Cincinnati. April 90. - Since last
Thursday there has been here a Sc
cret national meeting of the supreme
officers and national executive board

go; Supreme Treasurer NJ. L. Ryan,
Chicago; National Executive Commit
teeman Il. l.. Thompson, Omaha. and

Judge ]. H. d. Stevens of st. Louis,
chairman of the national advisory
committee and chairman of the pro-
paganda and campaign committee, is
sued a circular to-day to correct some
'misstatements in the press" the sub
stance of which is:
Ftrst-The hostility of the order to
Mckinley is not against the man but
against him for his antipathy to the
order, shown in his appointments
while governor.
Second-The order does not oppose
Mckinley in the personal interest OF
any other candidate. 1t fights no man
because of his religion.
Third-The order made every effort
consistent with manhood to reach Nc
Kinley without success.
FOurth-Congressman Grosvenor's
denial that he refused to see the A. z.
A. committee and that he virtually in
suited it is untrue.
Fifth-All statements of Congress
mar Linton's withdrawal from the
candidacy at st. Louis are unauthor-
lied and were sent out by enemies of
the a. p. A. to defeat it's aim.
SiXth-Mr. Linton is neither direct
ing any movement for his nomination
at st. Louis nor making a personal eff
fort in that direction. On the con-
trary the A. P. A.. recognizing him as
their leader, and knowing him to he
too good an American to refuse to do
what the patriotic citizens of this
country request of him, have taken
him as their. candidate before the st.
Louis convention. All statements OH
this matter not signed by members OF
the committee are Enthusiastically.
Seventh-Every statement made by
this board and committee about the
records of various candidates will be
in the form of a%fiiavitS.
