THE BOODLE TICKET, iwdIMf ,m4 ItMravto McKinley is Dominated, and the ReSblican party is before the country. ie nomination was secured by a money campaign two yean long, says the St Louis Republic. The Republican party, bought with the cash put up by McKinley’s investing backers, proposes to buy his election with cash pledged by the financial interests of New York and New England. Foraker painted a rhetorical picture of what a presidential candidate should represent I The man he put in nomination for president and tho*nan nominated for the rice presidency represent nothing that the American people love or admire, Neither has performed an act of power o rwisdom. Money and bargains were the burden of the song that foretold their nomination. Plenty of money for campaign funds, plenty of money to buy southern states, to “soap” close northern states, to attract avaricious political workers who remember the pickings of a blocks of five distribution. McKinley represents a repudiated doctrine and a confessed iniquity of legislation. The most shameless party in the country’s history is not hardened enough to ask in its platform for a vindication of tire only measure, the only idea, with which he has eyer been publicly associated. He is put forward w ith aa apology. What McKinley and Hobart represent consists of a few thousand owners of powerful, consolidated moneyed corporations in a few states on the Atlantic seaboard. “Tki9 is our tariff,’’said a Philadelphia manufacturer in 181)0; “we bought and paid for it ” “This is oar ticket” the bankers and tariff barons are saying of McKinley mid Hubert; “we have vouchers to show how much it cost us. ” I

L Urki Inspiration. L Enthusiasm for McKinley is lacking everywhere outside Ohio. The leaders from Platt to Lodge, fall into line as a I- matter of course. But the average Re- : publican doesn’t relish the success j gained by the silent man of Ohitv He’ realises tha‘, while old ‘[‘bosses” mar have bi'en sent to the reair. a new boss has forged to the front, and that Republican succors next November means Hanna rule, with all that it implies. — _ Boston Globe. Gymnastics Arc In Order. ; ' McKinley is nominated, but the McKinley bill can never be resuscitated The issue in which the major is su-premely-interested will be relegated to the rear, and the issue which 1h* cares nothing about will be brought to the front. It will be interesting to watch the gymnastic contortions of the candidate while he tries to stand upou his platform.—Boston Globe.] McKinley'* Connection With Tin Pint*. Do the tin plated politicians who are ! marching on Canton with tin banners j **know enough to know” that the tin plate now manufactured in ibis country is not wade under the McKinley law? The most conspicuous' connection Governor McKinley ever had with tin plate was with the bunko performance atPiqua a few years ago. —Cincinnati Enquirer. Repudiate* Flia Record. , It is a weak ticket, and the fact that | the platform repudiates the record McKinley has made ou the currency question; and the further fact that the “people have reject* d McKinley s high tariffism with emphasis will serve to am utuate its dubious character.—Detroit Free Press. Strictly liutlumtt. Mr. Hanna assur'd tin- national committee tliat he had oondr.end the campaign “in amvdawv with strict business integrity.” This ujieans that lie paid every Vgitimate bill, kept all of his promises and fultilhd his vote contracts. —Exchange.

LIKE POTTER’S CLAY, M'KINLEY IS A TOOL IN THE HANDS [■ OF THE TRUSTS. Accepted Their Money as a Gift to Pay HI* DebU-Hle Record m a Public Serna! CanTorj-Bobart Uh Nothin* bat His •Bar to Recommend Him. The trusts’ candidate for the presidency. William McKinley of Ohio, is, personally, one of the most adroit and conning politicians that this age of politicians has yet produced, says the Kansas City Times. He is a demagogue of the first water, as smooth a stump speaker as ever gulled a gaping crowd with campaign catch cries and anecdotes, and his character can be estimated best, perhaps, from this one fact, that he became a bankrupt several years ago, although engaged in no occupation save politics, and when Mr. Mark Hanna and several other millionaire presidents of trusts made up a purse and paid his debts ho accepted the money as a gift and has been like potter’s clay in their hands ever since. Mr. McKinley’s record as a public servant is sh'irt. and still more unfortunate in its results than his management of his private affairs. As governor of Ohio he held office for two terms and left an empty treasury when he went qut of office. As congressman from Ohio he became j a candidate for the speakership, and, be- j ing badly beaten by Thomas B. Reed, j congressional etiquette required that he j should bo appointed chairman of the i ways and means committee* This com- j mittoe prepared a tariff bill, with the assistance of the manufacturers and ! presidents of great monopolies, who j wrote their ewu figures of protection, j

