Praise for the Administration.


As matter OF fact, this country has
for the past few years enjoyed unusual
prosperity. Work has been plentiful
and wages have been good Prices of
all materials have ruled high and while
the exactions of the trusts and their
consequent profits have been enormous,
they have been exacted from people
who seem to have the money to pay
with.
The Spanish war, aside from the blot
OF Algerism. which was successfully re-
pudiatcd by the president, was conduct
ed In matchless manner.
The personal character of the president
of this great republic is without a stain.
and all good citizens. regardless of party
affiliation. rejoice that 1t IL so. We have
no patience with the man who puts
party above patriotism and who can see
no good in an administration simply be-
cause he did not help place It In power.
Tho principles OF the Republican party
are not ours. but We are fair enough 10
accord to President Mckinley the full
need of praise which Is his due and "a
predict that there will be less mud sling.
ing and vituperation during the coming
campaign than was ever known IN this
country during a similar period.

An Unattractive Personality.

Carter Harrison, mayor OF Chicago.
remarked while in New York the other
day, that 1t did not much matter what
platform the Republicans adopted, as
Bryan Is sure to win. anyway" Then
the mayor proceeded to tell why Mr..
Bryan would win, and his reasons are
worth reading because they show upon
what f1imsy foundations the hopes OF
some Democrats are based. One point
which Mr.. Harrison made was that Bry-
ans personality is attracting votes to
him. while Mckinley repels them.
Both Mr.. Mckinley and Mr. Bryan
are, men OF striking personality. but
what does that Of the latter represent
which can be attractive to voters? What
are the sentiments coming from him
which mark his personality as one that
appeals 10 the heart of the American
people? For four years or more Mr..
Bryan has unbosomed himself to the
voters Of the land and disclosed TO them
his thoughts and feelings. No other
person of prominence has been so con-
tinuously before the public. He has
travelled the country over and attempt
ed to place himself in touch with the
| masses. He has talked to them and
has given them an opportunity to study
his character What have they found
that his remarkable personality stands
for?
In all these years not one hopeful ut
terance has passed his lips. In all his
travels the people fiocklng TO hear him

Ing note. with all his rhetoric he has

The st. Paul Daily Globe, the leading
Democratic paper northwest Of Chi
cago, said this at time when II ap-
reared that the nomination of Roose-
welt would not be made:
With Roosevelt nominated, the strength
of the imperiaist national ticxet will be
greatly enhanced. Thousands II men in
every state In the Union will yote the Re-
publican presidential ticket who would
otherwise hesitate. and many Of whom
would ultimately vote against 1t or refrain
from voting altogether. as the politicians
of the administration well understand.
This is a frank confession from a BIT
ter and prejudced enemy. Is It not
curious, however. that a people who,
it is convinced. are opposed to i'm
perialism,'' should want to vote by
thousands for Roosevelt? For Teddy
Is known to be something of an i'm
perialist" himself.

II is perfectly natural and proper that
the representative of the stiff-necked
adherents of the old monarchy In Ha-
wall should be an ardent follower Of
Mr. Bryan. He admits that the inevi-
table must be accepted by yielding 10
annexation, but seems to think that II
will still furnish opportunities to make
things unpleasant for the government
Of the United States. To harass and
annoy this country In Its relations with
new territory Is a cardinal tenet of the
New Democracy.

penalty which the constitution Of the

Enthusiasm Abroad.


The great ou,pouring Of Republicans
that filled the Armory last night TO RAJ
ify the nominations of the national Re-
publican convention, and cheered to the
echo every mention Of the triumphant
party and tn candidates. was the local
response to a wave OF enthusiasm that
IL sweeping over the country today.
With one accord the Republicans OF
King county and those from other por-
tons OF the state who were their guests
came together TO congratulate the party
upon It's glorious work. and one another
upon the outlook I'm city. state and ma
ton. The campaign OF 1900 has begun.
The keynote Of II all ls the perfect
harmony that pervades the Republican
organization from ocean TO ocean and
from Canada TO the gulf. There is no
dissatisfaction. no note of warning. no
criticism of either platform or nominees.
Republicans stand In absolute unity
upon the wonderful, record Of the last
four years of Republican rule. and
upon sthe craftsmanship embodied IN
the declaration OF principles adopted
atsPniladelphia. They believe that the
candidates for president and vice pres
ident are the best that the length and
breadth of.the land could furnish. Their
past Is without q regret and their fu-
ture without menace.
In the stirring addresses last night by
Republican leaders the confidence. the
Joy. the high purpose of Republioanism
found fitting expression. There ia no
section OF the Union moro entirely In
harmony with the work OF this admin
iatrailon. none more eager 10 contribute

represents than the state of Washing

selves We are no moro an isolated and
careless community, intent upon local
interests and but little mindful OF what

Decline to Be Assimilated.

