A Scheme TO Get Credit for tho Increas-
ing Prosperity.
Ex-Cov. Kellogg knows IL ANYBODY
does what Mr.. Reeds programme is for
the approaching session of congress.
In his interview published in the World
he not only told what that programme
is, but revealed the politics behind II
with an indiscretion which viii perhaps
check the fiuency of Mr.. Reeds confiden'
tinl communication to him hereafter,
Briefly, Mr.. Kellogg sees that we have
entered upon an era of extraordinary
prosperity. He foresees that prices viii
advance, business will prosper and all
laboring men fnd abundant employ
ment Mt good wages.
He IL not afraid that democratic leg.
islation and administration may get
some credit for this happy condition OF
things. He expects Speaker Reed to
prevent that and turn the prosperity 70
republican account and he tells how 1T
is to be done. Congress is 70 pass meas
ures actively, lest passivity leave room
for doubt as to who is the author Of the
prosperity.
This is not n very high-minded pro
Pramme Its inspiration IS finesse
rather than craftsmanship, But il has
all the characteristics of Mr.. Reeds
methods, 1t is shrewd, not too seru-
pulous, and there Is O suggestion of
winks and sardonic smiles behind 1t.
Unfortunately. for, Mr.. Reed, the good
times which he wishes to attribute to
THE legislation OF this next winter are
already here, and the people know it.
The prices Of many agricultural prod
nets have advanced. Imports are enor-

mands Of a prosperous people Manu-

the protective policy under which the
country prospered. The duty Of con
gress is plain. II is waste Of time to
talk Of increasing the revenues by any
makeshift i'll the form of taxation. Nor
is ii at all to the purpose TO say that be-
cause any tariff legislation in the line
of republican teaching and doctrine is
likely to be met with presidential
veto, republican congress should on
that account deviate from the strict
line of principle in order to meet the
views of the president"
The irreconcilable antagonism be-
tween the speaker and the organ on this
point can be accounted FOR broadly by
the simple statement of the fact that
Mr.. Reed Is looking for a presidential
nomina ton, ard the organ is not. But
even e Mr.. Reeds attitude is mainly die
tated by selfishness--as we are afraid
must be conceded--it is wise selfish
ness. MIR. Reed Is shrewd enough to
know that the presidential nomination

unlike his fellow-statesman, rho late

taken the nomination withoutany hope
OF an election; but the speaker is of

properties, to avert the possibility of force
bill by uniting with the Democrats of the East
and West in framing platform on which we
Democrats can stand and the united support of
which will lead to glorious Democratic VIC
tory.
And this in tie year 1896, prolific in free
schools, intelligence and civilization! Ex-
Governor Flower seems to have a very
poor opinion of the intelligence OF the
people of the South when he thinks that
they can be scared by bugaboo of that
kind. A force bill TO force election officers
to fulfill their oaths and count the ballots
correctly is no buGbear to honest citizens,
but it shows at what slender straws the
desperate Democracy is clutching in order
to save itself out of the present Whirlpool.
The Illinois delegation will meet and
organize in this city next Tuesday. Gov
ernor Altgeld will be with them. and they
will decide upon plan of action.

gressive person, and his devotion to the
silver cause inspires the hatred OF the
gold men as pronouncedly as it does the
love of those Democrats who believe in BIZ
metailism. The Governor has been resting
quietly at Springfield since the Peoria
convention, which he controlled abso-
lutely. He dictated the nominations and
wrote the platform. Every delegate in
the convention hall bowed to his absolute
will. He is a man of strong character,
great determination, and thoroughly IN
formed upon all political movements in so
far as his party is concerned. The Gov
ernor's popularity in Illinois is phenom-
email. 1t will be remembered that when
he pardoned the anarchists the people
generally were amazed at his conduct and
censured him severely. A wave of derision
swept over the whole State. Altgeld for
the time being was politically dead. But
he rose again, and is to-day the silver god
of the Democratic party.
His friends declare that he will come
pretty near debating the Presidential
nominee OF the convention. 1t is said OF
him in Chicago to-day that he is planning
a coup to secure the nomination of ex-
head of the ticket, but the Governor denies
this story. Anyway Morrison Is gold
man. Altgeld has sent out an emphatic
protest from Springfield declaring that
any statement to the effect that he is
working for any particular candidate has
no foundation. He denies having had a
secret conference with Colonel Morrison
at Pontiac, as stated in some of the Chi
cago papers. He is also credited by a
Chicago paper with being in collusion
with certain other party leaders to secure
the nomination of Judge Samuel ?. Nc
Connelt of Chicago for the Presidency.
This story the Governor also denies. There
is no question, however, that in addition 20
his determination to have the silver plank
adopted in the platform he is working in the
interests of candidates who will be accept
able to that faction of the party, but
whether it is Bland, Boies, Matthews or
Stevenson no one seems to be able to fore
tell. The Governor is a secretive man, a
shrewd politician and keeps his own coun-
sci, but it is thought in certain quarters
that he will come out for Stevenson in
order to aid In pulling himself through in
this State. The Governor will be here
early next week and will open up head
quarters. He has directed Chairman Hin
richsen to call the members of the Illinois
delegation to conference at the Sherman
House on June 30 to outline the plan of
campaign.

