M'KINLEY WROTE 1T.
The Finance Plank Adopted at st. Louis
Was Prepared by the Nominee.


Charles Emory Smith, editor Of the
Philadelphia Press, has the following
signed article In that paper explaining,
under the title "Some Truths About
st. Louis" how the financial plank in
the st. Louis platform was drawn up
and adopted:
"For the truth of history and in JUS
tlce to all concerned, there are some
things about the st. Louis convention
that ought to be said, and said frankly
and promptly. For the sake of being
more direct and explicit shall ask in
diligence in speaking In the first per-
son, as occasion may require. l shall
speak with entire kindness, but with
absolute truth.
"First, 1 mean to dispose once for all,
now and forever, of the false claim
that the financial plank Of the plat
form, with It's noble declaration for the
gold standard, was eXtorted by Eastern
politicians from McKinleY's reluctant
managers, who are said to have wanted
a strRddle. A plain statement Of facts
within my personal knowledge will
throttle this last pretense of bsfled and
beaten bosses.
"Through the courtesy of Governor
Foraker of Ohio l accompanied him
on the Friday night preceding the con-
Vention from Cincinnati to st. Louis
In the private car which had been
placed at his disposal. Governor For
sker had already been designated as the
Ohio member of the Platform commit.
tee, and In the very nature of the case,
as the representative of Governor Nc
Kinley's State, he was sure to be Chair
man of that committee. During the
evening he drew from his pocket q
draft of the financial plank which had
come from Canton. II was the basis,
as will more completely appear here
after, of the financial plank actually
adopted. Governor Forsker's own po.
sitlOn was clear and unhesitRting. He
has been, and is now, q true bimetsllist
in the broad international sense. He
believes In the largest practicable use
of both metals, but unquali6edly upon
the gold standard until the joint stand.
ard of the old European bimetallic
union can be re- e-established by inter
national agreement He frankly stated
In the course of the conversation that
In order to remove any possible misun-
derStanding he was ready to put the
gold standard squsrely into the plat
form.
"As soon as practicable after reach
ing st. Louis early Saturday morning,
l went to the Ohio headquarters and
found Governor McKinley's immediate
representatives. They had been In
possession Of a copy of the same draft
which Governor Foraker had shown
me. For two or three days they had
been comforting with each other and
hsmmering it into shape. They i'm
medistely placed in my hands a copy
as they perfected it-s copy which
still hold In my possession just as they
gave 1t to me-s copy which might
have been telegrsphed to the Press on
the Saturday preceding the convention,
but for the restriction which confidence
imposes-and now append this copy

ard OF the most en- or paper, ct the pres

enlightened nations Of
the earth.
''It will be seen that the Mckinley
plank and the convention plank are
Identical In substance and almost iden-
ticsl In form. The first Is mRnlfestly
not merely the basis but the text of
the second, with only such slight
changes In the finished form as came
from further verbal perfeCting. Both
declare for the existing gold standard;
both declare against free silver coin
age except by international agreement,
and both favor such an agreement. In
essence, in aim, In breadth, In limits-
tlons they are exactly one and the same
thing. To read the two side by side
tells the whole story, and explodes the
impudent pretense which has been put
forward to save some remnants of sue
cess for men who were beaten In every.
thing else and who sought to shield
their defeat and retreat under thee
of having at least forced the gold
standard.
"As to the authorship of this plank
l can speak with the more freedom be-
cause, while some other parts of the
platform have been charged upon the
present writer, 1 had absolutely no
hand In the composition Of the fnsn-
cisl declaration. This enables me to
say just where the credit should be
placed. The basis Of the plank, as al
ready stated, came from Canton. The
perfected plank is the composite work
of several able, earnest and Conspicu-
GUS Republicans, all Of them In the
close, inner councils of Governor Nc
Kinley. Ex-Governor Merriam of Min
nesots had large hand In the con-
struction. Congressman Herrick of
Cleveland watched and warded every
step In its evolution. Mr.. Kohlsaat,
the incisive and intrepid master spirit
of the Chicago Times Herald, put all
his force and energy into the demand
for the gold standard and stamped his
distinct impress upon the work. Judge
Fairbanks, who went from Canton to
be temporary Chairman, expressed 1t
in his mastery speech"

CHAMBERS.

1.-THE d difficulty OF Graduating the disease
Is great, as far as the entire country is con.
cerned. The great trouble ie, hat a man
ma. have several glandered horses and Oc-
casionally lose one, for a period OF eight or
ten years before it occurs to him or his
neigbors to report the matter tor investiga-
ton.
The practicable plan is for the aronsing
OF a neighborhood interest. II you and
your neighbors would work the matter up
in your valley, get as much cooperation as
practicable from farmers, and have your
men watch carefully on road and range for
suspicious horses, reporting them prompt.
~.
l rode to your place behind a pair OF
horses belonging to our dlrec or; in a little
more than six months both had been killed
for CHAMBERS. yet both had been placed IN
your stables. There is little doubt but that
they got the disease here during the winter,
yet how easily they could have bad 1t, un-
seen, when they were in your stable. So it
Is with livery horses-you cannot say when
they have come out Of your stable-lt they
have left 1t clean or inferior. Again If you
drive to Dillon or Virginia and stable your
team, you take a risk which should not be
bellttled. Consequently, such driving teams
are, to my mind, a constant source of dan
ger. So l would say, keep driving teams,
transient or stage horses, strange mares for
breeding, etc, wholly separate from your
general stock. With these precausions, and
the prompt reporting OF anything suspi-
cious in our neighborhood, having all your
employees take a special interest in the mat
ter, I think You will have done all in your
power to guard against disease."-Extract
