It is because of that sst I Tom Platt is making such a M ssont MeKinley's public record, .sr him of unsound financial I know Mckinley very we'll, and much confidence in his integ- Ls I have Tom Platt's. Neverthe- < is probably true, as Platt and rppublieans are saying, that Hanna has used his own money r,ised money among the manufac- { for the purpose of infu- ,e and controlling delegates 'ibe republican national con- or. After Mckinley is nom- 1 propose to keep these facts be- tbe people and it will then be too
 
 Or Platt or any of his managers to rake to deny that corruption was to bring about the nomination of nley at St. Louis. l do not believe the people will indorse and ratify methods when they come to cast ballots at the polls next Novem- mi Platt is rendering the demo- of New York a great deal of itons service this year. Not only taking now against the republic candidate, thereby g thousands of democratic votes rbout the country. but he has New York practically democratic npellihg his legislature to enact aines liquor law, and requiring Nrnor to approve that measure. Platt's laundering with the ieg-  e has been ably supplemented by iotic conduct of municipal affairs great cities. The republicans ere shouting two years ago. and t year, over the victories they jn, and claiming that they would the cities and states for 20 years e, are to-day hiding their heads me. They do not even have the 2 to come out and try to offer ies and explanations for the rs of Strong, Roosevelt and the alleged reformers who wrecked arty. The electoral votes of 0rk state this year will be cast , democratic national ticket" 7 about Pennsylvania 2"
 Ike no stock in the story that Sem nay will desert his party in the Of NcKinley's nomination, or
 
 will permit the state of Penn q to go democratic if it were for him to prevent it. Of Goy. Pattison is a strong man lsylvania, and might carry that ] the presidential year if there be apathy on the part of the can managers, either in Penn or at national headquarters. ay IS a man whom I admire, be- ie has determination of char Personal disappointments have 3 him as they have come to all political life, but Quay has etrayed his friends nor never de ms party. I believe he will strong fight to keep Pennsyl- the republican column, no mat 'ther Mckinley should be nom 'r not; therefore I do not count electoral vote of Pennsylvania aemocratic ticket. I have nc however, that in the event of 'ys nomination, New York, 'fsey ard Connecticut will De on the democratic side of tn a. do not believe that MeKin-
 carry Indiana, and therefore that with a united democratic 'e can elect our ticket. Three ago 1 could not see such pros T democratic success: but re- dlssensions have been such o@entertain hopes of democrat 'esall along the lines this year."
