The nomination Of Mckinley and
Roosevelt was the self evident result
to those unbiased by personal interest.
In every way the result was natural
and fitting. The policies of four wears
past, precluded the idea of any other
presidential candidate than MeKinlev
until those policies were crystallized
and completed; and the rare qualities
OF Roosevelt the popular and majestic
character of the hero Of San man
forced his nomination by unanimous
consent. The ticket is characteristic
of RepublicaBism in it's broadest and
best sense, and is a winner.-George-

Union Republican leaders, who in
times of peace are relentless and un-
compromising in their attitude toward
/ Republicans, became mere sniyeling
sycophants in the presence Of the mem

any sacrifice in order to secure favOrs.

The political war between the Union
and Regular Republicans is practically
in the same position now as months
ago. The chances of a compromise is
not thought of by the most conserva-
tive Republican. Such a thing cannot
take place as long as Mr.. Addicks con-
tinues to proclaim himself the absolute
boss Of the faction. 1t is true, both
sides at times weakly tried to bridge
: the difficulties, but when the real test
was made, so much was encountered
that was distasteful to one faction or
the other that the attempt was given
up, and the war waged with greater
fury. There seems only one way out of
the difficulty-defeat Addicks by elect
\ ing a Democratic ticket.-Delaware
