Jovernor McKinly is so intimately as
sociated w ith the economic iiolicies of the
l.epuliiieaii party that he is commonly re
garded as a tariff del later rather than an
orator of commanding presence, stateli
nessof mumier and dignity of diction.
His address this week in Auburn, the
historic scene of many of Mr. Seward's
most notable, orations, was a ret elation
of the reserved uwerand admirable gifts
of one of the most ai-complishcd men in
American public life. It whs a familiar
talk on patriotism, which he defined com
prehensively as the best politics; and it
was characteri7.ed from U'giuniug to end
with nobility of thought, with purity of
sentiment ami with sympathetic appre
cialiain of the supreme viriue of consecra
tion to country. No linertrilmte haslaeen
paid to the sacrifices and sufferings of the
veterans of the w ar than this eloquent ad
dress contained.
Not one word in tlovernor McKinley's
oration on patriotism was intended to
have any (olilical significance tat partisan
effect ; Imt no one could have listened to
it without being impressud with the es
sential difference Itclween the soldier's
ideal of consecration to country and anoth
er ideal of w hich the American people
have heard frequeut mention during re
cent years. The patriotism which in
spired the veteran soldier's reminiscences
and eloquence was licit hrr preached from
the hoiix'lops nor proclaimed in rhctori
cal phrase, but simply practisHl, and
never ly proxy. It involved fighting for
home and principles, alumdonment of
business and cherished plans, the sunder
ing of family Winds and social relations,
exssure l hunger, thirst, disease, death
and the horrors of imprisonment. That
wascniisccraliani which liegan and ended
with saTiti:-e. Thirty years ajjo herois.n
was the hahit of every American w hose-
life was worth living, and the bravest
soldier would not have ventured to strike
an attitude and with word or gesture con
sa.-cratc himself to his country.
That ideal of silent, self-sacrificing de
votion ta country is old-fashioned now.
A now (reiteration has sprung up, which
dares to speak contemptuously of the vet'
era i is of the war as mercenary pension
grabbers. It offers cheap incense at the
shrine of a self-conscious (Mimical leader.
who is in a chronic state of turgid plati

DEXOCSACY BRANDED.
Party Treaehe'y and 1if honor. What the
President Really Thought of the
Gorman Tariff.
livery true Ilcinocrat aud every sincere
tariff reformer knows that this bill in its
present form and as it will lie submitted
to the conference falls far short of the
consummation for which we have long
labored, for which we have suffered dt
feat without discouragement, which in its
anticipation gave us a rallying cry in our
day of triumph, ami which in its promise
of accomplishment is so interwoven with
IteiiKM-ratic pledges and lleuiocratic suc
cess that our aliandonmeiit of the cause of
the principles upon which it rests means
party perfidy and party disliainor. M"i7'
WITH ITS VIOLA HONS OF ntlXCII'I.K.
It is quite :tpKirent that this quest inn of
free raw materials does not admit of ad
justment on any middle ground, since
their subjection to any rate of tariff taxa
tion, great or small, is alike violative of
iH-mocratic principle and iK'ntas-ratic
pood faith. M'ilmm IrltT.
AMI firi ltAOKors MsrltlMIV ATIOXS.
It must lie admitted that no tariff meas
ure can accord with iK'inoeratic princi
pies and promises or bear a genuine
Iiemocratic badge that dot not provide
for free raw material. In the circum
stances it may well excite our wonder
that iK'iiioerats are willing to depart from
this, th most IK'inoeratic of all tariff
principles, and that the inconsistent al-
surdity of such a (imposed departure
shoubl lie emphasized by the suggestion
that the wool of the farmer lie put on the
free list and the protection of tariff taxa
tion lie placeal around the iron ore aud
coal of corjxirations ami capitalists. How
ran we f:-e the peple after indulging in
such outrageous discriminations and vio
lations of principles? Wilmiu Isttrr.

