M'KINLEY'S PAST.
a STORY PUBLIsRED WHICH HIS
MANAGERS HASTEN TO DENY.
At the Same Time They Say 1t Is Too
Late to Start Any Stories That
Can Possibly Injure Mckinley
Now.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.-The following
statement was given out this afternoon
at Republican headquarters:
In these last days of the campaign
we may expect almost any kind of a
story to be published regarding the
past and future lives of the Republic
can candidates for the presidency and
vice presidency. The most clumsy,
base and contemplate forgery is the
Following, which purports to be a let
ter written by Governor Mckinley.
This was sent to the national commit
tee:
Washington, April =, 1890.
Dear General Welles-Your letter
of Importance begging me to use my
influence to secure a pension for Will
lam N Sillowaye, who was a brave
offlcer, as you will say, and an Ameri-
can, l can only say that l decline to
DO so, and If bills are introduced /
shall do all can to defeat them. /
do not believe in granting pensions to
British and Irish hirelings who came
here, enlisted and received their boun-
ties pay In the case of Sillowaye,
though you say he saved President
Lincoln from being captured. he re-
celved his reward by promotion, and
ne is well able to earn a living for
many years TO come. Hoping you are
well, remain yours fraternally,
WILLIAM M'KINLEY
1t was pinned to sheet OF paper
with the following letter, unsigned:
'Sir-The above letter is one OF
many that are in the possession OF
Colonel William n. Siilowaye of the
New York Bulletin, Third avenue, that
set up in downtown Office to be
sent out next week in all the Demo-
cratic papers of the state, and through
other states. 1 send ii to you so you
can act accordingly. The old man gets
$1,000 for ii, and the letters in mis- Dos
session are such as viii turn New York
state to Bryan as well as other states.
You can, no doubt. if in time. coun-
teract and get Sillowaye to stop their
publication. You see it in cold type,
and can act as you please
The committee has declined to pur-
chase 1t. and take the liberty to pub
lish 1t themselves. Anyone who ever
lznew Governor Mckinley knows that
the letter is stamped from its first SEN
tence to its last with falsehood. Tn
to January, 1894, he always signed his
name William Mckinley. 1r.. and when
his father died in that month he
dropped the junior from his name.
The governors record as brave
soldier and his record of standing. in
season and out of season, upon ali oc-
casions by these brave men who gave
their services and their lives to their
country, has never been questioned or
doubted. 1t is too late to start anv
stories now"

Following Mr.. Dunbar, Hon John T.
Game spoke briefly on local issues and

The meeting was brought 10 a fitting
close for a Democratic meeting by a loud
burst of applause when he urged in con-
clusion that all present put their cross
up by the rooster and let il go at that
e, - g
One of the best Democratic meetings
held in the county was that in Sugar
House ward last evening. The crowd was
all that could get into the hall. and the
speeches were strong and convincing.

and put the audience in a good numOr by
felic4tous address OF ten minutes. He
was followed by Waldemar Van Cott,
candidate for county attorney.
Mr.. Van Colt gave an able exposition
of the silver question and closed with
some very sound reasons for voting the
whole Democratic ticket. He was fol-
lowed by Mrs. Faust and Nicol Wood in
vocal and Instrumental music, after
which Judge lie Grand Young addressed
the meeting.
Judge YOung's speech was one OF the
strongest heard in Sugar ward this cam

tween the Democratic and Republican
parties. demonstrating that the former
had always been the party of the people
and the Republican party the party Of
the capitalist and centralized power.
X. Il. Shepard closed the NEE ting. He
confined himself entirely TO local issues
and made splendid argument in favor
of electing the whole Democratic ticket.
He showed the extravaganza of the pres
ent administration, especially the COM
miSSlOnerS. and cOntraSted the various
candidates on the two tickets until no
one present but felt there was certainly
a marked difference between the two
tickets. with the advantage all in favor
of the Democrats. The meeting viii have

most prominent of the silver Democrats
of Chicago. will speak at Democratic
