mr"t Strongly FGuOrs Him.
CANTON. OHIO. Feb. 7.-Major McKin-
ley attended church this morning. Sena
tor Perkins, secretary of the Nation al
Committee, who has charge of the perma-
nent headquarters in Washington, arrived
in Canton tonight. He came by way of
Cleveland, where he had long interview
with Mr.. Hanna about the work and plans
of the committee. Mr.. Perkins said:
THE sentiment In favor of the appoint
ment of Mr.. Hanna to the Senate of the
United States is very strong in Washing
ton and seems to be national in scope, for
o Is expressed and echoed daily by pub
llcations from all parts OF the country.
The Republicans who come here think
Mr. Hanna's services to the country and
to the party, which were freely given and
without thought of reward, are deserving
of substantial recognition, and that the
people of Ohio could hardly do less than
to send him TO the Senate"
Mr.. Hanna's friends in Cleveland are
pretty open in the assertion that he will
not accept Cabinet portfolio. 1t devel-
ops here from talks with prominent men
who have visited Major Mckinley re-
Gently that he does not expect TO make
any appointments to the diplomatic and
consular service un til the extra session is
well under way. His notion is that the
business OF the country ought to be at
tended to before the work of apportioning
the patronage is taken up.

by the Democrats through Esome form OF
compromise. favor a plan that cannot be
aHect by these changes. You favor plan
that would enable the Democrats to absorb
Populists and pave the way for a union OF the
two wings OF Democracy. leaving the future OF
reform but forlorn hope.I favor plan that
would force the Democrats to our positions
rather than TO recede from theirs. You favor
a plan th at would wreck and ruin the reform
papers OF the land. l favor a plan that would
preserve and prosper them.
Should other questions absorb the attention
OF the people, should the Republicans Sc
cure an tnterna tional agreement, it would
leave the silver forces stranded without any
issue, and afford them an excuse for backslid-
Ing. The issues favor are the ones that will
command the attention of the people during
the next four years. Why attempt to force
one issue when the people will discuss the
othersT This move on the part OF the Popu-
lists Will place our party at the head of the
column OF reform, with the Democrats pro-
tecting the rear. Our defense of the green
backs will add thousands of voters to our
ranks
The radicals of to-day are the conservatives
of tomorrow. If we educate the people be-
tween elections on scientific money, metal
money will become the conservative measure
OF the future, until the invariabIe paper dollar

fba 0emocr0eU

BOSTON, MASS, Feb. AT a meeting
of the state Central Committee of the
Peoples Party of Massachusetts, in Com
mercisl Hall Saturday, officers were
elected with George F. Washburn as
chairman. A resolution was adopted "af-
firming the National platform adopted at
ST. Louis and declining to recognize any
other authority as guide to our political
welfare" The following letter was given
out by Chairman Washburn:
Hon. J. A. Edmiston, Secretary National Com
naittee Peoples Party, Lincoln, Neb.-MY DEAR
SIR: 1 congratulate you your very able
letter. 1t is plausible and will do credit to any
lawyer with a witness, but you have not made
plain why two parties should force one issue,
nor have you reasoned away the actual dam
gers that threaten the life of our party and
reform press. do not favor the abandonment
of silver or any change in the platform, and
my appeal must not be construed to mean
that You do not discriminate between planks
and issues. Our platform contains many
plsnks. but the platform was fought on one is.
sue, though we did not abandon the other
planks. We made a subordinate plank the
issue, trusting TO win by an alliance. BY the
order of the platform scientific money comes
first.
We forced the Democrats to champion sill
yer, but we stand ready to defend it when
necessary. have received hundreds of let
ters coming from nearly every State in the
Union, representing every faction of the party
and including nearly every leader, and the
unanimous sentiment sustains my appeal
Your letter bears the distinction OF being the
only one opposed TO silver that the Rocky
Mount tain News has so far received.
While do not ascribe to you th g intention,
nevertheless your plan OF having an identical
issue with the Democrats would result in a
union OF the Populist lamb and III Tammany
tiger, but with the former inside the latter
While it was possible to unite during fight
ing campaign, 1T is not wise to continue the
union during the educational one. Your plan
would force us to follow the Democrats under
their banner when we should lead them under
our own. Your plan would humiliate our
brave people, while mine would inspire and
ennoble them.
You favor retaining subordinate plank as
the issue. favor making the main one, which
includes yours, the issue. You favor a plan
that would factioni re the party and divide the
West and South. 1 favor a plan that would
unite all factions and lead to victory. You
favor plan that would suppress our main
pla ks. favor plan that would open them
to discussion when the people want 10 talk
about them. You favor plan tn at would add
thousands of adherents to another party |
favor one that would add thousands of adhe-
.ents TO our own.
Fusion for a campaign may be politics, but
permanent fusion on identical issues means
absorption and disintegration for our party
Dsintegration from the same cause killed the
Greenback party. Why should We invite a
similar fate?
You favor an issue that may be abandoned
