Washington Letter on McKinley and China Policy
The Washington letter discusses McKinley's push to appear aligned with Russia over China, Hay and Adee positions, and Cuban or Philippine policy. It notes political maneuvering, the Bryan campaign, and star-route contract tensions, with commentary on Bryan and McKinley contrasts and Black political shifts. It mentions Bishop Turner and Black voters, and a St Louis anecdote about a man planning a final tribute to his wife.
