That talk about Cy. Leland being a
candidate for chairman of the nation
al committee, in case of McKinley's
nomination, is all in the fertile imagi-
nation of enterprising newspaper
men. If Mckinley is nominated, it
is expected he will select his right
hand friend. Marcus A. Hanna, for
chairman of the committeeman
right always accorded the nominee.
But he could make a great deal worse
choice than Leland. Jones, the chair
man of Blaine's campaign of 1884, was
an excellent gentleman, but totally
unfit for the position. He conducted
the campaign on the same principles
that he did his own business, in which
he higgled over one-eighth of a cent
in the price of ton of nails. Had he
taken st. John in out of the wet. as
business man should have done. it
would have changed the result Then

Carter, was wholly unfit for the place.
