DEMOCRATIC PARTY,
VOICE OF OUR PRESS ON THE
LEADING ISSUES.
The Fat Fryers are at work for Ne
KinIsy-Repablican Candidates are All
Preparing for . Campaign Of Intrigue
and CORFU tlons

From the Chicago Chronicle: Wheth
er Mckinley kill Reed or Reed Kill NC
Kinley, It is nobody's gain. The re
publican party will find an appropri'
ate candidate.
Bill Chandler, New England support
er Of Tom Reeds candidacy, grows Wit
riolic In denunciation OF the methods
by which the Mckinley canvass is
urged forward. Fat is fried out OF
manufacturers In order TO give man
ufacturers' agent, Major Mckinley of
Ohio, q lease Of the white house. They
want him there. He will be useful to
them. Colonel Chambers objection is
not to use Of money from the manufac-
turers. He thinks that is proper. But
he wants the general electorate de-
bauched for the benefit of the repub-
lican nominee and not the debauch-
ment of the republican party in the
interest Of particular republican can
didate. He sees nothing wrong in the
whole proceeding except the use Of
money for Mckinley, whom he does not
want nominated.
The McKinleyites are now ready with
a counter charge. II Chandler is going
to show that they are using fat fried
from the manufacturers to aid their
agent for the presidential nomination,
then they wish to inquire whether the
railroad influence is at work in various
states where Mr.. Huntington has in
terests. One OF the journals that in
sists on McKinley's nomination throws
out the inquiry: Talking about cam
paign methods, how would it do to keep
an eye on Coils P. Huntington? What |
interest has he In the presidential cam
paign? What interest had he in the |
OF the Pacific railway |
committees Of the two houses Of con-
gress? Why are these committees par
tial to Mr.. Huntington and his scheme |
OF reorganization? Why are leading
senators and representatives, interest
ed In the anti-McKinley movement, in
close touch with Mr.. Huntington all
the time? Is Mr.. Huntington trying to
influence the election of delegates in
Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and CAL
Ifornia? Is 1t true that Mr.. Hunting
.on put up the money with which Pitt
kellogg made his fight against McKin-
ey in louisiana"
There was once a republican speak
II OF the house who himself proposed
% advance legislation and to take his
'ay, but, wishing to have a clean re-
publican conscience, he asserted that
he would be no dead head in the enter
rise.
the probabilities are that both
and the McKinleyites are
1ght. Each accusing the other of
kullduggery and corruption is talking
rom knowledge. That which he is do
ng himself he considers a crime in
Is rival. The people have experienced
nough Of the republican party to
now that 1t Is without scruples in the
ouse OF the electorate, in the misuse
election machinery, in the unstinted
nblushing employment of corruption
