THEY ARE BOWLING MAD.


WASHINGTON, d. C. May 14.-[Spe-
ciaI. l-At this hour the strain upon the
Ohio Republican congressman TO repress
their emotion over the redistrlcfin9
news has produced relaxation and they
are frantic and congregated in the tele-
graph Office. An indignation meeting
was held In the restaurant and Secre-
tary Robinson and x-Governor Foster
buried under an avalanche Of profane
denunciation. Grosvenor and Little
are profuse In cursing the idiocy of their
Ohio brethren. Judge Thompson.
though more judicial does not snare the
vocabulary. The train that bore State
Auditor Klesewetter and ex-Chairman
Capellar home to the Buckeye State to-
night also had Grosvenor and Little az
smoking car passengers, They refused
TO buy sleeping car berths, swearing
they could not sleep. Foster has
murdered sleep. Cooper feels Robin
son at his neck. Grosvenor Is wild,
Little knows he cannot carry his dis
trict. Mckinley is thought to be In
Ohio and Judge Laubie is at Columbus
with 1t all set up against him. Geddes
Is said to see seraphic vision. Ike
Taylor Is serene. SRomeis is not certain
he Is candidate. His contest cost
more than his first years salary. Eppa
Hunton, his lawyer, charged him 3d.

blue with imprecations. The ripper
bills add to tie fury Of indignation.

KENNEDY'sLATEsr BLUSDER.

fused 70 Ratify.

COLUMBUS, o., May l4 Especial. -
There was considerable excitement here
tonight when it was learned that Ken
nedy, on his own authority, had or
dered that vouchers for six hundred
dollars each be issued to the four Ham
ilton county frauds, who are helping
the Republicans run their rump Senate.
A few days ago Rannells arose and
asked to have the order Of business sus-
pended so that he might introduce q
niotiol to pay these sums, but the 9TH
ers refused to do this. II was generally
thought that this action meant that
several Republicans refused to become
parties to the steal. Nothing more was
done until this afternoon, when Ken
nedy, on the quiet, ordered one Of the
assistant clerks to I'LL out the vouchers
for full pay for the term to each, when
he signed them. No intimation Of his
act was given to the Eenates
Several Republican lawyers expressed
the opinion this evening that the ae tjbn
was Illegal and will not hold. It ID cet-
tain that the gentlemen in question
will have hard work getting any money,
for protest will be filed with the audi
tor against payment, and they willhaye
to resort to the courts. George Il. Con-
verse will be Auditor Kiesewetter's at

were very much incensed when they
learned of this, and said they would
never have voted for it. Kennedy ID

An amusing story is told of the way
in which VIM. FL. Vanderbilt once
overreached his father, the commodore.
William wanted manure from the
Fourth Avenue car-stables for his
Staten island farm, and ask his father
what he would charge for ten loads.
,aWhat'll you give?n asked the commo-
dore. TITS worth $4 q load to me, y
said the farmer. Good enough, I'IIlet

railroad man, having decided impress
sion that the price was at least twice as
much as the stuff was worth. Next day
he found his rustic son with q scow just

Democrats Coming solidiy to the Sup.
port ofthe President.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May l2.-At q
meeting Of tile Ohio Democratic asso-
citation Hon. w. ID. Hill made stir
ring address. He told to an interested
audience the story of the peoples con-
yentionp engineered by George e.
Pugh, Tom Ewing and Doane Cum
ningham, which met at Columbus to dis
organize the Democratic party. He sat
In the rear Of the hall and committee
was selected to solicit Thurman's coop

presented the object its visit. Thur
man asked what were the dimensions
of the room.
About 20 by 10,n was the answer.
That is too small space In which
to break up the Democratic party,n
roared the ex-senator.
Mr.. Hill then told how Ohio was re-
versed, Allen elected and Thurman
made Senator. He then made signifi-
cant remarks of the right kind, eulogiz-
ing the President and declaring that the
people were impressed by his Integrity
and the solid sense of his administrn-
ton. Though the speaker believed the
civil service law humbug, he

with congressional mania, but knew no
district could be carved out to even
nominate him, much less elect him.
He ended by asserting that one more
kicking would end the Republican par
ty. Eevery party had gone down be-
fore the Democracy. The speech was
heartily applauded and emphasizes the
fact that the President has won the con-
fidenee Of his party and compelled COM
mendation. The congressional commit
tee Is headed by Senator Kenna, and
there Is to be no factional opposition to
the administration. General Denver

Penitentiary, and thus the murder of
Granville G. Loomis has been atoned
for. Grover died the same cold blooded,
heartless, unrepentant man.
| Yesterday afternoon after the Dis
patch went to press Warden Peetrey
began to be worried about the non-arri-
val Of Sheriff Brown from Cincinnati.
The statement made Tat the Coroner
of Wood county had arrived yesterday
was wrong, as that gentleman did not
come at ell, and when Warden Peetrey
discovered that he had been misinform-
ed in regard to this, his troubles SEEM
ed even more complicated. Under the
provisions Of the Zimmerman law the
Warden or deputy must perform the
executions, and this news came to
Warden Peetrey late in the afternoon
through Alto. ley General Koehler. a.
consultation took place between these
gentlemen, and, as q result, Attorney
General Koehler advised him to let
Sheriff Brown, of Wood county, offici-
ate, since the order of the Court ex-
pressly named him. This was satisfac-
tory to the Warden, but the fact that
Sheriff Brown was between here and
Cincinnati, and that the Coroner had
not arrived, made the whole so embar-
rassing that any man would have been
in a quandary.
All turned out all right, for Sheriff
Brown came In on the Midland railroad
at IL o'clock, brisk and bussiness-like.
He at once proceeded to hotel and
met his Wood county assistants and
spectators there, and then proceeded to
