through Cincitmoati .tonight on his way to
Boston. Regarding 'the fight the A. P. A. is
making against' MKIniey , Judge Stevens
said : 'I notfce1 in tlue Cincinnati papers
tlmis morning , what purported to be an interview -
view with prominent members of the assacla-
tion , which , In general , is correct , yet it. Is
erroneous in some particulars. It Is true
the A. P. A. will not give to McKinley its
supptir , either for the nomInation or the
election. sluould he be mio'minated. His record
Is such that no A. P. A. member , who is true
to his princIp1es andwho ! has not be weaned
away from 'ha ! ot'der by'promines of office , can
support. him. McKiuiiey has never supported
this organizatioll. "
Judge Stevens then enumbraten various
grievances agaid t McKinley , omong tilern
the neglect or McKiniey's maziagers to grant
an A. 1 , A. audIence in Wasluiiugton on tIme
27th to time 30th' of lSst March , and the fact
McKinley hinusl.lt left unanswered telegrams
sent by time cOmlflittee to hIll. Judge
Stevens then said : , "We shall fight him In

President Traynor , editor of time Detroit Amar-

k ranted the committee an audience on the

the oppOrtunity was given for two conscutive

says Hen , A. WLintofl , is the A. P. A. can-

In conclusion , ) ue said : "You may say for

The only drawback is that there is no op.
