The other day a Quay organ-ln
Pennsylvania. of course-uncovered a
dIabolical plot to advance McKinley'S
interest by putting out 10000 buttons
bearing the photograph of the Ohio
statesman.
BY pressing this button into the lapels
of $1,000 coats an unworthy, not to say
outrageous, attempt was to be made to
subJugate great political organization
and hitch 1t to the chariot wheels OF the
Ohio man. 1t seemed little less than a
brazen attempt to accomplish a dia-
bollcal purpose.
Now we read In the same newspaper
that Senator ouay's friends have given
an order for half million buttons with
the Quay portrait blown in. and these
are to be handed out for the good of the
cause. SO the interesting game of
Button. button. who's got the buttonT"
goes on.
