KEENE IS FOR BRYAN.
The "Czar Of VIII street" Makes a
$4,000 Wsger.
(A1fra6 IJapru Too,,.


$4,000 Wager.
(Alfred Henry Lewis Yin Kansas City
Starr
Perhaps the most striking figure to
take the Democratic-Bryan end Of the
argument, In an aggressive and a mill
tant way, Is James r. Keene, the car
OF Wall street, the unchallenged king
Of speculation. Mr.. Keene was for
Mckinley in 1896; gave $4,000 toward
his campaign. To-day he's for Bryan,
and had long interview with the Ne
braskan on the occasion Of a recent
visit.
} New York Is shallow, and there's no
voice to be so potent with New York as
the jinghng voice Of money. There
fore, the story to follow made a deal Of
uneasy stir among the Mckinley folk.
1t was Just prior to Mr.. Keene's recent
sail for England. He and O. party of
gentlemen were at dinner in belmont
co.'s. One Of them, an adherent Of Nc
kinley's, and somewhat oversteeped in
that form of Eastern ignorance that
makes no account of any West or
South, was vociferously confident Of
coming Republican success. This sage
closed his Republican defamation with
q mad desire to bet. He was eager for
steel gray eye, that eye which for TWEEN
ty years has looked farther and more
prof1tably into Wall street futures than
any other, and asked:
What odds do you want to offer on
Mckinley? 1 infer from your exuber-
ance that you've something more start
ling to propose than even money!
Call It two to one in thousandsl" ex-
claimed the Mckinley adherent.
Contrary to the belief Of many" re-
torted Mr.. Keene, II seldom make a
bet. But I'll depart my rule on this
occasion and wager a trife with you.
Moreover, won't take the odds you
prefer: they're unfair. I'll do better
by you. I'll wager you $500 against
$4,000 that Bryan defeats Mckinley"
The Mckinley champion hesitated
.Cratory was one thing; a cold proposal
to jeopardize $1,000 on his Republican
hopes and fears was another. Again.
his opponents well-known genius to
foresee events-a genius which makes
him the magician of the bourse-daunt-
ed him. But he had gone too far.
Taking two other gentlemen in as equal
partners, he accepted Mr.. Keene's offer,
and $4,000 against $500 that Mckinley
defeats Bryan was Wagered. This
transaction has done not little to wet
blanket those forward anttcipations Of
local Republicans that their party is to
have q walk-oVer. Mr.. Keene has
never, within their experience, failed to
have reasons for any faith within him,
and his wager puzzles while it dismays
them.
