Attest:- Chairman.
Jere B. Rex,
W. R. Andrews,
Secretaries.
Senator Cameron is reported to have
said that lie would not sit as a delegate
in the St. Louis convention. The con
firmation of this report would probably
spare Pennsylvania Republicanism an
embarrassing half hour.
rtcKinley's Splendid Chance.
It Is far from creditable to the Illi
nois supporters of Major McKlnley
that they should have felt compelled
to resort to falsehoods In their effort
to stampede the Republican voters of
that state away from Senator Cullom.
The story, elaborately magnified by the
Chicago . Times-Herald and other of
ficial and seml-olllclal McKlnley or
gans, that the Illinois senator had de
cided to withdraw as a presidential
candidute und that his letter of re
nunciation had already been written. Is
emphatically denied by Mr. Cullom,
and therefore looks like one episode In
n studied conspiracy of falsillcation to
which we doubtless owe the earlier
falsehoods of similar import about Col
onel Quay. No doubt these stories
were manufactured by irresponsible
persons, working on their own author
ity, and should not therefore be
charged against Major McKlnley, who
is a thoroughly honorable and upright
man: but they are none the loss to be
deplored, for the only possible effect of
them will be .to engender 111 feeling and
feed the fires of animosity.
It would afford us pleasure to be able
to say with truthfulness that we be
lieve the uprising for Major McKlnley
has been In all parts of the country a
spontaneous one, owing nothing to the
bosses; but we cannot say this. There
can be no possible doubt that so far as
Illinois is concerned it represents one
side in a battle of the rankest kind of
factionalism, the chief purpose of the
men behind it being not to honor Mc
Klnley but to work his potent name so
as to humiliate a distinguished states
man who in ability, experience and ma
turity of powers stands probably as far
in advance of William McKlnley as
McKlnley stands in advance of a re
spectable nonentity like, say, Governor
Morton. The anti-Cullom conspiracy
in Illinois, masquerading as it does in
Pharisaical pretensions of superior po
litical holiness and howling antl-boss-Ism
with the nervous energy of the
pickpocket crying "stop thief!" is as
little to the credit of the McKlnley
boom as It is vociferous In masking its
factional purposes In its vaunting of
the McKlnley colors.
If Major McKlnley wished to do a
graceful thing at a time when the need
of such a deed is apparent in his can
vass, he could not choose a better op
portunity than Is afforded by the mis
use to which his name is being subject
ed In Illinois. A letter to Herman H.
Kohlsaat or some other foremost leader
In the raid upon Shelby M. Cullom, re
questing him to desist from that un
seemly contest and suggesting that
Illinois Republicans should, as a matter
of common decency, support for presi
dent of the United States, so long as
he shall be a candidate, their able seni
or senator, whose services to Republi
canism, covering the whole period of
Republicanism's existence, fully war
rant such a comp'llment, would entire
ly remove from the public mind the
growing suspicion that Major McKln
ley is willing to acquiesce In knock-down-and-drag-out
politics so long as
It works to his advantage and that he
objects to that robust style of competi
tion, only when it does not go his way.
The obligations resting upon Illinois
Republicans to support Senator Cullom
are as weighty as were those once
resting upon Ohio Republicans with
reference to Senator Sherman. Major
McKlnley resented treachery to Sher
man Ilka n man n ml tk.aiM nmln
- " , ui tutw a. Humilia
tion over his shoulder rather than prove
recreant to his pledge. The chance to
rehuke a similar spirit of Irreverence
and Ingratitude , in Illinois is before
him, and he can avail himself of it In
a way to make himself ten times more
popular than before.
If H. It. Holmes had worked as hard
before he got into prison as he has
worked since at the "only authentic
confession" racket, he might today be
a free man.
At the McKlnley demonstration in
Philadelphia Saturday night only 1,200
persons were present, but this did not-
deter one of the organisers of the meet
ing from telegraphing to Canton, O.,
that the number was 10,000. It is pos
sible that this disproiiortlon between
fact and claim is true of the McKlnley
boom throughout.
.
The story now goes that Whitney
will soon withdraw his withdrawal and
put his presidential announcement In
the -Help" Wanted" column. Well, he
is welcome. The nomination of Whlt-
uey would make the fight Interesting.
Dallington Booth's Statement.
A formal statement of the reasons
which impelled them to sever their con
nection with the Salvation Army has
been Issued by Commander and Mrs.
