UNTHINKABLE HEARST.
His Candidacy an Offense and
More than a Party Matter.

New York Evening Post.
The Evening Post has been reluctant to
speak of the presidential candidacy of w.
r. Hearst. We have felt it to be one OF
those things that need much washing to
be touched;'' and had hoped that it's gro
tesque and humiliating aspects would put
him out Of consideration by all but the
bought and rotten. But 1t is evident that
his unblushing campaign-based. as Dem
ocratic senator has said. purely upon 'cheek
and a check-book" making some head
way Hearst stands to-day, in fact, as
the greatest temptation TO the Democratic
party to play the fool and break its neck
again. Almost any other candidate prOmi-
nently mentioned would have a chance OF
election. and could preserve honor even in
defeat; but Hearst Is enough TO sink any
cause and damn any party.
The possibility of his securing the nomi-
nation-which decent men can contemplate
only with shudder-depends wholly upon
ignorance Of the man and his methods.
Hence the duty of public warning betimes.
1t is not simply that we revolt at Hearst's
huge yulgar'ty at his front OF bronze at
his shrleKing unfitness mentally, for the
ONCE which he sets out to buy. All this
goes without saying. There never has
been case of man of such slender intel
lectual equipment, absolutely without ex-
perience in Office. impudently Haunting his
wealth before the eyes of the people and
saying. Make me President" This is folly
This is to degrade public life But there is
something darker and more fearful behind
IL Is well known that this man has a
record which would make il impossible for
him to live through presidential cam
palgn-such cutters would be dragged.
TO the loathsOme subject Let those who
want a hint Of the repulSiVe details turn TO
the Congressional Record OF Jan. 5, 1897

kind OF milestone which would be hung
about Hearst's neck IL he were ever TO come

They cannot wish TO see the opposition de-
bauched. The example would be too gener-
ally demoralizing
We are Convinced that il is only neces-
sary TO set forth the facts in order to ma Ike
an end OF this unSpeakable candidacy
Hearst's record will crush him as soon as il
Is known. II is, obviously, better for the
party. better for the Nation. that il should
be known before the convention. After

that nominated him TO save even its honor

Bion II. Mccoy was petitioning for di
vorce from Alice Mccoy, who however. Sc
cured the decree on a cross-complaint. AS
evidence that he was deserving of divorce
Mccoy attempted to prove that his wife
was not affectionate and was untidy in
her care OF the home. He accused his wife
of letting the dirt in their rooms accumu-
late so long that il could not be swept out,
but that il was necessary to use a shovel.
This was denied by the accused, who volun-
tarily made the statement that she would
be willing to eat all of the dirt that could
be found in their apartments.
The divorce was granted Mrs. Mccoy on
the cross-complaint and a decree issued

Has LITTLE FAITH
IN CAUCASIAN RACE

Judge Walker. Of the Probate Court, yes
terday rendered his decision in the exam
ination that has been going on for the last
few days in regard to the soundness of
mind Of Miss Julia Root, and with her con-
sent trustee will be appointed to care
for her property. Had she refused this
proposition the court said that a guardian
would have been appointed for her person
and estate.
Miss Root is a daughter of Jerome Root
and niece of the late Deloss Root. She
has in her own name about 5000 worth Of
real estate on North Illinois street and a
considerable amount OF personal property.
One of the idiosyncrasies Of Miss Root
brought out in the evidence was her lack
OF confidence in white people and her abid-
ing trust in the race of opposite color.
A number of witnesses that testified for her
were colored people. In all her business
transactions she conducted herself ration
ally and several business men with whom
she had dealings testified as to their belief
in her sanity.

In addition TO it's scores OF other fea-
lures the Coliseum automobile show has
demonstrated to Chicago business men the
utility Of the auto for commercial purposes
This was clearly and forcibly illustrated
by the manager OF one OF the largest dis
plays in the building to the representative
OF a large local Wholesale dry goods house
Incidentally there have been four other
emissartes OF big Chicago houses at the
show investigating the claims and merits
OF the auto truck. What they saw and the
figures presented TO them have proved 10
lie revelations IN the possibilities of the
auto for concern that employs horses and
wagons to any great extent. Ii is claimed
and the figures are given below to sub
stantiate the statement. that one auto truck
will do the work OF three horse-drawn
vehicles
Apparently the statistics are incontro-
vertible. They are not based in any man
ner upon theory. All Of them are deduc-
lions from solid facts, based upon long
time tests. that have been made under the
most adverse conditions. The cars are
guaranteed TO do precisely what Is claimed
for Thorn and there Is not a snowbank or n
mud puddle which the cars cannot nego-
tiate. They will so anywhere that q horse

The figures were compiled by George A
Crane, resident manager Of the Knox Auto
Company. Mr.. Crane submitted them to

mitted that his figures were conservative
