FORAKER IS CRANKY.
Gives snappish Replies to Inquiries
About Hanna.

Columbus, O., Nov. S.-A special to
the Ohio State Journal from Cincin-
natl. says: 1t was reported in local
political circles yesterday that Hon
Charles i. Kurtz had quietly dropped
into the city during the afternoon and
was in close conference with Senator
Foraker, his chief. on the absorbing
senatorial question.
The report had it that the senator
and Kurtz had carefully surveyed the
situation and had reached an under
standing. favorable TO Mr. Hanna
Senator Foraker, when asked about the
alleged meeting with kurtZ. said:
L regard your inquiry as very i'm
pertinent. and further, as to our re-
ported meeting, that is none of your
business"
1t was evident the senator misunder-
stood the motive of the inquiry and
he was assured that no discourtesv
was intended, but as the matter had
been talked Of. the State Journal was
DESTROYS Of either confirming or fatty
denying the stories. After this eX-
PLANTATION Senator Foraker said he had
not seen Mr.. Kurtz for over a week.
He said further, L am becoming
tired Of having my name dragged into
every controversy over the senatorial
question. ] worked faithfully in the
last campaign and if the majorities
were not larger it was no fault of
mine. / do not expect to take part in
the affair: but unless my name is kept
out of the whole thing. l shall go into
it and make certain people know l am
around"
WITH MENTAL RESERVATION.
Cincinnati, O., Nov S.-Senator
Foraker leaves for Washington to-
night. In an interview he said: THE
campaign of 1897 ended with me last
Tuesday. So long as we are fighting
The common enemy gave all my time
and strength to the cause. I supposed
a Republican legislature meant the
election of Senator Hanna, and not
withstanding what I see in the news
papers, 1 still think So But if there
should be a contest among the Re
publicans I would not have anything
to do with it unless something unfore-
seen should occur to change my mind"

A GOLDEN FLY"

Occasionally, among Democrats, the
question is asked is there not gold
en- fly in the silver ointment of the
elections?" Tammany's great victory,
the carrying of New York and the big
gains in New jersey, indicate Demo-
cratic senators from those states in
1899. Maryland-although lost this
years. plainly veering back to her
ancient Democratic moorings, and
Delaware is in line already with full
line Of Democratic state officers and a
Democratic senator.
Does this mean that there viii again
be a powerful eastern Democracy de-
nlanding recognition at the national
convention of 1900? If so. what will
the views of these delegations be upon
the priority of the silver question over
other issues now pending or that may
raise to attract the attention of poliu-
cal parties in the year that closes the
centur-?
PLATFORM WILL STAND
These and kindred inquiries are now
current among leading Democratic
politicians. The answer is however,
almost universally made that there is
no probability that a serious effort win
be made to alter the platform materi-
ally in 1900. and 40 well-grounded
hope Of success Of such an effort is
undertaken. Undoubtedly there will
continue to exist within the Demo-
cratic party a considerable gold
standard sentiment, but it viii be con-
fined to Democrats like those of Tam
many hail and Maryland, who will
prove thoroughly loyal to the national
declarations of the party and when
not in full harmony with them will
make their campaigns on local issues,
as Tammany did in New York last
week

Washington, Nov The late cleo
tons throughout the country have sent
a genuine chill down the spinal
columns of the leaders OF the admins
tration here, and practically all hope
is abandoned that the president can
secure a congress that will be agree
able to the passage of the currency
legislation that has been anticipated
at the coming session. Neither is there
anything in the returns to give the
slightest encouragement for the cleo
tons Of 1898 or for the presidential cam
paiSn of 1900. 1t is pointed out that
in New York, New jersey, Ohio and
Iowa alone, enough votes We're changed
to have more than wiped out the
recorded Mckinley pluralities OF 1886.