Idaho, and first lieutenant of the Teller

MEN OF MANY STATIONS GREET
THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

dress by the Champion Of

CANTON, OHIO, June 27.-The nomina-
tion of Mckinley was ratified with pomp
and ceremony this afternoon. The out
pouring of people from Cleveland and
other cities of Eastern Ohio was very large.
All DAY long crowds hung about the Nc
Kinley residence and lively stream of
callers poured IN at the gate.
The speaking this afternoon was from
stand erected at one end of large vacant
lot. The meeting was presided over by
Judge W. R. Day of Canton, who made
pleasant speech and introduced President
Walcott of the Tippecanoe Club of Cleve-
land who made an address. Mr.. Wolcott,
who is a brother of Senator Wolcott of
Colorado, said:
To-day as we have assembled to ratify the
nomination of our Republican standard bearer,
/ am reminded of q story about one of my
nephews. He was trying to tell the story of
the good Samaritan. He started in all right
about the man going down the Jericho road
and how he fell among thieves, who stripped
him of his raiment and wounded him and
departed, leaving him half dead, and how q
Levite who came along looked at the poor fell
low and then passed by on the other side. Then
when it came to the Samaritan my nephew got
little confused. He did not know anything
about America, and so in telling the story my
nephew said "a good American came along
who took pity on the poor fellow, and bound
up his wounds and took care of him"
l can see very evident application of this
story as my nephew told it. Four years ago
this country did, perhaps we might literally
say fall among political thieves, who robbed
her of her prosperity, wounded her and left
her for dead. Then the Fifty-fourth Congress
came along and il looked at the sad condition
other side and wouldn't even pass any tariff
take courage, for there is coming along q good
American, or a good Samaritan, whichever
you want to call him-most people call him
"Bill Mckinley" He is the man we've been
looking for. He will heal up our National
wounds and send our country on its way re-
joicing.
pleasant duty falls upon me of expressing the
joy which the members of the club feel over
the work of the st. Louis convention, and no
better place for dong so could be found than
right here in Canton. Here Major Mckinley
has received the loving congratulations of
wife and parents blessed and hallowed as we
know they must be by kisses and tears of joy
and affection; here friends and neighbors have
grasped his hand as they have poured forth
their hearty and sincere gratulations; here
congratulatory messages have been received
from all parts of the Union-from the East and
West and from both sides OF Mason and Dixon's
line and from all kinds and conditions of men,
from political friends and political foes, from
those great in power, and, better still, from
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-28

and adopted the unit rule, so that the
entire delegation would be compelled to
veto as the majority willed. But the sill
yer men have started con tests in two
districts now represented by gold mel.
By unseating two gold delegates the silver
men will have a majority of the whole
delegation and Michigans twenty eight
votes would then change the silver col
umn. The silver men may thus obtain
by force two.thlrds of the National Con-
vention.
The numerous contests in this and
other States will provoke much bitterness
of feeling and will help to hopelessly
widen that little Democratic rift within the
lutte. If the National Committee should
adopt high-handed measures and give the
contested seats to the gold delegates there
will arise roar beside which that of the
bull of Bashan will be as gentle as the
cooling of dove. Exciting scenes are
looked for when the convention meets
and when the Democratic yell startles
Lake Michigan into spasm of squalls.
The cloud with silver lining is funnel
shaped, and there will be political tor
nado. Every one here is expecting it.
y
on the ground, letters have been received
by prominent Democrats here which fore
shadow the storm. The feeling is one Of
vindictiveness-ofd desperation. Governor
Altgeld, which name, strange to say,
means thigh money! will be the promi-
nent figure of the convention. His hands
already grasp the reins of control. He is
m illionaire two or three times over, is
abused twice day by the press, but is
idolized by the people. He is rhinoceros-
hided as to criticism, and instead of fol-
lowing Mr.. Vanderbilt's example and
damning the people, he damns the news
papers, His hold on the Democratic ma
chine is strong, and he will not take any
dictation from Hill, Whitney or any of
the rest. He says that the tail has been
wagging the dog for more than thirty
years, and that he proposes to give the
dog a chance. His complaint is that the
people of the East have heretofore domi-
mated Democratic National conventions in
the interest of the East and Of its indus
tries, and that it is time the West
and the South should have voice in Ma
tional affairs.
To show the desperate straits to which
the Democracy is driven 1 will refer to
resolution offered by Ex-Governor Flower
of New York in the Saratoga convention:
WHEREAS, Party division at Chicago on the
silver question will endanger Democratic sue
cess at the polls; and, whereas, Republican
aseendency in the Nation would undoubtedly
be followed by another attempt to establish
minority rule in the Democratic Southern
States by means of force bill; therefore, be it

fight they were undertaking was almost
lost already.
In the manufacturing centers of the
East and West and in the farming dis
tricts the people are clamoring for protec-
ton. It means bread and butter to them,
and when a man makes up his mind to
vote for bread and butter it is very diff
fcult matter to change him. That is the
Key note of the Mckinley boom. That Is
why his plaster bust is given a place of
honor in every business house, restaurant,
shop and saloon in Canton and Niles, and
why his portrait can be seen in every pub
lie place in the country. 1t is business
that the people want and they mean busi-
ness, so that there is an element of bur-
Iesque in the reiteration of the Democratic
State conventions of the old tariff doctrines,
the very thing against which the people
are most resentful. The Democracy can
get no consolation out of the silver sword.
1t cuts the hand that wields 1t. The tariff
will be the issue in the coming campaign,
and protection will be the battle-cry. An
ger glows in the ranks of the silver Dem
ocrats and they will come to Chicago
frothing at the mouth. The two-thirds

them off will be thrown to the winds, for
silver has the majority, and body such
as National convention is the sole judge
of the qualifications of its own members
and it is the sole maker of its own rules.
This requires the silver men to furnish $40
delegates. The following list shows that
they have but 5S4, or thirty-siI short of
two-thirds.
