CANTON, o., March 14.-Gov. Nc
Kinley, the leading republican
candidates for president, broke the
sphinx-like silence he has held for
many months when the general
public criticism of his position on
silver was repeated to him. He
was told that "sound money" re-
publicans complained that the
Ohio platform, which he was sup.
posed to have written, was too IA
vorable to silver, while the silver
senators all said it was too favor
able to the single gold standard.
Gov. Mckinley was told that there
was a universal demand to know
where he really stood. He replied {:
81 have discussed the question
of currency and coinage in con-
gress, and my record is plain.
Vice-President Stevenson once said
the people were willing to chance
free and unlimited silver coinage,
and l responded that the people
were not prepared to indulge in
any such speculation.
"You will find that in the rec
ords OF congress, | said in 1890 that
we should preserve gold and silver
moneys side by side, that | did not
want gold at a preium or silver at
a discount, or vice versa, but that
| wanted both metals to be equal
in purchasing power, and in legal
tender quality, equal in power to
perform the functions OF money
with which to do the business and
move the commerce Of the United
States. My exact views are these
and Gov. Mckinley read from the
Congressional Record:
sit is only because Of the SAFE
and conservative financial policy
OF the republican party, aided by
conservative men of both parties
which has more than once re
ceived the approval OF the country

Ex-Gov. William Mckinley was
apparently we'll satisfied with the
national republican situation to-
day, for he was in high spirits. The
ex-governor lives in a two.story
frame house on a west side street,
known as West Tuscarawas. The
house sits back in a capacious yard
and is characterized by gables and
porticoes and windows which open
clear to the floor. In his Office
Major Mckinley has two roller-top
desks, revolving bookcases, and
two busy secretaries, Messrs. Boyle
and Smith. When informed that
az interview on the financial ques'
ton was desired, the Napoleon Of
the republican party saidl ~ am

Prince Albert, behind the over
hanging eyebrows and at the cor
ners of the determined mouth
could be detected a suggestion of

in response to the correspondents
inquiry as to the Ohio platform
that he made the foregoing decla-
ration.
"To what do you attribute the
poverty Of the people now? Is
there sufficient money in circula-
tion?" he was asked.

One of his private secretaries

Pleasant Visit.

During recent trip to the city OF Atlanta,
the editor of the Press and Banner had the
pleasure Of visiting the Office OF the Atlanta
Evening Journal. We found Editor Horton
at home, and was met with Kindness and cor
diality from the editorial brethren. We were
shown through the office, and found IL, like
the paper that comes from 1t, model in all
the excellencies that 60 10 perfect first class
Office. The Journal is conducted on a high
plane, and feeling conscious OF their own
high position the editors have no jealousies
of the little country papers, all of whom that
office treats with kindness and courtesy. The
fact is. we believe that it is the policy OF the
Georgia dailies to treat their brethren III the
country with consideration.
If we are to judge by the number of copies
taken at Abbeville, the Atlanta Evening
Journal is more popular with our peo-
pie than any other paper. The general
makeup of the paper Is most attractive. The
ability displayed in the headings is distinc-
tive feature, which makes the paper interest
Ing even TO people who are not familiar with
the local makeup OF the city. The mer: Ia
our Office always want 10 borrow the Journal.
That paper which has no jea.0usies of US,
and which has no envies to vent, thus speaks
pleasantly Of the Press and Banner:
"Editor Hugh Wilson, OF the Abbeville Press
and Banner, came over from Soutn carolina
last night and is at the ktmball. Mr; wilson
con6ucts what is generally regarded In the
Palmetto State as model weekly newspaper.
He is a Journalist with ideas and energy and
lis, therefore. perfectly at home in Atlanta,
where his friends are many"

Why This Unseemly Conduct -
There ANYTHING Wrong.


This newspaper does not understand the
reason for the ardor with which Superintend-
ent Neal is so ably defended. nor do we know
why Director Willoughby is so numerically
assailed.
Neither do we know why it, should be pro-
posed TO change the place OF conducting the
examination by the committee. Is 1t be-
cause OF fear that the convicts or the officers
under Superintendent Neal may be called
upon to testify?
Although it now appears that Neal will be
able 10 defend himself from even the sem
bance Of wrong-doing, yet viewed at this
distance and seen In the light OF existing cir
cumstances, we fear that there is something
wrong.
Why bring out the great cordialtty existing
between Neal and the Directors? Why
should the presentation of walking sticks fig
ure In this matters? Why the excessive zeal
of the newspapers to defend Neal?
We are satisfied that Neal will come out OF
this accusation without the smell Of fire on
his garments, but now, really and truly, the
conduct OF this whole business-the accusa-
tion and the defense-leads US to believe that
somebody fears that dynamite will be found
in some unexpected place, II that committee
keeps on digging up the earth In the neigh
borhood Of the penitentiary.
No man, whose record is right. need fear In!
vestigat.op, and as far as we have observed
Neal has behaved we'll, but to our mind there
is, as certain as the world stands, something
connected with this matter which 1t is not de-
sirable to ventillate, or else We are not able TO
interpret the zeal with which Willoughby is
prosecuted. We would wager the world that
there is something wrong, or else why such
unseemly efforts to conceal and cover ups
Why such efforts to stamp Willoughby out of
existence?
