Manchester, N. H.. Nov 21.-The Tip

eject Ramsdell, Congressman Sulloway,
Congressman-elect Clarke, Mayor
Clarke, Ex-Governor Cheney and others

NeW Aork on private and public bust
ness on my way to Washington, which
cannot wisely break. Allow me TO pre-
sent only one idea in this letter TO the
Ilppecanoe club. We rightly based our
principal arguments against Mr. BRYAN
upon the unwisdom of the immediate
Tree coinage OF silver by the United
states alone: but much fear upon that
Issue alone we should have lost states
enough in the Mississippi valley TO have
ueiedteu Mchlnley. What, then, saved
the nght? Simply the tariff issue In
1894 those states made up their minds
that they would break the power of the
democratic party and secure all needful
protective tariff laws. That resolution
they clung 10 in spite OF all attempts to
change II, and the votes thus influenced
saved US the election. TO be sure. Bryan
assailed the tariff and helped destroy the
democratic party, and Palmer and
Buckner also assailed the tariff and
helped elect Mckinley and Hobart But
neither the unsound money Democrats
or the sound money Democrats will ex-
pect the Republican party TO falter I'm
enacting tariff laws. Indeed the New
Hampshire Democrats. I'm their conven-
tlon or last spring, unanimously declared
that they favored incidental protection.

THE SECRETARY OF THE TREA sURY

1t was probably news TO most American
citizens that the Hon. MARK A. HANNA,

words, broadly speaking, no man en-
gagged In business as distinguished from
the trades and professions, is eligible TO

In the case Is as follows (Section 243 OF the
Revised Stat uies OF the United States):
No psrson appointed to the ofIics OF

OF any public securities of any State. or
