WHY SHOULD REPUBLICANS

Why should any really serious RepubIi-
can vote for Mr.. McKinley2
After all, it is the supreme duty of a
citizen to be an American first and par
tisan second Parties. are merely the in
struments through which the individuals
composing the nation work ont their collee-
tive will The man who consents to a
national policy against which his conscience
reyolts because he is not morally brave
enough to step across party lines, does not
deserve good government.
Why should Republican vote for Mr..
Mckinley?
Is it not a fact that this weak agent of
stronger and more brntally dangerous men
has forfeited the confidence and respect
even of the members of his own party
There have been more scandals in the
Administration "f Mr.. Mckinley than any
other President He has made the White
House the headquarters of the corrupt
trust lobby He has made the White
House the stronghold of tariff jobbery.
It is notorious that he has mortgaged and
sold the highest offices in his gift. He
has protected the men who robbed the War
Department during our war with Spain.
He has grossly deceived the public about
the mismanaged war in the Philippines,
and has closed all channels of investigation
into the wholesale army frauds. He has
even allowed his own brother to be the go
between for army contractors and the Gov
ernment-a service rendered for cash. His
whole administration is tainted by fraud
and incapacity.
Are these statements not true ? Are
they not confirmed by plain and unmistak-
able evidence? A man does not have to
be Democrat in order to understand the
utter unftness of Mr.. Mckinley for the
office he holds.

1t is not only that Mr. Mckinley has
established colonies under the American
flag, that he has substituted military force
for moral force in our national life, that
he has spat on the Declaration of Independ-
ence and trampled on the Constitution,
that he has allowed the British flag to be
hoisted over American territory in Alaska,
that he has sought to revive the extinct
Clayton Bulwer treaty and compromise our
control of the Nicaraguan Canal, that he
has treated the dying South African Re-
public with brutal Indifference to please his
fiatterers in England, that he has support
ed and protected the trusts in their attempt
to destroy competition and take away hope
from the youth of the nation-it is not
these things alone which stamp Mr. Nc
Kinley as man beyond the pale of con-
fidence.
Mr.. Mckinley entire record condemns
him. As Governor of Ohio he signed his
name to blank promissory notes for the
Youngstown tim plate works His name
as private citizen was commercially worth
less. But as the Governor of an import
ant State his name had a sort of value
which he readily lent to bolster up rot
ten enterprise He allowed the Youngs-
town tin plate works to contract debts on
his notes, which he knew he could not pay
This is matter Of official record The
facts are not disputed. When the tin
plate works failed Mr.. Mckinley owed
S118, 600 which he could not pay. lie
was Governor of Ohio, and the people of
that State were shocked when they learned
that theGovernor' worthless notes had been
hawked about from bank to bank until
they we're placed.
A man with fine sense of honor would
have resigned his office and begun to work
for his creditors as Mark Twain did in his
old age.
Did Mr. Mckinley resign? No. Did
he make any attempt to earn money to pay
his debts ? No. He made technical
assignment of his own and his wife prop
erty for the benefit of his creditors and
then appealed to his friends to save him.
Mark Hanna, Myron I. Herrick, Herman
Kohlsaat and several other Republicans
went about begging money for the payment
of Mr.. McKinley.s debts. They even
took 81 900 from John r.. Mclean, a
political opponent.
In this humiliating way Governor Me
Kinieys debt of S118, 600 was paid
Then Mr. Mckinley received his property
back again from the assignee (Judge Day,
afterward Secretary of State) without pay
ing one dollar himself Since that time
Mr. Mckinley has earned $50, 900 a year,
yet he has not offered to repay any part Of
the Sis, 900 Why2 Because most Of
the men who helped to pay Mr.. McKin-
ley's debt have profted in other ways by
their mortgage on him.
Has there been another President of the
United States with record like that ?
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1900-10-27

Mr.. Mckinley has been openly and con-
tiuuously under the control of Mr.. Hanna,
who secured his seat in the United States
Senate by notorious bribery. His example
has done more to discourage honesty and
courage in American politics than that of
any man of his time in either party.
|. Why should any patriotic Republican
vote to keep Mr.. Mckinley in the high
Office he has perverted and dishonored ? 1t
is reasonable question and deserves a
reasonable answer.
Mr.. Mckinley is at heart free silver
man. There was no more passionate adj
yocate of free silver, than he until the
movement to nominate him for President
began. Even in 1892 he wrote a
letter to the Farmers Alliance IF Stark
county, Ohio, saying that he favored the
coinage Of all the silver product Of the
United 3htes into money. he penned
that letter when he was candidate for
Congress. He denounced Grover ueve-
land for opposing free silver. But when
he saw his chance for Presidential nom
nation he changed his convictions almost
as swiftly as he ate his own words about
''our plain duty in Porto Rico and "for-
chile annexation being terminal aggres
sion IN the Philippines.
How is the measure of mans s worth
or unworth to be determined if not BY his
acts /? Can man descend to the level Of
cheat, can he betray every confidence
reposed in him, can he mortgage his Office
and surrender his very soul to mere bucks
tiers, and still impose himself upon the
people
Mr.. Mckinley utters high sounding
speeches about the flag and at the same
tune violates every principle that the flag
represents. He coins glittering phrases
about prosperity when he knows that the
masses of the people are being squeezed as

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Tlae United
States supreme court decided the Ken
lucky goyernorship case IN favor OF
Governor Beekham, disnliss1iy the
writ Of error from the Kentucky court
of appeals. The opinion was handed
down by Chief Justice Fuller, aud a
vigorous dissenting opinion was deliv-
erred by Justice Harlan. Justices Brew
er, Brown and McKenna also dissented
from portions of the opinion.
Chief Justice Fuller, in the opinion
handed Gown, said the court should be
the last to overstep the bounds limiting
its own jurisdiction, and that ihe de.
termination of cases of this character,
contests for state office, must necessarily
be settled by the political branch of the
government. That branch had acted in
the Kentucky case when the general
assembly took jurisdiction. There was
no appeal from the assembly's decision,
which was favorable to Goebel and
Beckham, except to the tribunal of the
people, which tribunal, the chief justice
said, was always in session. He also
said the case was purely a state case
that Kentucky was in the full possession
union, and that there was no emergency
at this time calling for interference.

lor issued an order to General d. r.
Collier, at Frankfort, KY, to disband

vast bank of flowers. There were no
ceremonies at the grave except prayer
by Rev. Z. +. Talliafaro, of the Method
list church.
