HARMONY WITH A mac m.

Tho readers Of tho Cincinnati papers
this week, without regard to politics,
must be fit subjects for lunatic asylum
II they fail TO see the result OF political
boses in the pnst eight or ten years.
Coke -Old-Boyn got In his work in
great shnpe at the Cincinnati Republic
can Convention on Tuesday. There
was even a dcnd silence In Washington
on that day watching every movement
with hated breath over the struggle be-
tween the Cox and Eshelby factions.
The dispatches from Washington from
"F. d. NJ" to the Commercial Gazette
were devoted almost entirely to that
convention. We quote:
"There is holding back and waiting
for the result of the Cincinnati election,
especially in connection with tho stand
Ohio Republicans have chosen, more
particularly the gallant and uncom-
promising position the Commercial Ga
zettc has taken. With that the Repub-
licans here express themselves enthusi-
astically in accord, and indorse the
course Of the Commercial Gazette in
taking the bull by the horns right here
and right now, and having the matter
settled and done with. 1t is better to
deal with this subject in a municipal
than State election, and the result OF
the Cincinnati election will be full Of
significance.
If Coxism is to rule the metropolis of
of Ohio, then the Republicans of Ohio
generally should know 1t, and il 1t does
30 then the State Convention must con-
vene under such influences and pre-
dominance.
Perhaps the Republicans of Cincinnati
do not themselves appreciate the i'm
rortance of the eir city election, so far, at
least, Us its national significance is con-
cerned-and that is good deal.
The President himself said to-day
that he was deeply concerned in the
Cincinnati election, and felt that the
outcome of it would be OF great impor-
tance to the party"
The convention was n regular "mon-
key and parrot" affair, with "Coxie. Old.
Boy" on top in test vote of 2201S
to 0316 for Eshelbybfor Comptroller.
Gus Young told Capt. Ed. Anthony (of
the old 9th o. V. I.) that "you were
nothing but damned boodler when you
were working for John Mclean, q
and to sustain the reputation of the old
9th Cap. pegged him in the eye, "on
sight" A half hour latter Young made
a rear attack by striking Cap. in the
back Of the head, when Gus Giseke, a
local politician and pugilist got in his
work on Young. 1t was a jolly time.
The Times-Star bolts the Republican
ticket in double-lcaded editorial on its
first page headed Republicans, Rally p
1t begins by asking II "the honest and
self-respecting Republicans OF Cincinnati ;
will submit 10 the dictation of the gang
and support candidates who are creatures
oil dark lantern conspiracy ?"
1t continues as follows:
1--WE do not believe that they will 30
abuse themselves. They have rights, and
1t is high time TO sssert their independence
oil gutter politicians within the party. So
far as the Times.Star is concerned ii will
oppose the ticket named to-day at Work.
mems hail." And then closes by calling
for mas convention of Republicans at
Music hall within a few days to nominate
candidates for city Offices and calls upon
the Republicans OF Cincinnati to "ihrow
off the collar OF bosssm Rerudiate
strangers and their infamous methods
Let il now be demonstrated that the Re
publican party will not consent TO be
dragged into the mire |"
