OF the Cincinnati TlmcEStar and was
quoted as expressing Mr., Meals dissatls-
fection with Mr., Campbell and the re-

hardly possible that q shrewd politician
like Mr. Neal would open his heart to

Nevertheless, as happened 10 be In

FRANK HARPER on gNTREKIN's EccEN-
rmcITMs.
After leaving Mr. Nenl / called on Mr.
Frank Harper the editor Of the Chilli
Gothic Advertiser He was the original
Neal boomer, and perhaps tho closest
man 10 Mr. Neal in his candidacy for the
nomination Tor Governor.
When Mr.. Harper read the Entrel,in
Interview he said
"That is q lie. Mr. Neal never talked
that way, and mover thought that way,
because was with him at the conven-
tion and after II. Tho Chillicotho dele
cation OF 800 that went 10 Dayton were
che sweetest losers that ever returned
from u convention In this State. Wo
went up enthusiastic for Neal and ro-
turned enthusiastic for Campbell and
wearing Campbell badges, Some Of us
eyen woro Campbell pictures in our hat
bands. In this spirit Mr., Neal was 40
lively participant.
"Colonelllntrek has peculiar habit
Of thinking Of things the way he
would like TO have them and thon put
ting The words in other peoples mouths.
That is the way he has in law suits and
some other matters.
"Nir. Neal is right when he says
ntatement from Entrel,in NJ second hand
should not be worthy Of attention, No
attention whatever will be paid 10 IL
horo, whore Colonel Entrckin's eccen-
tricitios OF mouth are so we'll known.
In addition Mr., H0rper's estimate Of
tL,tsle Peterkin "Entrelsin's capacity as
a perycrtor Of truth, II should be stated
that he is an ardent Foraker man, and
was tho Governors candidate for speak. |

rolising from tho Legislature Mr.. Entire
