SS ed Tue entire New York delegation will come to the Kansas City conven- tion instructed for Bryan. The Nebraskan will also have the support of the entire Empire state Democracy on election day. ——_—_+0+—____ Tue Itasca News says that Van Sant should be given the Republican gubernatona! nomination as an “apologization” for not receiving it two years ago. All right, Murray. That’s as good a reason as any presented. pee de Pe Now an investigation of the Cuban customs service is threatened, as it is clasmed that this branch is as rotten as the postal service. It is most ag- gravating that these little thefts of a few hundred thousand dollars should be brought to light this way just be- fore election. ep aS Tuomas BRACKET REED, who has been very generally suspected of being a Republican, says that if the choice lay between McKinleyism and 16 to1, he would choose the latter. And Thomas B. has never been accused of being particularly friendly to free silver, either. RR at ke Anp still another scapegoat 1s needed to take the blame for the blunders of the administration. Some sacrifice to public opinion is necessary in order that the truth about this Cuban business be kept a secret. The investigations thus far have implicated people very close to the White house. Ir must be a little disgusting toa | philosopher like J. Adam Bede to see how the Republican papers fawn and smirk when they mention him. They treat him like a wayward child that cannot be allowed to have what it asks for, but must nevertheiess be humored: in order to keep peace in the family. pate a RS GoverRNoR Linp arroused the ire of Secretary of State Berg by calling his attention to the fact that a large number of foreign corporations were doing business in the state without their having paid their prescribed fees, Berg is not the first man that the gov- ernor has angered by insisting that the laws of the state be complied with. —— a Take a Republican to one side and ask him: “Do you honestly expect j to elect Page Mornis this year?” and the chances are nine out of ten that he will languidly answer: “Oh, yes; I suppose we will have to now that he was given the nomination.” Many a delegate went to Duluth hoping that some other man would be the candi- date, but seeing how the machine had things fixed, thought it would be poor policy not to be in accord with it, ee Because Senator Hale of Maine, said that “the lesson of fraud, pecula- tion, cheating. appropriation of reve- nues, stealing, carnival in every direc- tion of corruption and fraud,” was one we should not have taught the Cubans, Senator Spooner of Wiscon- sin, called him a Democrat. It seems that in order to be a Republican in % - F 4 good standing a man must hold these things to be right and proper when | they are§ practiced by appointees of the present administration. “Witt Hanna run the campaign?” is asked in ‘large heudhnes in the daily press. Most likely. The Repub- licans cannot afford to let Hanna go, and they know it. Whatever may be said of him, he knows what it 1s necessary to do, and he does it. The fact that he is corrupt and em- ployes questionable means, makes no difterence—he gets results. Hanna is a totaily unscrupulous and conscience- less politician, but this is the only kind of a men that can run a Republi- can campaign. ees ge rene REPUBLICAN newspapers wiil have to employ the most acute discernment jduring the coming unpleasantness. They will point to the last Cleveland they wish to return to the conditions at that time prevailing by clecting Bryan. At the same time they will have to pat the gold Democrats on the back and ask them if they are going to repudiate the principles that Cleveland stood for by voting the Democratic ticket. The pcint is a fine one—so fine, in fact, that it is hable to prick anyone monkeying with it. et ae Ea a re-united Democracy is the daily announcements made by National Democrats to the effect that they will this year! stand with their former comrades in an effort to overthrow McKinleyism. Four years ago these men either voted the Republican ticket outright, threw their votes away on Palmer and Buckner, or went hunt- ing. This year thev will take their place in the ranks, and like the last square of the Old Guard, refuse to let anything dislodge them. They begin to feel that no choice in the matter is left them. Bryan and his platform are not exactly what they would wish, perhaps, but, being Americans, more tiously be parties to promoting. Pees eee et nancy Ir sEEMS that after all this fuss, C. H. Allen, although governor of Porto Rico, has no more power than a private citizen. A recent press dls- patch says that “delegations of country people march from an inner town, perhaps twenty miles away, bearing a petition to the governor general, as they formerly brought one to Gen, Davis, the military governor. Some demand ‘vork, others bread; all tell a tale of starvation. It cannot be ex- pected that the governor these people personally. His private secretary attends to them and they jare turned away diplomatically.” So that is what Allen was appointed ata fat salary for—to turn starving people away “diplomatically.” Efe is the civil head of the island and still he receives administration and ask the voters if One of the most gratifying signs of McKinleyism they cannot consclen- is absolutely powerless because the trimmings in the shape of an execu- tive council were not sent with him. How glad the hungry inhabitants must be to think that they are under a government that has their welfare so. much at heart that it sends them a governer, who, when they ask for bread or work er redress for wrongs, possesses the marvelous executive ability to have them “diplomatically” sent back home by his private secre- tary. a We desire to say just here that we do not care a fig for those pale party lines separating the three wings of the fusion forces, The difference between a Democrat and a Silver Republican and a Populist, is simply the dif- ference between tweedle-dum and tweedle- dee. As a matter of fact, the difference too slight to warrant the keeping up of three party organizations; and it is high time for the three wings to act like thoughtful and earnest men, to get together and stay to- gether, rather than like a lot of silly boys.— Duluth Tribunal, That’s what we call good horse sense. This thing of cat-hauling over which section of the fusion forces the nominations shall go to has been the cause of electing many a Republican. No parties a candidate hails from, he ex- pects the full vote of the other two as confidently as that of his own clan, and should give his support to any candidate belonging to either of the others. We agree with Bro Mitchell that this thing of maintaining three organizations, all fighting for practi- cally the same principles, is something that should be dene away with. poorer Se Ty Correct Form in Leiter Writing. To every one outside of the family circle the Christian name and sur- name should be written in full.
