The election of Hon. Ben L. Cable
as one of the delegates at large to the
national convention was another COM
pliment, not only to the man, but to
Rock Island county as well, aud shows
that the former congressman main
tains this popularity in the party
throughout the state. The choice Of
c. b. Marshall, also of Rcc& Island,
as a delegate to the Kansas City con-
vention proved another honor worth
ilv bestowed and deserved.

Nor was Matt's big brother, Will
liam McEniry, lost sight of in the
preliminary skirmishes, or all
that has happened so far, for
that matter. In the first caucus held
by the Rock Island county delegation
on it's arrival in Springfield the Rock
Island McEniry was chosen the dele
cations member of the congressional
district steering committee. 1t was
all that was necessary to set William
to work in earnest, and later the
fruits of his labors were shown.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1900-06-27

The Bastians, of WhitesiGe, were
what might be termed ''rolled" in the
Tenth district caucus held this morn
ing in the adjutant generals Office at
the state capitol. Today's dispatches
from here to THE ARGUS have told in
outline what the caucus did, but how
some of it came about remains TO be
related. Throughout the Tenth dis
trict the Bastians have not been popu-
lar since their vicious and unwar-
ranted fight on Hon. Ben I. Gable
which they carried from the district
caucus to the convention two years
ago. Everybody who knows the Bas-
tians, either personally or by reputa-
tion. knows that they are scrapFers,
and if there is nothing to fight for
they fight for the sake of fighting.
After the choice of delegates to the
national convention. Anthony w. Bas-
tlan was presented for one of the
alternatcs, but a substitute was at
once offered that w. c. Green, also of
Whiteside, be the alternate. This
brought Bastian to his feet. He de-
clared that the choice of anyone but
himself from Whiteside would be an
insult to the county. Nevertheless,
the substitute was put by Chair
man johnson and carried. There
upon Bastian demanded roll
call on the vote. The chairman
said that he would be very
glad to have the roll called if proper
ly moved. There was a long sus-
pense and the chairman was about to
proceed with the caucus when Bastian
r-.,1 -, \
H. Mulligan said that the caucus
might as well give Mr.. Bastian the
satisfaction he desired. The roll call
was thereupon called with the result
that the So uostitute was again carried,
although Bastian attempted to vote
Whiteside county solid against it, but
protest brought a division of the
vote. There was some division in all
the ether counties except Rock Island,
which voted solidly for the substitute.
When it came to the committee on
resolutions Mr.. BIstian presented the
name of f. Z. Andrews, of Whiteside,
but Mr.. Marshall, of Rock Island,
offered as substitute the name of NJ.
j. McEniry. of Rock Island, and the
substitute carried.
Caleb Johnson, who is from Mr.. Bas-
tian's own county. was elected a
mem Der of the committee to select
delegates and alternates at large to
the national convention, and when
the caucus reached the point of se-
lecting the member of the committee
to choose presidential electors, Mr..
Bastian arose and said: 'As long as
there is no other evidence of recogni-
tion that can be denied Whiteside
county, l present the name of Jo-
seph Rice of Whiteside, for mem
Der of this committee" Whiteside
had been represented On the &C mmit-
tee previously provided for. and like
wise in the chairman of the caucus,

There is hope for Cuba. The cleo
tions are nov two weeks old, and no
revolution has followed on the part Of
the defeated parties, as is often, indeed
it might be said usually. the case
with the Central American elections.
There were three parties in the field, the
Nationalist. which had in it the strong
est military element and fayors Cuban
separate nationality; Gomez is its ideal;
the Democratic-U Union, a survival Of
the old Autonomist party. with conser-
vatives. and the Republican, which is
opposed to a continuance Of United
States rule or influence. The first was
successful in Havana and the other
large cities. reckoned as Cuban cities
go. while the Democratic Union partly
is said to have won in Santiago, where
no other party had candidates, and
the Republicans in Santa Clara and
Matanzas. The experiment of self
government is now on trial to certain
extent. and win be watched with in
terest. It was not a general cleo
ton.

PRESIDENT MKINLEY's RENoMI-
NATION.

