Chandler's Mistake.
Senator Chandler will have occasion to regret his characterization of McKinley as "a mortgaged candidate" whom "the republican party cannot afford to nominate." In the first place it was unjust, and in the next place Mr. McKinley is sure to be nominated and Senator Chandler's support of him will be more or less embarrassing. The World has given all the particulars of Gov. McKinley's financial failure in 1893. There was nothing dishonorable about it, nor discreditable in the help which was almost forced upon him to save his little property and that of his wife from being swept away. The friends who came to his relief were personal more than political, and his attitude in the matter was manly throughout. It is to be hoped that we are not going to have a campaign of mud-throwing. The last presidential campaign was quite free from it, and it was a great relief to decent people. Mr. McKinley's personal character is above reproach. N. Y. World (Dem.).
