DEMOCRATIC HARMONY,
Gen. King Says Sound Money Me
VIII Vote for MckinIey

Gen. King Says Sound Money Men
Will Vote for Mckinley.
Gen. Horatio c. King was accosted at the
Hotel Regent last evening by a Star re-
porter with the inquiry as to whether he
attended the recent harmony dinner In
Brooklyn. NO" replied the general, with
broad smile, II am member of the Ma
ttonal Civic Club, which got it UP, and I
expected to be there, but was laid UP with
the grip and sent my republican son-in-law
in my stead. He gave me a pretty graphic
account of the entertainment. There were
about 400 present, including few republic
cans, a small sprinkling of sound-money
democrats and the balance dyed-in- the-wool
machine democrats who would vote for
Bryan or his satanic majesty If he is nom
mated.
There was considerable harmony laying
around in spots, but it didn't seem to con-
geal. Edwin NJ. Shepard led off with an
appeal to relegate 1G to l to the rear this
year and unite on other issues. Hay of Vir-
ginia made an eloquent and conservative
speech, but the far west, IN the person Of
Representative De Almond Of Missouri in
pungent colloquial phrases, informed the as
semhled multitude that the Chicago plat
form would be maintained in its entirety
and that the west, at least, would not listen
to any compromise. The duty of the mi
nority was to yield to the majority, and
harmony could be secured by the lion and
the lamb lying down together with the lamb
Inside. This is not exactly what he said,
but it conveys his idea. Harmony took a
flying leap out of the window, and the
sound-nloney democrats are wondering why
they went to the dinner"
will there be third ticket in New York
next fall?" asked the reporter
mo-" replied the general; II think not.
Every one comedies the nomination OF
Bryan and Mckinley, and this time the
scund-money democrats will array them
selves with Mckinley and take no chances"
