A brilliant Ohio Republican, now il
New York city, writes the editor Ol
tue NEWADKMOOHAT under date OF
March 18Th, making some inquiries al
" the author OF our letter on tho iNOra
ker- Mckinley row at tho Chicago Ma
uonal Convention, We quote a para
graph
'len, Rice was speaking about the
paper last night You seem 20 have
created quite a disturbance by this lot
tor which appeared IN the Herald, Mr.
Scott says all the politicians here are
talking abOutit lleaaya the impression
seems 10 DO that Capt, Donaldson wrote
lt OF course | would like 10 know the
author Mr. Scott had the interview
with Mahl0n Chance, ia which MT,
Chance denied everything, | think
MI Chanoe bamea u on Capt,
Donaldson"
Oar brilliant Ohio friend Is
not correctly Informed, Capt, Don
alQaOn ia not the author OF our in
side history Of the Chicago convention,
The above refers 10 Capt, j, q, Donald
son, who IN Senator hliefman'a private
seertary, The Mr., Scott, referred 10 Ia
Walter Scott, who In New York CORES
pOndent for q syndicate Of Western
Journals, lle waa formerly an Ohio
man, uen, Rice doubtless refers 10
len, A,Y, Rice, OF OttOwa, now In New
York, The very 6ignlhcant feature Of
tho charge that Capt, Donaldson inapir'
Cd tho Chicago letter 10 the NEWsrDEM
OOHAT, IL That leading politicians ln
New York think that II ia the real view
VI Senator sherman, touching tho 40,
IlOna Of both Mckinley and Foraker In
Chicago, II II equally significant that
MahlOn Chance, who did some especial,
ly line work for Mckinley for PFesi-
dent, and who has facilities for getting
luhlde information, should charge the
expose 10 Capt Donaldson, This In
sure evidence that Mr., Chance thinks
Senator Sherman In ~ exact line Of
Thought with tho expose, In other
words, Sherman thinks neither MCkin-
10y nor Foraker were sincerely his
friend at Chicago, We have no meana
OF knowing what Senator Sherman'a
real sentiments are, but we have some
powerful pointers In hla refusal 10 aay
anything In feiutAtiOn OF the state
menta In our Chicago letter
II viii be remembered that
The same day the New YORK Herald
reprinted our NO called "rruG History
OF Chicago Convention" Senator Shrf-
mnn was interviewed IN Washington,
nud hc declined 10 say q word for pub
llcltlOn, IN denial
Certainly II Mckinley had been the
true friend 10 Sherman Ia Chicago that
has been claimed, John Sherman would
have been only TOO glad 10 yindicatG
him In u statement that the Chicago
lSpOSe Of McKinloy'a action was false,
liut the correspondents who interview
cd Senator Sherman all say he refused
70 say anything for publication, This
fact coupled with the other fact, that
leHding friends OF John Sherman In
Now York attribute the Chicago OK,
pose 10 his private secretary Capt, j,
{, DOnaldBOnl, 10 "a powerful pointer
that John sherman III satisfied there
was considerable devious deyiltry ~,
Ing on In Chicago by both Foraker aud
Mckinley II not, We hope soon 10
hear from Sherman that hG is entirely
satisfied that Mckinley was his faith,
iul, consistent, allabiding and seli,aac
rllclng friend, during that wonderful
convention,
When sherman does this we shall
proceed TO publish ", with conspiCmty
