managers decided to carry the State for

Culllom boom, and they succeeded.
The Mckinley managerS-with Mark
Hanna as their chief-decided to strad-
die the money question. They held an
early State convention in Ohio for the
purpose of adopting a platform which
should serve as guide in other States.
The money plank was complete ex-
ample of concealing thought with lanu-
age. Both silver and gold men read in
1t a full Endorsement of their varying
views.
Some say Hanna wanted a sound
money plank, but held out against 1t
long enough to carry out several other
objects he had in view. An Eastern
committee waited upon him at his hotel
and told him they would sacrifice
Mckinley If he did not let them have a
sound money plank. 1t Is said that

an. hour in which to come to terms,
and that Hanna did so in half an hour
When the platform finally was adopted

ventions had declared for free silver.
democrats DIVIDED.
The Democrats were a badly split
party when they arrived at Chicago
The silver wing was so violently op-
posed to Mr.. Cleveland that they de-
feated a resolution indorsing their own
administration, something perhaps un-
exampled in party politics in the
United States. In the Republican con-
vention the Silverites who could not
favor the platform, walked out, some OF
them with tears streaming down their
cheeks, but the anti-Free Silver Demo-
Gratis sat tight until after the conven-
ton. Bryan's Grown of thorns and
cross Of gold" speech swept him up the
political ladder from a contesting dele
gate to the nominee of the convention,
after one of the most dramatic scenes
in the history Of political gatherings.
The Silver Republicans ratified the
action of the Democratic convention,
the Populists put up Bryan and Wat
son, and the bulk of the Prohibition
vote went for free silver Later the
Gold Democrats met and gave the
Cleveland administration the indorse-
ment it had been denied by the regular
Democratic convention, and nominated
Palmer and Buckner on a Gold Demo-
crat platform.
The Republicans found that they had
serious business on hand, for Bryan

The events Of the great political battle
of 1896, whose outcome for. a time
seemed uncertain, are Of such recent
occurrence as to live in the memory OF
many people. It witnessed the breaking
down of more Of the old party lines
than any other fight since the beginning
OF the Civil War. It Is comparable to
the present campaign In the breaking
down Of party ties.
Cleveland's start in his second term
in Office was not promising. The storm
clouds OF a panic were on the horizon
before he was elected, and caused the
Harrison administration to order the
preparation Of plates for the issuance
of bonds to keep up the Treasury re-
serve. BY the time Cleveland was in
augurated hard times had arrived, and
before the Wilson tariff bill was written,
they were pressing down upon the Ma
ton. The Cleveland administration
was blamed for it.
Party Turns to Free Silver.
Democracy turned to free silver in its
bid for popularity and support, but here
1t found itself at cross purposes with its
chief in the White House. Cleveland
advocated a gold standard country. Be-
fore this happened he became involved
In a controversy with England over the
Venezuelan boundary dispute, and read
the law on the Monroe Doctrine to Eng
land with such directness and determi-
nation that Britain decided to accept
his contentious. Some of the Repub-
licans hailed this as bid for a third
term, saying it was beyond all question
the Presidents first move on the politi-
cal checkerboard
The repeal Of the Sherman silver
purchasing law and the Democratic
split over the money question, coupled
with the panic, the tariff, and the bond
issues, led the Republicans to believe
they could, as they boosted, nominate
rag baby for President in 1895 and
win at the polls" The two real candi-
dates were william Mckinley and
Thomas B. Reed. The opposition to
Mckinley sought to break down the
backbone Of his strength by bringing
out favorite sons everywhere.
Mckinley Managers Face Opposition.
Iowa brought out Senator Allison,
and they tried to bring out Senator
Cullom In Illinois. First the Mckinley
managers sought to sidetrack the Gull
lom boom by offering him a good posi-
ton under Mckinley. Cullom himself
said he could have had anything he
wanted. When he declined the Mckinley

TARIFF DECLARED
VITAL TO FARM AID
McNary Says Agricultural
Relief Would Fail With
out Protection.
By the Associated press.

