1t is plainly apparent that the friends
Of Gov Mckinley are handling him
with special reference to placing him
in the presidential race for 1898. That
ne was laying up treasures for the
political future was evident Mt the
Minneapolis convention. He made HIM
self a conspicuous figure on that occa-
sion and smilinRly went through the
duties Of presiding officer while his own
name was among those for whom the
delegates were voting. His appearance
did not strike the vast audience as in
dicative of any great chagrin, and
while he smilingly went through ii
there were those cruel enough TO sug-
gest that the programme had been
previously arranged and that he had
schooled himself for the task.
The severe setback encountered by
the g. O d. did not change the majors
purpose. but somewhat altered his
plans For months he had nothing to
say and :nen made sure thing on q
sympathetic reception of his utterances
by giving them TO the two or three
men who own the sentiments and
control the actions of the Ohio
wool growers association There
he declared for the same tariff
principles which he has always
advocated and which the country
so emphatically repudiated at the last
national election. He did the Same
thing at the political banquet recently
held at h3 home in Canton and elo-
quently appealed to the slaughtered
party to stand by its guns. He is pre-
dieting a series of sad calamities for the
present administration and jubilantly
proclaims that the people will again
place the republican party in power
the wish being father to the thought
because of his own overshadowing per
sonal interest. Even his recent fnan
cial disasters have been utilized by hi
friends as campaign material. and the,
have been sounding his praises while
arranging to meet the Obligation
which common business sagacity wouls
never have incurred.
OWith two such conspicuous figures a
Harrison and Mckinley in the field
the lesser lights may have hard sled

nority party may conclude TO look else

Charles Foster. who was secretary of
the treasury under Benjamin Harri-
son, has failed in business. OF course
he was an expert financier or he would
not have had the important portfolio in
the Harrison cabinet which he OBJ
tanned. A resident of Fostoria, he was
early a dry-goods merchant, subse-
quently banker, generally boomer.
Tothe full he was as heartily in favor of
a protective tariff as the be-all and the
end-all of American prosperity as Will
liam Mckinley himself. whom he pre-
ceded in the governorship of Ohio.
When Mckinley fell by the wayside
as the result of ill-considered in
dorsements of friends republican poll
ticians and well wishers came to his
aid and supplied him with funds
wherewith to meet his obligations.
