McKinley's own word for it that he
was in favor OF bimetallism, and to
clinch his statement added: ,"Mr.
Mckinley is as good bimetallist a. I
am" If that is true, Senator Chan.
der can hardly be good bimetallist,
Notwithstanding his constant claims
to be such. Senator Chandler at the
same time said that Mr.. Mckinley
told him that the international BIZ
metallism fake WAS not dead, and that
he intended to send the commission
to Europe again. A considerable
number of voters were probably fooled
in the Presidential campaign by that
international bimetallism plank of the
Republican platform, but Mr.. McKin-
ley must have lost much of the
political shrewdness with which he
has been credited if he believes it can
be used to fool them again.
So far as they can be seen, the re-

are not satisfactory to the advocates

WAS given that the treaty would be

until disposed of, its friends we're very
confident that votes enough we're in
sight to furnish the two thirds needed
for ratification, and it looked az though
their confidence was justified. Presto,
change, and ratification is again in
doubt, owing to the detection of
Senators who had been counted for it.
Among those who have changed and
come squarely out against ratification
are Senators Thurston, of Nebraska,
and Gear of Iowa, both OF whom claim
to have been Influenced by the sugar
beet industry of their States; and
Senators Wellington, of Maryland,

column. Unless Mr.. Mckinley can

bride them with patronage, into vot.

Midas, Just as irrcyercncc is Il charac-
teri>tc of those who have become ac-
custumCd to dominccr over their fell
low man. 1t cannot be claimed that
Hanna is oblivious to his own faults;
that his conscience has become so
scared by the hot blasts OF experience
as to no longer give prcmonition OF
right or wrong, for the voice OF the
people has been constantly raised IN
eXpostulation, and he must, if he has
ears, have heard the continual surge
OF the wave OF popular Indignation,
that has been dashed into fury by his
own infamous public acts.
Mark Hanna appears to the intclli-
gent masses as the impersonation OF
all that is selfish and venal, in private
life; as the elimination of all that is
despicablc in politics, and as the repre-
sentative of everything that is indie
cent and reprehensible in party man
agement. His message to the Presi-
dent, written under impulse, is a key
to individuality which affords a better
insight to his true nature than a whole
series of the carefully studied acts of
calculating demagogue.
