McKinley's election. The suffrage is

ginia and Maryland. These states
have, jointly, 125 electoral votes.
They expect to capture the thirty
nine votes OF New England and the
thirty-two Of Pennsylvania without a
serious effort, and the forty-six Of
New York and New Jersey, by reason.
able expenditure. The big fight will
be made in the nine states first mer
toned. The Republican managers be-
lieve that they are doubtful and at
this time disposed to favor Bryan.
The Republicans look upon Wiscon-
sin, also, as doubtful state, notwlth-
standing the fervid protestatiOns Of
Senator Villas and General Bragg.
Mr.. Hanna has served notice, it is
said, on the New Workers that he
must have S2O,OOO,0OO to insure Nc
Kinley's election. This money will
be contributed, to large extent, by
the money changers of New York.
The manufacturers are sulking. The
gold men insist upon the tariff Ques-
tion being kept in the rear. The
Republican managers seem to be
more sOlicitous of pleasing the boiling
gold Democrats and the garrulous
squad of free trade mugwumps than
their old friends and standbys, the
manufacturers. The latter are a
practical set OF people. They are not
in the habit of giving something for
nothing. They want good, safe, SUBJ
stantial returns on all their invest.
ments. They are afraid that in the
present condition of the Senate il
would be impossible to pass a tariff
bill that would be of any great benefit
to them during the four years of
McKinley's presidency.
Back of it all, the manufacturers
are not as enthusiastic for the single
gold standard as some Of their friends
and party associates. 1t required an
effort, in fact, to prevent a number of
big manufacturers from stampeding
TO free coinage before the national
conventions were held. While, of
course, all the manufacturers will
support Mckinley, they will not bear
the burden of the campaign as they
have been in the habit of doing.
They explain that they bore the ex-
pense Of nominating Mckinley and
that if the bankers had not insisted
upon putting him On gold standard
platform his election would be easy.
The bankers having captured Nc
Kinley, so to speak, they are now
invited by the manufactures to elect
him.
The bankers and big capitalists, l
am Informed, have made satisfactory
arrangements with Hanna. ]. Pier
pont Morgan will be one of the
managers Of the Republican caln-
paign. Hanna has appointed a finance
committee Of 139 members in New
York that jointly own or control

pressed when Hanna appointed a

but his New York performance
dwarfs that into insignifcance. A
well-informed friend of mine went
