THE THIRD DISTRICT GAME.
A DlsgruntIed Republican Talks Away
From Home.

Columbus, Ohio, hegira, he dropped hint
of another piece of work by the same par
ties, which will be interesting to your read
ers.
II suppose the Republican party is in
prime condition, is it not?'
"Prime! It's like ancient eggs, past
due"
what is the NATTER"
81 tell you, you fellows dropped on the
Columbus circular and gave the gang
racket ROm which they have not yet re-
covered. You followed that up with
pretty true account of the alleged confer
ence proceedings, and played the very
deuce then with Hart, White, Hutchin-
1 son, Hawkins, and others of the syndicate.
But there is another matter you have yet
failed to secure"
Lets have it, for goodness sake"
''Pll tell you, if you'll keep my name
out Of the papers"
| 'Of course"
| well, you understand that we old reg
ulars have been counted out in this fight
Our advice and assistance have not been
asked, and the gang have notified us by
their actions that they propose to run this
campaign to suit themselves, regardless of
consequences. Now we are all going TO
stand from under and avoid the smash
which is coming"
| is that all?''
Not by 4 great deal"
''Let it go"
''lhe gang, in their secret caucus, named
the men they proposed to run for Congress
in the First, Fourth and Third districts.
In the First, Captain b. +. DOvener will
he the nominee" "
How about Hubbard?''
"Oh, he don't pull up well and the kids
will shelvc him"
''How abOut the FOurth?"
''HOn. John A. Hutchinson will proba
! bly, be the nominee"
The Third?'
There you had the arrangement in your
| report Of Hawkins leak. The PrOhibi-
| tiOniStS are to nominate Bob Carr of
! ChaleSton; the GreenbackerS are to in
duccd TO endorse him, and then the Re
publcans will also endorse him. The
trade-Otl for votes for the House OF Dele
gates was correctly stated"
That is solid information"
well; but that's not all. The biggest
thing is this: The party will nominate a
man for Congress in this District with the
express intention OF trading him off ut
every voting precinct for votes for House
of Delegates and State Senate
Hold ON; you don't mean this"
"Ies, do, ! mean that anything and
everything is to be done to elect Goll to
the Senate. The party is to be sacrificed
everywhere, individuals. offices honor and
integrity is to be consigned to eternal
oblivion in order TO get Nate Goif into
the Senatorial chair"
is this pretty well undcrstoOd?'
The arrangement has been perfected by
the gang. GOff will not be
"a candidate for Congress un-
der any circumstance. 1t would interfere
with the programme, and then there are
paIticS who would contest the Senatorial
seat with him if he were to run and be
elected to Congress on the ground that he
WAS already elected to an important office
which could not be spared and for other
reasons. However, he's not going to run,
and the bargain aud boOdlc-trade-
are to effected at any price"
What will be the result of the cam
paign in your district
The district will elect a Democrat
"lIow is the party in Ohio county,
"Wc are are badly disrupted in Wheel .
ing, and to cap the climax that sEide rcSO-
luton Of White, Hutchinson 4 Co., has
Just about settled us with the German and
foreign element of this and other counties
The men who made our parks and pleasure
l., L., Il in
tcrcStcd in our manufacturing interests,
are kicking strenuously. They claim that
the subtcrtugr is u great injury TO them,
and that nobody can place any confidence
i'm party which Straddlcs such IN impOr
tant question. Now, know that We will .
lose many votes among the Republicans
and will not gain any from the PrOhibi- |
3 iOnistS.'
Anything for Goff is it,
That's the ticket, exactly. He doesn't !
care snap for the party only TO accom-
pliSh his selfish personal ends.
"Are there many men like yOu?'
"IeS, more than you imagine. The !
Sclt-rcpSpccting party men dO not propose /
To lend any assistance or even TO acqul- |
cSce in amy such an arrangement"
What are YOU going to dO?H
I'VE propose to let the gang 20 on and !
get thrlShcd and then we will again take !
up the rcinS and manage the grand old
party in an honest, fair way, We don't
want to be- held responsible for the defeat |
that's coming, and consequently stand
aside"
Later in the day interviewed a number |
of leading Democrats on the condition of
the party in Ohio country and the dis
trict.
Anumber of prominent Democrats were |
spoken of us good material for House of
Delegates and State Senate. Among them
were the following named gentlemen:
Nh e. u. Brown, ex-Sheritf. gentle
man not identified with any factions; pop F.
ular with the working classes; atlable; OF |
equitable temperament and just the man |
to bring out the full vote of Ohio, Brooke .
and Hancock. His name is prominent rs
a Senatorial candidate.
Col. J. 4. Miller, eX-MayOr, 4 prOmi- |
nent gentleman of worth and ability, Hon.
X. &. Barr, attorney, and Others are also
mentioned.
Among the popular proposed candidates
for House of Delegates are Ed. Robertson, |
L. :. Riley, MeSSrs. 4. ID. Garden, Col |
Peter Delaplain, DR.. Geo. Cracratt, ChaS. |
f. BrandflsS, John G. Hoffman, Sr., John |
II. Hall, Charley Seabright, Col. Joe
Woods, and John o. PendletOn. 4 selec-
tion would be difficult to make from all
this material and talent. There are
dozens of Others, to be sure, and the party |
is not short of material.
A review of the Ohio county and First |
district convinceS one that the party is |.
in first-claSs condition and ready to finish |
what is left of the Neill House hegirists |
and catlOftical professors Of political bum
