~
letter to Senator Lodge, explaining
how the New Hampshire Republican
convention got away from his control
and doomed Mckinley. Tho explana-
tlon, Of itself, does not amount TO
much, but the letter is ren6ered of un.
usual interest by the fact that it con
tains few rather surprising state
ments. One is as follows;
We nominated the delegates by accla-
nation, and adopted tho platform as a
whole unanimously. 4 motion was
made by a Boston broker to substitute
for the currency plank the singh gold
standard resolution of tho Massachu-
setts convention, which was opposed by
Senator Galingar and others, and ouy
received ono vote. that of the broker
himself. il Was unsuited to the opinion
OF New Hampshire Ropublicans and to
the candidacy Of Mr. Reed, who is d
bimetallist
Here is distinct and positive
declaration that Mr.. Reed is bi.
metallist made on the authority Of a
United States Senator. And yet the
Massachusetts Republican convention
endorsed Reed in a platform declaring
for the single gold standard. If
4 Speaker Reed is correctly represented
by Senator Chandler, the Massachu.
setts Republicans will feel like ro-
conyening their convention and re.
pudiating the man from Maine.
Anothcr paragraph of the letter, re.
iorring to another subject, is as follows :

i act IF rowardIce when, on a f1alis'i nre.
