At the National Capital.
Regular corrcapendonoe.
Washington, June 2."), 1900.?
Notwithstanding the juggling by
the Republican leaders with the
vice-Presidential nomination, the
Hanua-made ticket which wos
nominated at Philadelphia and
the Washingto^.inade platform
adoptud have evoked not the slight- J
est enthusiasm in Washington, :
although the numerical strength
ot llio bread-and-butter brigade at
the national capitol anil Roosvelt's
considerable personal following led
many to suppose that there would
be ^t least a bluff made at some
Bort of an enthusiastic deuionstra
tiojj. About the only hurrahs j
heard in Washington hnve coiue
from delegates to Jtio convention
who stopped on their way homo, >
md those hurrahs were not the remit
of enthusiasm, but of whiskey
)r other intoxicants. But that,
jf course, does not worry Boss
Banna; it is boodle, not enthusiasm.
that he relies upon to duoli
:qU Uis '90 business.
Nothing more contradictory was (
ever put into a party platform than
the declarations of tho Republican |
platform thot "We indorse tho ad
ministration of William McKin- |
ley," and "Wo favor the construe- ,
tion, ownership, control, and pro- ! j
taction of an isthmian canal by the ; |
jovernment of the United States." i ]
Mr. McKiuley's administration is
responsible for the Hay-Paunoofote
ireaty, which, if ratified, would
make the carrying out of that
plan|t of the platform an impossi* ,
bility. The platform did not dare (
Indorse by name the Hann*.Payne ,
ihip subsidy job, but merely asks
for "legislation which will enable
ub to recover our former place
among the trad ft carrying fleets of
the world." It is certnin thnt the 1
subsidy job of Hannn won't do it.
Ono of the reaponsjfor Jtopubli- i
can alftrm about the great middle
west was concisely given by Mr.
J. V. Bcall, of Akron, Ohio, now
in Washington, when he said:
"The industrial situation in some
of the manufacturing Statet of the ,
middle western Htntes iH decidedly
glooipy. The big trusts w|)ieh one
hears 6o much about in the East
and the evil efl'scts of which are

been destructive to a lurge numl>or |
of fuotorjes in our section of the
country. Tberp is hardly a manufacturing
city of any siae in Ohio,'
Indiana, or Illinoin where one or
nioie factories have not been closed
down on accouut of the combination
in some particular line of
gf)cx|s, The result has been that a
good many people have been
thrown out of en^loyment in recent
months. Initio has been
heard of these patters, because

Hopne of Botp Hanna's million- {

who may be able to take advantage

they will be apt to do it. Millionaires

I
Roonevclt not ?u Mr?n|.
Washington Post.
For the first liny? in the annals j
of American politics we see, in the
person of the Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt, a vieerPres dentin! candidate
forced to accept tho nomination
in order to reduce the
chunces of his party's defeat in his
own State's election. To this
unique nchievnient Mr. Piatt
directed his energies with thnt
consummate t/ict which has marked
his political career on many great
occasions.
Believing in the rule of the;
majority, Tho Post commends the
act of the convention in yielding
to the popular demand for Roosevelt,
just as it commended tho
Democratic convention of lS'.MJ for
obeying the will of the people in
declaring for 10 to 1 and other ob-;
jectionale propositions.
If the result of the November
election should be found to hinge
on the vote of tho Kmpire State,
wp have nodoubl thnt Gov. Roosc.
velt'a retirement from the Stntu
ticket will be helpful to his party.
It is expected with louie show of
reasonableness that he will inspire
the Republican masse, especially
in the West, with something of
thnt exuberant enthusiasm which ,
nnrmiillv nhnriu>t?ri7.i)<i liintinliiipfll
speeches. He is a thoroughly carnest
man, and generally succeeds
in arousing the spirit and determination
of his hearers, But he is
too bitterly aggressive to win converts,
and it is not impoisiblo that
his habit of indiscriminate donunciuntion
may more limn offset his
reviving and enthusing influences,
If the McKinley and ltoosevelt
ticket is to win, the victory will be
won by McKinley. If success for
that ticket depended on the record
j( Mr. Kroosevelt and the evidence
therein found of his capacity to
till I no I'resnlontai ottiee, it would
bo unfortunate for the party.
As a member of the Civil Service
Commission Mr. lioosevelt
was a distinct disappointment, lie
was straining at gnats in the postoffice
of cities in the West, while
camels were going down the thronta
of the commission in the depart,
ments here in Washington. As
assistant secretary of the navy
he found it impossible to confine
his efforts to their proper sphere.
The wur with Spain threw him
into a state of mind bordering on
hysteria, and he rushed to and fro
between his otlice and the White
House giving fidvice that the
President felt constrained to
reject,
For example, Mr. Roosevelt was
one of the moat persistent udvo- |
cates of tlie recognition of the alleged
Cuban republic. but for
President Mckinley's stern, unbending
oppoeition to that course
we should have gone into Cuba to
play second fieldle to Cuban genand
the rubble which thuy led. At
a latter period Mr. Itoosevelt urged,
in season and out of season, tlint
we should send our fleet neross the
Atlantic to look for Cervera's ships.
His notions of war policy were as
tickle as the weather, anc| his departure
froiyi Washington relieved
thp administration from what had
grpwn to bo an nfflctive dispensatioir.
His rpcord in Cuba includes
thp yellow fover roundrobbjn. No
one will impeach his courage or
patriotism, but those excellent
traits do not entirely qualify a man
for high ollice mul great rosixmsibilties.
Mr, Roosevelt's fantastic campaign
for govprngr in the fall of
189$, when hp turned over the
State with a squad of thp discharged
Rough* Riders, he and
they arrayed 111 the uniform they j
worp in Cuba, muy have beep one
of tho reasons why ho dropped a
tarter of q miUiop of the Mclvp

the entry of Mr, A. U. Jones

Senator 'Jo lman created surprise,
aays The State, the announcement
that he has changed his mind and
withdraw^ from the race will
doubtless creute even piore surprise.
This he has dope, however,
and Senator Tillman succeeds himself
in t^e upper house of Congress
without opposition,
Friduy Slate Chairman AYilie
Jopes received a letter from Mr.
Jones asking that his pledge he
withdrawn and stating tho reasons
for Jthis action. Mr. Jones set
forth that his business would not
permit him to make the canvass
ns thoroughly as he desired and
that he did not see the necessity
for finishing tho race. Colonel
Jones, not having the permission
of the writer did not make the
letter public.
Colonal Jones immediately upon
receipt of the letter wired Mr.
Jones saying that the pi dgo would
he withdrawn, and telling Mr.
Jones to draw on him as chairman

for the amount of the assessment,

This leaves Senator Tillman
without possible opposition and
means that he succeeds himself in
the Senate. Ho is now free to
throw olT his coat, grab his pitchfork,
and do work whero most
needed in behalf of the national
Democracy.
This is the first change in the
political outlook in this State since
the Stale campaign opened.
There has never since the time
for closing the entries came been
the slightest doubt that Senator
Tillman would succeed himself,
overwhelmingly defeating Mr.
Jones, but the letter's action yesterday
makes plainer sailing for
the Senator and rtnuoves the necessity
for any kind of a contest
at the polls.
