TIC. PLATT'S CRITICISM
OF Maj. McKinley's Failure to De-
fine His Position
WITH REGARD TO THE MONEY QUESTION
Replied to by Representa- tive Grosvenoi
McKinley's Campaign Manager in
Washington in Words Full
Of Meaning

New YORK, May Is. A Herald special
from Washington says; Representative
Grosvenor, McKinley's campaign man
ager In Washington, has heretofore de-
clined to pay any attention to ], u
rlatt's severe attacks upon the Ohio
candidate, but when seen Wednesday,
and asked If he had seen Mr. Platts
criticism OF McKinley's failure to de-
clare himself on the money question,
his reply was prompt and full of mean
ing.
ayes, have read them said Gen.
Grosvenor, ''and am entirely content
that Mr.. Platt shall continue to dis
turb the peace and to destroy the
prospects of the republican party In
the state of New York. II he can af'
ford 1t let him continue to stand 7a re-
publicans in a row and ostracise them
and disfrauchise them from taking any
part in the nomination of the presi-
dent of the United States. Let them
stand there and be mute for the pur-
pose of the execution Of vengeance OF
Mr., Platt; let him do it.
"Therc Is not one of them who does
not know that Gov. Morton will not be
nominated. They are high-mindcd re-
publicans, anxious to take hand in
the nomination of president, but they
are forbidden to do so, and while the
party is going forward they stand by
and look on.
mckinley will be nominated on the
first ballot by n majority of nearly 200
When he has been named let Mr.. Platt
settle with the men whose political fu-
ture he has clouded 1t is not the
first time Mr.. Platt has destroyed po-
litical prospects in the state of New
York. lie missed being secretary OF
the treasury under Garfield, and did
not get the office under Harrison, and
we know what followed. can stand
1t, and the republican party at large
can stand It, but it is a little hard on
some of the republicans in the state OF
New York, who would like to take u
hand in what is going on"
This is the first time In the history
of politics in this country that any
man, pretending to he u leader, has as
sailed the personal integrity and honor
of n candidate of his own party for the
presidency who had already received
an overwhelming majority of tht
votes of the country. Mr. Plat
places his individual judgment against
that of the men who have elected
nearly 600 delegates, and he tells that
great body of republicans that then
candidate is u dishonest, sneaking man
who Is afraid to let the people know
how he stands on the great question OF
the day, He growls and growls, 'whom
the gods would destroy they first max,
mad"

that there was absolutely no difference
between the method of operation in

board of trade business legitimate does
the same thing for the lesser dealers
