ThAtS What n a>ClsvsIand Democrat Says
About HIm-LsoDaTd = Hypoerits.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE Post has
special in to-day's issue from Columbus,
on the subject of the campaign in Ohio.
The correspondent quotes the words of
"a very prominent citissn Of Cleveland
and good Democrat" and this citizen
said: 81 am satisfied that Hoadly's nomi-
nation was mistake. He does not COM
mand the respect of the best elements OF
the Democratic party. He is erratic and
irregular. He is q bright lawyer, but he
is not q good politician or . statesman.
His digestion Is not good, and the public
at large do not greatly enthuse over dys-
peptics-"
"But he succeeded two years ago."
"True. No one will deny that he has
sort Of blind luck, but he is not in sympa-
thy with the great principles Of the great
Democratic party. He stands In, and
always has, with lot Of Republican snobs
and Is always bringing them to the front"
Then this very prominent Cleveland
Democrat goes oE to score Governor
Hoadly for recommending the sppoint-
ment Of Ex-Governor Noyes as q Govern
ment Director Of the Union Pacific Rail-
way, but Is even more severe upon him for
having been the means OF having Mr..
Marx Hanna chosen. The Cleveland
Democrat Is evidently envious OF
the popularity which Mi. Hanna enjoys
socially and politically, and haa called the
new government director OF the Union Pa
cifc Railway an Offensive partisan" for
having recently taken part In political
convention. Mr.. Hanna is blamed for the
fsct that Mr. Blaine, during the campaign
in Ohio last year, IVES given q compile
mentary dinner, and also because ex.
Policeman Rumsey was employed to main
tain peace along the docks, and it Is
charged that 1.-THE laboriug men and sailors
Of Cleveland hold Hoadly responsible for
the nomination OF Hanna and they are
going to vote against Hoadly on that &C
count"
"Do you think Hoadly will be-deieat-
ed p the Cleveland Democrat was asked.
"Oh, could hardly say as 70 that. 1t
is still little early 70 guess. / consider
him weak candidate, and personaiIy |
feel very sorry that he was nominated.
But that is not the worst thing that We
have 10 contend with by any means. The
tacs OF the matter is, the worst element OF
the party are in the ascendency aad are
running things to suit themselves. Before
this year 1t was fight between the good
and the bad, and the bad won; but this
year il ia the bad alone. It Is the element
that cut Allen G. Thurman's throat, and
killed Pendleton, and Sam Hunt, and
Durbiu Ward. It now has undisputed
control Of things in the State, and
is running the party at lightning rate in
the direction of sheol. The latest prom
ise is that il Hoadly is elected aud the
Legislature is Democratic, Thurman will
be elected Senator. There is NOT word
OF sincerity in this. They made the same
promise to Durbin Ward two years ago
when he was butchered in the convention
for Governor, bat when the time came he
was not thoughtof The coal oil gang had
full possession OF things.
$50 far IS the Rev. DR.. A. B. Leonard,
the nominee for Governor on the Ptohi-
bition ticket, Is concerned, hshas already
shown himself to be hypocrite, "a well
as crank.
