1.-THE naked truth" says THE Rochester Her
aid" rs that Miller has been punished for his ag-
gressiye zeal in behalf Of the Ohio candidate,
which was the original cause OF his rupture with
the New-York boss. Major Mckinley must con-
template with peculiar sentiments the spectacle or
Warner Miller pounced upon and oyerwheimed IN
his own home because he ann9unced preference nee
for McKinleys nomination However, every DOG
has his day.
In a recent issue OF The Utica Herald. Charles w.
Hackett made the false statement that the Mckinley
League people were trying perfect arrangement
with Senator Hi looking to HE'S nomination for
Governor by the Democrats. For this he Is promptly
taken to task By The Buffalo Express and. and urged

The action Of the Mckinley League OF Albany
County in calling Independent Republican conven-

The growing spirit of independence is seen all over

According to THE Syracuse News Mr.. Plat has
arranged to round out his political career with

ington to redeem his Senatorial record, which has
always had a bad taste in his mouth
Replying to The Binghamton Republican's' re-
cent euogy Of Plat, The Herald OF that city.
dissents most emphatically from the conclusions OF
rs contemporary. Let us consider for a moment,
says The Herald" whether il is true, as The
Republican, says. that the Ranes law takes the saloon
ont Of politics. Will any man secure the appointment
of confidential agent under the Ralnes law unless he
is a politician and a follower OF the machine? How
is 1t about the bond the liquor men are obliged to
give? Three fOurths of the saOOn-keepers OF this
State went Immediately to Thomas c. Platts son.

directly in the interests OF the people has been al
lowed become law since Plat has been the die
tator in this state Is that the stye OF legislative
work that suits Mckinley Republicans? No II IS
not. Men who Ike Mckinley have a warm regard
