ANXIOUS TO STRADDLE
CHICAGO, June 5.-The Daily News
washington special says: Gen. Gros-
venor and other close friends of McKin-
ley have given strong intimations dur
ing the last few days that the st. Louis
platform will be compromise on the
money question. Gen. Grosvenor be-

straddling platform would ALLEVIATE the

the tariff issue to the front in 1896. 'Wali |
