M'KINLEY MEN IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
They Resent Mr.. Chambers Denunciations
of "Boodling"

OF "BOOdiinEs
Concord, n. H., March 30.-Consider-
able interest is being manifested as to
the character of the reception which
will be given Senator Chandler by the
Republican State convention here to-
morrow, over which he will preside.
Since Mr.. Chandler came out with his
attack on the Mckinley "boodlers," his
action has been criticised sharply, and
condemned in certain quarters partic-
ularly by The Manchester Mirror, the
organ of the great corporations in Man
chester. the managers of which really
favor McKinley's nomination.
There is no great amount Of genuine
Reed sentiment in this State, and no ex-
pectatiOn of his nomination. He will
have a delegation from New Hamp-
shire, or rather the New Hampshire
delegation will support him as matter
Of form, but with no special hope or
desire for his success, and so far as the
manufacturers are concerned their
thought has turned naturally toward
Mckinley. They therefore are displeas-
ed by Chambers attack on McKinley's
campaign managers, which they are not
disposed to credit to any innate aver
sion to corrupt methods, and are ex-
pressing themselves accordingly.
Fear is expressed that if the Senator
shall make any allusion of a criticising
nature to the Mckinley campaign meth
DDS, as some think he is likely to do,
in his -ramarks on assuming the chair,
there will be an unpleasant outbreak;
. hoc cd hat
might be an effort to prevent his serv-
ing as presiding officer. The interest
with which the assembling of the con-
vention is awited borders upon anxiety
in many quarters.

RATTLE WITH INDIANS.

Hermosillo, Mexico. March SO.-Ofi-
cial advices have reached here Of a bat
tie between a detachment of govern
ment troops, under compand Of Cap
tain Ayala and a large force Of Yaqui
Indians. The engagement occurred in
the mountains near one of the Indian
villages and resulted in a victory for the

Indian country, and it is believed that
after a vigorous campaign the rebel

The Akron, Ohio, Murderer Believed to be
Anton strong-He Had Grudge.
Akron, O.. March 30.-The author1-
ties have a theory to-day that Anton
Strong murdered the Stone family last
night. Three years ago, Stone was in
strumental in sending Strong to the
penitentiary for horse stealing, and at
that time Strong vowed vengeance on
Stone and his family. Strong was re-
leased recently, but has not been seen
near the scene of the crime. All the
injured except Stillson, the nephew,
will recover. Stillson's death is mo-
mentarily expected. The county com
missioners have offered a reward OF
81 900 for the arrest of the murderer.

Although the title of 1892" the bril-
liant extravaganza which will be pre-
scented by Rice's big company, is nearly
four hundred and three years behind
the times, the performance as a whole
has all the snap and ginger of dialogue
and the extravaganza of stage settings

lily in New Yor for more than two years,
and has also had tremendously sue

has been keener interest evinced IN
this production in this city than in the

1T MUST BE PATRIOTISM

If the Philadelphia Times is correct in
its opinion as to the effect free coinage
would have on a certain class of citizens
of the United States, and those citizens
agree with the Times, there is a conges-
ton of patriotism as well as of money in
this country. The Times in a recent is
sue says:
mo class would profit more by free sill
yer than the millionares. The major
portion of their property would be NOM
inally doubled in value, and they would
reap rich harvest with their ready mil
lions from the bankruptcy that would in
evitably fall upon an overwhelming num-
Der of those less favored by--fortune
Wall street gamblers would have every
thing to gain by the unsettling of values
that would attend the adoption of free
silver. Anything that disturbs the tran
guilty of commerce and trade is grist to
the mill of the stock gambler Railroad
wreckers would only have their business
multiplied by the acceptance of the free
silver CONFUSION. AS a rule, they would
have everything to gain by our degrade
ton to the silver standard, as they are
shrewd enough to have all their obliga-
lions issued in the reorganization of rail-
ways payable in gold, while under free
silver they would pay their own debts in
money worth so cents on the dollar"
1t is notorious fact that at least 90
per cent of the people spoken of above by
the Times are strong advocates of the
single gold standard and bitter oppo-
nents of the free coinage of silver. No
class would profit more by free silver
than the milllonaires, says the Times.
They are all opposed to it, therefore we
must concede that it is patriotism, pure
and simple, that causes them to oppose
a thing that would double their worldly
holdings. Wall street gamblers would
have everything to gain by free coinage,
according to the Times, and yet they are
opposed to it. Could anything, save pa
triotism, pure patriotism, cause that
class of fellows to oppose proposition
that would only furnish more "grist'
for their mills to grind? Railroad wreck
ers would by free coinage have their
business multiplied, but they are opposed
to 1t. Nothing short of an undying love
of country could induce those fellows to
put up their cash and swell campaign
funds to help keep the people from going
headlong into financial system that
would multiply their business, enable
them to collect their claims in gold and
pay their debts in so cent silver dollars
