McKINLEY's MONEY RECORD.
4 Correspondents Believes Him Absolute
~ Trustworthy-Qu from His
Speeches i'm the Campbell Campaign
About the Two Parties Also.

Ed. Reformer,
Sir: IT has been objected to Mr. Nc
kinley that he is not sound on the mon
ey question, that he voted for theBland
bill, that he has never in any of his
speeches declared himself in favor of
the gold standard, and that when the
editors of the New York World and
the Boston Herald asked him the ques
ton directly, he declined TO guarantee
that il he were elected the present
monetary standard of the United
States should be permanently main
tanned.
Now let us examine some of his
speech on that subject and see
W hetheT or not he is in favor of sound
money. In the campaign of 1891 when
Mr.. Mckinley was candidate for gov
ernor of Ohio and James +. Campbell
was his opponent, Mr.. Campbell an
nounced TO the voters Of Ohio that he
was ready to-" chance it, ON the free
coinage of silver Mr.. Mckinley re
ferred TO this in his answer and said:
My worthy opponent should not chance any
thing with a question of such vital and absorb
ing interest as the money of the world. Unlike
mt opponent. l will not ask you TO take any
chances on this question; l Will clearly and I'M
equivocally say TO you that my choice and inliu.
ence are in favor of the besi money that the in
genuify of man has devised The people are

ing, Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan, Mr.. Sewall
and the mem bers of their patty took
the train to Yonkers to catch the
steamer "Albany'' The party reached

returned to New York.
POUGHKEEPsIE, N. r., August IT,
It was l 20 when the steamer "Alba-
nv, reached here. Hundreds of peo-
pie we're gathered on the wharf, and
cheers were given as Bryan walked
over the gang plank. The crowd fol-
lowed him two blocks to the central
station, where he was surrounded on
the platform, and made little speech,
the first since his appearance at Madi-
son Square Garden. "We are going
west soon,'' he said, sand l am not
making any speeches just now. | hope,
on my return, l shall be able to see
you again; but I take this opportunity
to say am much gratified to know OF
the interest you are taking in the cam
paign. From reading the New York
papers one would suppose there was
no sentiment for free silver In this
state. but the great daily papers are
not able to suppress the sentiments OF
the masses of the people. (Cheers).
/ believe this campaign is character
ised by more intense feeling than any
other campaign in which we younger
men haye been engaged. l believe the
people are able and willing to act as
they believe.'

The Vaccination Commission.

New YORK, N. Y, August IA
London dispatch says: Inquiries made
in high circles tend to confirm the re-
port which was briefly cabled to the
United States few days since, that
the royal commission upon vaccination
has finally completed its reports. The
final decision of the commission will
be first submitted to the queen. and
will probably be printed in October OF
November. The commission is unanl-
nous in its decision against compulsory
vaccination, and for the transfer of the
control of vaccination from the boards
OF guardians to the sanitary authori-
ties; but q substantial minority is OF
the opinion that vaccination is not a
preventative Of smallpox. The find-
tngs of the commission are the result
Of eight years investigation.
