"rhe more Plett and his friends howl the more
certain Mckinley will be OF getting the hoih-ha-
tion." declared Walter b. Atterbury yesterday "nen
asked for his opinion to the effect OF me ia,s
ATTEMPT of the expressman and his minions 10 ue-
feat Mckinley Mr.. Atterbury mas co'"e o
strongly for Mckinley, and while ne re1useS ~
sneak for his fellow delegates. his words are ever!
where understood to reflect the sentiments vi ''
Brooklyn delegates. who are Secretly io' '"e
Ohioan.
Continuing with reference to the money scare
being worked up by the Plattites Mr.. Atterbury
said: Since the last two bond transactions the en-
tire West has been highly suspicious OF wall street
and all It's affairs. No New-York man couid DC
nominated for President or for Nce-Fresiueh',
either. I believe The man must come from west
~ tho AlIeshanies The attacks upon Mckinley
will fall far short OF their mark. The delegates
are all chosen ana the only effect that can now De
produced upon the nomination Is through the dele
gates These criticisms OF the Ohio man on his
financial record have not had. and never VIII nave
the slightest effect in influencing the delegates
against him These men who working so hard
to break the Mckinley line must be desperate In
deed. They have adopted the yery course that "'i
be OF the greatest assistance to Mckinney ,o,o.

up $25 on the field against every 800 wagered on
the Ohio candidate When asked where the money
could be found. Mr.. Moody gave the number OF MS
Court-st office. and named a well-kno"n trust
Moody is strongly for Reed and still has confidence
that the Maine man will be successful.
