Republican Leaders In OhiCS GOV 1e''sn Il
A Contest For @ Congressionars~ ~

COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 13.-It would appear
from the events of the past week that the
Republican party In this State had been
sufficiently punished, but 1t now transpires
that dissensions within the party are bloss-
oming out in a most extraordinary manner,
aud that the indications are very favorable
for bitter contest between the Stalwarts
and Garfield Republicans. 1t has been
known that there has existed for some time
GOODNESS between Governor Foster and his
predecessor, General Tom Young.
Before the assassination of President Gar
field 1t was generally conceded that Governor
Foster had at his sdisposal the bulk of Federal
patronage In this State and that If the gov
ernor's endorsement was secured an Office
or appointment was virtually within the
grasp of the applicant. Since the present
administration came into power there has
been great change.
The Stalwarts, the friends of Conkling
and Arthur, composed chiefly of the old
anti-Hayes faction, have to all appearances
the disposal of the gifts of the administra-
ton. Congressman Young being one of the
recognized leaders of this faction has not
been slow in working up sentiment against
Governor Foster, although secretly. When
Governor Foster sounded the key note OF the
campaign and pronounced In favor of the
enforcement of the Sunday law and the tax
ing of the liquor traffic, General Young took
the other size.
General Young openly denounced the
Sunday law, as well as all other temperance
legislation, and now that the Republicans
have been overwhelmingly defeated, he
shows his hand more clearly than ever be
fore. II is plain to be seen that the warfare
has commenced and that the object of
General Young is to injure SO far as possible
the chances that Governor Foster may have
of succeeding Mr.. Pendleton in the Senate
should the Republicans gain control of the
Legislature In 1883.
GENERAL YouNG's CONGRATULATIONS.
That there exists very bitter feeling be-
tween the Republican factions will at once
appear after reading the following telegraphic
correspondence which is full of bitterness
CINCINNATI, OHIO, Oct. 12, 1S82.-To
Charles Foster, Governor, Columbus, Ohio:
Congratulations on your only victory In any
rebellion. What do you think of your
achievements The G. A. n. recognize
your efforts on behalf of the soldier element
of our party, and the Germans of this and
other cities IN Ohio will ever appreciate your
| services in their behalf
THOMAS s. YOUNG.
This afternoon Governor Foster replied to
| the above as follows
| CoLUMbUS, w., Oct lO.-HOH. IHOHuS H.
Young, Cincinnati o.: Your telegram re-
ceived. Your irony is excruciating, but q
brave soldier (when sober) is not apt to in.
sinuate cowardice in others. ] am happy
| over the fact that made a square, honest
| fight for taxation of the liquor traffic and
the Sunday closing Of saloons. Upon these
| questions shall not take backward step
and will fight It out on this line. / deny
your right to speak for the G. A. R. or the
Germans upon this subject.
| CHARLES FOSTER.
1t is believed that these two kilograms
| will be instrumental in stirring up a bitter
strife between the Garfield Republicans and
Stalwarts. The following has just beer
