bring about the reelection OF Mckinley
stothe office he has well administered.
In New Haven. The Register, one OF
the leading papers of Connecticut, says:
I'VE risk nothing In declaring that not
in years has national ticket been res
celved with such unnistakable signs OF
fatigue and Indifference. One can al
most believe the election Is already

Journeying down the atlantic coast
we find that the sound money revolt
has reached North Carolina. The
Charlotte Observer. which is the most
influential daily newspaper in the state
says 1T Cannot support the candidate
nominated or the platform promul-
gated at Kansas City. We are
opposed to the free coinage of silver
and gold at the ratio OF 16 to 4. sss
The saying that the anti-lmperialist
plank presents the paramount issues
does not make II SO, and moreover the

try had no business in a war with
Spain, but we got into one and as a

Il sions OF disgust and revolt from demo-
