The Hon. II. II. Kohlsaat, Second High Boss
in the Mckinley camp and Second Big Con-
tributor to pay Mckinley's debts, and the Hon.
John =. Jones, senior silver Republican Senator
for Nevada, were the two great attractions In
the political line in New York yesterday. Mr..
kohlsaat made his headquarters at the Holland
House. Mr.. Jones was n; the Astor House.
Each Of them had u burden on his soul. 1t was
about Mr.. Mckinley, the ohio stradlle candi-
date of the Hon. Marcus Ashtahula Hanna and
his cUter!r Of manufacturers who helped to pay
Mrkinley's debts and who expect In return spc-
clRl Federal legislation of n high protective
order Tor their particular lines of goods.
All tlo week the town had been bombardcd
by the minor Mckinley bosses in an effort to
convince business men and nnanclers that Nc
Kinlcy IL all right on the money question.
There came Algrr. Hahn, aud Fairbanks. and,
like John sherman. they failed utterly In their
mission. John Sherman. when no came over
from Washington, declared upon his unfair
nished Ohio honor:
"MCKinley's sound on the money question,
and ! am responsible for the statement"
That's all right, senator said one Of his
friends. but who'll be responsible for your"
Senator sherman snOrtcd and replied:
"Some folks nre mighty fnrctious, Amt theyt"
So the question has gone the rounds. Who
will be responsible for .Alger, Hahn, Fairbanks.

Mr.. kohlsaat himself thought II advisable to
hurry on to New YORK and take up the Cudgcls for
Mckinley. He pranccd around town yesterday in
his efforts to convince all conditions Of moneycd
men that Mckinley Is all right on the money
question. Even though he is - Second High Boss
to Chief Boss Hanna. Mr.. kOhlsaat's assurances
were not accepted. any more than were those of
Alger. Hahn. Fairbanks. and the Others. The
fact is known fl New \ ork that MIR. Hanna has
sent pamphlets to the silver states containing
speeches in advocacy of FREQ silver. This was
the stumbling block in the pathway of Sher-

The actual TACT Is. according to the very best
Information. that the Mex inley bosses are
Thoroughly alarmed, and that they see the re-
suits of the silent worn Of three years Crumb-
ling before the scrutiny "f the country. When
his managers are not trying 20 make him out a
gold standard man here they are saying.
-" We are delighted with tho CRITICISMS of New
Workers on McKinley's record. We are de-
lighted that the ucwsp pa pcrs have recorded tho
