WC ' ATITUDES. M xne New York World says: H The defeat of President Rooseve t is not im- H possible, but it is fraught with so many difficulties H that the only chance of the Democrats to accom- H plish it lies in the nomination of his complete H antithesis for President, in the adoption of a H platform sound in every plank, in the emphatic H repudiation of all boodlers and self-seekers, and H the final severing of the fatal alliance with Popu- H lists and Socialists. H What are the President's marked traits that H his complete antithesis should be nominated. His MB courage has never been doubted; his American- WM ism has never been quesitoned; his faithfulness B to every high trust has never been impeached, jH his life as a citizen has not upon it one reproach; H his knowledge of every section of native land is H superior to that of any of his predecessors; his H '!;Jl jH t ability covers everything from a university pro- HB ?i fessorship to the saddling of a mustang; he is a H j,ki horn soldier and al-around man of affairs; he un- WM J Ml derstands the motives of men, from the monoy- B ' lender to the toiler in mine and field and factory H ' perfectly; his knowledge of the deeper principles H i on which cur government rests is not exceeded H j by any man and no man more fully than he appre- H f I I elates the causes which in a century have raised H our nation from nothing to its present command- H ' ing position among the nations of the earth; no H i man more fully realizes .than he that no office H t JL ( can give to an individual lasting fame, but merely H iff ) the opportunity to fulfill the trust pmcod in his H hands, and that his fame will be measured by the H way he executes the trust. How can a man bo B the antithesis of such a man and sti 1 draw around H him the support of a majority of the American H people? H j( , Then what kind of a platform would the WorlJ H Ij prepare to catch and hold the admiration of the H nation? B ' ' i It would have been more sensible of the B i . World to have said, "You who have been out so B' ; j long and who want to get in had better adopt the H ' ' ! Sermon on the Mount for a platform and then Bf j nominate Q rover Cleveland, for the trusts and in- H terest-gatherers will come nearer buying him the H place than any other man you can name."
