such methods, for such black purposes,
and all beneath the domineering eye
and thumb of Hanna, the sole inquiry
is ssHanna?"
what is he? Who is he? How has his
,as5. zone? tell us of his deeds. Han
ma IS the substance of the situation.
Mckinley is nothing but a name. Ii
isle of Hanna to / of Canton candidate.
THE syndicate is in the saddle, the
candidate is beneath it. with the syn
dicafe bit IN his mouth and the syndi-
cate spur in his quarter.
II.
What is the matter with this
smile? Why should its accurate excel
lence be impugned or its generosity
inveighed against. They have brought
McKinley-bought and paid for him
like horse-this syndicate. They
have housed and fed and financed him
xfor Eve long years TO ride him to the
White House IN 1896.
They were brought to extraordinary
expenditure, to an unanticipated out
Law. and forced to wipe him free of the
mud and stains of the Walker failure
of 1903. Out of the unexpected came
sf1s. coo of McKinleys notes of hand to
raven and to rend him. What was a
syndicate already ahoat with its en-
aerprise to do? 1t must pay them;
.and it did.
And as this is read let Hanna an
ssaer for the whereabouts of those
Sis, 600 worth of notes. Where are
they? Safe in the clutch of the syndi-
cate that paid the money and took
them up. Safe in the vaults of the
Swings Bank of Cleveland, o., the bus
mess home of Herrick the treasurer oil
the syndicate, and incidentally that
scheming body's money headquarters
Were the notes destroyed? No. Were
they given to Mckinley by those sons
of craft and thrifty millions who PAID
them up and took their candidate out
of the claws of his creditors? No. The
notes were not destroyed; they were
not given to Mckinley; they were
preserved and exist to-day thar syndi
Gates title deeds to the candidate
whose fight they furnish and whose
fortunes they pretend to push while
simply fostering their own.
Those notes, S11S,000, are in force
overdue and unpaid. They could bios
som 10 judgment in any court in the
land. They could to-day inspire
suit and put wings to process agains
this candidate whom the ring abou
aim assumes to love so much. BY thu
power of those notes of hand they
now put words in McKinley's mouth
or strike him dumb. BY their sway
they build platform and he steps up
on it. Mckinley is held in thrall ant
bond.
Free, he was for silver and his record