so called, in the bill, and in spite of the indignant remonstrance of that master spirit of the Republican party, Janies G. Blaine, 'who smashed his hat upon the committee’s table and declared that the bill would not create a new markc% for nor raise the price of a pound of meat or a bushel of grain produced in tins country, the committee succeeded in passing the McKiuley bill through congress. ; . r The results of the McKinley bill, stated in brief, from the date of its passage in 1890 to Aug. 28, 1894, when it was repealed, wen' as follows: First.—Under its provisions prohibiting competition over 100 trusts were organized, covering nearly all the necessaries and comforts of life, including food, clothing, lumber, nails, agricultural implements, glass, coffins, coal, iron, steel, cotton ties, etc. Second. —Although the McKinley act increased the average rate of protection to the manufacturers about 25 per cent, there was not a single raise of wages in a protected iudnstry after its passage nor until its repeal. Third.—From the passage of the Me Kinley act in 1890 up to November, 1892, there were over 1,200shut downs, lockouts and strikes in the industries "protected” by its tariff rates. Among these was the “culminating atrocity of McKinleyism, *’ the ^Homestead strike, in which thousands of American wage earners were turned out to starve and, when they resisted, shot down by Pinkerton’s constabulary. , Fourth.—The McKinley act caused a steady falling off in the revenues of the government, from over $$00,000,000'of surplus left by the Cleveland administration in I8t>9 to a deficit in the last fiscal year of its operation, from June 80. 1898, to June 30, 1*94, amounting to $72.000,0'0. ' Fifth.—The disinterested and best posted political economists of the country, Republican as well as Democratic, declared that the McKinley act divided the honors with the Sherman purchasing act of causing the terrific panic of 1893, from the effects of which the country is even now slowly recovering. Sixth.—Under [vhe operation of the McKinley act the prices of clothing and nearly ail the necessities of life wore raised so high as to bo in many cases entirely out of the reach of a workingman and his family, and such a thing as a wholesome, healthful woolen suit of clothes or woolen dress became a rarity among persons ol ordinary means. Mr. McKinley’s running mate, the Republican bosses’ candidate for the vice pn*sidenoy, is Mr. G. A. Hobart, ostensibly from New Jersey, but in j reality a New York clnbiuan and idler, i His political biography is, like most Republican virtues, a negative quau

titv, bat he has a bar l, anu he is the faithful tool and servant of innumerable other “bar'Is” in and around New York. His money is expected to pair the ticket through the tight places. All in all, the Republican party has from its standpoint done its work well, through its In ad boss, Hanna, and the ticket far Ih&G may be fairly classed as a typical Republican ticket. But if then* is a tithe of the patriotism of our forefathers left in the land the trusts’ ticket will be buried but of sight in November, as The Times earnestly hop«si and bedieves it will Don't Know Whtra to I’lut It. McKinley evidently regards the Republican nomination this year as a dog does an extra bone, only he doesn’t know in what part of the garden to bury it—-Atlanta Constitution. "X Barry Far It v*‘Wno made McKinley?” shouted the Rebd-tecn. And then they answered, “Reed made him!” But how sorry Reed is npw that he did that Job.—St Louis Post - Dispatch. Pear Salgact Far Eathulaun, The eonveutiau orators showed to little advantage. It is difficult to grow eloquent over as poor a subject as McKinley.—Exchange. Ha’ll Probably Flag. If Governor Morton now plugs hit bar’l for the rest of the year, who shall ^ttthial-St Louis Post-Dispatch.

NO REASON FOR A SPLIT. th« Democracy Will Be Gaided by tbe Will of the Majority. The most significant feature in politics in tbe last few days is the unanimous agreement of the leaders who have been interviewed that the:}' will bo no split in the Democratic party, says the Kansas City Times. The reports of the inevitable split have been exceedingly common for some time, but they can almost all be traced to Republican politicians and newspapers which mistook their wishes for facts. The strongest argument against there being any truth in the predictions of the Republicans in regard to the Democracy is that there is no reason why there! should be any split It is true the Dem- J ocrats have been divided on the currency question, but Democracy means something more than a question of the amount of silver to be coined by the government. The Democratic party is considerably older than any of its members. It has a long and brilliant record behincTTt It has fought aud won its victories not on a single issue, but because it was the party of the people. Every question presents itself to the Democratic party only as it is or is not a measure in the interests of the people. In this way the Democracy met the. tariff question and enlisted itself against the trusts and in favor of the people. * So it is with the question of the free coinage of silver. The Democrats as individuals could not agree as to whether free silver was or was not in the interests of the people. At the Chicago convention, however, the national Democracy will proceed to ballot on the question. When the national Democracy has announced its decision as to what system of currency is best for the people, it will be the duty of every Democrat to accept the decision. What constitutes Democracy? Not. the opinion of A. or B. or C., but the opinion of the whole Democracy of the j United States. It would be absurd for any indiivdnal to put himself above the j whole party and declare that unless the j rest of the Democrats adopted his ideas I he would not ^act with them. Such a thing would'lead to the disruption of | the party over every question, no matter j how small. It would lead to the saeri- j fioe of the people’s interests, for the only way to secure legislation in the int erests of the people is through the J Democratic party. For this reason the) Democratic principle of submission to the will of the majority should be regarded by every man who calls himself a Democrat.

