It isl not doubt as to McKinley’s currency viewß that is keeping his opponents awake of nights. It is certainty as to his nomination that robs them of their sleep and their peace of mind. “No man gets on so well in this world as he whose daily walk and talk are open and clean, whose heart is and whose life is honorable. Areligious spirit helps every man.”— Wm. McKinley. ‘fThe admonition of Lincoln —to ‘care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan’— will never be forgotten or neglected so long as the Republican party holds the reins of power. Full justice will always be done to the soldiers and sailors of the Union.”— Wm. McKinley. Daring the last year the town of Bradford, England, increased its exports of coatings to the United States from $1,200,000 to $7,500,000 and of “stuff goods” from $1,200,000 to $8,400,000. It is hardly necessary to add that the people of Bradford enthusiastically indorse our Democratic tariff policy. s

Within a week there has been a concerted attempt to discredit Mr. McKinley because he will not, at this tinje, make a new and explicit declaration upon the currency. This movement was begun by the Free Traders, who regard with a not unreasonable alarm the astonishing evidences of Mr. McKinley’s popularity. Their purpose is to endeavor to counteract the flowing of the tide of opinion toward high Protection, by diverting the people from the Tariff issue to the currency issue.—The Manufacturer.

The Rochester Republican wants to> be recorded as“fernenst” celer brating tbe one hundredth anniversary of Indiana with a big exhibition that will co§t the state a vast sum of money- A display of flags, a grand procession and volumes of oratory will be all sufficient to commemorate the important event, and Indianapolis can furnish the board for the multiplied thousands of native Hoosiers who will congregate at the state capital. The terrible state debt created by Democratic inefficiency, some y ears ago, needs to be liquidated before an additional expense is added in the exhibition of our agricultural, mechanical and educational facilities. —Rochester Republican.

Major McKinley’s military record will be a strong point in his favor during the coming campaign. He enlisted as a private in the regiment of which Gen. William S. Rosecrans was Colonel, when Ibbb than 18 years of age. He was promoted on his merit first to .Commissary Sergeant, then to Second Lieutenant for gallantry at Antietam and was latter promoted to Major by brevet. He . was popular With his superior officers, among whom was Gen. Rutherford B. Hayes, and enjoyed the esteem of his comrades in a high degree. While the military record, of McKinley is overshadowed by " his civil services it will nevertheless be a pleasant theme for the veterans to dwell upon and will insure him the most cordial support of the soldier element.

The unwarranted effort and indecent haste of an over-officious committeeman in one county to call a judicial convention to nominate a sucessor to Judge Wiley, within two days after his nomination for Appellate Judge, received a merited rebuke at the hands of the chairman of the other two counties in their refusal to sign the call. It is not customary to appiont an administrator of the estate of a person who is still in the flesh.—Kentland Enterprise. While we endorse what our esteemed Newton County contemporary says in the above paragraph, we should like to ask why it would not have been better to have spoken more plainly, while speaking at ion of the chairman of Benton County that it was censuring, and that of Jasper and Newton it was commending. As the Eenterprise paragfaph leaves the matter, it is apt to do injustice to the chairmen of the other two counties.
