Mckinley A Man Of Putty.


Gen. John Beatty, prominent Ohio
Republican, and banker of Columbus,
says:
1.-The defeat of the Republican ticket
this fall would be blessing to the ma

to Mckinley and an end of the cut
rageous war in the Philippines. It
would be a deserved verdict against i'm
perialism and re establish the eternal
principles upon which the Republic
was based.
"WilIan Mckinley I have always
considered man of putty. and Mark
