Mckinley and Roosevelt.

The Republican National Convention NOM
mated William Mckinley for President and
Theodore Roosevelt for Vice President.
The nomination of Mckinley had been
known for year past. Mark Hanna would
not allow any other candidate to enter the
field.
The nomination of Roosevelt was known to
all readers of the daily papers for a week past
He pretended he did not want the nomna-
ton, but no one considered him honest IN his
declensiom, and the fact that he accepted is
an acknowledgment OF it. His nomination
for Vice President is all owing 10 Platt and
QUAY. Plat wanted to eliminate him from
New York politics, and Quay joined Plat to
beat Hanna, who was opposed to Roosevelt.
That the ticket is strong no one contends,
still. it is as strong as the party could present
at this time Mckinley was the natural and
logical leader Everybody expected his
nomination, and everybody BOXED to Me-
Kinlev as the Republican nominee. 1t IS
upon the Mckinley record that the Republ-
can party is to stand.
As to Roosevelt ne Is "a l'oSltINc NshANe9a
TO the ticket Teddy became conspicuous
some years ago by '.kicking" against the reg
ular party organization, and going out of the
state during the campaign. And he was so
conspicuous as being nothing politically
that Mr.. Harrison made him member OF
the Civil Service Commission. His whole
reputation now rests as a Rough Rider, and
he was not colonel, but lieutenant colonel of
the regiment, and had he not been a Repub-
Gcap he wonld not have seen service. Aud he
did not see much service The negro regiment
behind the rough riders saved them from an
Inhalation. The negro in command of the
regiment and not Roosevelt, should have been
nominated if a hero of Santiago was needed.
And speaking of the battle of Santiago il twas
scarcely a skirmish in comparison with those
of the civil war Of IS6l-64. la those DAYS
there was service. The people who became
conspicuous were fighters. We dc not wish
to beFttle Roosevelt, for We believe he has
animal courage. He has the courage of the
bull dog, but he lacks the qualities for Vice
President. His candidacy is regarded as
ridiculous, and his nomination was simply a
defeat of Mr.. Hanna uaugnrated by Plat
and Quay, and no more.

Roosevelts Plight.
From The New York Evening Pos.

From the New York Evening Post.
Our strenuous but inexperienced young
Governor has fallen, at Philadelphia, into the
hands OF his much lauded "men who do
things, and all accounts agree that they have
now dome things to HIM. They have
placed him IA an embarrassing and highly
ridiculous position, His chosen attitude Of
the strong man debating terms TO fate. self
honored set-secure.' has now become that
of the alarmed party man, who plaintiyely
tells his friends that his political career would
be ruined if be refused 10 obey a party be
hest. This Is what Platt has toreseeu with
unholy joy, from the beginning. When the
fierce Colonel issued his ultimatum on Feb
ruary II, Under no circumstances could or
would | accept the nomination for the Vice
Presidency he added that he was happy
to state that Senator Plat cordially acquiesces
in my views ia the matter. Oh, yes; Plat
acquieSced, but he instantly set about weaving
a political net Ia enmesh The buZzing blue
bottle, and now he has it caught aud it IS the
Governor turn to do the acquiescing Roose
welt is greatly astouiShed to find Arkansas SO
uucomiortably near the head of the list) and
Pennsylvania eager for his nomination. Plat,
who has better means of intelligence than the
trusting Governor, and better facilities for
communication with Boss Quay and Boss
Clayton, Is probably not overwhelmed with
astonishment at their sudden demand that the
hero eat his words as gracefully as Governor
Seymour ate his Your candidate | cannot

Trustism and imperialism.
From the St. Louis Republic.


1t is now plain that the Philadelphia Con-
vention is destined to take its place in Amer
lean history as the convention of trustism and
imperialism. 1t will endorse the laundering
and I'M American policy which has resulted
in bloody war in the Philippines. 1t will
defend the unconstitutional tariff taxation of
the Porto Ricans. Ii will seek to lessen the
defniteness of the American pledge for the
independence of Cuba. 1t will declare for a
foreign expansion. which means the substitu-
ton of an Empire for "a Republic.
TheAmerican people will surely not miss the
significance oftheRepublican platform drafted
by Mark Hanna. They know that the Phila-
delphia Convention will be Hanna Conven-
ton, and that Hanna means to carry out the
syndicate dream of Empire. II is for the
people to say in November if the Republic
shall thus be doomed to ultimate overthrow
The issue in 1900 is the maintenance Of
American principles aud the preservation Of
free institutions.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1900-06-23

Mr.. Hanna now wishes, il is said, that he
had shown more fnesse in dealing with the
vote on Ex-senator Quay's retention Of his
seat in the Senate Mr. Quay is a hard fight
err, and has given the Great Republican Boss
such knockout blow, in the nomination Of
Gov, Roosevelt for Vice President. that it will
take years for him to recover from, If ever.

No More Carpet Baggers


1t is earnestly to be hoped that the signifi
canoe of the facts developed in the Havana
scandal will not be lost on the administration.
A reform in methods of administration IS ar
gently demanded. The reform is almost be
yond question as imperatively needed in Porto
Rico and the Philippines as in Cuba. The
carpet bag regime now unfortunately estab
lshed in these dependencies should be ter
minated without further delay. The imperial
lists have been too abrupt in the looting Of their
prizes of war. 1t is bad politics, if nothing
else, on their part-it may so revolt the Amer
lean people as to materially shorten the life
of the imperialist idea in what was once an
an honest and liberty loving country.
