I or three days past 200 Nez Perce In

where, twenty-two years ago, seven

of a split in the tribe there is great ex

said, to right their wrongs. The older

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<o a hard struggle and an ultimate Re
publican victory iu the next presi
dential campaign. There can be but
one Republican candidate considered,
and that is McKinley. ills candidacy
will be the logical consequence of the
wonderful prosperity already acquired
and the glorious possibilities within
our reach. The country will need his
tried statesmanship in meeting the
great issues of the future. With Mc-
Kinley re-elected and a Republican
majority in congress our people can be
assured of the realization of the splen
did career opening before us.
"1 have been in contact with repre
sentative Republicans from every sec
tion of our state, and have found but
one sentiment, and that is in favor of
the renomiuation of tlie president. 1
hope to be a delegate to the coming
Republican state convention, and 1
shall earnestly support a plank iu the
platform which will not only give ex
pression to the unanimous views ot
the Republicans of Pennsylvania, in
dorsing the course of the administra
tion. but which declares emphatically
iu favor of President McKinley's re
uomiustieu. As a matter of fact, I
have no doubt that the delegates to the
next Republican national convention
from this state will be earnestly anil
unanimously iu favor of his renoinlnft
tion."
