There has been general commenda tion of President McKinley's letter of acceptance of the Republican nomina tion. Much of Mr. McKinley's letter is naturally devoted to a review of the course which has been pursued by his administration in the matter of the Philippines. He recites the circum stances under which we became charged at Manila with responsibilities from which there was no escaping and re calls the various steps which have been taken to establish order in the Philip pines, to ascertain the truth of the conditions existing there, to frame the kind of government which should best be adapted to the situation, to reassure the people of the benevolence of our in tentions with regard to them, and to promote in every way the welfare of the community with a due observance of our duty, not only toward the small fraction of the Philippine population which is in arms or which is In sym pathy with the insurgents, but toward the whole Philippine people, and not only toward them, but toward foreign countries having interests involved, and also toward ourselves. The demon stration made by the facts which Mr. McKinley recites is that the United States government has dealt judicious ly and consciously with a difficult sit uation which was not of its seeking, but with which through the force of circumstances it was unescapably con fronted and that in every step that he has taken the president kept carefully within the limits of his constitutional authority and most scrupulously avoid ed the slightest infraction of the rights and prerogatives of the legislative body. No one can read Mr. McKinley's re view of recent history in the Philip pines without being impressed with the spirit of candor and sincerity by which every line of it is animated. GOVERNMENT MUST PROTECT Speaker Henderson Wants This Re public Respected Everywhere. Speaker of the House D. B. Hender son, in addressing his comrades at the recent Grand Army encampment, said: "Just before taking the train night before last to come to Chicago to have an all round good time with my com rades of the Grand Army I received a telegram from the president of this club asking me to take the place of President McKinley. lam not here for that purpose. No man in this republic ran take the place of President McKin ley. And, gentlemen, when the ballots are counted in November the patriotic and sensible people of this country will demonstrate to the world that no man will be permitted to take his place. "The name of Hamilton suggests three thoughts that may be appropri ate to 1900; first, a strong government: second, a just government; third, a protective government. "In this great world of ours, full of powerful, massive, aggressive govern ments, this nation as a government must be strong to take care of our peo ple and their Interests. No government can be strong that is not just. We cannot hold the love and support of our people unless we are Just in the. enact ment, In the interpretation and In the execution of law. "This government must protect cap ital and labor and give each a fair chance. It must protect the rich and the poor, the black and the white and the brown, also Mr. Bryan. Unless we have a government big enough to ex tend Its protective power everywhere that old flag floats it will come short of Its duty. Aye, gentlemen, It must be a government that will protect its citi y.eus In the heart of Chicago or In the heart of China. "These doctrines of Hamilton, which I assume are supported by this club, must be the text'word of the hour I want elected a man who not only preached those doctrines, but, like Mc- Kinley, acted them from his heart because I believe In those doctrines, and I urge the American people to support the men who believe in them. Therefore, I cry out tonight in the midst of this republic, 'Elect at thw ne*t .-lection William McKinley and Theodore Rooi-evelt.' " The address of speaker Henderson was IIIOKI happily received, ami he was heartily i heeled as he resumed liis seat- KKKDEH 1H CONFIDENT "Republicanism seemed to lie in the air," remarked (leu Reeder, "and wherever we went we gut fresh evi dence of the fact lhal the popular vote this year la going to be largely In favor •if McKinley and Roosevelt There In great enthusiasm for the ticket, aud the only danger Ilea In overcoulbli-tu e (leu. Reeder was asked what action had been taken by the committee re ceutly appointed by the Itepublicau state committee on the subject of al leged party disloyalty. He replied that the situation waa being carefully can vassed aud that at the proper time the committee would be heard from The woik of the so-called Republicans who are In fusion deals with Democrats to defeat Republican nominee* for the legislature la being carefully noted, and appropriate action will be taken Indue time "The Republican state committee In Pennsylvania will welcome the co-op eration of all Republicans," said Gen. eral Reeder, "In the effort to increase the Republican delegation, and we shall encourage the activity of the young Republican club men of the State League who propose to make this part of the canvass a feature of their cam paign work in the state. All Republi can club men who conveniently can do so should attend the club League con vention in Philadelphia on the 17th and 18th insts. and thuß help inaugurate what will be one of the most effective movements in the direction of electing a strong