CINCINNATI. July 14.-President M.
e. ingalls, of the Big Four and Chesa-
peake and Ohio railways has returned
from the east and is out In an interview
saying:
Much as regret 1t shall support Nc
Kinley, for I believe in his election lies
the only hope Of the future Of this coun-
try"
Mr.. ingalls, is one of the leading Demo-
Gratis of the state. He drew up the state
platform Of the Democratic state con-
vention last year when Senator Brice
was chairman of the convention. Mel
ther he nor Brice attended the state
convention this year. Mr.. ingalls, de-
nounces the platform for rejecting upon
the supreme court and for violating con-
tracts payable in gold in the future. as
well as for it's free coinage plank.
HARRITY's POSITION.
CHICAGO, July 14.-Among the nu-
merous stories that have found curren-
cy since the adjournment Of the Demo-
cratic convention is one to the effect that
the nomination for the vice presidency
was within the reach Of William E. Har-
rity of Pennsylvania. 1t is authorita-
lively stated that prominent free silver
leaders declared-some of them to Mr..
Harrity himself-that If he were willing
to stand upon the platform adopted he
would receive their support for the vice
presidency and be nominated. Mr.
Harrity promptly advised them that It
would not be safe for them to nominate
him. He received twenty-one votes
from Connecticut, Delaware. Maryland,
Rhode Island and South Dakota, and
he might, in addition, have easily had
the sixty-four votes from Pennsylvania
had he not insisted that the Pennsylva-
MIA delegation should not vote for him.
NO SURRENDER.
PHILADELPHIA, July 14.-William
A. Harrity returned from Chicago to-
day and was at his desk in the office Of
the Equitable Trust company, of which
he is president. Mr.. Harrity was not
disposed to express himself regarding
the Democratic platform or candidates.
He did, however make the following
statement:
"Since my return to Philadelphia my
attention has been called to a report
sent out from Chicago during the con-
vention to the effect that had declared
that I am Democrat, and after that
am a sound money man. There is no
foundation whatever for such a state
ment. 1t is a pure invention, and the
editorials based upon it which appeared
in some of the Philadelphia, Boston and
New York papers are both unjust and
unwarranted. I am a Democrat and a
sound money man, too. Not afterwards,
but at the same time, and I shall do
nothing whatever during the coming
campaign that can possibly be regarded
as surrender of my convictions upon
the currency question or upon any other
vital question"
WILL ALL COME BACK.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, July 4.-Arthur
Sewall of Maine, the Democratic nomi-
nee for vice president. passed through
Syracuse today. He was asked: What
do you think of the action Of the Dem
ccratic papers in the east boiling the
recently adopted platform at Chicago?"
"Oh," said Mr.. Sewall. "they will all
come back into the fold. In the west the
people are enthusiastic over the ticket
Mr.. Bryan is very strong man. When
he comes east he will endeavor to con-
vert the gold men. I have no doubt but
that when he presents his views clearly
before the people in the east they will
be won over to his side. The convention
was exciting"