ltallington Ilouth. The statement Is a
conlirmailon of the earlier Impression
that this separation was forced by ar
bitrary and dictatorial methods on the
part of the elder ltooth. A large por
tion of the statement refers to differ
ences of opinion which arose between
parent and son concerning details of
army work in this country differences
In which the son's suggestions were In
variably set aside with needless show of
discourtesy. This portion Is not of es
pecial interest outside of army circles.
Hut the statement further says. In re
lation to the elder Uooth's brief visit
to the United States: -From Hist to
lust he Impressed us with his displeas
ure with us personally, and with our
method of administering affairs. We
loved and understood this country. He
exhibited prejudice and misconception
of it and its people. He objected to the
display of the national llag upon our
badges and in our halls and homes. He
said the time had arrived to ceuse car
rying the Stars and Stripes at the head
of our parades. He objected to the use
of the eagle upon our crests and con
stantly spoke deprecatlngly of the
country. Its people and its institutions.
Our constant defense and explanation
in answer to his attacks only Increased
the difficult)'. With our affection for
and knowledge of America this placed
us In a most unfortunate position. He,
In consequence, showed little sympathy
with us. We have become
convinced that the system of governing
the work In this country from a foreign
center is neither wise nor practical."
Under these circumstances, assuming
the statement to be true (and this will
not be doubted by uny one who person
ally knows either lialilngton Hooth or
his estimable wife) the course pursued
by the lute American commander was
both proper and Inevitable. There can
be no question as to the Justification of
It. A religious organization, whatever
its ways in foreign lands, must not ex
pect to succeed in this country on a
platform of anti-Americanism. The
sooner this fact is realized In Its am
plest significance the sooner will there
be an end to disappointment for those
foreign exploiters of new schemes ec
clesiastical who look upon the United
Stutes as a lit experiment ground only
so long as the usufruct goes abroad.
The Philadelphia Times In a hesitant
sort of way predicts the nomination of
J. Donald Cameron on the Democratic
presidential ticket at Chicago next July.
The Times' political predictions are al
ways picturesque.
The Rapid Increase of Crime.
That truly wan a striking summary
of penological statistics presented by
ex-Pretiidont Andrew D. White in a
recent address before the Patrla club,
of New York. The thought which
arises after reading it, especially in
view of the census bulletin on crimes to
which reference was made in yester
day's Tribune, is, "Where will It all
end?" Are we to become a nation of
cut-throats?
Comparing the murders of 1S89 with
those of IMt'i Dr. White finds we use
the Philadelphia Times' synopsis of his
address that while there were 3,f6"
cases, or 08 to every million persons
in the former year, there were 10,500
murders, or 115 to every million of
population, In the year liist past; an
increase for the six years of 6.933 mur
ders and r7 per million inhabitants.
In 1SS9 one murderer out of 45 paid the
penalty of his crime on the scaffold;
in 1890 only one murderer in 74 was
executed. Lynching had. however, be
come rapidly frequent, and while the
population had. only Increased 25 per
cent., the murderers' butchers' bill hud
increased 50 per cent. Mr. White said
further that if all murderers at that
time were locked up there would be 43,
000 of them filling condemned cells,
while, in fact, there were but 7,351
homicides in prison.
Among the causes which have led to
this growth of homicidal crime, with
Its corresponding lack of proportionate
punishment, Dr. White cites the weak
ening of righteous indignation against
such crimes, and points out that long
deferred convictions have had a large
share; that there is too much maudlin
sorrow and sickly pity for criminals;
that legal proceedings have become' a
chance game; that chicanery and tech
nicalities have been too freely permit
ted; that the facilities for appeal and
retrials have been abused; that too
many escapes have been permitted, and
that the Gubernatorial power of pardon
has been outrageously abused. His
remedies Include the moral education
of the people, the practical examina
tion of criminal and charitable Instir
tullons; the remodeling of prisons ar
their punishment; the Ptrict punir""
ment of subsidiary crimes, and a fn'
eral development of the t'heory rnat
murder trials are not mere exhlllons
of defensive tactics; that verdicts 8ntt"
mean what they say; that long rplay
between arrest and trial shall bav.0,1.

