It seems, from an interview with Mr.
that his former faith in the workngman
has been much disturbed. He states that
his party made just such a platform as the
alleged representatives of labor asked.
Nothing was left out, and Mr.. Mclean ex-
pected the entire labor vote of Ohio Mayor
Jones came along without any platform
and the labor vote went to him. Mr. Nc
Lean seems not to understand the matter
The men who go to party conventions with
declarations for platforms do not represent
the mass of workingmen in the country
who care very little for theories and less
for assumed leaders when ii comes to vot-
ing. If there had not been a general pro-
test in Cincinnati against the Republican
boss, Mr.. Cox, it is not sprobable that
Mayor Jones would have received half the
votes he did. The same is true of Cleveland
A protracted strike and attempted boycott
had just ended. in which Jones had sympa-
thized, in the defeat of those hostile to the
street-railway company. McKisson, who
had been an unsatisfactory mayor under

feated in the spring by Republicans voting
against him. He turned all of his influence
for Jones, because he could not help Nc
Lean. 1t was not the labor vote which
made Jones's plurality in Cleveland. The
Leader says some of his heaviest precincts
were in the wealthy wards of the city. If
labor generally had voted for Me --or Jones.
his vote would have been large in all OF
the manufacturing towns, but it was not.
which forces the conclusion that the po-
litical conditions in the two large cities
were much more responsible for the large
vote of Jones than a general following of
that element up and down the State. AS a
rule the workingman is pretty sturdy
party man. Thousands changed parties I'm
1894 because of the Wilson tariff, and many
continued with the Republicans on the sill

prosperity which came with Mckinley and
the risk of Bryanism, a large part of the
labor of the country is with the Republican

A KANSAS "REMINISCENCES.

During the recent campaign the editor of
Kansas paper found a Bryan banner
which had been carried in many professions
during the year 1896, which bore the follow
ing inscriptions:
A vote. for Mckinley means more tramps.
McKinley's election means
Ten-cent corn.
Twenty-Five cent wheat.
Eight cent oats.
One dollar per ton for hay.
Five cents per pound for butter.
Three cents dozen for eggs.
TwO-cent hogs.
One and one-half cent for fat cattle.
No money TO carry on business.
Corn to-day is worth 20 cents i'm Kansas
and from 90 TO 32 cents in Indiana. There
has not been much change in the price of
wheat, but the price is far above 25 cents.
Oats are worth "a to &c cents in Indiana
Hay ranges from $40 to $11.5O here and must
be worth So or So in Kansas. Choice butter
wholesale, is quoted at IA cents but those
who get a good article at retail pay from
II 10 % cents. Eggs are II cents, hogs sf.O4
TO %071s a hundred, and prime steers s.. 75
to $3.50 hundred. AS for money, the rates
of interest have never been so low; it can
be obtained on security which would not
have been regarded as good in 1896. and is
in ample supply at the present time.

made such predictions in 1896 would retire