BY the Associated Press.
ENID, Okla, October Ex-senator
Charles N. McNary. of Oregon, CO.
author Of the McNary-Haugen bill,
stated in a campaign speech prepared
for delivery here last night that the
provisions of the measure would be in
effective for farm relief unless accom-
panied by the high protective tariff
pledged by the Republican party. He
also stated that the Democratic party
is pledged to return to low tariffs"
To this metropolis of the only con-
gressional district in Oklahoma repre-
sented by a Republican, Senator Nc
Nary came TO urge support of the presi-
Dental candidacy of Herbert Hoover.
Many Republican farmers of the dis
trict were proponents of the vetoed
McNary- Haugen bill and opposed the
nomination of Mr.. Hoover. Democratic
leaders claim there have been wide
spread Republican OBJECTIONS in the dis
trict as a result
Senator McNary said that Gov. Al
fred E. Smith, who Endorsed the prin-
ciples of the McNary- Haugen bill in a
speech at Omaha, cid not commit him
self as to whether he approved the
equalization fee provision.
Let it be borne in mind that no
farm relief can be made effective with
out high protective tariff, policy
for which the Republican party has
stood during the history of its exist
ence," Senator McNary said 1.-THE pri-
mary purpose of the McNary- Haugen
bill was to make the tariff effective to
those staple crops of which we produce
surplus. Consequently that measure,
with the equalization fee or without the
fee, would completely fail unless sup
ported by strong protective tariff.
"The historic failure of the Demo
cratic party to provide protection to
| American producers of agricultural
products is challenge to its capacity
to deal effectively with the farm
problem"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1928-10-20

and free silver, It seemed, had ut one
step carried more voters away from the
Republican party than the Republican
leaders could hope to get In recruits
from the democracy. Bryan went to
New York and initiating Lincoln, read
carefully prepared speech Of accep-
lance, rather than TO take any chance
Of sacrificing his thoughts for oratorical
efforts. Bryan found himself handi-
capped by poverty-personal and poll
tical. He often had to borrow money
to get from one stopping place to an
other, and the first part Of his tour was
made In day coaches.
Meanwhile the Republicans conjured
with the prosperity argument and the
threat Of worse times II Bryan came
into power. Debtors were informed
that their creditors would want their
money If Bryan won, factory workers
were warned to expect shutdown In
the event of his success, and with the
and three-fourths of the business men
on their side, nothing was left undone
by Hanna and his associates. In Sep
TENDER the tide that had been flowing
toward Bryan turned back and kept
rising toward Mckinley until election
day.
When the campaign was over Bryan
had spoken to more than 5000, 900 peo-
pie, while over 100000 had made
pilgrimages to Canton, Ohio, to hear
and greet Mckinley In his famous
front-porch campaign. The Repub-
more than hundred electoral votes to
spare. Only in two Of the States did
the gold Democratic ticket figure to
any extent. Mckinley got quarter of
million popular votes more than all
his opponents combined.
When Mckinley came into power he
brought a great change into the White
House. Cleveland and Harrison knew
nothing of the fine art of Cancellation.
Both failed to agree with their party
leaders, and each Of them was ready
to fight at the drop Of the hat. But
Mckinley was conciliator. He pre-
ferred to follow the advance guard in
political contest rather than to head
it. He tried to carry out the will Of
his party rather than to control It.
Some said he had the backbone Of a
chocolate eclair, but his friends realized
that he was the man to keep his party
together by compromise rather than to
split 1t by opposition. Cleveland and
Harrison go down in history as the only
two Presidents who ever defeated one
another. John Quincy Adams defeated
Jackson before Jackson became Presi-
dent, and afterward was defeated by
Jackson. but this was not q case Of
an ex-President defeating a President.

SALMON. RUNI RE PORT ED. CMEKAT
Dnusilahy Hesvyl Run of Red Salmon Reported
 Feb. l7-March 2A

A run of red salmon in the Chilkat River that lasted five weeks and during which thous- ands of fish ascended that stream was reported today by Capt. M. J. OConnor, Assistant Agent of the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries. It is the first time in the history of the stream that there has been a winter run of reds, he declared, and authentic reports received by the bureau indicate it was un- usually heavy for first run.
 The run was first noticed on February IT and fish were present from that time until March 24. After March 1, the movement was heavy and continued so until March IS when it began to slack off, said Capt. O'Connor. The fish were in good shape and were taken in considerable number for food by the Indians at Klukwan.
 From various sources of infor- nation as to the size of the run, Capt. O'Connor estimates that not less than 12.000 fish ascended the river, and it possibly exceeded that figure. Whether they were able to get into the lake to spawn was not known. The ice on the lake was very heavy and observa- tions were therefore impossible.
