PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT in his letter
accepting the Republican nomination
and referring to the striking inconsis-
tency of latter day Democracy says;
at is difficult to find out from the
utterances of our opponents what are
the real issues upon which they pro-
pose to wage this campaign. 1t is
not unfair to say that, having aban-
doned most of the principles upon
which they have insisted during the
last eight years, they now seem at a
loss, both as to what it is that they
really believe, and as to how firmly
they shall assert their belief in any
thing. In fact it is doubtful if they
venture resolutely to press single Is
sue; as soon as they raise one they
shrink from it and seek to explain it
away. Such an attitude is the prob
ably inevitable result of the effort to
improvise convictions; for when thus
improvised, it is natural that they
should be held in a tentative man.

Is TO 1.

In the last issue of The REPUBLIC
AN we asked an explanation as to
why the Democrats were 80 intense
ly silent on the "free silver Is to l OF
bust" Issue which they 80 strenu-
ously advocated four and eight years
ago as the only thing that would save
the country from destruction. The
Hartford Herald rises up with the
alacrity characteristics Of the hot
air, wlnd-jamming sheet, and says
"sure brother we'll do it" and the
following pitiful effort is in substance
the explanation:
The Democratic National Convention
at NJ. Louis this year declared that the
financial question could not possibly be
an issue during this campaign. and there
fore the matter was completely eminat-
ed from the platform.
Such an explanation is nc
explanation. 1t is feeble at.
tempt to evade the real question.
There is no reason why the financial
question is not with as much:proprie-
ty an Issue this year as heretofore. II
free silver was the right policy OF gov
eminent four years ago why is it not
now? In short,if the above quotation,
or any part of the Herald's column Of
nonsensicsl nonsense, devoted to an
explanation of the dearth and STROUD
ed issue of 16 to l be r,tling more
than flub-dubbery, pure and simple,
we have been unable to detect it.
What we and the people generally
want to know is, why Democracy,
the st, Lo uis Convention and all the
rest have abandoned the free silver
IL to / or bust issue of 1896 and
1900. If you can't speak, make
signs or shake bush.

HEAVY RAINS
Hinder the Japanese
Advance.

st. Petersburg, May 19.-An official
report received from General Kuropat-
kin indicates that the Japanese ad-
vance is being hampered by the
heavy rains which have turned the
roads in southern Manchuria into ver-
liable quagmires. This has caused the
Japanese to return to Feng Huang
Cheng with most Of their artillery.
General Kuropatkin states that the
Japanese vanguard has retired from
Synhailin Pass and Kungiapousea to
Seluchjan. Sinyan Is again unoccu.
pied and the force of Japanese which
was reported at Dazoushan has re.
tired. A force of 600 Japanese is re-
ported at Douyanmyo, while 300 more
are entrenched at Salitsaipudzi
General Kuroki, the Japanese com
mander Is understood to be at Feng
Huang Cheng where is also located
the headquarters Of the first Japanese
army corps
The rainy weather which has pre-
vailed for a week is expected to have
the effect of checking the Japanese
This will enable General Kuropatkin
to follow out his original plans and
concentrate 100000 men at Mukden
and points south.

Some persons are deploring the
fact that pagan nation is being sue
cessful over a Christian nation in the
fight between Japan and Russia. The
war is not religious one and the fact
that worries some of these people has
been lost sight Of. The fact Of the
matter is that the class Of religion
that the Russians display under what
is known as the Greek church is not
any better than that of the pagan Japs.
There is a general impression that the
Russians are Catholics, but this is not
the case. The Greek church is the
dominant one. The persecution of
the Jews, the horrors of Siberia and
bloodthirsty anarchy seem to thrive
in the so-called religious atmosphere
of the czar's domains. On the other
hand. the Japs are inclined to accept
foreign religion and any other thing
that is an improvement over their
own.

BOSS COX
MAN WHO FORCED THE
NOMINATION OF
CAPTAIN R. B. CRAWFORD
BY the Ohio Republican
Convention.

Columbus, O., May 1S.-In the alb
sence of Senator Hanna, the undis-
puted leader Of the past five years,
the Republican state convention was
dominated today by four men who seek
to take his place, Senators Foraker
and Dick, Governor Herrick and
George b. Cox, OF Cincinnati. That
there was harmony from start to finish
was due to the fact that none of the
four felt strong enough to force fight.
They worked together, each fearing
a contest might be his own undolng.
The fight for Judge of the supreme
court was won after protracted strug-
gle by Chief Justice William T. Spear,
who has served on the bench Of the
supreme court since 1885. and to whose
support the attorneys of the state raj
lied almost to a man. In the contest
for member Of the board Of public
works, George B. Cox, of Cincinnati,
representing the forces interested In
the Miami and Erie Transportation
company, dominated the situation and
forced the nomination. of Captain Rich
ard b. Crawford, Of Massillon, over
Lorenzo ID. Hamlin, of Elyria, who was
the avowed and accepted candidate of
those who favored the retention of the
Ohio canals intact and in their i'm
provement by the state.
The following is the complete ticket
nominated:
Lewis C. Laylin. of Huron, for Sec
retary of state.
William T. Spear, of Trumbull. fol
judge of supreme court
Lawson Emerson, Of Belmont, for
clerk of supreme court.
Horace Ankeny, of Greene, for
dairy and food commissioner
Richard B. Crawford, of Stark, for
board of public works.
National delegates-Governor Her
rick, Senator Dick, Senator Foraker,
George b. Cox.
Alternates at large-Charles H. Gros-
venor of Athens; Warren G. Harding,

Williams a Worthy Leader.

Not since the days Of Randall and
Carlisle have the Democrats had
leader who tried by this test, was COM
petent to lead. The result has been
that the party was split into factions,
with little In common but a name. No
one holding the Office Of nominal lead
or had the intellectual and moral force
to subdue the refractory, Jealous ele-
ments and weld them by judicious dis
cipline into solidarity. Some part of
them were always plotting with the
other side for personal and sectional
favors and thus were seduced to con-
tribute to thwart any Arm, enduring
alignment in support Of professed prin-
ciples. Mr.. Williams has succeeded
where others have failed. He has won
his own followers to loyalty, or at
all events to a loyalty more cordial and
efficient than has been known for
years. He has accomplished this by
the wisdom, courage, tactfulness and
comradship Of his personal bearing
towards those on whom he was de-
pendent for support.-Boston Herald.
