKinley's administration. This
Indebtedness had for years been a sub
ject of fruitless endeayor; all efforts,
either by Congress or the executive de-
partments prior to 1897, were OF little
avail in protecting the governments in
terest in these roads; in fact, there were
grave doubts whether the government
would succeed in being reimbursed, even
in part, the vast sum expended by the
United States in aid Of their construction.
Yet the Mckinley administration, by
firm and business-like course, achieved
great success.
