hACVEAGH is FOR M'KlRLEY
Unwilling to Trust Men in the Penn
Ocratie Organization.
He Writes n Letter TO the PHILADELPHIA
Ledger in Which lie scores Bryan,s
Part in the Treaty with spain
The Gold Standard.

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 5-In a letter TO
the Ledger, which will be published in
that paper tomorrow, Wayne MacVeagh.
who was Attorney General in President
GeIfield's Cabinet and Ambassador 10
Italy under President Clevelands admin
istration. in giving his reasons for sup
porting Mckinley, says in part:
For the war with Spain the politicians
OF both parties were equally responsible.
but Democrats, both in Congress and in
the press, were even more shriIl and in
sistent in demanding war than Republi-
cans, while the President was resisting
the opportunities of both. II Congress
had left the matter a few months longer
in his hands, believe he could have per-
su&ded Spain TO withdraw her flag from
the American continent in peace, as the
other European nations, with only one
exception, had withdrawn theirs.
Then followed the ignoble, hysterical
condition into which we all dashed our
selves over victories won fren an enemy
whom we outnumbered more than five
10 one in population and more than tWen-
ty To one in all the resources now needed
in war Ii was in that mood the treaty
with Spain was negotiated and ratified.
while the treaty was before the Sen
ate an amendment was proposed placing
the Philippines on the same footing as
Cuba, thus depriying the treaty of its
NEST obnoxious feature-that of a grave
and serious departure from the funda-
mental principle of those free institu-
tions which have been at once the strength
and the glory of the republic in all Its
splendid history. Senator Vests amend
ment would have brought the treaty into
exact harmony with Mr.. Lincoln's state
ment and prevented the war in the Phil
Ipines which We all so much deplored.
| That amendment was defeated by Mr..
| Bryan, and nobody else could have de-
| featcd it. / do not question that his mo-
tiyes were patriotic, but extend the same
| charitable construction TO President Me-
/ kinley. When the treaty was ratified
without that amendment and thus became
part of the supreme law of the land,
| the deplorable consequences which have
| followed would have followed just the
same, in my opinion, if Mr.. Bryan had
| been President.
Nor can | believe anybody with or
binary common sense is in danger of re-
garding President McKinley's selection
as an Endorsement of the war in the Phil
J ippines- II seems 10 me the present ten
dency of President Mckinley's mind can
/ be discerned In the true American policy
he is now pursuing in China"
Continuing, Mr.. MacVeagh says he finds
| himself in harmony with the Republican
platform on the gold standard. But the
controlling reason with me for support
| ing Mckinley and Roosevelt" he con-
cludes, lis the unwillingness / feel to in
trust the government of the country 70

I the Democratic organization, standing as

Still he made another trial. He waited
until they were in the hOmestretch. ana
then he came laundering down the track
at top speed. intent on getting her by be-
fore she realized what was happening
Hezekiah apparently was obliyious of all
that was taking place. although the
crowd. having now entered thoroughly
into the spirit of the contest. yelled at
him yociferOusly. He had his pipe in his
teeth and was using an oil can with ons
hand while he held the lever with the
other. The machine was moving with less
noise than previously. too. and IL really
seemed as il the mare would go by IL,
but
There was a shrill. shrieking whistle
Calm, undesigning Hezekiah looked
startled So did the mare.
Fragments Of the sulky were picked up
all over the inner inelosure and three
yards of fence had to be rebuilt before
the track was again used. As for 81. he
was able to get out again in about two
weeks, although he walked with caae
for something over a month.
The stranger took the night train out of
town, but before going was seen to pocket
a roll of bills and slap HeZekiah heartily
on the back.
You're all right" he was reported to
have said, 10 which HeZekiah responded,
as he put the remaining bills in his own
pocket, Il reckon / know my business,

And since that time the subject OF Hez-
ekiah's invention has been tabooed in the
little town of Sun Prairie.
