Is II Not Their business:
Congressman Grosvenor Of Ohio is sup
posed to stand pretty close to Candidate
Mckinley. He is one of the managers Of
the Mckinley campa.gn-the statistician
of the campaign bureau. From time to
time he complies statistics of the standing
of the delegations, and has himself inter-
viewed TO the end of furthering the Ohio
candidates boom. In one of his late in
terviews, said to have been given to the
New York World at Atlantic City, he is
quoted as saying with regard to the eff
forts of certain democrats and democratic
newspapers to ascertain how Maj. Nc
Kinley stands with regard to the money
question: ut is none of their d. bust
ness"
The business men are profoundly inter-
ested in knowing how candidate stands
on the money question. 1t seems alto
gether likely that Mckinley win be the
nominee of the republican party, and the
nominee of that party has probably the
better chance of winning the election.
Under present conditions business men
are curtailing their operations as much as
possible. They do not know what the pol
icy of the next administration will be,
whether it will be to maintain the value
Of the American dollar or to degrade it
by making concessions to the silver shout
ers 1t is but reasonable that they should
desire a forecast of the policy of the can
didates of the leading parties, in order
that they may if possible extend their
business, to the Improvement of the times.
But, according to Grosvenor, sit is none
of their d. business"
1t is understood that a delegation of
New York business men will shortly visit
Canton. O., for the purpose of getting
from Mr. Mckinley an expression of his
opinion with regard to the silver issue.
But his lieutenant says lit is none of their
d business" what his opinion is. Some
of them are democrats. Some others of
them, by the way, are republicans. Re
publican business men are quite as much
interested in knowing the candidates po-
sition as are the democrats, and they are
equally in the dark with regard to it.
Is it any of their ID business?" 1t is
probable that the whole business commu-
nifty will resent Gen. Grosvenor's profane
and disrespectful expression. aimed nomi-
nany at democrats and democratic news
papers, but necessarily including those re-
publicans who are trying to find out
where Mckinley stands.