Decline TO be ASSfmfldted.
Should the Populistlc state conven-
ton. called for the nomination OF state
officers, follow the instructions given
by the preliminary convention held In
Tacoma on Thursday. all the carefully
managers will be knocked on the head.
The Tacoma convention has announced
that the Populist party will not permit
itself to be swallowed bodily by the
Democratic: and that whatever fusion
takes place, IL any, must be on its own
terms. Furthermore. II drove a nail
in Gov Rogers political coffin by the
resolution that 10 any joint convention
be held, two-thirds vote will be re-
quired to effect a nomination.
Up to this time the Democratic pro-
gramme has contemplated the easy and
natural assimilation OF the Peoples
party, which was to receive a share of
the offices. but part with the party
name. 1t was also hoped that the Pop.
ulists would agree to go into the Dem
ocratic primaries and conventions and
refrain from holding any conventions Of
their own. The programme was an at
tractive one to the Pppulist office
holders. who had assurances that they
would be provided for, In case the Dem
ocratic plan had been carried out. Gov.
Rogers was undoubtedly favorable, as
receive the fusion nomination. for gov
ernor.
II now appears that II there Is to be
fusion this year. 1t must be under pre-
cisely the same conditions as four years
ago There must be no Democratic
ticket In the field, and such Democrats
as are nominated for office must seek
| the votes OF the people under a Popu-
list disguise II Is a safe proposition
| that II such a fusion is effected as the
| Populists now demand, there will be 4
tremendous slump in the Democratic
vote. The Democrats are perfectly WILL
ing to asslmilate the Populsts, provid-
ing they do not come over In too large
numbers. but one experience as the tail
TO the Populist kite was sufficient 70
disgust Democrats who have no stake
in politics beyond their natural attach
ment TO the party name and the party
| principles. The situation in fusion cir
cles was badly mudded before the Ia
coma convention. II Is simply chaotic
at present But It will be we'll not to
count upon a too Spartan virtue IN Pop
ulist circles. They have taken one
course to down Rogers. When those in
control come 10 open bids for fusion un-
der the Democratic name and leader
ship, that viii be another story.

The Right Man In the Right Place.

The selection Of Senator Hanna as
chairman of the national committee for
the next four years Is proper recog-
milton of services as distinguished as
they are loyal. and a wise provision for
the best interests OF the party. Mr..
Hanna Is man of superb executive
ability, which he brings freely to the
service Of the Republicans Of the ma
ton. The only possible successor 70
him who has been named Is Mr. Henry
c. Payne; and although he would make
a fine campaign manager. his health is
too uncertain to permit him to assume
such arduous duties. II should be count
ed as one of the fortunate events and
happy auspices of the campaign that
the direction OF 1t will be in the hands
Of Senator Hanna.
BY virtue of his position. Mr.. Hanna
has been for four years past the tar
get for the foulest abuse OF which DEM
ocrats are capable: and superlatives can
reach no further than that All this
has been discounted. The public Is
weary OF it. Disguised with 1t. His rec
ord ls open to all men. He is faithful
Republican. a generous employer Of la
Dor, loyal friend. good citizen and
a patriotic lover Of his country. He IL

OF sound judgment and admirable po-
liticai generalship He has risen stead
lily in the popular estimate in the past
four years, and some Of the shrewdest,
soundest. hardest blows delivered upon
the shrinking body Of Democracy have
come from his hand. Mr.. Hanna pos
sesses all the qualities demanded by the
position In which he has been retained.
Republicans are glad TO see him hon.
ored and to know that they are to have
the full benefit of his counsel and assist
ance. He Is the right man in the right
place. and their redoubled howls prove
that Democrats know II and fear him.
