be anti-Mckinley delegates, and large
number of these will be for Reed. While
the 'hurrah' sentiment seems TO be for
Mckinley, it is votes that We are after.

judgment of the convention that viii

quite willing that the other fellows
should make as much noise as they
please"
What about the situation in your own
state OF Illinois?" Mr.. Aldrich was ask

well, we have elected eighteen dele
gates in the state thus far, of whom four
teen are for Cullom and four for Nc
Kinley. Cullom will have the large
share of the delegates from Illinois; Of

Senator John H. Gear, of Iowa. said
that Allison's friends were not disturb
ed by the Mckinley talk of having sec
ond choice delegates in Iowa. The
Republicans Of Iowa have no second
choice" he said. They are for ALI
SON. We might as truthfully and with
as good grace claim that Allison is the
second choice of the Ohio man"
Another Senator remarked: at looks
to me as though the Mckinley manag-
ers were trying TO demonstrate that
Zach Chambers caution against hunt
ing ducks with a brass band was not
correct. They might be all right Il
they did not use the band where there
are no ducks. 1t is not good policy or
good business to claim anything cock
sure until you get it. But the Nc
Kinley men have been claiming ever
thing so long that IT Is surprising to see
them boasting when they get a dis
trict just as though it had not been
counted by them long before.
Il am glad TO know that the conven-
ton in Cullom's home district has been
held. The Mckinley men have been
carrying the country on this district for
the last four weeks. Every time
town caucus or a country convention in
that district was held the Mckinley
men would publish TO the world that
they had carried Cullom's district As
I recollect it, the press has reported Nc
Kinley as carrying Cullom's district no
less than six times. But ii seems to be
about as difficult to carry Cullom's dis
trict as it is to kill the traditional cat
with nine lives. 1t won't stay carried,
and now that the convention has been
held it is a surprise to see the announce
ment that Mckinley has carried Gull
Ions district, but that the convention
selected two of Senator Cullom's most
trusted lieutenant for delegates, and
indorsed both Mckinley and Cullom in
the resolutions. This noise the McKin-
ley men have been making over Gull
Ions district has not helped them. 1t
has not hurt Cullom. Tt shows that
there has been more brass bands than
anything else about the effort to beat
Cullom at home. They will find thai
they have discredfted their own work
by their extravagant claims. And they
have shown that it called for mighty
effort to carry Cullom's district-an eff
fort that. if made in any one Of half a
dozen Ohio districts. would have en-
abled Cullom to return Roland for Nc
Kinley's Oliver.
at is notorious that Mckinley has
enemies at home, and that he has not
lass than a dozen delegates Of whom
Mark Hanna is very much afraid. II is
also notorious that there are four or
five districts in Ohio that would have
given their delegates to Reed or any
other man than Mckinley if they had
had any encouragement. But the old
scandal of Ohio's treachery to her presi-
Dental candidate has become a stencil |

such treachery, prevented break in |
Ohio this year. We all want to see Ohio |

1884 and 1892 repeated.
Now I hope the Mckinley men and |
the Mckinley press will stop shouting |
about having carried Cullom's district. |
They have made themselves ridiculous
and have certainly complimented Cul- |
lom by the fear they have shown of his |
In fact they have given |
Cullom more attention than any other |
candidate and have demonstrated that |

Illinois and his home district Cullom |

could have wfthstood this assault as
well and come off the field as little dis
figured he has Senator Cullom."
