The Political Situation
Special correspondence.

WASHINGToN, Sept. 6-The democrats
have been thrown into CONSERVATION by
the order of the administration which di-
verted the troops at one time destined for
China to Manila. These regular troops,
now on the way to the Orient, and who
would have been used in China had the
necessity continued, are going to Manila
to take the place of the volunteer regi-
ments that are to be mustered out next
July. They will for the present take the
place of the troops hat were sent over
from Manila to operate in China.
The democratic politicians had already
laid their plans for adding to the noise
that they are making with "imperialism"
by saying that not withstanding that
Pekin had been captured and the minis
ters and American citizens had been res
cued. the troops are being hurried to
China, which was a sure indication that
they would go there for the purpose of
conquest.
The president and his advisors have
carefully considered the situation, and
have decided that the troops already in
China are all that are necessary to main
tain and support the cause Of the United
States, and maintain communication
with our representatives in the Chinese
capital Hence there is. great dissp.
pointment among the democratic howlers
who hoped to use the further landing OF
troops as backing for the cry of imper.
ialism which they are making in this
compai gn.
Certain democratic organs and some
democratic politicians are insisting that
even If the T. S. maintains troops in
China, we should withdraw them iron
Pekin to the seashore, as an evidenc,
that the United States does not intend t.
engage in territorial conquest. Herr
again the sound sense of President Nc
Kinley comes to the front, and he take

the position that the United States has a
right to have minister in the Chinese
capital, has a right to protect him and
the legation and all other United States
citizens who may be in that capital; and
that as long as the necessary protection
canuot be afforded in any other manner
than by the use of United States troops,
United States troops will be used;
This position may be distasteful to
those who think that we should abandon
our rights in China and ignore the losses
which have been sustained, not only in
the property and lives of American citi-
zens, but also to accept the indignity
which has been.heaped upon the United
States by the assault upon this country in
the person OF its envoy.

Ex-senator Peffer for Mckinley

Former U. S. Senator w. A. PETER,
one of the founders and always leader
of the populist party, makes the follow
ing statement as to why he will vote and
take the stump for the reelection of
President Mckinley:
IL ami often asked why favor the re-
election of President Mckinley Here
are my reasons:
"ln the first place, after vehemently
urging on the war with Spain, and after
an unbroken series of victoriss of Our
arms on sea and land, after an energetic
and successful conduct of the war, term-
mating in treaty placing us at the right
of the front rank of the nations of the
earth, with new and grave responsible
ties attaching-after all these splendid
achievements, the democratic party,
aided by its fusion allies, has raised
hue and cry charging all manner of pub
lie crimes against the administration,
despotic use of power, usurpation, fraud.
corruption, perfidy, calling on the ma
tions to behold national shame and be-
seeching their own countrymen to aid
them in their wicked onslaught OH the
good name, the honor and dignity of their
people.
~ look on this brazen assault OH the
honor Of the republic a little less than
treason, and the success of the republi-
can party alone can prevent the attain
ment of the end sought by the unholy
alliance. Ifthere were no other reasons
this alone would be sufficient to insure
my vote for the republican candidate for
the presidency.
"To my mind the presidents course,
from the beginning of the war to the
present time, has BEEN remarkably free
from mistakes. He has been vigilant,
patriotic, active and all things American.
In the government of the Philippines
he has not only followed the law and the
precedents, but he he has done the work
efficiently and humanely. He has treat
ed the situation just as Washington did
in the Northwest territory, as Jefferson
did in the Louisiana purchase, as Monroe
did in Florida, as Jackson did i'll the
Seminole country, as Polk did in Mexico,
New Mexico and California, and as Lin
coin did i'll the states of the southern
confederacy, All the preoedents are OH
the presidents side.
Second-The democratic party is not
fit to govern this country under modern
conditions Of universal freedom. Look
back upon the second administration OF
President Cleveland. Upward of $25o,-
600 900 in bonds were sold without spe-
cial authority Of congress to procure gold
for the redemption reserve. Most Of the
bonds were sold to or through syndicates
of spectators at enormous profits.
The republicans are wiser. The wal
with Spain made large expenditures ne
cessary; congress authorized the borrow
| ing of money, and $500, 600, 900 of 3 pei
cent bonds were sold to our own people
in SUMS Of Gas to $500. This is the
fourth year of the Mckinley administra
tion and not one dollar Of gold has been
bought or borrowed. The treasury now
holds nearly $3.50 900 900 in gold coir
and bullion, and there is plenty o
money in the country for the transaction
of the peoples business.
Our exports are larger in amount ant
value than ever before, and the condi
ton of the country as whole was never
better than it is now.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The attitude
of the German government on the Rus
sian proposal to withdraw their troops
from Pekin has been made known to the
United States. 1t is to the effect that
Germany considers it necessary to retain
her forces in Pekin but she
considers the conditions at Pekin
such as to require the retention of the
German forces there. The statement of
Germany's views is made in such form
as to be taken as conclusive that it is
Germany's purpose not to withdraw her
troops from Pekin even though Russia
should do so. 1t is said to be more in the
line of a simple announcement than an
argument or an answer 1t is presumed
it reflects the views made known by Ger
many to Russia.
