HOT FoR FORAKER.
. Very Lively Opposition 10 His Re-
nomination for GOFernOr.

4 Cincinnati special says: After waiting
TIL it has become certain tia General Harri-
son will be able TO form his Cabinet without
inviting bin TO take one Of the leading
places Governor Foraker has suddenly
caused it to hecome known thst ne will be
candidate the coming fall as Governor for
a thrd term. HIS purpose is believed to be
10 elect LEGISLATURE wblch he can control,
while protesting 10 be making caDpiign
for Governor, and throush the Legislature
thus chosen step into the United states Sem
,te at the close OF Mr.. Psyne's term. This
purpose has developed strong and unusually
outspokeu opposition among the Republican
leaders.
General Beatty in an interview published
this afternoon spc1ks In the most direct man
ner OF the preteusions OF the Governor, bis
bnundless ambition. swollen head. limited
capacity. and small way OF attracting atten-
tion to himself.
Richacd smith, the principal owner OF the
Toledo Commercial, is out editoriay In OPP
position TO Foraker, and it is said that the
Governor. by way OF furnishing Mr.. Smith.
has decided to withdraw the nomination OF
Charles FleisehnauD, 8 part owner OF the
Commercial for Director OF the LOngyiew
Insane Asylum.
Tue DAYTON journal and Columbus Jour
nal have taken up the Foraker fight, and
have begun at the outset tO lake use OF per-
soualities. It is said that senator sherman,
Representative Mckinley, Representative
BntterwoCth, General Grosvenor, and ex-
Governor Foster avoid the Governor, and
some OF them at least have ceased to be on
speaking terms with him.
Mr. smith, io an editorial In this morn
lng's Commercial Gazette 0f this city, OF
which be is part owner, explains over MS
own initials BIS reasons for opposing Go-
vernon Foraker. la closing he SAYS:
81 am Republican and desire the success
Of the Republican psrty. 10 this end hope
The party will make up its ticket OF men
who are free from personal antfgoDisms,
md who will receive the hearty and united
support Of Republicans. Furthermore, |
trust that candidates will be nominated for
the Legislature in every district Without
reference 10 the choice OF any particular
man for the Unred States senate. Tins Is
the way to success. and in my opinion It IS
toe only way the Republicans OF OOio can
rot be bossed. Any undertaking in that
direction would, in my opinion, insure de-
feat.
"Snch a fight cannot rage long without
resulting In the deiest OF the Republican
party at an election which involves The Sc
lection not only OF Governor and other
state officers, but OF LEGISLATURE which
will elect United States senator"
