II proof were needed that the Har-

tie frequency with which republicans.
Of prominence WHO come - Washing
ton give it a kick. Its latest kicking
was administered by ex-senator Sabin.
of Mimi. who was aUce chairman Of
the republican National committee.
MI. Sabin says he thinks Harrison
ceased to be a Presidential possibility
the moment it was certain that QUAY /
and piatt would control the Pennsyl
wanna or New York delegations 10 tile
republican national convention. He
ai-o thinks that Reed j. going to have |
a .aikoyer for the nomination. OF saws
he does.
According to those who are usually
posted on Inside republican happen
ine.. Mr.. Foraker of Ohi., has with
Cos. Mckinley'- consent ns4tic direct !
il!t! ~ win Boss Ii1tt over fo tie sup
l.oit Of Mckinlets Presidential a,pi-
r%atian-. II is well known that PIatt
wa, ~ 1888 promised nu behalf of Mr.
Harrison that he should he Secretary
of the Treasury. Il place that Platt lad
been %hankering after for maIy Years.
il ie would support Harrison. and lie
wa, elected. Mr.. Harrison repudiated
that promise, claiming that it was
Inaat without his knowledge or con-
>ei.t. and therefore mace a lifetime
enemy of Plat. Mr.. Foraker Ina, now
the same promise for Governor
Mckinley and has told Mr. Plat that
Mckinley wouId make it in person if
Mr.. Platt would agree tn swing the
New Yrok delegation to Mckinley
after a complimentary vot@ is cast
for Gov. Morton. who is generally ie- !
gal.led as merely Il brevet candidate |
for the nomination. Foraker will also
tetore he returns Ia Ohio endeavnr
to make a deal whereby he can secure
the support Of Boss Quay for Mckinley.
Reed has been supposed TO have Il
mortgage upon both Plat and Quay,
bf. they are very tricky individuals,
and will both be found on the side of
the candidate who offers them the
most.
Ex-Represcntative Outwaite, Of Ohio
brings cheerful news from that State.
He SAYS" 81 have been greatly sur
pflstd ut the way in which the demo
cratic party in Ohio has rallied and
set Into fighting condition. There is
note of the feeling that prevailed last
fall, in Ohio o among democrats.
They are Il unit. and the gubernatn-
liza campaign will be one OF the bot
tesfF#3e ate has known. The silver
gut 4flg iIas been put aside for the
PA -, ! by OHIO democrats. | do not
to say the silver men are giving
up their freight for the white metal,
but they decided to lay aside every
consideration that may lntefcre with
a democratic victory in the state.
Next year they will ON forward
again. The patty to-day IS absolutely .
