MAI. Mckinley Greatly Pleased With the

Representative Mckinley is evidently greatly
pleased with the result Of the local elections in
Ohio.
terday," he said to Q STAR reporter
today, sis somewhat significant and rather
encouraging to the republicans. Don't you
think it looks that way? The result in Cleve-
land seems particularly significant. At the last
election the democrats carried that city by
nearly 1000 majority.
We have just carried it by some s. 900, though
the democrats nominated a strong man and a
good hard hight was made. The republicans
are very active in Ohio and there was pretty
hard fight for the nominations.
What do you think has led to the increased
republican vote" was asked
Il think repUbhcanism is reviying, not only
in Ohio, but in al parts of the country The
people are beginning to find out the false
prophets who talked about the tariff
last year. They see that the in
creased prices and all that was a
part OF the scheme of Misrepresentation. You
remember the recent local elections in New York
state were very encouraging to the republi-
cans. You can never argue with absolute ac-
curacy from merely local elections. but / think
the republicans are In pretty good shape all
over the country"
What is the outlook for 80"
REPUBLICANS hound TO ELECT THE NEXT PREsI-
DENT.
Il think the republicans arc bound to elect
the President in '92, whomever they nominate
l notice that Mr.. Hill is trying to change the
issue and to put different Interpretation on
the November elections from that popular with
the democrats. L do not know that there
Is any significance in that
now"
Il do not think that there is anything par
nculariy dangerous TO the republicans in the
political situation unless it is the farmers al
lance movement"
Discussing politics further he said that he
did not see how the democrats could avoid
making silver leading issue in the next Presi-
Dental contest if they passed free
coinage bill through the House and
1t was defeated either in the
Senate or BY the Presidents veto. He did not
think, however. that the nomination of Mr.
Cleveland would necessarily be interfered with
by that.

SECRETARY FOSTERS CHOICE.

misrepresentation Crounz to Be Appointed
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury.
The President has decided to appoint ex-
Representative Lorenzo Crounz of Nebraska to
be assistant secretary Of the treasury to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation Of
Gen. Batcheller, when the latter was appointed
minister to Portugal. 1t is understood that
Mr. Crounz is the personal choice of Secretary
Foster, with whom he served while in Congress.
The appointment will probably be made before
the President goes south.
Mr.. Crounz is fifty-seven and has been a resi-
dent OF Nebraska from the time when that
state was territory. His career has been
quite varied and successful. Schoharie county
New York, was his place of nativity. In
1861 he raised battery and went into
the army as captain of artillery. In
1860 he became a resident of Nebraska
where he was elected a member of
the state constitutional convention the
next year. In the organization of the
state government Mr.. Crounz was made asso-
ciate justice of the supreme court That DO
sltlon he held until elected to Congress in 1873
He served in the House until 1877. The home
OF the new assistant secretary is at Fort Call
houn, in the northeastern part Of the state.
