THE ISSUES ACCORDING TO The REPUBLICANS.

The speeches and platform Of the republican State
convention Of Ohio show how the republicans intend to
attempt to meet the issues the congressional cam
paigns in the fall and the presidential election in
1903.
These issues are to be what the democrats have
made them. Imperialism, the trusts and tho tariff.
There is hafhearted attempt 10 bring in the
sound money issue, but it takes the form rather Of
praise of the achievements Of Mckinley than of Sc
unus contention That it is an issue of the day
The Issue OF Imperialism is attempted to be met by
the assertion of the nfabnity OF the late President
mckinley. Mr. Mckinley told by Mark Hanna.

policy to be pursued in the Philippines therefore it is
argued is te short of ppious attack his policy

obvious answer to this is that the democrats have

many trusts and monopolies. but yet they have not
been able 10 obtain monopoly of prayer. The demo

THIS invoking the shade of Mckinley and taking in
vain his name, which Mark Hanna says the republicans
worshpod is very sorry political trick 1t is by no
means certain that Mr. Mckinley, If he were alive
would approve all his successor has done II is to be