Republican delegation to con gress from the Keystone State." WOULD HURT M'KINLEY ADMIN ISTRATION. Thus it will be seen that while Guf fey Is asking Republicans to desert their party nominees for his fusion legislative candidates, he is hard at work striving to defeat regular Repub lican candidates for congress and is ualng all the power of his newspaper supporters to elect a Bryanite con gress. Chairman Babcock needs to devote considerable attention to the fusion schemes at present being carried on in all parts of this state. Mayor Ash bridge is right in insisting that the committees represented by Mr. Hanna and Mr. Babcock should goto work at once, and if possible put an end to these fusion movements. To fuse with the Democratic party In the present important crisis is to give incalculable aid and comfort to the enemies of the Republican party. It places the administration of Presi dent McKinley in jeopardy. No Re publican who values his party prin ciples or his country's welfare will lend himself to fusion In any way. eLUBMEN WILL HELP. The State League of Republican Clubs proposes to make the congres sional situation in Pennsylvania a feature of Its convention of the 17th and 18th insts. in this city. President J. Hampton Moore has received a let ter from Congressman Henry C. Lou denslager, who is in charge of the eastern headquarters of the Republican congressional committee at Washing ton, concerning the congressional situa tion in Pennsylvania. Among other things Congressman Loudenslager said: "I have written Babcock urging him to be with you on the 17th. I notice in the Philadelphia papers the publi cation of his letter to you containing suggestion about the Third district. I sincerely hope that the matter of con gressional elections In Pennsylvania will be given much more of a place in this campaign than it has received up to this time. There is no reason why with united efforts on the part of the Republican managers in the state of Pennsylvania we should not reclaim at least six districts now represented by Democrats, and it ought to be the desire of every earnest man residing within the limits of that state to do whatever is within his power to se cure this additional support in the house of representatives to a contin uance of Republican administration of affairs. I shall endeavor to be present with you on the 17th if possible." ASHBRIDGE TAKES A HAND. Congressman McAleer, who desires to succeed himself in the Third dis trict, called on Mayor Ashbridge last week and was in close conversation with him for quite a while. After he had gone the mayor was seen and ask ed as to the cause of the Democratic congressman's visit. Mayor Ashbridge in response said: "Mr. McAleer called on me for the purpose of soliciting the support of my administration in his canvass for re-election. I told htm that while I had no personal interest in the candidate for congress in any of the districts, that I had been asked several times by Chairman Mark Han na to do all 1 could to elect a Repub lican in the Third congressional dis trict. That in addition to that both Chairman liabcock and sub-Chairman Loudenslager had seen ine several times in relation to the matter and had urged upon me the necessity of sending a Republican from that district. Continuing the mayor said: "In my talks with Mr. Babcock he told me that the Republican party expected to gain at least six congressmen from Pennsylvania, and I have told him that unless he and Mr. Hanna put a stop to the work of some of their al leged friends In this state we were more likely to lose three or four con gressmen instead of gaining six." BRYAN \ND THE FARMERS. Meimfor Seolt'a Couiniruta on the sil ver Mail's Speeches In Hurt* leutl and Weal \lrttl»l». Members of the Republican national committee have expressed surprise at Mr. Bryan's speeches in West Virginia. It was expected by the committeemen generally that the burden of his dis courses In the east would be the "im perialist issue," but he has taken an other tack in Maryland and West Vir ginia In conversation on the subject Senator N. B. Scott said: "Mr. Bryan has shifted his ground again and put another slide Into his magic lantern. We thought this waa to be his week for imperialism, but In stead of that he has switcheu oil o>i to the farmer issue and has iuformed the farmers of West Virginia how they have suffered under the McKluley ad ministration He tells them that the times are hard, aud that tlie> liavn't got any money, or If they hate it is not due to the Republican policy, lie als.i pi onuses to give them mure money, I but neglects to say that this new money ! will not be worth half as much ax their preseut money To lie sure In- says it has happened thai (he farmers have | never had better crops of a better de | maud for them at home or abioad aud ; that tuouey la pouring iuto this coun 1 try from Burope. but this only happen ed the Republicans had nothlug to do with it And so forth It really Is an interesting question whether Mr llry «u or any other sane mau cau actually believe that the intelligent farmers of America tahe any stock in such iraus parent uoneeitse as this alien the simple fad la that the faimers are In much better condition than ihey weiu four yeais ago and. indeed were never so well oil aa now This Is the uuiver I sal testimony o ft he farmers ihani | selves lit all seittou* Meir are a few ■guree They are all NEW!
