THE REAL ISSUE?

At dinner at the Hamilton Clup
Chicago. Tuesday night, Mark Hanna
after warning republicans that they had
the FIGHT of their lives on hand to elect
Mckinley, gave this as his opinion OF
the chief issue in the campaign:
81 contend that the main issue in this
campaign is free silver, and every collat'
eral issue that has been injected into this
campaign has been for the purpose OF
throwing dust in the eyes OF our work.
inc neople. and as manager OF this cam
paign, propose that they shall not hide
this question:
This fully disproves the statement that
Hanna revised Mckinley's letter OF ac-
ceptance. and makes it quite PLAIN that
the manager has not even read the letter
of his man.
"Ihe real issue. whether paramount or
not, is" declares Mckinley i'll his letter,
"whether we shall be responsible for the
government of the Philippines with the
sovereignty and authority which enables
us to guide them to regulated liberty, law,
safety and progress, or whether we shall
be responsible for the forcible and aroi'
trary government OF minority without
sovereignty or authority on our part, and
with only the embarrassment OF protec'
torate which draws us into their troubles
without the power of preventing them.
This is confusing to the republican IN
search OF the true issue, but there Is NJ
doubt that Webbing Willie will, a
usual. modify his views to conform witt
those OF his manager, and the breath o
life will be infused into the dead Issue
for the campaign.

CHICAGO, April S0.-Never in the his
tory of the great Auditorium has there

tIful tnan that revealed tonight when the
great ball given in honor of Admiral
Dewey was at its height. 1t was Chi
cago's first opportunity to pay her t;t-

Immediately Admiral and Mrs. Dewey

ARGUMENT in THE
KENTUCKY CASE
Was Begun Before the United States
Supreme Court on YESTERDAY.
Court Room Crowded,

WASHINGTON, April 5u-rne argument
in the kentucky Governc. lip case was
begun in the United States Supreme
Court at 1850 to-day. rhe courtroom was
crowded.
The first presentation was made In behalf
of Governor Taylor by Attorney Helm
Bruce.
Mr. Bruce contended that after the is
sue of the certiiicates OF election, Mr.. ray
lor was as much the Governor or Ken
tucky as any man who mad ever Deen
inaugurated. lie denied that the Legis-
lative adjudication was any adjudication
at all. He said that the report OF the COM
mittee of investigation presented no eyl-
dence, and that II was made TO a secret
meeting of the Assembly.
Mr.. Bruce contended for the Jurisdiction
of the Supreme Court under the constl-
tuition. k.ntuckys legislative powers ex-
tended only 10 the trial Of the contest,
that il had been confessed that there was
no evidence in tive of the ten counties in
the contest While IN three OF the remaining
five it was very timsy. The only two
grounds remaining We're: The charges
of thin ballots used in forty counties, Or
a third of the State, and OF intimidation
in the city of Louisville
II could not. be contended that the state
itself could deprive portion Of its pop
ulation of the right OF franchise without
due process Of Jaw.
Hon. Lawrence N Maxwell, appearing
for Mr. Beckham, argued that the pro
ceerl:ng in this case had been in accord
ance with the law under the Constitution.
Mr.. Maxwell contended that the case
PRESENTED no Federal question: and that,
therefore, the Federal Supreme Court had
no jurisdiction. Tie Kentucky Supreme
Court OF Appeals had decided that Mr..
Tavlor had never acquired title to the
Office of Governor under the Constitution
and laws of the State. Its decision was
final. Mr. Maxwell thought it unneces-
sa,y to consider the application of the
fourteenth amendment. That amendment
could only be applied where right had
accrued.
Mr.. Louis Mcqueen also spoke for Mr..
Beckharn Mr.. Mcqueen argued for the
final and inclusive jurisdiction of the Leg
islature in questions of this character.
Mr.. Mcqueen also contended that the Fed
eral Court had no right to investigate or
question of the Legislature in its decision.
Ex-Governor Bradley, the only attorney
remaining to be heard, will make the con-
c!ud:ng speech foc Governor Taylor.
