CAPS THE CLIMAX.
a special 10 a morning paper from
Cleveland. o.. published to-day caps the
climax Of the Republican efforts Ia this
s.rection. il SAYS that a gentleman, VINO
,s closely allied 10 the administration
who was then In Cleveland, but who
.e0uld not permit the use OF his name,
announced Io4itively that the strength OF
tr sold wing Of the Democrats"
,lry would be thrown for Mckinley;
and. when pres ed for his reason for say
ire so. made this remarkable state
ment.

THE PRESIDENTS POSITION.
AS has been stated before in this cor
respondeuce. the Presidents views on
th. financial and Other clauses Of the
Chicago platform are we'll known as
ls also his position on the tariff; but that
either Mr. Cleveland or any OF his as
f0ciates would be I'm communication with
Mark Hanna, or that they would advise
nrr Democrat 20 vote the Republican
tcke.. Is absurd. II IS rot likely that the
President. OF any member of his cabinet
wi. publicly give any advice 20 Democrats
as 10 how they should vote in the pend
ius campaign.
