see collected great national party
that will give prosperity to the coun-
try. He expects and hopes that men of
all shades Of former political belief
will be united to this end. l have
talked with some of the most influen-
tial of the old Democratic leaders. and
1 am glad to say they are in accord
with Major McKinley's hopes.
"The first movement he will make
will be to obtain sufficient revenue to
conduct the government. Further is
sues OF bonds would be altogether too
dangerous. Business prosperity and
stability demand that as soon as posi-
bic the government should be On 8
paying basis.
$40 this end, an extra session OF
Congress will be necessary. and Presi'
dent Mckinley will undoubtedly cal
one soon after his Inauguration.
"Legisla' ion will be required to Sc
cure the desired revenue, and Major
Mckinley will do everything in hi
power to secure it, as we'll as the lega
establishment of policy which will
tend to put every body to work. In al
this he hopes and expects that he viii

These changes would have given
every one of the nine States to Bry-
an. and adding their 60 votes to the
lG7 he got elsewhere, would have
made his strength in the electoral
college 227-three more than he
needed to make him President.
1t is a serious reflection that the
changing of only 1893 votes-as Il
matter of fact the change of % O26
votes would have accomplished the
results all that stood between the
election of Mckinley and the cleo
ton of Bryan. We commend this
reflection to the gentlemen who are
throwing up their hats and scream
ing Themselves black in the face
with nonsense about landslides and
similar absurdities. Mr.. Mckinley
got tremendous majorities in New
England, New York, Pennsylvania,
Iowa, Michigan, and Illinois, but in
the lest Of the country he had q
mighty narrow escape from defeat.

party as would be Cabinet officer In
exercising the same inalienable rights.
No objection on your part to my &C
tiyity in the campaign, which has just
closed was eve- made known to me
pending the campaign. On the con-
tra-y, 1 was informed that you held to
the view that you could not consist
emily remove any man from office for
exercising the same rights which
you yourself were exercising.
NV reno yal from office, the first in
timatiOl of which was obtained from
the newspapers while on the train on
my return to Washington from my
home, was, therefore, complete sur
prise to me. No one knows better
than yourself the long friendship l
had manifested for you, the interest l
had taken and the sacrifices OF time
and money made by me in promoting
your ambitions.
In view of all the facts it seems to
me that | was at least entitled to some
warning and notice before being
kicked out of Office without even the
opportunity of declining to resign.
Had I known or suspected that i
could not hold office under this admin
istration and at the same time exer-
J else the rights of an American tree.
! man. l would have promptly rendered
: you my resignation at the opening O
the campaign.
Inasmuch as other appointees OF TIT
| present administration, including
l many in your own department, hav'
been permitted to take an active par
against Mr.. Bryan in the campaign
y not only on the stump, but in the wOrl
e of organization, without rebuK
or removal, it is evident that tn
d cause of my offending lies not in M
e actions, but in my convictions.
: 1t follows, therefore, that you hav
: caused your great office to suppress
freedom of thought and action, and
/! punish those who dare to differ fror
lr you-a thing insuppOrtable in IRE
government-by terrorizing over tn

For such abuse Of public Office, whic
ne is q public trust, you cannot but (
held accountable at the bar OF publ

humble as l am 1 would rather be
