Never was there ticket SO free from
allegiance or obligation to any faction
denoting better the dominant PARTISAN
ship and the universal genius of the
country.
Mckinley and Roosevelt must win in
the natural order of America events.
But the struggle to elect the ticket, on
the party of the Republicans and ont
siders who approve the foremost
Republicans principles, should be
carried on with earnestness and energy
that would fit a cause of desperation.

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET
New York Sun

New York Sun
The twelfth Republican national con-
vention has been all harmony, enthusi-
asm, unanimity Mckinley is not the
first president of this age to be renomi-
mated practically by reclamation, but
during his four years in the white house
there has risen no anti-administration
party nothing of that kind has been
seriously attempted or, SO far as the po-
,litically initiated confess, has it been
considered. At Philadelphia there
was no hostile faction marching sullen-
ly with the friendly delegates because
opposition was hopeless, and in this
happy respect President Mckinley has
not had predecessor.
The denomination is fully earned.
During a strain of war and political
evolution the like of which the country
experienced but once before, McKin-
lev as the national executive has at no
moment stood with the doubters or the
pessimists He has shirked no duty of
the moment because it was forbidding
or novel He has never once sought
refuge in the ever open shelter of anti
expansion argument that for many of
the administrations determining acts
in the progress of expansion there were
no presidents. He has gone ahead on
the path of our manifest destiny with
out FLOURISH. with cautious tongue,
but with an unfaltering foot, until to-
day the United States are greater in
truth and in the estimation of the world
than ever before, and the Republican
party is not only hopeful, but wholly
convinced of the wisdom and patriotism
of the canvass about to he made in
McKinley's name.
The first man to be nominated for
vice-president, though. by like out
pouring of party sentiment, is Theodore
Roosevelt. Even if the second Nc
Kinley term should close Roosevelt's
career in politics, he would have had
reward enough for public service
through lifetime. No man ever re-
ceived SO stunning a tribute of popular
approval as Roosevelt received in the
persistent and at last triumphant de-
mand that he should be the candidate
for vice president. The bosses who
scare political kindergartens with Wis
ions of their absolute and awful domi-
nation in public affairs were chips on
the stream of the irresistible sentiment
for Roosevelt, Unsuitable until it got
him.
Roosevelt brings TO the ticket the
fresh air of youth and youths convic-
tions, all sound, healthy and patriotic,
he being strong for the policy already
mapped out by the administration, yet
of an individuality that of itself awakes
respect and commands its own support.

Alcock was a man of singular foresight
and ability, and his ambitions for the

brought him frequently into conflict with
the home government, who regarded him
as extreme in his views. His strong
views of diplomacy. which led him to
consider rather the establishment Of

him also a certain amount Of unpopular

great advantage in dealing with the Chi
