sist upon getting cards OF admission "
such favors were being bestowed, but all
were refused. with the explapauon that
tickets were not necessary and tnat only
g limited number would be issued to
newspape men, prominent Democrats In
vited on the platform, and certain classes
OF persons officially connected with the
party management and organization.
The following letter, copy Of which
was sent to the paper to which 1t is adj
dressed. explains just what tickets are
out, and If there are any others in ex-
istence. they are not authorized and Will
not be recognized:
Hdquarters City Democratic Committee,
Richmond. Va, September IL, 1896
To the Editor of the Times:
The statement In your paper to-day
about reserve seats on the floor OF the
Auditorium and headed Some Surprise
Tickets" is so misleading that We beg
that you will allow US 10 correct IL. Find
ing IL necessary In consequence or the
immense crowd expecting to visit Rich
mond on the night of the 18th instant
10 make some special provision for those
who could not be accommodated on the
stage, and yet who were entitled to
special recognition on the occasion, the
City Committee ordered 500 extra tickets
to be printed. and these were directed
by the committee having the matter In
charge to be distributed as follows;
Seventy-five tickets for members of the
press. l25 for city and county chairfnen,
175 for presidents Of visiting Democratic
clubs. and the remaining tickets TO be
distributed equally among the members
of the City Committee. l am sure that
no one can take any exception TO the
desire of the City Committee to hos
pitabiy entertain the representatives or
the Democratic party who shall assemble
here on the occasion or Mr.. Bryan
meeting; certainly no citizen or Richmond
can object to the reservation OF so small
a number OF seats for such purpose.
for whilst IL is true that the holders
of these tickets will secure good seats.
and ought To do so, IT Is not true, as
stated In your article that those VINO
are not fortunate enough TO obtain one
will be forced to sit under the low gas
leries. where II. is difficult TO catch what
Is said by the speaker on the stage.
SO far from this being true, there are
over 1000 seats which are unreserved.
and can be used by those who shall nrst
come to take them. We very mucn
regret thar you should have Thought
proper to have so misrepresented the
committee without asking an explanation
from some officer who could have given III
TO you. particularly since we have en-
deavored to extend to the Times every
courtesy by furnishing them as many
tickets ais they had asked for, Tor their
own use both at the table set apart Ior
the press and OF the reserved seats on the
stage. Respectfully ,o,,,,r,rr,r

They tell you that you cannot legislate
two metals together. because OF their
varying production. but they forget that

take all the gold at a certain price, and
all the silver at certain price. and con-
vert those two metals into money at that
price and ratio. 1t becomes immaterial
whether you produce one ounce Of one

Mark Hanna's Chance.

II the facts are as Major Handy re-
lates, we don't wonder that he calls
for new deal at Republican national
headquarters and intimates that the
victorious Mckinley organization will
not rest content until 1t shall be per-
fected. I'm the last campaign" says
he, II have understood about $4,000, 900
was collected, with nothing to show for
the expenditure except defeated cam
didate and a bankrupt treasury. Think
Of throwing away $4,000 ut a clip for the
purchase of the polling-list of a single
state, when anybody could have made
q copy Of the list by putting a few type
writers at work. Think Of st. Louis
being maced to the amount of SOS, 900 as
the price of being the seat of the next
convention. No doubt the money was
owed to somebody and should have been
paid. but with good management there
should have been no such outstanding

duct its business on business principles

done with the money intrusted to 1t.
The example set by Senator Quay this
year as chairman of the Pennsylvania
state committee in submitting vouchers
and throwing open all campaign ac-
counts to the public inspection is a good
one to Introduce to the notice of the next
national chairman. If he shall be Mark
Hanna, as now seems probable, We shall
expect not only brilliant but also
an honest and economical administra-
tion of the finances of the campaign.
The spending of much money for legiti-
mate expenses has come to be regarded
in recent years as necessary. but the
campaign of 1896 promises to be excep-
tional in more ways than one. The
people can be trusted to elect Mckinley
without the need of expensive political
organizations to inform public opinion
and get out the vote.
