Cannot Support Mckinley Again.

Letter of Capt. Patrick O'Ferrell, Of
Washington, to Senator Hoar:
am an old-time republican, and an
abolitionist at that, who fought during
the late civil war for the principles of
Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln. /
want your speech for the fact therein.
They show the duplicity and treachery
Of William Mckinley, for whom I
spent eight weeks on the stump. Your
speech shows further that the next
election will determine whether we
shall retain our liberty, or do as Rome
did, into the imperial business. I
must, however, dissent from your logic
and from your advice to continue to
support the republican party, as long
as it marches under the banner of i'm
perialism.
l honestly believe that, in order to
preserve liberty, it is essential that the
honest and madly republicans who still
adhere to the declaration OF indie
pendence and the constitution should
use all their efforts in the next cam
paign to defeat Mckinley and the re-
publican pOrty by supporting William
J. Bryan, who, no matter, how we re-
publicans may differ with his free sill
yer and tariff theories, yet can agree
with him on the greater and paramount
questions OF Imperialism. The ques-
ton is, whether we shall continue as a
republic, or go into the colonial bust
ness and convert the stars and stripes
into an emblem of imperialism.
Again say, as an old-time abolition
list who shed my blood on the battle
fields of this country fighting for lib
erty, / must protest against your theory
and advice, that L should become the
slave of the party by continuing to-
support it, right or wrong. The cry
in the coming campaign should be:
"Bryau aud republican liberty" against
Mckinley and imperial tyranny" and
1 have every confidence that liberty
will win.

Democratic senators have decided
that the army reorganization bill con-
tains 80 many obiectional features that
they will not allow it to go through the
senate, and notice to that effect has
been served on the republicans. Among
the striking features of the army bill
is a provision for making Gen. Miles
acknowledgement Cput in to catch
democratic votes and Gen. Corbin
Encouragement; for the increase of the
regular army and for doubling the num-
Der of cadets to West Point. Senator
Jones, of Arkansas, the democratic
leader, who never minces words when
he bias anything to say, declared the
army bill to be full of rascality.
