Not at ALL He takes the front just
as he did in 1898, and you will either
follow Platt or Croker. From McKin-
ley and Platt down can you find a Re
publican that thinks you are any bet
ter han a Bryan or Tammany Demo
crat, unless you remain a newer of
wood and drawer of water?
Has Tammany ever done anything
worse than this latest franchise steal
of the Quay crowd in Philadelphia?
Elatt ana Quay; do you really desire to
lose New York, and weaken your party
for 1902 and 1904? If so, help Platt.
Veterans of thhe Civil War! All!
here is McKinley's cause for pride;
this is his strong point. He takes eY'
cry occasion to place his hand over his
heart, and using his other arm as a
pump-handle, he extracts tears, which
flow on and on forever. He tells us
how he owes the comrades who offered
their lives when the country was near
ly /, stroyed. Oh, how he pities their
sufferings; and for fear that the peo-
pie would think he was giving them q
Jolly, he issued his famous order In
1899, protecting veterans in public
place.
What a grand idea!
What are the facts? Subordinates
remove veterans without cause, and
when o. l.. Spaulding, who is Secre'
tary Of the Treasury, causes the re-
moval of many veterans, Mckinley ex
cuses the acts by saying he is so busy
etc. ETC., cant investigate. Veterans
are too ola, etc, ETC., until finally he
reaches the proud eminence Of permit
ting the removal Of more veterans
than were removed from 1876 to 1896
a period Of twenty years covering
Cleveland's two terms.
McKinley's wreath of glory, for the
future, should be double size. OF
course, this is not the act Of a hypo-
crite. 1t is a case where o. L, Spauld'
ing and his associates have simply fool
ed a man who can't help being fooled
All, me; this world is so full Of de-
ception. These men who fool so good
a President should be promoted at
once.
Mckinley Gratitude
Upon tht theme one could write
books. The history Of the CONNER
cial and Industrial League of the coun
try their efforts in 1896 and 1900 to
carry Mckinley into power and glory
is affecting.
And his gratitude, as shown the men
in that organization, is of a piece with
his other acting.
II stamps Mckinley what he Is
There is no necessity to use any terms
| Intelligent readers can readily supply
the proper words from the English yo
cabulary.
When McKinleys kitchen cabinet
chose G. B. Cortelyou for private sec
relary they knew what they were do
ing. A Copperhead is just the man e
ward off all veterans efforts and XII
/ off every reliable and loyal Northern

views such as held them in line fol
| Lincoln and the Army.
What a travesty the whole thing Is
/ McKinley's famous order Of 1899, de
/ signed to do such great things for the
veterans. but only intended as piece
of buncombe for use in campaign work
| Not a veteran has it ever protected
| Not one will il ever save. Even Peter
the Great. and Ivan the Terrible, Nero
| Xerxes and Napoleon all respected
/ their defenders and protected them
/ They never broke their word, which

slams altered not, but Mckinleys sol
emn statements about veterans, civi
service laws, and gold Democrats, al
/ said to cause an effect in MS favor, al
of as much life as the Dead sea.
But Mckinley is deyout believer II
the Bible, that says He that proVldetL
not for his (own) family is worse thar
an infidel, so all his relations to th'
seventeenth generation and forty-nintt
degree Of kinship have a place at th'

The time is near when every veteran
with his sons, every gold Democrat
with his friends, can bring Mckinney
