M'KINLEY'S AMERIcANISM.
EngIishmen Do Not Enthuse Over the
Promise of His Re-
election.

London, June % Copyright, 1900.
by the New York Tribune). If there
be any doubt in the United States
respecting English opinion of McKin-
ley and republican politics, it may
be dispelled by the reticence of the
London and provincial press respect
ing the work of the Philadelphia con-
vention. There are few comments on
it, and such as there are have a per-
functory sound. These are not euIo-
gfes of Mckinley, and the republican
party is not embarrassed by English
patronage or fiattery. The party
platform is described as moderate and
the nominations as good as the cir
cumstances permitted. The nearest
approach to compliment is the Spec
tator's remark that Mckinley is pos
siblv too much of a politician, but
that he has won and receives inter.
national respect.
The English press is preoccupied
with affairs in South Africa and China,
and has no space in reserve for a
trivial incident in Anglo-Saxon his
ident by nation of s0,0o00oO. More
over, there are no illusions here re
speeding either President Mckinley or
the republican party. Both are
known to be downright American and
not in any sense English. President
Mckinley is not suspected of having
ever made an apology for introducing
the tariff bill which bore his name.
and the party which renominated
him, so far from repudiating protec-
tionism, has reaffirmed it and added
to it subsidies for American ship
ping.
Nobody in England ever speaks of
Mckinley as anything but an uncom-
promising champion of American
ideas and politics. Hence his renom-
ination is received here without en-
thusiasm and with quiet reserve, as
possibly not the best choice, but one
which divides the republican party
least
