MAI. M'KINLEY GAVE IT AWAY.
How Republican Scheme for a Little
Sensation was Spoiled.

hOW u hepuOllCan SCnemo Tor q b1Ctl0
Sensation was Spoiled.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-An amusing
story is told concerning the recent campaign
In Ohio. 1t appears that Congressman Nc
Kinley, and Col. James +. Neal, chairman
Of the democratic state committee, were
one day traveli e together on the way to
Wilmington, whore the congressman was to
address a meeting in the evening.
A short distance from Wilmington several
members of the local republican committee
boarded the train and sought out Mr..
Mckinley. After the usual greetings had
taken place the spokesman Of the committee
said: "Mr. Mckinley, we have little sem
sation arranged for to-day. When Mr..
Campbell spoke here a few days ago a
prominent republican arose in the midst Of
his speech and declared his intention Of
voting for the democratic candidate and
the whole ticket. 1t had rather bad effect
on Us, and we made up our mind to offset
it. We could not find democrat who
would declare for Foraker, so we got re-
publican who has just moved into town,
and whose politics is not generally known,
and when you have finished your speech he
will announce that he has been a lifelong
democrat, but that he will vote for Foraker
aud the whole republican ticket. That will
be sumner for the democrats, won't it2"
1t was very ludicrous position to place
Mr.. Mckinley in, but he was equal to the
occasion and asked the republican commit
teeman If he could not secure two such
6oppers. The latter said he would trv. and
then the congressman Mortified the Wilm-
ington man by introducing him to ''my
friend, Col. Neal, chairman Of the demo
cratic state committee
Col. Neal said the scheme was an ad
mirable ono, but suggested that the chair
man would not be able to defeat Mr.. Camp
bell If he were to obtain ten such foppers.
The chairman of the local committee was
very much relieved when the train reached
Wilmington, and he was able to make his
escape and tell his colleagues how Con-
gresham Mckinley had ruined their sensa-
chairman of the democratic committee.
