ENOUGH FOR THE PUBLIC.
Mark Hanna Says Mckinley VIII
Abide By the St. Louis Platform.

Chicago, May Civilian z. Curtis,
Washington cores spOndent of the Rec
ord, writes his paper regarding NIcKin-
ley's position as follows.
Speaking of the efforts to draw Ma
jor Mckinley into print on the silver
question, Mr.. Hanna said to me at
Cleveland the other day:
They are trying to involve him in
a controversy, but they can't do it. 1t
is not customary for presidential candi-
dates to declare themselves upon pend
ing questions until they write their let
ter of acceptance. and Major Mckinley
is willing to be judged by his past. At
the beginning Of our campaign We
adopted a set of rules which have been
strictly adhered to. One was to make
no unkind remarks or unfavora bic re-
Elections upon our opponents. Another
was to make no promises to our friends
and supporters. "A third was to be
frank and open with everybody. A
fourth was for Mckinley to be absO-
lutely silent on all matters that con
cern the presidency, and let his friends
do the talking. He has observed the
rule cOnscientiously, and viii continue
to do so.
.. But I can tell you in a few words

know added Mr.. Hanna Major Nc

Record from Des MOines, Ia, says:
The leaders of the silver and gold
forces at the Democratic state conven-

The silver men are elated, but the gold
men are not discouraged. 1t developed
that the gold standard men had deter
mined to play a bold game at Dubuque
to Outwit the silver men, but were
baked by the silver element being fore
warned.
When on Tuesday night the silver
men had announced that they would
refuse to let Temporary Chairman Sam
uel Wright make his gold speech, the
gold men determined to wait until the
temporary chairman had been turned
down, then, by the chairman of the
state central committee, S. G. Ranck
of Iowa City. declare the convention
adjourned. It was their purpose then
to meet in convention at the call of
the chairman without the silver ele-
ment in attendance and select dele
cation to Chicago.
Unfortunately for the plan the silver
men discovered it and baked it by not
interfering with the temporary chair
man.

her neglect by Miss Anthony to whom
she said she had beeen a loyal sup

This structure is an imitation of the

est point being 800 feet from the ground
while the top of the Ferris wheel was
only 264 feet high. Then again the
London wheel carries forty large cars
while the Chicago wheel had thirty-six.
All the cars of the Chicago wheel We're
alike, but ten of the cars of the London
wheel are upholstered and luXuriOusly
furnished for the use of first class pas
sengers.
Five of these are reserved for smok-
ers and five for nOn-smOkers; the re-
naming thirty cars carry second class
passengers, the full capacity of the
wheel being 1900 people. On top of
the two towers on which the wheel re
wolves are two promenade salons.

DIDN'T TELL TAUBENECK.
The Populist Chairman Knows Moth
ing Of the Proposed Fusion.

ment from Indiana that the Populists
from every state in the Union are to
fuse with the Democrats in case a

cited much interest among local Pop
u1ists.
Chairman Taubeneck of the Peoples
party national executive committee
when seen, said. Il know absolutely
nothing of the story. No POpulist, BIZ
metalIist or silver Democrat has ever
mentioned this to me. IF the Populists
of Indiana have agreed to a. com bina-
ton of this kind they have not taken
any one into their confidence. So far
as the national committee of the PeO-
pies party is concerned there is no
truth in the report
