The Verdict.
1t is still said that the para
mount issue of the presidential cam
paign will be the reelection Of Will
liam Mckinley. is William still a
saint? Have not some of the expos
ures OF the war with Spain, and some
OF the more recent startling revela-
lions, done good deal to dim the
Mckinley halo? Or will the people
be satisfied with the assurance that
the cabinet is diurnally considering
the post office frauds with great gray
ity and that the president is still a
dear sweet man Cincinnati En-.

In paper on political reform in Cen
fury, Gov. Roosevelt advises reformers
TN. o.r... to disregard fanat-
los. ut is VITAL"
osnicism' says he, that every
nan who Is In politics, aa man ought
TO be, with tistnterested purpose to
serve the pubic, should strive stead
lily to reform, the:t he should have the
highest ideals. He must lead, only he
must lead in the right direction, and
normally he must be In sight of his fol-
lowers. Cynicism in public life is a
curse, and when man has lost the
power of enthusiasm for Righteousness,
it will be better for him and the coun-
try If he abandon public life. Above
all, the political reformer must not
permit himself to be driven from his
duty Of supporting what is right by
any irritation at the men who, while
nominaily supporting the same OBJ
jects, and even ridiculing him as back
slider or an 'opportunist,' yet by their
levity or fanaticism do damage to the
cause which he really serves, and which
they profess TO serve. Let him disre-
gard them; for though they are, ac-
cording to their ability, the foes OF
decent politics, yet, after all, they are
but weaklings, and the real and dan
gerous enemies Of the cause he holds
dear are those sinister beings who bat
ten on the evil Of our political system,
and both profit by It's existence, and
by their own existence tend to perpet.
uate and increase 1t. We must not be
diverted from our warfare with these
powerful and efficient oorruptionist.
by irritation at the vain prattlers who
think they are at the head of the re.
form forces, whereas they are really
wandering in bypaths in the rear"

Morning Post.

Louisville, KY, May 24.-Senator-elect
Blackburn today caused q panic In the
ranks OF the Goebelites by sending from
Washington a signed statement to Ken
tucky demanding an extra session Of
the legislature, the repeal of the Goebel
election law, and a complete change In
the party rules. In part, he said:
THE present election law was passed
to prevent Republican frauds through
the mediation of the county judges and
other election officers appointed by them !:
not, as some charge. to enable the Dem
ocrats to steal the election. II has failed
OF Its purpose, as Is shown by the vote
on fnal account at the last election. Is
any one so bigoted that he would refuse
Trainer could not fully anticipate all the
schemes and wiles of the ever-active
agencies of force and fraud? Election
laws are never nerfect, and must be con-
stantly changed to meet emergencies as
they arise.
1.-THE convention should, therefore, de-
clare for an amendment to the present
election law so as to give to each of
the two leading political parties major
ity and minority representation, upon
both the State and county boards Of cleo
ton commissioners and an equal division
Of election officers at each voting pre-
cinct, such precinct officers to be chosen
and appointed by the county boards Of
election commissioners from list to be
furnished by each respective party and
the law should be safe guarded with
fines, penalties and otherwise as to pro-
tect both the election officers and the
voter from force, fraud, corruption and
intimidation by corporations and en-
ployers Of labor, also the militia Of the
State, the ploce force of cities and
towns and all other public functionaries.

the same.
"As auxiliary to this. and in order that
the members Of the party. who are the
people. may be satisfied with the action
taken nv it's representatives for the pur
pose Of local self-government, the con-
vention should provide that rnles be
