those in which free silver claims its
greatest strength, Col. Torrey has per-
sonal following sufficient to draw away
enough ballots from the Demo-Popullst
combine to beat it to the standStill."
There is every argument in favor Of Col.
TOrrey's nomination for Vice-PreSident
at Philadelphia. There are none that
can be urged against it. Why not, then,
do the wisest thing and place him on the
ticket?
Jay L. Torrey as a Vice-Presidential
candidate would need no introduction to
the country. No one will be required to
vouch for him, either as to capability or
honesty. He has been nominated for
office before, and always ran ahead of
experience as presiding officer, and is
a past master in the art Of pouring oil
on the troubled waters of debate.
He is in the prime Of a robust man
hood-forty- years of age-just old
enough to be wise and young enough to
be enthusiastic.
He is a self-made man, inheriting no
money, but has won friends, finance and
fame by the judicious exercise Of his
God-given talents. When a man has
succeeded in a business and in a profes-
sional way for himself he can be safely
intrusted with the Governments inter
ests.
ne SlduuS uTully LUZ iii Tue great
moral principles with which the Repub-
lican party is identified. He is the one
man whose happy address, imposing
physique and convincing Oratory would
be such a tower of strength on the stump
as to meet and throw down the eloquent
and persuasive Mr.. Bryan.
He began life as a newspaper carrier
in st. Louis. The press will take care
of Col. Torrey-and the voice of the
press is the voice of God. 1t is the peo-
pies mouthpiece.
He has ideas-not mere notions" To
be sure, men with ideas are plentiful in
the abstract; but men with new IDEAS
are few; men with new ideas that are
practical are still fewer; in fact, so rare
that those a century produces may be
speedily counted.
Fellow Republicans, who assemble
| next week in the classic Quaker City,
your season Of doubt may now end. The
has been found. You can accept Jay L.
TOrrey without question. A typical
American, aggressive, yet generous;
sturdy, yet genial; courageous, yet eau
tious; frank, yet discreet; a thorough
| going, upright Christian gentleman. It
| is our judgment that he be taken-for
| the popular veal. 1t would mean a
| campaign of snap, vigor and enthusi-
| asm-a clean, wholesome canvass, in
which scandal or abuse, explanation OF
apology would have no place. Mckinley
| and Torrey are a Vote-getting combina-
| toni

rey-a statesman and a laborer, an ora

magnetism will thrill anew the boys"