the prices of farm products decreasing?
In New York state iwtatoea are so
cheap that farmers are burning them
for fuel; and In New York city men
and women are starving. Evidently
there Is a hitch somewhere in the dis
tribution of mundane blessings.

the reins on his own hook, nnd It wis
deemed good politics to let the Hlalrio
men have a fair show in the contest with

Heaver statesman did not ko to Hie con

be a miracle If the Uepulilicans could

Quuy was concerned In humoring them ro
that he could keep the parly Intact und
start out on a new basin of harmony.
In 1SS8 Quuy turned up at Chicago us
the head ami front of the John Sherman
boon, and steadily voted three-fourths of
the delegation for him. Sherman was not
a special favorite In Pennsylvania, nor. in
fuel, was there uny other candidate who
was. The lllalne sentiment had cool-d
down during his absence In Kurope, and
his "messages" from Florence ami Paris
were taken at 'their word by many of his
old followers. Wharton Harker was run

Judge Cresham: Alger had taken a look

word for Dcpew, who had not yet worn off
the gloss of his reputation by uu excess of
the genial blather that stales a public
num. Quay was then a pretty effectual
control.' and when the slate convention
met In the spring It was thought that Uon
Cameron might be conveniently used e
a favorite son until a somewhat foggy sit
uation had cleared Itself. Later on tho
word was passed around for Sherman, and
In the nutlonal convention (juay took nil
vantage of every opportunity of binding
him, though he discovered after the first
day he urrlved on the scene that a com
bine on somebody other than Sherman
was to be the Inevitable outcome. Penn
sylvania was very much in view during
the six long days of the convention, es
pecially when, to cay the climax of in
trigue und bewilderment, along enme the
Filter boom, radiant In the beautiful glow
of Charles Kmory Smith's enthusiasm,
and attracting the same attention as the
baby elephant by the side of the Bolivars
and Jumboes,
When Harrison was nominated he was
an entire stranger personally to Quay.
The two men had never met each other,
nor had they occasion to meet during the
whole time Quay was nuinuglng the bril
liant campaign or 1S8S. In fact, Quay's
intimacies with men outside of Pennsyl
vania up lo this time had been compara
tively restricted. He did not meet Harri
son for the II is t time until he quietly
went to Indianapolis a month after the
presidential election to consider the ques
tion of what should be done with the
movables. When ISM came Quay was
early and openly to the front under the
untl-Harrlson gonfalon. In Pennsylvania
there was a good deal of genuine Harri
son sentiment, but It was not strong or
deep-rooleil and most of the ofllec-Uoldeia
to whom Harrison's Interests were confid
ed were as much Interested In pleasing
Quuy us the president. Quay enme to the
conclusion that the one und only winning
curd was lllalne. It was somewhat amus
ing at the time to see a lot of politicians
who had helped to slaughter him In tlej
past announce themselves us Blaine con
verts, while not a few of Blaine's old
friends, who were under obligations to
Harrison, were puzzled as lo which way
they should turn. When the delegation
turned up at Minneapolis It was found
that 11 II but ten or twelve of the sixty
wore the Quay trade-mark. Quay's Judg
ment was that Harrison could be beaten If
the Idea could be tixed Into the minds of
the delegates not under the control of the
office-holders that lllnlne was, or would
be, a candidate. Hut Itlaine had been
wavering, all through the spring letting
"I dare not" wait upon "I would," so
that up to the eve of the convention there
was some trouble In convincing delegutes
thut he might- not recant his assurances
or buck out altogether, especially as lie
hail violated all precedent by sitting In the
cabined while allowing his name to be
used by the enemies of his ofllcinl chief.
Finallv, on the Saturday before the con
vention, v-hen the delegates were gather
ing nt Minneapolis and a bulletin was
posted 11.9 In the West House that the
secretary of state had resigned, the sit
uation maidenly changed, and the Quay
Clurkson combine felt that they would
carry the convention by storm. Quny,
ivho"resi."cted the real strength of Hani-
son moil than uny of his colleagues,
seemed A believe for a diiy or two thai
llarrlsol could not be nominated, and
certainty said so for the benelit of tiio
public a' loudly as he Is ever In the habit
of suylMS anything.
Whei the syndicate found In the con.
ventloi that nothing could be done with
rtlcliv. a desperate rush was made to
jtiepnlcy. Quay taking the Pennsylva
nia out for consultation ami iustruct
,w his friends In a hone!ess ort of way
(r follow Ohio and drop Itlaine. MeKin
ey was presiding over tho convention.
nnd to thoso near him It was evident that
' lie was nervous. He declared from the
platform, as he had done under somewhat
similar circumstances In Chicago In 1SM1
when an attempt was on to make him
the solution of the problem, that he was
not a candidate and must not be voted
for. Kor several minutes It looked as If
Ohio und Pennsylvania would stamped!
the convention und nominate McKlnley
In the samp fashion in which 'Horatio
Seymour wag once placed on the Demo
cratic ticket. But the Harrison organiza
tion was us well officered as the syndicate,
ami McKlnley ') iigltatlon was soon over.
Quay has contended ever since that h
and his friends would easily have defeated
Harrison If it had not been for the offi
holders with their solid south, and there
Is no doubt thut he Is right. Hut It was,
nevertheless a big blow to the Junta In
the nutlonal committee, nnd robbed them
of a prestige as manipulators. U was
the first time In the hliUory of the party
when such a combine had ever been com
pletely routed at every point In a national
convention, coming out of the contest
with absolutely nothing. It remains to
be seen In the next sixty days whether
Quay will start off for the first time in
his career with a presidential winner,
an Acq n.vri: i-miv.ate.