RESORT TO SLANDER. President Cleveland Abused For Di* Veto of the River and Harbor BUI. It is not a satisfaction, but a grief, to find a Republican newspaper of ordinarily good editorial standing like the' Mmneapolis Tribune competing with various others for the prize medal of! aiusivenesg toward President Cleveland, and of advocacy of * Populist theory. We art' amazed; at the matter which The Tribune has scon tit to admit to its columns concerning the president's veto of the river and harbor bill. In its first article,'.criticising an act which every thoughtful citizen approves—namely, the veto of an appropriation of nearly C-so.OtXLOOO from an empty trt usury, The Tribune, not satisfied with tlio expression of an opinion, proceeded to revamp and rehash the abusive and lying slanders aimed by the Populists at Mr. Cleveland in connection with the lad b ud issue. Whatever else The Tribune may net know—and we make a liberal allowance of its acquirements in that direction—it does know Mr. Cleveland’s perfect honesty and his devotion to the best interests, of this country, according to his ideas, whether they be right or wrong. It knows that no fouler lie was ever uttered than that which would smirch the character of the president for his policy in the most difficult emergency that has confronted any adminis tration since the war.—St. Paul Globe. A Recognition of Honesty. The indorsement of President Cleveland's administration by the Kansas Democrats shows that they nave been studying the recent history of the United States. A braver, more upright and more economical administration has never been g.veu to the people by imy man who ever filled the president's chair. It is a matter of pride to all Democrats that the Kansas Democrats recognized the eminent services of President Cleveland in spite of their honest disagreement with him on the que stion of free silver.—Kansas City Times.

St HI Cncxplaioed. In a speech in the senate recently Senator Sherman said that “more revenue meant more taxation, sucked with the tremendous force at laov from the production of labor and burning deeper the stripes into the shoulders of labor. ” Yes, indeed. Then, why have we had this second extravagant billion congress? Why has there not been a judicious cutting down of expenses? Why has there been so much prating about a tariff bill as a revenue measure?—Cincinnati Enquirer. Tlw Steel Treat la OIooojj. The Iron and Steel trust is very indignant over the report that they can ship pig iron to England. They admit that 500 tons were shipped recently, but they are very gloomy over the prospects far continuing the shipments. There was never a time when a trust could not take a gloomy view of the situation in order to get more power to put up prices outrageously. —Exchange. , FmU Omlookcd. The Republicans who are talking of “Democratic free trade” overlook the fact that the Wilson tariff was practically as high as any tariff we ever bad except the ruinous McKinley act. The trouble with the Wilson act is only that it is too high, but in time that can be remedied. —Exchange.

Base Ball. The Pirates, after defeating the Vincennes team Wednesday of last week by a score of 8 to 1, turned their attentiou to the Evansville K-l league team on Thursday. Greene and McCarty were m tine points for the itnme team and Stone and ltutledge for the leaguers. The Pirates played steady bail and won by the following score: Innings ,1 3 3 4 5 6 I 8 9 K H E‘ Evausviile 0 U 0 0 0 0 0 tKt) 0 2 10 Petersburg 0000 2 0 01*8 6 4 On Friday the Selvm team, undefeated as they had been up to ihis time, met thdr Waterloo. Blair started into pitch for the Pirates, but the rhard game he pitched against the Vincennes club gave him a lame arm, and tiostetter took his place in the fourth inning, when the visitors failed to get onto his balls and went out in one, two. three order. Whittiugid ami Easley were in the {minis for the visitors and Blair, Hostetter and McCarty for the Pirates. The following tells the tale of the slaughter:1 Innings 13 8 456780 U H E Selvin 081000000 4 5 12 Petersburg 11235418*30 16 6 Monday, the Moekmans ot Princeton, came over with the avowed purpose of knocking Greene out of the box right on tlie jump, but for some unaccountable reason they simply fanned the air, ten of them striking out. flreene’s supjmrt was all that could be asked except in the fourth inning when two errors gave the visitors as many runs, when they should have been retired. Jones and Moore were the battery for the visitors and Greene and McCarty for the Pirates.,- The score tells the story of the defeat of the famous Princeton club: Innings 1 2 3 4 3 6 7 8# R II K Prim-etou (M) U 2 0 0 0 U 0 2 3 5 Petersburg 1 0 0 1 l 0 2 0 * 5 10 4 The Petersburg* have l»een greatly strengthened by lhostetter and Smith. The former is an all round player ami a fine pitcher a hard sticker and good- has*' run-m-r. Smith is the hardest hitter on the team and lines her out every time at bat. Blair is playing u steady game in the box. and at si >rt. Abridge at second and Miller at first eanuot be surpassed in any amateur club. Petersburg has the strongest team in the state barring Indianapolis and is open to dates for ail vomers. They have shut out Washington, Evansville and Jasper this season, and have lost but four games this season, which is a splendid record lor an amateur club. The dub is composed of •gentienumiy bait-ftayers and no rowdyism is a do wed by Um management. '
