Senator Palmer Starts for Home in
the Afternoon.

the Afternoon.
Senator Palmer, candidate for the Pres
idcucy nn the straight Democratic gold
ticket, spent busy day yesterday at the
Maltby in his Senatorial office. He has
been Sc busy for the past week that he
has been unable to give much of his time
to accumulated correspondence, much Of
which was cleared eff yesterday.
He has not spoken at any length on the
ISIS ues Of the campaign except in his
speeches, but has SAID significantly enough
that his s tate will go-for Mckinley. He
did not say whether this would be the re-
suit Of the Republican force unaided or
on account Of the large vote which the
Senator will undoubtedly receive in that
State, where he is popular both as roll;
tician and as a citizen. Senator Palmer
had probably both chances in view when
he made the statement.
He will leave the city this afternoon at
3:45 o'clock for his home in Springfield,
III. He received yesterday urgent re-
quests to be at home for the opening OF
the campaign in his State tomorrow week.
