DEFENSE OF WISE POLICY.
From the Evening Journal.

From the Evening journal.
Oregon has declared for honest money
and expansion, and even the presence
of Bryan in the State campaign did not
prevent the Republicans from carrying
the election by plurality of at least
5000. Rhode Island previously had
spoken, although the anti-expanson-
lists made strenuous efforts to throw it
to the Democrats as rebuke to Presi-
dent Mckinley. As Oregon and Rhode
Island have spoken, SO will every Re
publican and heretofore doubtful State
speak in defense of the wise policy OF
Mr.. Mckinley.

WHY DID THEY CHEER TILDEN

From the New York Evening Sun.
Three statesmen were cheered Justify
in the State Democratic Convention held
in the Academy of Music Yesterday.
Bryan's name brought out storm OF
applause, for the very simple reason that
the majority OF the delegates were for
him. They hit it up for Hill, and that is
not hard to explain either. In spite of
Tammany and Kings. he was strong
enough to keep on his political feet. And
although he will go to the Kansas City
Convention as an instructed Bryan man,
sad come down from the proud posi-
tion OF the head of the New York dele.
CATION in 1896, yet he succeeded in his
scheme for straddle on the subject OF
free silver. But why did the convention
cheer for Samuel j. Tilden? What is
there in common between that stalwart,
courageous statesman of the real old
Democracy and the muddle headed half
breeds who now call themselves Demo-
Gratis and are really something quite diff

more astonished at the new sky-scrapers.
the automobiles, and the size of the
town than at the change that had taken
place in the party. 1t is greatly to be
fea'ed that those cheers for Tilden are
only another sign of the sad fact that our
Democratic friends are entirely without
a saving sense of humor. The demon.
stration was about as ridiculous as if DR.
McGlffert were to get up public meet
ing and propose three cheers for the
Westminster Confession of Faith. MOI
could the manifestation be explained BY
suggesting that the Democrats. so-called
by hurrahing for Tilden were expressing
regret t " their lost political virtue. They

CHANDLER FOR GOVERNOR.

From the Daily Republican.
1t is generally conceded that DIR.

equipped for the position, and will, if
elected, make an honorable record for
