ANOTHER OPIS10N. Kansas City, Mo., May 6. After reviewing the various reports circu lated against Hon. Wm. Mckinley the writer took It upon himself to make a personal Investigation of the affair as presented by Hon, J. H. D. Stevens, C. P. Johnson and others. The cities of Cleveland, Canton and Columbus, O., were visited for this purpose. Without giving the details of the charges, the outline will be made by stating the actual facts relative to mis-statements which have been circu lated against the character of Mr. Mc Kinley. Mr. Boyle, his private secretary, Is not a Roman Catholic. He Is a mem ber of the Episcopal church, a member of Excelsior Lodge, A. F. and A. M. and of Royal Arch Masons of Cincin nati Chapter; also a member of the K. of P. His wife is a member of the same church as himself. Major McKinley belongs to the fol lowing societies: Masons, Knight Templar, K. of P., G. A. R., Union Veteran Union, Sons of the American Revolution, Loyal Legion, and a col lege fraternity. He is a member of the first M. E. Church, southeast cor ner Tutearawas and Cleveland streets, Canton, O., of which Rev. Edmonds is pastor. His wife belongs to the same church. The chlldren of McKinley died in their infancy and never attended any school. McKinley belongs to no Roman so- neciion witn the order. 1 was an ap plicant for the position of oil-inspector, with the understanding that if the then present incumbent was retained I was not, as he was a friend of mine and a member of the order. He was re tained and I was perfectly satisfied. That statement was made without my knowledge or consent and had 1 been consulted they would have known that the statement was false. I do not know, neither do I believe, that McKinley ever turned a man down on account of his connection with the order. He Is too broad a man, too much of an American, too loyal to the principles that are dear to all true American citizens. He Is as great an American citizen as you have always thought he was. He is all right. I am for him for president and he is worthy of it the grandest American we have to-day. Your friend, W. W. Lanning. The statement that Mr. Boyle's daughter married a Roman Catholic was used: I will state that it was a match against the parents wishes. Regarding the Roman land commis sioner mentioned in the Stevens-Johnson circular, I will say that there were two to be appointed to fill a non-partisan board: The Roman Cathollo was a Democrat who was recommended by the Democratic party, and the other was a Protestant and was recommended by the Republican party. The statement that McKinley could not be seen by the Stevens-Johnson circular people is not proper. Mr. Grosvenor, after refusing to state Mc Klnley's stand on the A. P. A. question telegraphed McKinley that the com mittee would probably call on him. McKinley waited at home for two days and the committee came not. From the ease which the writer had in meeting McKinley, we would judge that the committee did not desire to see him. Many members of the Jr. O. U. A. M. and A. P. A. were Interrogated in Canton, O., and they found no fault with McKinley. It is not the desire of this letter to do an injustice to Mr. Linton. The writer, who is an A. P. A. desires only to see justice done all concerned, and therefore made the investigation. The A. P. A. members at large are deeply interested in the statements, and it can be truthfully said, from re search, that Major McKinley Is a man who, as a man, is far above the low political line used in politics. His char acter is above reproach, and as to his Americanism, it ia strong and is not more than one official whose election certain newspapers bitterly opposed. There does not seem to be any doubt in the minds of some of the members of the board of education as to whether a change will be made in the office of superintendent of school buildings this year. There seems to be little or no opposi tion in the school board to the re-election of Secretary Glllan for "another term, but we believe that when a new superintendent of buildings is selected the present board will have back-bone enough to select a competent man for that place. We still Insist that the school board cannot afford to re-elect Banker super intendent of buildings. He does not meet the requirements of the law. He has not contracted half of five years, and besides he could not hold a job under any first class contractor, If the reports which reach us are true. We do not think the Republicans of Omaha will permit themselves to be come "trading stock" in the interest of any one man who would attempt to use the lash on his appointees for his own personal agrandlzement. The great majority of the Republican party of Douglas county hold to American prin ciples and any man who assumes to be a director will have an accounting forthwith at their hands.
