Lots of people in this United States aw making themselves real sick over their solicitude for the position held , by lion. William McKinley on the money question and some other questions. The most violent symptoms are §een among Dem- crats who vtant to see a Democrat nomi­ nated and elected. President. In the ^Heauimie-SfeKiiiiey in koepinK "iiis "Ojriti- ions to himself and affiording his enemies little political power. And McKinley is doing, just what any man. with a good deal of common sense would do. He is a candidate for a nomi­ nation that is the highest gitt m the party. He wants friends and he twants votes. Tf he should rush into print with his opinions his words would be twisted and turned, and even if reported straight he would make no more friends and ad­ mirers than he now has, and he might make enemies. McKinley is going to stand squarely on the platform adopted at St. Louis, and that platform must be no straddle, neither must it be a -free silver platform. No one thinks for a moment that it will be either of these, neither is there a nian, woman or child in the union who is not satisfied that McKinley stands for honest money- The free silver states are for him -becauee he stands for protection. The half silver states are for him because he stands for protection, and in spite of the importun­ ities of a.horde of men who. desire him to talk he is not throwing stones at any of these states just at present. Neither does he seem to be doing the other thing ana firing sugar pellets at them to attract their votes. But he is just keeping quiet. He has confidence in the people, and he has confidence in himself, and when the time comes to act and speak he will do both, in unmistakable and acceptable terms. The PLAINDEALER long ago declared for Major McKinley as its choice for nominee, and it has seen no reason to change that choice. The demand for him is insistent and strong, and a man were blind who could not see the trend o) public opinion and desire. FOJ* Member of Congress. ALBERT J. HOPKINS.

TRYON, ttS?"In a speech made in. the Ohio cam­ paign of 1893 Major McKinley said "Whatever dollars we have in this country must he equal in purchasing power, whether they be paper dollars, gold dollars, silver dollars or treasury notes, each convertible into the other Butter on the Elgin Board of Trade on Monday was in good demand and although many tubs were withdrawn they were afterwards sold at better pri ces. Offerings were 83,820 pounds.-- Sales were 12,600 pounds at 15c. : 41, 220 pounds at 15%c ; 30,000 pounds at 16c. Butter last week sold at 15%c, and one year ago at 18c. {©"Cleveland must be an arrant cow ard or he would neyer allow the Ameri can flag to be humiliated and our inter ests threatened at the hands of Spain There should be in Congress some spirit bold enough to move a vote of censure for not according to the poor Cuban patriots belligerent rights. So says an exchange. tST" The New York Herald thus tabu lates the status of the St. Louis conven tion; McKinley, 546; Reed, 120; Mor ton, 69; Allison, 39; Quay, 58 ; Cullom 9; Bradley, 1G ; doubtful, 63: total num ber of delegates, 918; necessary to choice, 459. General Clarkson on the other hand, credits McKinley with 384 delegates, all others with 452, with 82 seats contested. THE TARIFF IS THE ISSUE. Undoubtedly the tariff will be the prin­ cipal issue of the presidential campaign this year. The democrats, who recog­ nize the weakness of their party's posi­ tion on the tariff are trying the money question to the front, but they will not be able to pull the wool over the eyes of the people. The assaults upon the pro­ tective system have been the cause of the business depression during the present administration. The wage earners real­ ize this fact, and they want a president who will fully represent their convictions on the tariff. The money question is im­ portant, but will hardly be an issue SI 50 00 IN COLD GIVEN For Selling "Story of Spain and Cuba " The International News & Book Co., Baltimore, Md., offer §150 to anyone selling in three months 175 . copies of their new book, "Story of Spains and Cuba."

The confidence which the masses put in the Republican party is of itself sufficient to go a long way to­ ward reviving business, and a revision of the tariff will give adequate protec­ tion to American labor and will restore the prosperity of former days. The real issue is protection. The Re­ publican party is and always has been for sound money--and so it will continue to be. It took charge of national affairs when the government was bankrupt through the manipulations of a treason­ able cabinet and could borrow small sums of money for necessary purposes only at extortionate rates of interest It created a new currency system, fought the war of the rebellion to a successful conclusion and raised billions of dollars for * he purpose. It resumed specie pay­ ments, brought the national credit to a higher level than had ever before been known, and paid off the public debt at a rate which astonished the world. -AND- CARPETS!

SST" One of tjhe severest storms of the season, consisting of wind, rain, thun­ der and and lightning, passed over this region about two o'clock on Monday morning. At Elgin the Factory of the Elgin Sewing Machine and Bicycle Com­ pany, which employed over 300 hands, was blown down and almost totally de­ stroyed. At Norwood Park two churches and several dwellings were blown down and persons severely injured, although no lives are reported lost In Indiana, Iowa and Wisconsin the storm is report­ ed more severe, and many lives are re­ ported lost. In Chicago the street car tunnels, under the river, were Hooded and the basements were deluged .with from three to five feet of water. The. thunder and lightning was terrific, and the people were aroused from their sleep in great alarm. It was one of the worst etorms known for years. IST" Aurora is something of a political porker. Not satisfied with having a gub­ ernatorial candidate in Congressman Hopkins to whom his congressional dis­ trict gave a Bolid vote, it presented him for renomination for Congress when he was defeated in his aspirations in state politics. Then Aurora presented Col. Ira C. Copley for reelection as a member of the'state central committee, and that was also accorded by the Republicans. Still unsatisfied, Aurora asked for a na­ tional delegateship, and H. D. Judson will go to the St. Louis convention. That Aurora should be able to grab BO much is somewhat surprising, especially when it is in the same county aa Elgin. It shows that Aurora possesses some politicians. That city should remember the fate of Bloomington, however. Time was when the home of "Private Joe gobbled every thing in sight and looked ior more. Now there is against it a cold­ blooded combination which would not permit it to have even an assistant sec- retaryshipin a congressional convention. 0--Bockford Republic, i • FOR SOUND MONEY, ALWAYS. Now, here is Major Handy, an avowed expert on McKinleyisia. Perhaps he knows whether Major McKinley is for a gold standard or for a double stand­ ard, or for free silver coinage. Perhaps Handy knows where McKinley stands. Perhaps Major Handy will tell us.---A7. 7, Sun. Certainly. To my certain knowledge Major McKinley's voice; and influence "are in favor of the best money that the ingenuity of man has devised." (Speech in reply to ex-Governor Camp­ bell, Ohio campaign, 189:3.) He believes that " whatever dollars we have in this country must be equal in purchasing power, whether they be paper dollars, gold dollars, silver dollars, or treasury notes,^each convertible into the other." (Speech in fifty-first cODgress.) He be­ lieves that " the people are not prepared to indulge in the speculation of free and unlimited coinage." (Reply to ex-Gov- ernor Campbell.) In short, he stands with his party, now as ever, or now nfore than ever, as shown by twenty-five state Republican platforms, for honest money, good the world over, "good not by law- alone, but good because the whole com­ mercial world recognizes its inherent and unquestioned value.--Moses P.
