<''---McKinley and Roosevelt are the
candidates of the youngest party in
American politics-the imperial party
now less than a year old.-N. Y. Jour
nal.
-"Moneyed interests" are said to
have backed Platt in forcing Roosevelt
on the ticket. Moneyed interests, it
seems, take hand in everything the
republican party does.-Indianapol
News.
If McKinley's nomination be fol-

-Republican newspapers and re-
publican speeches in congress during
the past year have contained not lit
tie scoffing talk about the Declaration
of Independence and American prin-

The burden of the republican
managers in the campaign will be to
defend the party against the charge
