REVOLVING HYPOCRISY.
The offence is deepened by the revolving
hypocrisy which, TO avert public indigna-
ton when the fatal blow had been struck
and that strong and gentle spirit had de-
parted, lauded the dead President to the
skies and said of him in the New York
Journal
Nowhere in the history Of great mems
lives. or of great mems deaths. can be
found such resignation and deep religious
faith as marked the last hours OF William
Mckinley. He faced the other world and
the other life with the quiet, confident hope
Of a man who had done his best. Slowly
the hearts strength died out. II had car
ried him through two vars, through many
political battles. through many long days
of toll through many years OF hard work
and serious purpose. He began life as
a simple ChTistiaR citizen. He worked
hard. He interested himself in his country's
welfare. He succeeded: he reached the
highest place in the nation. He exercised
and represented the greatest of earthly
powers. He was called a second time to
the highest position that men can give
10 any man. He ended his life az he began
tia simple. Christian citizen.
Is there no one left who loved Mckinley
Are there no working men left in New
York who cannot see with satisfaction
honors heaped upon the man who is not
g%uilt!ess Of McKinley's death?
The anne kind of teaching is being con-
tinued now month by month and day by
day in the Hearst journals. Its legitimate
consequence, If continued, must he other
weak dupes PLAYING the role Of Czolgosz:
other McKinIeys stretched upon the bier;
discord and bloody strife in place of the
reign of peace and order throughout our
fair land. 1t is not the spirit Of Washing

nef and of Bielostok.

Men Of New York, do YOU love your
country? Are you not proud Of your country?
Are not it's liberty, its justice, it's equal
laws. the best that weak and errinR men
have ever vet attained in this world? Have
not those of you who have come to us from
other lands found better conditions of life.
better employment, better wages. greater
personal Independence and dignity, better
opportunities for your children than ever
before? Do you wish to join your voices
TO that which declares this freest of repub-
lies, this foremost result Of government by
the people, to be all vile and rotten and
disgraceful?
The public knows the character Of Mr..
Hearst only by the newspapers he publishes;
and God forbid that we should set up in
the high station of Governor of New York,
for the admiration and imitation of our
children, the man whose character il re-

WHAT HEARsrs ELECTION woULD MEAN.
The election of his violent extremist
would inevitably lead 70 a reaction against
all true reform and genuine redress OF
grievances. There is no enemy of true
reform so fatal as sham reform: there ia
no enemy of the sincere and faithful public
servant who is seeking by patient and well
directed effort to frame and TO enforce
lust laws. like the selfish agitator who is
seekin. his own advancement: there ia no
aIly Of unscrupulous wealth so potent as
the violent extremist who drives good
honest and conservative men away from
the cause of true reform by the violence of
his words and the intemperance of his ex-
cessive PROPOSALS.
