II do not know how it is with the Catho-

NcKjNLEY AND ROOSEVELT.

Today President Mckinley was unanl-
mously renominated for the high office
he has filed with such credit to himself
and the country, and Governor Roose-
Welt was named for second place on the
ticket.
Though a number of vice-presidential
candidates were in the field, their cam
paigns were all contingent upo the alb
solute refusal of Roosevelt to accept the
nomination.
Roosevelt was the unanimous choice of
all. though for a time he steadfastly en-
deavored to evade a nomination.
Finally. in an irresistible burst of en-
thusiasm he received every vote in the
convention. with the exception of his
own.
"A stronger ticket in it's entirety was
never nominated by the republican
party.
Usually it can be said of a presidential
ticket that the, vice presidential nominee
possesses less positive strength before
the people than the head of the ticket.
1T is extremely difficult to place two
men before the public for the suffrages
of the nation where such a condition does
not exist.
In 1896 Hobart brought but little
strength to Mckinley, n Sewell
brought still less to the candidacy of
Bryan.
But Roosevelt, who would lave been
nominated for first place had not the
logic of the situation pointed to the pres
ent incumbent of the white house as the
stronger and more available man, brings
to the republican campaign of this year a
whirlwind of popular support.
His anne on the ticket takes New
York out of the doubtful column, and en-
sures to the republican party the cleo
toral vote of the empire state.
With standard bearers like Mckinley
and Roosevelt, republican enthusiasm
will climb to fever heights, and from this
time till the close of the polls every
member of the party will prove himself
an active worker for success.
The cradle of the republican party
the fine old Quaker city of the keystone
state-has given to the citizens of this
republic a national ticket that is pre-,
eminent in it's strength and ability, ant
which will give rise to a tidal wave o
popular applause from ocean to ocean.
Nc and Teddy will sweep the field.
