The situation in the Republican party is very different from ; what it has --ver been before. I The quesrior, of platform has never bothp” u ’his party; its only trouble has to decide between its many candidates. The time has r ■ conn in this party when its cundM af.es for President must stand fur principle. The masses of the Republican party will no longer follow a man regardless of the platform upon which he stands. To-day thousands of men who call themselves Republicans are opposed to the single gold standard, while thousands of others are in favor of it. To-day thousands of its voters are opposed to this high trust breading tariff their party has given the country, while thousands of others think the more tariff the better. Hoc

to reconsile all these conflict ieg opinions, how to find a presidential candidate that can stand upon a platform that will command the respect and sup port of so many men of so many minds is the great task now be fore the once united and singled idea Republican party. “Czar’' Reed, of Maine, thinks the pic,' form upon which he can win iprotection with a double mean ing silver plank included. McKin ley would run upon protection alone. Cainron wants protect ion and absolute free and unlimited coinage of silver, and Harrisoi would like to run without any platform at all. Six months ago McKinley was the acknowledged logical candidate, now Col. Conger and many others of Ohio are pulling down the Hags ol McKinley and protection saying defeat is sure if protection is the issue and McKinley the candidate. Western Republicans are coming out in their state platforms demanding in plain, bold language the free and unlimited coinage of silver while their eastern brethren are quill ing and dodging the question, asking for international congresses, etc. People, Republican people arc learning that protection is a lie and a cheat. The work in congress the past three months has opened the eyes of many a Republican. They now see tha. their party’s tariff legislation has built up trusts that control the very party that was elected to reduce the tariff. New questions are coming to the front, .and thank the Lord some old questions are wearing down till they have but one side.
