MAC AND TEDDY.
Republican Convention at PhiIa-
delphia Makes Nominations.
Mckinley for President an Roose
welt for Vice President by
AcclamatiOn.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 2l.-
VIM. Mckinley for President and
Theodore Roosevelt for Vice-Presi-
dent were nominated by acclama-
tion to-day,
The nomination of Mckinley, set
for yesterday, was postponed be-
cause of the hot fight which Hanna
was waging against Roosevelt, and
which might have caused the nomi-
nation of Roosevelt for the presi-
dency, as the sentiment became so
strong that there was talk of
overriding the boss and placing
the Rough Rider at the head of the
ticket. But Hanna surrendered
1t was not, however, without a
fight, and IN desperation he called
upon the President to come out for
some man and against Roosevelt.
But the President would not be
caught in such trap, which might
have mean this defeat for the presi-
Dental nomination. He went fatty
on record that be would not thwart
the will of the convention. That
was the last prop. Hanna then in
duced the surrender OF the other
Vice Presidential candidates. Dol

toned, never having been in the

The platform has been adopted,
1t is unsatisfactory to those who
drew the administration drift. Sen
ator Fairbanks is believed to bt
the author of most Of it. Its prais,
of the trusted men appointed to off
ces created by the insular acqui
sitions is taken to be special de
fense Of Nicely and the others con.
nected with the Cuban scandal.
The Boer struggle is straddled
and is unsatisfactory to both sides.
There is a mention of reducing the
war revenue tax, but no pledge to
repeal it. The trusts are let of
lightly and no Legislation against
them is pledged.

American soldiers, we're directly traceable
to Hannaism in the Government. although
Russell a. Alser. one of the creatures OF
the system, had to take the blame. Who
is there who does not know where the
effort centered to cover up those crimes
against the Army and humanity?
1t was Haunaism tina. made the deal
preliminary to the prearranged interven-
tion OF France to stop the war. We are
but beginning to guess the meaning and
scope of that secret engagement. We shall
hear more of it after the Presidential
election. Again, ii was Hannaism that
said at the beginning of the fight with
Spain that no American officer. military
or naval, should ever be allowed to come
cut Of it with a great reputation. to be-
Gene popular idol, Dewey was an acct
dent He was able 10 seize an uncourted
opportunity, ard nailed it by cutting the
cable between his feet and Hanna. But
otherwise the latter carried out the pro-
gramme by attempting the sacrifice OF
Schley and promoting the fortunes OF
Shafter and Sampson.
The Crown Colonial system is the work
of Hanna. Otis Is one of his typical crea-
tions. The trust friends of Hanna are the
men with whom the Treasury bargained
when it made the New York custom house
and free government loan deals. The Ship
Subsidy bill is of Hanna, and he would be
one of its benefciaries. 1t is small mat
ter 1t only proposes taking ninety mil
lien dollars out Of the pockets of taxpay-
ers and handing the sum over to ten or
dozen transportation maSnates.
The understanding with Great Britain,
which contemplates revival of the null
and void Clayton Bulwer Treaty. through
the proposed Hay-Pauncefo.e agreement;
which involves surrender of the Monroe
Doctrine; which would forever defeat an
American inter oceanic canal, and which
is in the interest of the Panama syndicate.
is all the work of Hanna and his associates.
Who but Hanna compelled Mr.. McKin-
ley to depart from his convictions of our
plain duty to give free trade to Porto
Rico, because. as an American Territory,
that boon could not constitut,onally be
withheld? Who promoted and press j to
passage the Infamous Payne Foraker bill.
which degrades free citizens of the in
sular parts of the United States to the
condition of serfs Of the Executive? That
question it is unnecessary to answer. 1t
answers itself.
From first to last, in its every aspect,
in its every policy and action. the Admin
istration has been seen to be the At linis-
tration of William Mckinley in name. but
of his political creator, Marcus A Hanna
in fact. When the former appeals to the
American people for endorsement and re-
election, that truth will not be forgotten
at the polls.

1t is not surprising that Judge Advocate
General Lieber should support Col. Henry

regulations. practice, and conventions, of
all of which Harries is blissfulIy and
VIGOROUSLY ignorant.
The case of Colonel May is not the first
in connection with which the militia
brigadier has made spectacle of him
self. 1t will he remembered that, at the
brigade encampment last year, he repri-
manded and was about to court-martial
Lieutenant Colonel o'Brien, because that
officer refused to recognize staff captain
who attempted to order him from his tent
to receive message from headquarters;
the staff captain remaining mounted out
side and shouting commands to his su-
perior. When the. to him, novel fact
finally penetrated the mind of Harries
that mounted officer Of inferior rank
must dismount and salute his superior,
the latter being dismounted. before ad-
dressing him, the matter was quickly
dropped. and the brigadier was glad to be
permitted to drop it.
The instances referred to are only two
out of number that might be cited in
proof Of the utter incompetency of Harries
for the duties and responsibilities OF the
position he holds. The present demorali-
cation of the District Guard is widely
believed to be due to his inefficiency. and
perhaps still more to his personal unpopu-
larity ana inclination to impose unmili-
tary and unacceptable conditions upon
the officers and members of the citizen
force. II the Guard is worth preserving,
and We thoroughly believe it is. The War
Department should insist upon reform
and institute il at the head, where it will
be effective. If, after the fitting rebuke
he has received in the decision of the
Judge Advocate General, Harries has not
the grace to resign. he should be sum
marily removed. There is no other sal
walton for the corps.

Amid all the gloom and darkness of the
Cuban carpetbag scandal, the Aiminis-

OF adding to the embarrassment of a dis

When Honest" Thompson was first ac-.
cused OF irregularities in the management
OF the Havana postoiiice, he resented the
indienity with much and virtuous wrath.
When the news reached here that the slur
had been cast upon him, the whole Cabinet
began to consider forms Of apology. When
later, it was reported that he had made a
confession, there was grief at the White
House and in the Cleveland Bastile where
the postal magnates abide. II Honest"
Thompson had given way to the strong

to the imperial Crown Colonial system, who
could be trusted TO see others loot and

Heads of the Associated Press Dis
pleased with Proposed Policy.


CHICAGO, May 17.-Victor F. Lawson
and Melville E. Stone are no longer the
official heads of the Associated Press.
With the meeting of the new elected d.
rectors today Charles E. Knapp OF the
est. Louis Republic" was elected presi-
dent instead OF Mr.. Lawson. and Charles
S. Diehl assistant general manager at
New York, was promoted to the Office of
secretary and general manager in place
of Melville E. Stone, who sent in his
resignation. The reason for Mr.. Stones
action was the refusal of the stockholders
to modify the bylaws in conformity with
the decision of the Illinois Supreme
Court in the case OF the Inter Ocean"
A stakeholder in the Associated Press
said that one of the reasons for a change
in the officers Of president and general
manager was the desire to remove the
officials from the State OF Illinois. so that
they would not be cited to appear before
the Supreme Court for contempt. He also
said that 1t was generally understood
there was to be reorganization under the
laws Of some other State, possibly New
Jersey. and that the new organization
would not contain the cooperative feature.
