McKinley tours and battleship Ohio launch plans
Regular Washington letter outlines McKinley’s continental stamping tour tied to the launching of the battleship Ohio in San Francisco this fall. It notes planned rear-platform speeches, trips to New England, and a strategy to counter anti-walkover predictions while fund drives for Gen Lawton’s widow and children exceed 11,000 dollars. It criticizes party finances and a ship subsidy bill, mentions Wheeler, Platt, Bryan, and Allen, and touches on the gold standard panic and market turmoil in New York and London.
