DELAWARE, o., July 19.-"Well,
hear that the Enquirer has had to
get rid of Jayhawker.' I'm glad oI
that n'
So calculated Editor Flanagan, ot
the Delaware Herald. He had Just
come bouncing into the law-ofice ol
Hon. T. Z. Powell, who SO eloquent
ly nominated Ward at the Conven-
ton.
at doesn't look like it," laughed
Mr.. Powell, and he read from to-day's
Enquirer a letter from the facile pen
of Mr.. Woodward giving further par
ticulars of the Democratic disafec-
ton at Hoadly's nomination. Mr.
Powell took a fendish pleasure in
reading how "the genial Dan"
| I(meaning the aforesaid Flanagan)
had told "Jayhawker" that "there
was a kick in the Democratic ranks,
and that the course of the Edquirer
would defeat the ticket as sure as
hell"
"Do you know that Flanagan is
responsible for Hoadly's nomina-
ton ?" laughingly inquired Mr..
Powell, turning to the Commercial
Gazette correspondent,
"Why, l thought he claimed the
honor of being the first editor in
| Ohio to suggest the name of Ward
for Governor !'
That's so, but you see he got so
excited when the count was being
made that he jumped on the plat
form and pulled John McSweeney
from the front and held the Conven-
ton himself for ten minutes 1t was
during this time that Hoadly was de-
clared nominated"
Editor Flanagan was very bitter in
his remarks against the Enquirer.
He said Jayhawker' thinks he
got a lot out of me, but l interviewed
him too, and Pm going to write
something hot for the next issue ofI
my paper I told him the Enquirer
must have made a big pile by selling
ont to the Republicans of Indiana at
the last Presidential election. Tay-
hawker' replied that the ENQUIRER
got nothing but an increased Circula-
ton in that State, but that he him
self was paid $4,000 by the Indiana
Republican Central Committee, and
the Enquirer gave him $1,000. LAY
hawker' frankly confessed to me that
Johnny Mclean had employed him
to travel through Ohio and write up
disafected Democrats, and where he
could not find any he was to make
some; that Mclean had told him he
was determined to defeat Hoadly atI
all hazard. l remarked to LAY
hawker' that the Enquirer would
lose great many Democratic sub |
scrlbers by its course, bus he said
the paper expected to gain two Re
publican readers where it lost one
Democratic supporter"
Mr.. Powell professed that he did
not know Of any changes either way;
that both parties would poll their
full vote in the county. "But stop
a mlnute-sOme Of the colored men
Will not vote tor Foraker. The Re
publicans will have more trouble |
with the $1,000 colorcd voters of|
the state this year than ever they
have had before"
''Ihat may be so, put in Mr.. G..
G. Banker, Chairman of the Demo
cratic County Executive Committee,
"but the Prohibition vote the Repub-
licans will get will more than make
/ up for the losses in that direction.
On talking over the matter both
gentlemen agreed that the vote on
the Prohibition ticket would be but
light, and that most of the temper
ance people would deposit their bal
lots for Foraker

think Judge Hoadly will run be-
hind the Legislative ticket-but he'll
be elected all the same. There is
not that disafection at all that is
claimed by the Republican press"
Editor Flanagan was reminded
that it was the Democratic and not
the Republican press that was doing
most of the talk about Democratic
disadection."

of the Herald went on to say. 81
