Horace Greeley gave you sound adj

MCKINLEY TO wANAMAKER.
Tells tho Merchant He Is Not q
Good Republican,.


Philadelphia, june 3.-Former Postmaster
General John Wanamaker met Presiden Mt
Mckinley at the opening OF the Interna-
tional Commercial Congress here for the
first time since the merchant made his
speech in which he handled the Admin
istfaiion harshly because good times had
not returned according to the PROMISES
made curing the campaign last November.
The President was the first to the at
tack, and he charged Wanamaker with
endeayoring TO SOW the seeds of discord
In the party. Then the heads OF Mckinley
and Wanamaker were bent pretty close
together I'm an earnest conversation Sud
denly Wananaker remarked: Yes; but
we are all good Republicans
"I am not so sure OF that, Wanamaker,' .
sharply retorted the President but with
good hunnored sarcasm. II have read your
speech.
Just then Mayor Warwick stepped up
TO stop the argument, and he put In: ''oh.
yes; certain we are all good Republicans "
THIS was re-echoed by the gentlemen
present in the private room OF the museum
secretary, and what was about to be a
lively, although good-natured, scene was
nipped in the bud. The President then
took the former Postmaster Generals arm
and the two moved off thrOughthe museum
building There was a sigh of relief and
the incident was the theme of CONVERSE
