Mckinley and Lee.

We venture to suggest to the Hon.
William Mckinley that if Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee, Consul General Of the United
States at Havana. does order the
Maine or Marblehead within shoot
ing distance of Morro Castle, and the
Spanish officers proceed to take the
bait. the subsequent proceedings will
include the possible election OF Gen.
Lee t. the Presidency of the United
States in succession to the timid gen
tlemar who now holds that office.
Ii is by no means Improbable that
Gen. Lee viii be nominated in 1900. as
Gen. Grant was in 1868, by the Repub-
lican party itself There are many
men still living who have personal
knowledge of the fact that the first
Republican ballot ever cast by Gen.
Grant was his vote FOR Garfield in
1850. Up To 1868 his Democracy was
as impregnable as was Gen. Fitzhush
Lees prior TO 1896.
We address this warming to the
President personally, as a matter OF
courtesy. 1t is more particularly in
tended, however for the steady and
thoughtful eye OF the Hon. Marcus
