MORE STNBEAMS FROM CCCUMBERS.


woebinoton cucumbprs grown right here on
Manhattan Island and cucumbers from Indiana
emitted sunbeams of the most dazzling radiance
upon the gentlest pressure Our lively contem
norory. The New-York Sun" now working IN
harness with ''The Evening Eczema opened UP
with Washington dispatch In which the
great uncasincss" of tie Mckinley men was
vividly described TO the extent of column
Part of this uneasincss Is on account of the
fear that has taken possession Of them lest the
Democrats nav nominate Senator Teller for
President: but more Of 1t because differences
have arisen between director Chief Hanna"
and Assistant Drcctor-in-Chcf kohlsaat
These two II seems 'have locked horns over
"thc question as TO whether Mckinley should
declare himself az soundmoney man or an
advocate Of conservative recognition of sill
'ver." These differences have so bewldercd
Mckinley that he rs uncertain himself what
TO do" The disputes on this subject have gone
so far. and been carried on with such turbulent
and dlsordcrly discourse at dinners at which
both have been present that III the dispute
goes much further it will be impossible for the
"candidatc TO attend any more dinners with his
warning managers" Editor Kohlsaat has, in
fact. already withdrawn from participation In
ing been commissioned to represent him at the
last one. 1t Is also announced that Senator
Lodge still hopes that the Convention will have
''the wisdom TO nominate Speaker Reed
Moreover. II has been discovered that "the
Mckinley men have been for several weeks
"at work trying TO undermine the Morton
strength in the NcwYork delegation" II
hardly need be said that anybody who would
do that sort of thing would not hesitate to steal
pennies off n dead mans eyes lf II can be
proved. il will hurt the men who are playing
the low-down game The process OF undermine
Ing ms described is for the Mckinley managers
to invite the Republican aspirants for the Gov
ernorship TO visit Mckinley at Canton. and
once there. win them over by promises Of the
GOvcrnorship TO each one. The plot has been
exposed by man "wcl known throughout the
country" who has powerful Influence IN
New-York politics. whose name has frequent
"ly been mentioned In connection with the Gov
censorship" and who will I've n delegate to the
ST. Louis Convention" Name not given The
fact Is enough: name of no consequence This
also Will operate as a corker when II Genes TO
be generally known. No man who will permit
his managers 10 undermine the Morton strength
In Ncw-Yorl can succeed. II Is evidence Of
cruel disposition and bad heart.
Another source OF encouragement IL Perry
Carson's barbecue Somebody has been threat
cning Perry that unless he calls OF his bar
becue. and ceases welding his powerful infiu-
ence against Mckinley. neither he nor any other
coorpd person attending his barbecue Will have
"a smell OF the patronage under the Mckinley
Administration" But Perry says he Will not be-
bulldozed and that the barbecue will come of.
He Is for Allison first next Reed. next Quay,
and not for Mckinley at all Il shall stand by
these men, he says because they stood by
me-: and he adds "If go down IT shall bc for
n principle" As Il factor in the political situa
ton Perry Carson's barbecue can hardly be
overestmatcd "The sun evidently npprrci
ntcs that fact and gives TO the barbecue the
Importance It deserves We do not permit our
selves 10 entertain for moment the suspicion
that Perry Carson would bc treated with less
seriousness by our contemporary II he had n

uous relation he holds 10 National politics. and
the universal interest manifested in his bar

great reason TO thank both his stars and his
sponsors for the brcyity Of his christening
Then there's an Indiana man Ia town said TO

"Whltc House just as they manage him now"
There IL also no mistake about one thing and
that Is that n number Of the Indiana delegates
INSTRUCTED for Mckinley nrc ready TO jump
him for Harrison" All these things are full
OF encouragement; but the climax Is reached
In the announcement that Senator Foraker had
arrived in New York, and that he met Senator
Platt and shook hands with him. SO every
thing goes along swimmingly IN our versatile
contemporaries conduct Of the Platt campaign
against Mckinley
We regret 10 be obliged to say that tho other
