LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
tt'nder this heading short letters of In
terest will be published when accompa
nied, for publication, by tho writer's j
name. The Tribune will not be held re
sponsible for opinions here expressed
NOT A ONE .MAX IDEA.
Editor of Tho Tribune.
Sir: Your article In this mornins's issue
correcting a wrong Impression regarding
(lovernor MeKink-y was a manly aitkie.
and to be commended by every lover of
justice. There has been too much of el
disposition manifest lately of holding
Governor McKlnley up to the public as a
man of a single Idea; .that he lacks the
breadth of views, and a general knowl
edge of public affairs which are possessed
by other aspirants In the presidential
race. These hints and surmisltiss In this
direction are mean and untruthful. There
Is not a mime mentioned In connection
with 4he office of president who Is better
equipped to till It than William J'cKlnley.
His service in the army, his service lit
local politics, his long and faithful ser
vice In congress, and his honorable ser
vice of two terms as governor of tho
great state of Ohio have so brought him
In contact with men und with public af
fairs, that if elected president he will
come to thnt office fully equipped for the
great labors required of him.
It Is because of his ability to manage
the affairs of that office thut the ring
politician Is against him. If he was some
political novice who would be simply the
tool of every machine boss, then they
would all be for him with a rush. When
his name was tlrst mentioned for gover
nor of Ohio, there were, a few who gave
utterance to the same sentiments that
have been too common of late. But the
facts are that Ohio never hnd a better or
more efficient governor. After serving
two terms he retired from the office with
the approval of every citizen of that
state. No person can truthfully say mean
things of Governor McKlnley, and the
man who hints that he is only a one
horse sort of a fellow, does so simply he
cause the wish Is the father to his words.
The people are for McKlnley. The mu
chlne politician Is for somebody else. Now
let ell be treated fairly. As a rule, the
people are right. It has often been tho
case that great mistakes were made
when their wishes were trampled upon.
That mistake was made In this state not
long ago. It Is io be hoped that the les
son will not soon be forgotten. What Is
to hinder the people of this county from
expressing their wishes for president?
Are the politicians afraid to trust the peo
ple? Who can answerr
H. E. Paine.
Scranton, Pa., April 4,
STATEMENT BY MR. CHITTENDEN.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial of Saturday, en
titled "The Portico Issue," seems to me
so well calculated to mislead that portion
of the public that relies upon your journal
for information on public affairs, as to
Justly demand a plain statement of the
other side of the case. Admitting, for dis
cussion only, that Mr. Krothlngham's 02-.
cupatlon of the sidewalk is picturesque
and fills a long-felt want, will not a porti
co also be needed at once at the Academy
of Music? It Is, perhaps, narrow-minded
to confine the hotel guests who now on hot
summer nights sprawl around the ten-foot
reservation to that narrow compass. Kv
ery hotel In the city will demand and re
ceive the control and occupancy of the
sidewalk with an nwnlng, but -this privi
lege wil) be of great value to every tnarkst
and butcher shop. It must be granted or
unjust preference shown. This will be
followed by a sidewalk kiosk for every
peanut and fruit Ktun.l. and the plain citi
zen n a rainy day can wedge his way
through dree 1 hogs, swinging banana
bunches, varied by trips to the gutter to
void hotel t-hntr and crowds jammed
Into porilros out of the ram.
You imimatr a personal hostility to
Frothlnghum on the part of the councils.
This Is an cror I ! lirve on Its merits
the portico would r Jt receive a vote la
the'councils. It ).i v!. S to find and ri:s-rK-nse
truth, pul!i.;h u. complete li "t cf
the owners of the Arcade and see if the
avcruue rlitzeti e.ia ills. oer why tins
impudent Rii'.h of city pn-perty h: s para
lysed the executive, wid.bl.-d the iVv; il.
and shaken up the b lsUtive Uepui'ttm .its
of the city government and "why sjeh a
dangerous tire-trap is ui lowed within the
lire limits. You express the belief that
many ix-rsons desire to see lit council men
who can rite above .ersoiiHl prejudices.
This Is good, but I think you will lind, in
the long run, more p-rsuns desire council
men and executive officers who will nuike
fair lawn and enforce them on rich and
poor alike without regard to their political
or social standing. Men, for instance,
who will not only arrest and tine a drug
gist like myself for a mortar on a hitch
ing nust, but will arrest the mighty editor
of The Tribune himself for placing a bl
barrack on the public walk to advertise
his business. Muy he Increase the city
revenues, -twenty-live dollars for this and
five dollars extra for every day that he
tears off his bulletins and throws them
In the street.)
This city has lost Its splendid Interests
In the. ten-foot reservation by private
greed and public indifference. It will not
lose Its sidewalks, by the select council
vote. As far as their power goes the laws
will be enforced, and for the good of the
town It i to bo hoped 'that some journal
In the. city will realize that this is no
longer a mining camp, but a city, and
take off Its collar and come to the assist
ance of Its narrow-minded couiu ilmen to
enforce and uphold - the law for and
against all. C. E. Chittenden,
