PENROSE HHS Jl PUNK FOR PIRIFORM Tlie lilMtiiiculnlieil Vonou t'eiinsyl VH II In II Tells Why tin- I "refill en I lias Wou the Confidence anil Admira tion of the People. iSpeclal CorrespondenccA Philadelphia. May HO.- Pennsylvania is likely to be the first state iu the Union to declare through tlie Republi can organization in favor of Hie re noaiination of President McKinley. At. the coming state convention Senator Penrose will advocate a plank iu the platform which will not only com mend the administration of President McKinley. hut declare in emphatic language in favor of his reuomination and re-election to tlie presidency. Thi:> program has the hearty approval of Colonel Quay, who will himself he a delegate to the Republican state con vention.and who lias already been suggested for the chairmanship of the committee oil resolutions of that body. Senator Penrose is proud of the fact that early in 1895 he publicly aiinouuc ed his preference for Major McKinley for the presidential nomination, and that on several occasions the president has. in the course of conversations, referred to this circumstance. "1 am unquestionably iu favor o' President McKinley's renomination,' was the prompt and emphatic response which Senator Penrose gave when ask ed if he cared to discuss the national political outlook. "President McKin ley," continued the senator, "saved the country from the industrial depression and commercial uncertainty brought on hy the free trade administration of Cleveland, and rescued our people from the dreadful apprehensions of disaster and revolution involved in the candidacy of Bryan. The results ob tained by his election have been be yond the most sanguine expectations. The country a short time after his in auguration and following the passage of the Dingley bill at. the extra session of congress, so promptly and wisely called by him. entered upon a period of uuexampled prosperity. In fact, never in the history of the world has such an exhibition of industrial and commercial development been witness ed. The money question, while not definitely settled, has ceased to be a disturbing factor as long as a Republi can president is in ofllce and Republi can majorities in the house and senate are assured to uphold the pledge In the Republican national platform for a sound currency. The question will he taken up at the approaching session of congress, anil will be disposed of satisfactorily. • M'KINLEY'S GREAT WAR RECORD. "The unexpected event in tlie admin istration and one of the greatest events in our history was tlie wai with Spain." continued Senator Penrose, as he took up the stirring period of the McKinley administration. "I'pon this occasion the greatness of President Mc- Kinley showed itself. He recognized early that the moral sentiment of the people were shocked beyond endurance by the cruelties and barbarities of the Spanish government. The greatness of the president was shown in the fact that at this critical Juncture he made every possible effort to avoid a war. He exhausted every method to counsel moderation among his own country men and to secure peaceful results by diplomatic negotiations. To the young, patriotic military spirit in the nation the condition of affairs had become in tolerable. and war was forced upon the country. The splendid confidence felt at the time in the wisdom and in tegrity of McKinley was shown by the prompt and unanimous passage by congress of the first loan required by the war. In a few moments, without debate and without restriction, the enormous sum of 150.000.00u was placed at the disposal of the president, and during the war both parties iu con gress at all times, by their vigorous support of the administration, gave evi dence of their confluence in the presi dent's high patriotic purpose. "During the active operations of the war the president kept in close touch with all the military and naval ma neuvers. No one who did not come in contact with the president at the time can appreciate the enormous responsi bilities and burdens imposed upon him at this period. Ail through the day and often up until long after midnight the president endured an enormous physical strain, aud with untiring in dustry and wise sagacity successful ly met the serious problems which continually confronted him. QUESTION OF NEW TERRITORY. "At the conclusion of the war the United States was obliged to face a serious problem of outlying territories, which were not wanted and were un expectedly acquired. In dealing with this serious question the president again exhibited his clear political in sight and his broad American patriot ism. Cuba is temporarily under an military protectorate until such time as order can be restored and a Cuban government established. In Porto Rico there were few difficulties, as the island became part of the Uni ted States with the full acquiescence of its inhabitants. The treatment of the Philippine islands involved more serious questions. 1 cannot now go Into details to show how the United States had but one duty before it, and that was to retain possession of these isl ands under the terms of the Paris treaty. The reasons were satisfactorv to the commission, composed of repre sentative Americans, and were es teemed valid by a two-thirds vote in the United States senate on the con firmation of the treaty. The president has taken the ground that hy the time the present con gress «fuxven«» matters will have set ti«n down, nnu Hie way or making a fair adjustment of many difficulties will begin to be indicated. The presi dent will send in his message and con gress have to provide for the local government of our newly acquired ter ritories. The question is not involved in any more difficulties than were suc cessfully disposed of in the settlement of issues bearing upon the regulation of previously acquired territory. In the solution of these complicated and grave questions the experience and knowl < dge of the president and the confi dence which he inspires in the coun try, regardless of party, will be an im portant if not a dominant factor iu congressional legislation. M'KINLEY'S STRONG QUALITIES. "President McKinley has had a long and remarkable experience in public affairs. His familiarity with the tariff and the commercial conditions of the country and the recent questions of In ternational character give him an equipment unsurpassed by any other American. He possesses an executive capacity of a high order and tact and acumen, as the result of long practical political training. The best evidence of these qualities is shown by the fact that, unlike many other presidents, he has his party unanimously at his back, undivided by serious dissension and retaining its supremacy in the country when most administrations have found their party in the minority ] iu the middle of a presidential term, at least in the house of representatives. "iu Pennsylvania McKinley has a deep rooted strength with the mass of the people. That strengtn has been steadily increasing. Everything points t*Ht|l, Kvansville. Itid.. May L' 7.
