COLUMBUS, o., June ia Ne.as re.
porter has had an interview with John G.
Doren, editor Of the Dayton Democrat. Mr.
Doren Is man Of answering political in
ltegrity, and is most emphatically opposed
1 to the Kid or Doodle element Of the Dem
ocratic party. He, together, with other
eminent Mossbacks, believes that Allen
G. Thurman is the greatest man in the
Democratic party to-day, and it is not sur
prising that he should express himself as
freely as he did at the treatment he had
received at the hands Of his party, or,
rather, Of an element which has gained
possession of the party machine. When
asked what he thought OF the Republican
ticket, Mr.. Doren replied: ),
.It Is remarkably strong one, and but
little can be said against it." :.
"Whom do you favor as the Democratic
candidate for Goyernor?"-
"Well, that Is hard TO tell, but Ithink
that Hoadly should make the race. He
took his chances two years ago, and was
elected. Now he should take his chances
q second time and be defeated. He foist-
cd himself upon the party then, and now
the party should make him run. The Re-
pubiicans have thrown down the chal-
ienge, and he is coward II he does not
take It up.n
"Do g, you consider him the strongest
mo, sir; he is not, but who else can we
nominate? The Kids want to kill him of,
and should he be nominated, they would
cut the heart out Of him aud trade him
of for members ofthe Legislature
THE DOODLE BOSS.
"Do you think that John R. Mclean Is
q candidate for the U. S. senate?n
@siost assuredly 1 do. II he isn't, i
would like TO know why he and his gang
are tearing their shirts and working like
beavers TO set up the pins in different
parts Oh the State. have no doubt but
the Doodle Boss would give three.fourths
Of all he Is worth to tit in Thurman's 'sseat,
but don't think Ohio will ever be dis
graced by such an event coming to pass"
II would judge then that you were not
overy confident OF Democratic success in
Ohio this fall?"
swell, that is true. i don't SEQ but one
way for such contingency 10 be brought
about, and that is for the pai ty not 70 re-
nominate q single member Of the Legisla-
ture who voted for Payne, or who made
the Senatorial election an everlasting dis
grace to the State, The convention should
repudiate that whole business, and de-
clare that the Sixty-sixth General Assem-
bly, was the most corrupt ever known in
the history OF the State, and that the rule
Of the Doodle Boss and his gang OF pi-
rates should be broken at once and for
ever. II they would then nominate some
good, pure Democrat, and insert plank
In the platform that it was the sense Of
the convention that Allen G. Thurman
should be elected U. s. Senator, there
might be some show Of carrying the State
REPUBLICAN CHANCES.
1tthis is not done, and the doodle gang
remain in control, the Republicans will
carry the State by 5000 to $1,000 major
ity. OF course, il the convention should
adopt such course, aud drive out those
who have disgraced the party, We would
lose some votes; but for every Doodle
vote lost We would gain three Republicans
who are opposed to the use Of Doodle in
elections. Both parties are cursed with
such gangs, but do think that ours
eclipses the world in meanness and lack
OF principle. They were successfulin buy.
| ing a seat in the Senate two yearsago, and
knowing how 1t was done, propose to do
the same thing over again, and, in fact,
extend the operations of tho ring until
they seize on every Office Of profit in the
State or Government"
"Why is Colonel Thompson, Of Cleve-
land, circulating through the State at such
q lively rate2"
"I suppose Tor the purpose Of setting up
the pins Tor the Doodle Boss Thompson
Is one Of the biggnns Of the Standard Oil
Company, and as Mclean was useful in
electing Payne, that corporation now has
TO return the compliment and help elect
him."
