n particular reflected In the strength
of the various markets this morning"
(Monday). This writer makes another
very. Important contribution to this
most vital matter. so far ~ our people
are concerned, in this statement: "Ev-
~ one here who had personal ac-
with both President Nc
and with Theodore Roosevelt
knew that the essential distinction be-
tween the two men was simply dif-
ference Of temperament. In all the
attributes OF character,
in moral fber, in an exquisite sense
both Of sslf-respect, personal honor
and what the obligAtions and inter-
course between man and man require,
the two men were singularly alike"
One more witness may be summon.
ed from the many who are at hand,
and that is political opponent. but
one Of the strongest and most inde-
pendent newspapers, In the best sense,
in the country-the Brooklyn Eagle.
That paper notes the important fact
that Theodore Roosevelt as governor
Of New York filled the most important
executive ONCE in the land saving the
one he now holds" he being the first
vice president promoted to the su-
preme once who has had thorough
executive training. The Eagle bears
witness upon one point that is sure to
come up IN every mind In connection
with President Roosevelt. and that Is
his relation to the Republican party
Of his own state, and particularly to
Senator Plat. That gentleman him
self has spoken out very plainly as to
his satisfaction with President Roose-
velt's promotion. He does not say
that President Roosevelt and he are
in agreement upon all things and will
be, but that is so clearly stated by
The Eagle that we quote from 1t as
follows: while Mr.. Roosevelt con.
suited the machine, he refused its de-
mands more often than he accepted
them, and he forced on II his own de.
mands much more frequently than II
would like to admit Besides which
the machine remembers with respect
and with regard that he never de-
ceived It and never sough! to make
capital for himself by its ostentatious
humiliation. The truth teller and the
truth worker In our governorship II
likely to be the same in that larger
governorship called the presidency o.
the United States"
Take all these facts together and II
connection with them the acknowl
edged earnestness and determined sin
cerity of Theodore Roosevelt, ant
none need fear his being equal to th'
duties that have devolved upon him
Those that might doubt his being II
some lesser position as calm and mod
crate and self-poised as Mckinley
will consider in this connection be
sides both the weight of his respons
bility and the circumstances of hi
coming into the place, for the shade,
of the tragedy to a man of his temper
ament will tone his entire administrs
tion He is the only man in Americs
too, that represents at once the mos
thorough culture Of the east and tn
broadcast western ways. He know
this country and all parts of 1t, an
there Is every reason to believe ths
; he will make president worthy
succeed William Mckinley.
One thing, however, is most essel
!. tial, and that is the hearty support {
the American people. One expressio
attributed to President Rooseve

: wish that the friends Of Mckinley CO

the same fidelity and faithfulness th'
I we're always given to President M
