MCKINLEY.


referred to the amazing manner IN
which Major Mckinley is gatherlngln
the presidential delegates. There APP
pears to be no let up in his boom, and
during the past week pretty nearly all
the delegates chosen from the South
ern and Northwestern States have been
Mckinley men. One of the most I'M
portant events is the combination OF
the Mckinley forces with the Mander-
son men. Senator Henderson, who is
himselfa candidate for the presidency,
promises to turn over to Mckinley the
Nebraska delegates and all others
whom he may be able to control. In
return for this, the Mckinley people
bind themselves to present the name
of General Henderson to the st. Louis
convention and give him their support
if it becomes apparent at any time that
Mckinley cannot be nominated. The
Mckinley forces have also invaded
PENNSYLVANIA, which Quay had re-
served for his own use, and New York,
where Governor Morton expects the
delegates.
The apparent success of Mr.. Me-
Kiuley is causing considerable anx-
iety to the other presidential aspir-
ants, and they are beginning to realize
that they must check his progress IN
some way. The field will probably
combine against him. Uncle Levi
Morton is greatly outraged that Nc
Kinley should dare to capture New
York delegates from under his very
nose. while Quay will lose no oPPor-
tunity to teach him to keep out OF his
Pennsylvania preserves. Speaker Reed,
who is devoting his time to keeping
the party straight in Congress, thinks
the Ohio man is taking unfair advan-
tage of the situation, and the friends
Of ex, President Harrison show consid-
cradle jealousy at the present popu-
laritv of the apostle of protection.
The strength of Mr. Mckinley may
prove to be disastrous to him. If he
proves to be too hard for the other as
pirants to defeat singly he may have
them to combine against him. Adj
vertising his success to his friends will
also put his enemies on guard. His
alliance with the West may array
against him the East.
Senator Chandler has recently sPo-
ken very plainly concerning the meth
DDS OF campaigning INDUCED in by Mr..
McKinleys friends. 1t appears that
they have been frying the fat from
the PENNSYLVANIA manufacturers, who
cheerfuIIy contributed $250,0OO, it is
said, to help along the cause of the
prince Of protectionlsts.
Take it all in all, the present race
for the Republican nomination will be
the prettiest thing in politics for years
SECRETARY MORTON, Of the Agr,
