CIyCINyArI, June lO.-The cold wave
yesterday seems to have produced quite an
impression on the political atmosphere here
where it should have been red hot and still a
heating tor j. B Foraker 1t is true that
be has the Hamilton county delegation,
bat not solid BY any means, and it need not
surprise anybody il it should cast twenty
votes agai st him on the first ballot.
There is no vim in the metropolitan dele
CATION for their home candidate. Ihe
negative quality OF Its friendship is chilling
to all and is really appalling to some Of the
friends Of Little Breeches, and they are
prepared for anything. They hope tor'the
best, and the best may happen, but there Is
no coneealiDg the fact that there is great
Lack of Enthusiasm
here where one would materially expect to
ind IL IN favor Of Foraker.
There is only about one IN five who sp-
pears to be aware that the Republicans hold
their State convention tomorrow, and but
few of them who seem to take the slightest
interest in the matter. The sullen attitude
and the ominous mutterings of the colored
voter of this city and in all parts OF the
State is what is frightening the Foraker
men and filling them with doubt as to the
Adyisabiity OF nominating him, even If the
majority of the delegates should conclude
to do 60.
One of Foraker's warmest friends said to
me to-day:
"It would be suicide in 3 political sense to
mt him in nomination. He is 8 splendid
man and would make = good Governor, bat
fate is sgainst him. He will have to wait
eight or ten years for political preferment.'
"Why?' l asked.
Because
The CoIorsd Voters
hold the balance of power between the two
parties in Ohio, and mo e ii n one-tbird of
It is bhudly sgainst Foraker, and no power
on earth can change it. The only thing to
be done is 20 let the prejudice die out which
II will do in a few years; but at present 1t IS
immoyable"
There is q colored club here which is to 60
up 10 Springfield tomorrow whooPlng for
Foraker, but il deceiyes no one. The whole
thing is a trick OF the trade, managed by
the cock fighting statesman, Major Boo |
Harlan, and is looked On as q sort OF bur !
lesoue. For so much money Bob has con- |
trseted to furnish 80 much colored enthusi- |
asm. and he won't furnish q cents worth |
more than is called for by the bond.
/ am told today that while 1t Is believed I
Eoraker has now strength enough 70 secure |
the nomination, q conference viii be held
fc-piaht at Springfield which viii result in
convincing the participats that bis nominA'