Il seems but yesterday that William
Mckinley was nominated at St. Louis
30 glapple with treasury deficit and
to battle for currency reform under
the gold standard. His denomination
by acclamation at Philadelphia was
more than the recognition Of his sue
eessful administration along the lines
then foreseen. 1t was the tribute Of
his party's united admiration to the
manner in which he has risen TO the
unforeseen and perplexing demands Of
the presidency in two years Of severe
national trial in new paths.
When William Mckinley was nomi-
mated at St. Louis in June 1896. his
party associates and partisans had just
confidence in his capacity to meet every
demand likely to arise in our domestic
polity in the immediate future. His
training in congress and as governor
Of Ohio had rendered him familiar with
every political problem then before the
American people. and on many of them
he was a trusted authority. Foreign
affairs. much less a foreign war. were
NOT within the purview Of the enthus-
iastic convention that nominated VIII
liam Mckinley for his high character.
his personal popularity and acknow-
ledgea mastery Of the domestic and
social economy Of the United States.
If President Mckinley had no more
than fulfilled the expectation Of his
nomination it is probable that he
would have been renominated. But
the history of Republican national con-
ventions indicates a different conclu-
sion. The denomination Of Grant split
the party. The administration Of
Hayes deserved more than a verbal
Endorsement President Arthur deserv-
ed a denomination. which. if given.
would probably have saved the party
for the defeat Of 1884. President Har-
rison was entitled to a denomination
without the fight which weakened him
in the ensuing election.
Only some such exceptional circum-
stances as preceded the denomination
Of Abraham Lincoln in 1864 seem suffi-
cient to remove all the obstacles and
grievances of ambition and disappoint-
ment from the path to a unanimous
Republican denomination for the pres
idency The party possesses too many
aspiring SPIRITS to permit anything
short of national emergency or ex-

ceptional personal popularity to cause
l, 70 forget that there are only twenty
iive presidential terms In century and
life is iieetlng. The party recognizes
that il is not wiss to swap horses while
crossing a stream, but ii is not inclined
TO mistake a gentle spring shower for
swollen torrent
Without the Spanish war and all that
has come in its train il is doubtful
whether the Republican party would
have appreciated the sterling qualities
OF discretion and conservative strength
that have made the denomination Of
President Mckinley inevitable. Before
the first year OF his term was over the
Cuban question doomed into Importance
that augured trouble for his adminis-
tration unless the president met 1t with
a firm and comprehensive statesman
ship.
AS We now look back over the days
Of doubt that preceded the lnal rup-
ture with Spain it IS impossible not to
pay the tribute Of acknowledgement
that there was nothing said or done
by cur state department which. in view
Of all that has transpired since. we
would have said or done differently.
In all those trying negotiations that
led up to a seemingly inevitable breach
with Spain President Mckinley spoke
and acted as the embodiment of the
American viii that Spanish oppression,
Inisrule ard cruelty on this hemisphere
must cease.
And III the war that followed Spain's
mad failure TO read the edict Of hu-
manity President Mckinley proved so
thoroughly master of the military and
diplomatic resources OF our government
that We have been confused by the
swiftness and completeness Of our sue
cess. The war ended left US with more
on our hands than we bargained for.
We fought to free Cuba, and 10 we
found ourselves possessed Of islands in
two seas. guardians before the world
Of more than 100000 souls. untrain-
ed to government. maccustomed to
liberty and unfamiliar with our Ian
guage, laws and sense Of human rights
and justice.
In dealing with every phase Of this
novel and perplexing responsibility
President Mckinley has proven himself
so fully equal to its demands as to
win the plaudits not only of his fellow
Republicans. but Of the statesmen Of
Europe.
In only two material respects has he
seriously disappointed the expectation
Of his true friends. His order with
drawing thousands of positions from
the merit system. where he had said
there should be mo BACKWARD |
STEP" and his failure to adhere to |
his own first best view of OUR PLAIN |
DUTY" to Porto Rico are the palpable |
blemishes on an administration which |
has surprised and gratifed the AmerI-
can people with its manifold excel
eneies.
When the severe trials and sterling
achievements of the administration
Turing the past three years are con-
'idered It is not surprising that Presi-
lent Mckinley should have been re-
nominated without hint Of opposition
within his party.
