publicly for Mr.. Mckinley. MIR. Croker is
put down as a sound money man.

Murphy, Mr.. Sheehan, and MIR. Hinckley
are Withholding their fire, but they can
hardly be counted as champions of the Chi
cago ticket. They may not bolt It. They
may, after a fashion, accept It. But even
II they do accept it, they can hardly be
relied on to become effective workers for
it.
Can such a situation this with regard
to the national ticket be changed at this
late day so to afford any encourage
ment to the local ticket? The difficulty ap-
pears to be insurmountable. Mr.. Hill, 1t is
said. has never before been so completely
befogged. His concern Is all for the state
situation. The national situation promises
nothing either to him or to the party. He
considers the action taken at Chicago as a
complete surrender to populism, and that
the success of the coalition at the polls
would involve straightout democrats In no
end of difficulties. Still he does not care to
bolt. His position Is different from that Of
Mr.. Whitney. who Is and has always been
little free-hahded in poHtics Mr.. Hill
Is not only one of the regulars. but one of
the leaders. He has incurred many obliga-
tons, and is the kind of man who remem-
bers and stands by his friends. But for
tune has made his road a hard one to
travel this time. and that is why Chairman
Jones is not tying to hurry him along.

Hospitality for LII Hung Chang.

There are good substantial reasons why
the United States should be most hospitable
in its treatment of Ii Hung Chang. who Is
expected to leave Europe for this country
in little while end who will go directly
from San Francisco 10 his home in China.
Foreign nations have been extremely liberal
in their entertainment of the great Oriental
statesman; not bee ause they were eSpeci-

done their best In behalf Of those of their
citizens who are hopeful Of securing the
favor of Lii Hung Chang and the dollars of
the Flowery Kingdom: soon it will be the

III Hung Chang knows that geogra phically
this is the most advantageous market; It is
the duty of the representatives of the re-
public to make 1t apparent to the Chinese

Position OF Cieve,anGs Men.

Washington. July 1.-THE Evening
Star to-day says Assistant Secretary OF
the Treasury Hamlin made a short
statement this afternoon in explanation
of his position regarding the Democrat
ic platform and nominations. Inas-
much as Hamlin represented the ad-
ministration forces at Chicago and has
been in frequent consultations with
Secretary Carlisle over the political sit
uation since the adjournment OF the
convention, the statement made by him
to-day will undoubtedly be accepted by
many as a semi-official declaration OF
the position of the sound money men Of
the administration. This impression is
further strengthened by the belief that
Hamlin spent several days at Marion,
near Gray Gables. on his way back to
Washington from Chicago. The state
ment referred to is as follows: mo
political issue Is involved In the coming
election. The question to be decided Is
far deeper and more vital. Perpetulty
OF republican institutions has been
threatened. Every loyal citizen should
ally himself against the forces which
controlled the Chicago conyention.
