NOTES OF TIE CAMPAIGN.

! cite Goa. strike developed yesterday.
| One consisted of the stout and~yehement Mt
| GENIAL by the Hon. W. ]. Stone that the
| Democratic managers have advised and
conspired with the miners to bring en-
| the strike, and the other is contained in
| the revelation that Mr. Hanna through
| J. Pierpont Morgan. the giant among
| the coal Darons. tried to prevail upon
| the opera tors TO make concessions that
would preserve the status quo in the dis
| turbed district until after the election.
The implication is plain. Mr.. Hanna
! realizes the danger to Mr. Mckinley that
| is threatened by the strike. Mr.. Han
| mas application to PierpoHt Morgan for
| relief also shows the intimate reIa-
| tions existing between the Republican Or
| saniZation and the Coal Trust-tke cru
| elest and most irrational of all the indus
! trial combinations. Governor Stones de-
| NAL of Democratic connection with the
| strike is couched in language strong
| and specific as to force conviction upon
| every unprejudiced mind While it is en-
| tlrely unnecessary for the Democratic
| managers to give superheated expression
| to the sympathy the party organization
! feels for the distressed laboring men and
| their families involved IL the Hazleton
| strike. it may be advisable for them to
| expose the fimsy lie that the men close
| TO Mr- Bryan have encouraged the strike.
| 1t is believed that this action will have
| salutary effect upon certain class OF
! small business men and property owners
| VINO are prone to accept as literally true
every report set afcat by Mr.. McKinIey's
| managers that Mr.. Bryan and those as
! sociated with him are anarchists On
| tn other hand if can be argued with
sound reas on that if Mr.. Hanna feels au-
| thcrized or considers it advisable 70 con-
Fg. xr..4 TT,a
behalf of Mr.. Mckinley there is left no
| room for doubt that a distinct under
| standing exists between the Admin s.
tratiOn and the ,inSatiably greedy trusts.
| With this fact established. it is not be-
, lieved that the class of small business
| men and property owners referred to
could longer have excuse TO view Mr.
| Bryan with distrust and mis- givines.
| Then. too. the Dingley tariff-the high
est expression of Mr.. MoKinIey's eco
nomic and fiscal poiicy-has enab,ef the
| Coal Trust to tighten its grip upon the
/ coal Industry, and to SO control pro-
duction as to place in the power of the
magnates the control of the price of the
| product as well as of labor AItogelh-
! er, therefore, the anthracite coal strike
/ viii serve as a splendid object lesson to
| the whole country of the monstrous evils
| of the trust system made possible on'y
by high protective tariff laws and leni-
| power.
''WaHinG 'Esm JP.'-Mr Hanna gave
one of his delightful little luncheons in
Chicago yesterday. His guests were limited
TO the representatives of various special
! interests in the West-notably the Wire
| and Steel Trusts the Leather Trust, and
the Beef Trust-which are being benefited
/ by McKinleyism at home and in the colo
MES But really the biggest trust mag
( nate present was the Hon. Billy Lorimer.
! Republican boss al home and sly and art
/ fui statesman in Washington Il woke EN-
uD-I woke 'em up in good fashion" was
all Mr. Hanna would say to the reporters
/ when he came away from his luncheon.
| It was learned from a reliable source
/ that Mr. Hanna laid down the law to his
! guests on the important question of Chi
cago's contribution to the campaign fund,
and that he assessed the Windy City
| $500. COO This is $100, eco short of his as
sessment on Philadelphia. but as the
! Quaker City has larger interests at stake
in the reelection of Mr.. Mckinley both
in the tariff and the ship subsidy scheme
it is contended that the levy On Chicago
is just and equitable. The Hon Graene
Stewart one of the new statesmen de-
! veloped by Mr.. Hanna during the present
| campaign, was assigned the duty of col
! lecting the assessment which similar
] duty was imposed upon the Hon. W ".
! Gibbs in Philadelphia. The Hon. Billy
Lorimer has demanded $3.50, 0G0 of Mr..
| Hanna for use in Cook county. This is
I $25 eco less than Mr. Hanna turned over to
Lorimer for a like purpose in the last
campaign. One of the arguments employ
ed by Mr.. Hanna 10 wake up his guests
! was that New York is extremely shaky
| and therefore 1t behooves the supporters
nfr Ia ,yr,E-
| eF in the close States of the West. Mr.
/ Hanna told the Chicdgoese that Croker
was Loyalty supporting Bryan aud Steven
/ son, and that the Tammany chieftain could
raise s., 600 coo in New York city for the
campaign as easily as he could raise 81.
Il New Dodge.-The Hon Louis En-.
cry. who has about ''winded" the fickIc
| SibIey in the race for Congress in the
Twenty-seventh district of Pennsylvania.
has resorted to an entirely new and prob
| ably effective method OF slencing the en-
| emys mud batteries He has entered tudg,
nent against Editor Boyle of the '.On City
| Derrick for 5000; and thereby hangs q
| tale. Several years ago, in the settlement
| of libel suit. Boyle gave Emery q bond
for the amount stated to guarantee the
| latter against further attack in the Der
| TICK Emery alleges that Boyle mas Vlo-
lated the bond. and now he is going to
make him come TO Limerick Colonel
BoyIe's paper is a Standard Oil organ,
! Emery not only is a candidate for Congress
| against the Standard Oil candidate but he
is also largely interested in oil companies
| that actually have the hardhood TO fight
| the Rockefeller monopoly. Hence. it can
| be very easily understood why the editor
of the Standard Oil organ-who, by the
! way, is a very genial and merry soul
| should violate his bond at this time at the
| imminent risk of forfeiting So, 600 of his
| hard-e med money. It is suggested that
| if every statesman who gets into row
with a newspaper should adopt Candidate
Emery's tactics the Maryland Democracy
| would again have an opportunity TO make
| a winning fight on a loud and imperative
| demand for the liberty of the press, as it
| did last year to the Rmazement and delight
| of the nation.
