A great sympathetic strike at this time
would undoubtedly defeat Mr.. Mckinley,
though Il Is probable that n the coal
minets' strike could be confined TO It's
present limits Il would not have much
erect on the campaign. even u Il should
continue until after the election. But It
would not remain within its pres

would spread over the country,
and there would be such violence as
would require che presence OF government
