AGREE on A STORY.

The correspondents Of the anii-Mckinley
Democratic press should get together We were
entirely prepared to accept their statements
that convention which II was conceded was
going to nominate Mckinley on the first bal
lot was for the most part made up of men VINO
were doing all they could Ia defeat him. and
that their greatest pleasure in life was to cheer
the man who had most bitterly denounced him.
We were even prepared to let pass without
question the statement of the Congressman who
yesterday tclcgraphed that not those who had
supported Mckinley, but those who had OPP
posed him. must he his reliance hereafter. and
that Mr.. Plat and Mr.. Lodge were the very
two from whose devotion, when he is nom
mated. Governor Mckinley will have the most
ito expect" We could even believe that Mr..
Plat. after all his talk about his being jusl-
fled In boiling, had become the great paccator
and prcvcntcr Of bolts In others. and to accept
the same reporters statement that the silver
"men notify Plat they won't bolt provided
there Is fair discussion of their substitute"
In fact. almost anything that comes by telc-
graph might he believed that Plat was the
original Mckinley man: that it at his re-
quest that the anti-machine contestants from
this city were admitted to the Conventions: that
but for him Teller would be named for second

everything I'm fact II only the reporters would
agree on their stories.
But first comes Mr.. James Crcelman who
describes Mr.. Falrbanis's opening address at
length, and says he declared that the true
cause of the present monetary disrnst was an
"insolycnt National Treasury. the direct result
"of the Mckinley law -Four times he spoke
"Mr. Mckinley's name, and each time the audi

CrecImans making Mr.. Fairbanks say that the
Insolvency was the direct result OF the McKin-
ley law, remark which the text OF the speech
does not contain, attention il concentrated on
the fact that four times was McKinley's name

measure TO the tariff, but to uncertainty on the
! moner question Hence their unusual Interest
in the Republican nomination. 1t Is FOR the'r
o,cn vndcaton that they have been seeking 10
divort attention from the tariff TO the money
issue
Since the nomination Of Mckinley has come
to he assured. these same Democratic ana Mug
,vnnn newsuapers have manifested the most
/ i,,onso interest in the SUCCESS of Mr.. Platt at
81 Louis. Whenever anything has hapleheu

be construed rs favorable to Platt anythihs

Ouigc's theory that Mr.. Platt is 1.-THE Kepup-
Iicon master of the State" all these journals
have paraded it in full with staring headlines
and every manifestation of delight. Wi'hou,
execution they have magnfed Mr. Platts inl-
nortance. and set forth in the most glowing
terms the statement that, though failing in his
effort to defeat Mckinley he had already
achieved a great victory in the construction OF
the platform, and that he would undoubtedly
score another in the nomination of Governor
Morton for VicePresident. These trlumphs
would give him the position claimed for him
by Mr. Quigs las the Republican master OF the
State" This would seem trihe queer TO any
one VINO Stops 10 COusluSi 'hie IL -'A'' $500 -
established in that position he will be. II he Is
an honest man or upright politician, the stead
fast and determined opponent Of the party ana
the cause which these newspapers represent
WHY should they be so anxious to have fla't
set ND US the leader Of their opponents; as tine
Republican master OF the State!
Here is the answer given in a moment OF
candor by the journal which employs Lemuei
Ely Oulgg us its correspondent ut ST. LOUIS
and which prints that statesmans merry fui-
limitations under the large headline. "Quisg
Says" IT il "Ihc New-1orR "o''u WHY"
says:
The action of the New-York delegation at 81
Louis settles the question OF the Republican cam
palgn in this State. 1t will be Platt campaign

Plat Republicans will not even he allowed II

Raines law IL would be a mere walkover Tor a
| sound money Democrat To carry the state Tor me
Presidency and to carry everything along with
the Presidential ticket
That's what's the matter They did not want
Mckinley nominated in the first instance.
Failing in the effort to defeat him. they do want
above ali things, that Platt should be THE Re
publican master of the state and In tina; ca
paclty should manage the State campaign.
Well, they know their business. The next ques-
ton is DO the Republicans OF this state know
theirs?

THE REASON WHY,

There's a reason for almost everything. II one
only waits long enough for it to appear. There's
a reason why all our city Democratic and Mug
wump contemporaries have been so profoundly
exercised for the last two or three months over
the Republican nomination for President. At
first blush It would appear strange that they
were so racked with anxiety lest the Repub-
leans might make n mistake fatal to their
own success by the nomination of Mr.. McKin-
ley The reason for their socltude on that
score was not, however, so far to seek. For
Mckinley represents as the dominant issue be-
fore the people the principle of a Protective
tariff. His nomination will mean that the great
body Of voters trace the causes Of the existing
business depression and financial disturbance
to the repeal Of the tariff of 1890, and the en-
actment Of nondescript measure In its stead
which Is neither Protection nor Free Trade and
has failed to produce revenue sufficient To meet
current expenditures. The Democratic and
Mugwump press have persstently contended
that the present trouble was not due In any

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S APPEAL.

President Cleveland has uttered his farewell
appeal to the party which has twice elected
him President but each time has refused To
sustain him. II is q farewell because the lin
gering hope, which he puts as n desperate be
lief, that the Democratic Convention Will not
declare for free silver coinage Is plainly doomed
TO disappointment He warns the party that
this policy, after its thorough discussion dur
Ing a political campaign" will not attract n
majority. He sees, as bis party does not, that
the desired fusion Of Democrats, POpullsts and
silver boilers would be overwhelmingly beaten
Already he has found reason to declare it the
duty Of sound-mOney Democrats. If their party
declares for free silver. TO make the result de
cisive by voting straight for Mckinley on Il
soundmoney platform. But last call he
sadly beseeches his party not To destroy itself
by any such alliance.
Possibly the President really hopes that
words from him can arrest the torrent that Is
now rushing TO its Niagara, but 1t is doubtful
II anything he or other sound-mOney Democrats
can say or do will arrest the swift dOwnrush
or "debacle" Of the Democratic party. Its ma
jorlty will vote for free silver gladly and pas
sionately, even thankful~to be divorced hence
forth from restraining but detesled Wall Street
influence. The men who have been taught for
thirty years that Republican honest money
| and Protection were robbng them and that
cheap money was the short cut TO riches will
| go all the more swiftly for the desparing ap-
| peal of the President. With them will 90 the
| men whose hatred of Protection outweighs
