Four Millions for a Gold Plank,

Every one knows that M9Kelnley
was not the choice of the gold
ba-ons. Every one knows that be-
fore the St. Louis Convention Nc
Kinley kept his mouth shut tight on
the money question, and that in his
address Immediately after his nomi-
nation he made no allusion to the
financial q1es.i;n. lie was ever
willing to discuss the tariff, but of
gold he wanted to hear nothing.
And yet N sKinley has been obliged
to about-face to tbs gold barons and
give them salutation.
NcKinley's nomination to the
Presidency was forced by the popu-
lar tide in favor of protection, in
spite of the opposition OF The gold
interest. But those who understand
practical politics know that to nomi-
nate man is one thing, and to elect
him is another thing. a oampa;ga
must be organized, and organi-
zation requires money. We
have reference, of course, to
ca npaign work that is legitimate
and honest in all elections, and for
all parties, and that cannot be dis,
ponsed with without jeopardizjng
the success Of the camp Ign.
1t is the consideration of this fact
that induced the Mckinley manage
ment to make the about-face
manoeuvre to the gold barons.
On what authority is this sta'e,
ment put forth? 1t is made on the
authority of the New York World
of June % which is one of the most
vigorous of the gold organs here in
tina East. Under the head OF "Mll-
lions for G I'D Plank" the World
says that "Mark Hanna (McKinley's
manager) was notified that he would
have to raise his own campaign
funds If he did not consent to have
gold written in the platform. On
the other hand" Mr.. Hanna was
told that ''if he gave way he would
be provided with a fund the sias of
which," we quote the World article,
"opened even his eyes" Four mil
lion dollars is the sum named in the
World as the price paid for acquies-
care, in the gold baroas' demant.-
