Mark Hanna fried SO much fat out of
the expect-to-be protected manufactur-
ers that he drove them out of business
and captured the prize for his man,
McKinley-the st. Louis convention
will only be sort Of ratification meet
ing. Probably just to show his versa.
tility Mr.. Platt is trying the same tao
tics by which he made such miserable
failure four years ago. Then he tried
to use Blaine to prevent the nomina-
tion of Harrison; now lie is trying to
use Harrison to prevent the nomina-
tion of Mckinley. But Quay isn't help
ing him. If Quay was compelled to
choose between the devil and Harrison
he would vote for his satanic majesty
| any time, and Reed is of the same
| mind in that respect. But there is
every reason to believe that Quay has
lad an understanding with Mckinley
all the time, and that he is not doing
any worrying over the situa tion. 1t
is said that Platt accuses Quay Of
treachery towards both himself and
Reed, and that Reed is inclined to take
the same view. |;
Senator Hill has during the present
session proven himself to be one of the
most dangerous men in the Senate to

colt, of Colorado, who tried to rescue
Senator Pettigrew. of South Dakota,
from the rdicule which Sena tor Hill
was heaping on him by reading news
paper extracts of the humiliatipg ex-
perience he had at the Republican con.
vention of his State. After sarcasti.

Of deceDcy,' and asking where The was +,

and the President, Mr.. Hihexclaimed: .

Republican stump speakers during !,

lr. Cannon said that by it's enormous u
appropriations this Congress was d.
'ortgaglng the future receipts of the n

inistration would have to borrow VI

after what sort of tariff law may
