THE REPUBLICAN, STANDARD BEARERS.

William Mckinley and Theodore
Roosevelt are the standard bearers q
the republican party i'll the campaign OF
1900. Seldom, if ever, have president
and vice president been, as in the pres
emit instance, both nominated uuani-
mously and enthusiastically without the
presentation of any other name II
convention This unanimity is an omei
of an overwhelmingly successful cam
paign by the republican party to ot
guaranteed and assured by answering
loyalty, singleness of purpose and purlt>
of motive in every state of the Union.
including our own Wiscon in Our
National Committeeman. Henry G
Payne, is reported to have warned re-
publicans that the struggle for suprem-
acy would be most bitter and no walk
away national prejudices and antipa-
thies, religious bigotry and all the
unreasoning elements In man will be
appealed TO and famed into fame by
our d emocratic opponents. At least let
us have peace and harmony in our ranks
This cannot be secured by sincere adj
vances from one side oaly, nor by aspers-
ing the sincerity of those making such
advances Self respect imposes limit
to forbearance however genuine the
animating motive for harmony.
William Mckinley deservedly com
mands the respect of all republicans,
and ought to receive that of every Amer
lean. Tried by problems ii statesman
ship by which not even Lincoln was
tried, President Mckinley has unfalter-
ingly, and with unalloyed patriotism
faced those new Issues which war with
foreign peoples and the. unavoidable and
because inevitable logic of events have
placed in his hands for treatment and
decision Patriotic craftsmanship has
| characterized his every act We believe
that the large majority of the American
people will demand that he continue to
! hold tine reins of office and to maintain
that national policy which has secured
the respect of the civilized world.
Governor Roosevelt's nomination as
yicepresident gives immense strength
to the ticket He himself, vigorously
and TO the last opposed his own nomina-
ton, from unselfisn and praiseworthy
potives. The vice-presidency. rs ira
ditionally regarded, cannot be his polit-
ical grave. His own individuality and
the position he holds in the hearts and
respect of the people, make that an
impossibility Like Robert NJ La Fol
lette of our own state. Theodore Roose-
Welt is an ever active exponent of the
younger element in the republican party.

ence of eighteen years. Like La Fol-
lette, also, he stands for principles, and
is an answering advocate of practical
| good government in all it's phases and
has the rare faculty of obtaining aud
retaining the personal loyalty of those
who know him best His nomination
assures us that New York will be found
in the republican column.

TENT LIFE AMID THE PINES
In the Land OF Dixie During The
Winter Months.

Prominent New Englanders have for
some time been investigating the climatic
conditions of the high sand hill region of
the Southern States, especially in North
and South Carolina and Georgia. A COM
mittee Of New England doctors, headed by
DR.. W. c. Vile, Editor New England
Medical Monthly, in 1894 made person
al examination and reported In favor of
the Southern part of Moore County, N.
q. DIR. j. Warren Achorn; of Boston,
Mass, specialist In chronic stomach
troubles, has given much care and atten-
tion to the investigation Of climatic effect
upon disease, and his sending hundred of
invalids to the Sand Hills of Moore
County, and his favorable report as to
the successful results, have, no doubt,
been the cause Of an Association of New
England doctors selecting point down
there between Pinehurst and Pinebluff,
about six miles south of Southern Pines,
as the most desirable place for a tent sani-
tarium. DR.. w. o. Ruggles,a prominent
homeopathic physician of Boston, is on
the ground supervising the finishing touch
es to the buildings; seeing to the proper
placing and erection of the tents for inva-
lids. DR.. Ruggles has been at the head
of the Nervous and Chronic Department
of the Boston Homeopathic Dispensary
for eighteen years, and is we'll qualified to
fill the position of Superintendent of the
Camp Sanitarium, at which, special atten-
tien will be given to those suffering with
chronic diseases of throat and chest and
there Is not the least doubt but what ther Q
will be many permanent cures on account
of the outdoor tent life, in other words the
breathing of the pure dry air laden with
the balsamic odor of the long leaf pine
twenty four hours every day during the
winter and spring months, restore almost
any one to health and strengh of life.
Among the New Englanders who are speci-
ally anxious to see this enterprise sue
cess, is the Rev. Edward Everett Hale,
D. D., of Boston, Mass. For the present,
letter written to Tent Sanitarium, Pine
bluff, N. c., would no doubt receive reply.
Those desiring to go South during the
winter should buy tickets via the new
short line, the Seaboard Air Line, which
goes via Southern Pines, Pinehurst and
Pinebluff. General information may be
| had by addressing John T. Patrick, Chief
Industrial Agent of the Seaboard Air Line

The conditions of modern journalism

distinguished the decade from 1880 TO
1890, and some OF them--Omaha, for
example--have decreased in population
during the past ten years. The coun-
try has been filing up, however, and
1t is thought the small towns and rural
communities have relatively done bet
ter than the cities.
Until the census returns from the
state of Washington have been footed
up and published it will be impossible
to tell what this state will have in the
matter OF congressional membership.
From 1880 to 1890 the population in
creased from 5000 to $4,000. a growth
OF 3s5 per cent. 1t is, of course. not
expected that any phenomenal advance
like this will be recorded for the past
decade, but II there has been anything
like a full and accurate enumeration
the total population ought to be not far
from half a million. BY the time the
apportionment Is made there is no
doubt the state will have a population

low what 1t ought to have few years
hence.