The Iieimx-raa-y of the land plead most
earnestly for the Kpeedy completion of
the tariff legislation which their repre
s.titatives have undertaken ; Imt they
demand not less earnestly that no stress
of necessity shall tempt those they trust
to the abandamment of Iiemawratic prin
ciples. Wiljoim Lrtter.
WHAT HK THINKS OF IT STH.U
Hut there are provisions in this bill
whi h are nat in line with honest tariff
reform, and it contains inconsistencies
and crudities which ought not to appear
in tariff laws or laws of any kind. Ila
side, there were, as you and I well know,
incidents accompanying the passage of
the bill through the Congress which
made every sincere tariff reformer un
happy, while influences surrounded it in
its latter stage anal interfered with its fi
nal ooiistnu-lion which ought not to tie
recognised or tolerated in lleuiocratic
tariff reform counsels. (ttching lsttrr,

Czar' i Brain Affected.
The startling reMirt lias come from
St. Pcterslturg tha: the Czar is afflicted
w ith cerebral trouble ; that this arises
from a seriams ailment of the kidnevs
and that his symptoms are so alarming
tliat prayers for his recovery have been
ordered twice at Court.
The Rusaian Kmperor, as an outgrowth
of the cerebral ailment, suffers from
mental depression, and his oouditiam of
mind and Issly is reported tai lie such as
to cause the gravest anxiety at St Peters-

Breckinridge, However, Hope to Win hy
Contest.
laKXixoTox, KyM Sept lrt. The result
of the Rreekitiridgo- Iwens contest for the
congressional nomination at tho priuiariei
yesterday is somewhat in doubt, al
though Owens appears to have a small
majority. The friends of Ureekinridge
will not acknowbslge that their mm: is
defeateai, Imt still stick to it that he will
come ul ahead. .While tiny conc.'de
Owens a majurity ofl)2, they say a contest
w ill be made and that Breckinridge w ill
win.
The Owens men, on tho other hand,
say their candidate has won, and that
ifany fraud is allcmptetl by the other
side there will e blo.sl-.lied in Ken
tucky. Several of Rreek in rial ge's closest friends
have lieen busy all day figuring on the
returns They have come t tho con
clusion that iwens only has lt(2 majority.
Statements to this effect Hie ls.-ing sent to
the Ureekinridge committeemen in each
county in the district, with instructions to
thoroughly investigate the vote in their
counties, so that liefore next Saturday,
the day set for canvassing the vote ami
declaring the nominee, they will Is? asked
to furnish sufficient facts to warrant a
contest being made. According to the
rules wherever a contest is siistaincal in a
precimt the entire vote of that precinct is
thrown out. Six of the 10 district com
iniltieuieii are friends of Rreekiiiridg.i.
Should the co!iiiui:t-e le l ire him the
nominee a protest would go up from the
entire distiict and a Republican would
have a iH-tter chance of Is-ing elected to
Congress,
While there were a miiulier of fights in
tho various Voting precincts throtigliout
the district, not more than one w ill result
in murder.
WONKX 11 IS BITTKKRST KOKS
The W. C. P. Rreckinri.lge "campaign
of vindication'' prai-tically Is-gan sax in
after the verdict iu the Madeline Pollard
case was rendered in April, although
Colonel Itreckinritlge did not obtain
leave of alutence from Congress to devote
most of his attention to his campaign
until early in July. It was during his
first visits to the district after the Pollard
suit that ho realized something of the
nature and extent of the onxisitioii he
w amid have to meet.
He found two tremendous forces or
ganizing against him, the women ami
the churches. One of the first of thoso
organizations was the Lcxingtam "Wom
en's Anti-Itreckinridgo Club," whia-h
raised thousands of dollars to spend in
any manlier which promised to help
defeat liret-kiiiridge ami elect Owens
Itreckinritlge went intai the actual bat
tle in July, liackctl by the Federal oHiee
holders of the district, by the county ami
Sttitc organization of his party, anil to
saune extent by tho National Congres
sional Committee in Washingttm. It was
not a very formidable array, but the
leatler was a force in himself, through
his keen knowledge of practical (silitics
his undoiibleal, eloquence, and a capacity
for continuous hard work which is noth
ing less than marvelous
At the 1 it-ginning of the campaign
Hreekiiiridge assumed the role of a meek
and lowly rcpenteiit He confessed, dc
clarcal himself sanctified by rcH'iitancc,
anil sought forgiveness aud sympathy.
Rut this attitude hail to lie abaiialoneat
The opHisitioii gave him no quarter. W,
C. Owens Ids youthful opiouciit, was
out for light, not palaver. Most of all,
the women hooted the repentance dodge.
Then the cimpuigii grew hotter. Breck
inridge talked less of rcieiitaiice ami for
giveness, having that to the few church
friends who had rallied to his supiort,
ami devoted his own energies tai reiclliug
the fresh charges made against him, and
making charges iu return.
Rapidly the w hole Mipulation of the
district la-came involved in the contro
versies of the. campaign. Rut always
the women were iu the lead. Their
chilis adopted mle: calculated tti prevent
any of .the gallant young men of the
district enlisting under Rreckinridge.
