hundreds OF miles aIaf, Wnat
doodle" was used to nominate
Mr.. Campbell and defeat Mr.. Neal. and
Col. mot in the war) Entrekin, makes
Hon. Lawrence T. Neal responsible for
this statement! Mr.. Neal has long been
political opponent Of John Entrekin'sl
He knows that he is the master of the
meanest Of methods in political trickery.
But as soon as he reaches ChillicOthe,
after the Dayton Convention, honest L.
T. Neal takes tricky John Entrekin to
his bosom, and in a burst of confidence
tells his bitterest political foe how badly
he was beaten by doodle" Does this
look like the ways of an honest, sensible
man? Any honest man in Chillicothe
who knows DR.. Nipgen and Lawrence T.
Neal knows that these gentlemen have
never been guilty of making conf1dant
of Col. lin times of peace) Entrekin!
But he says they did! And Chillicothe
was too small to hold him and his unborn
baby, and he hastens to Columbus, calls
in Midwife Loomis and gives birth to
the following baby, which was dressed
up in the Times-Star and presented to q
waiting world:
''Mr. Meals Indictment of the Camp
bell machinists is in plain language.
He charges that Hon. James E. Camp
bells nomination was bought, that
money was used in a direct, corrupt
manner to influence certain delegates
from Hooking and an adjacent county or
two 1t is further said that Mr.. Neal
and his Chillicothe friends point out
score of places where money was used
by the Campbell men, and in some in
stances they saw an actual transfer of
currency, followed by change in the
votes of certain delegates from Neal to
Campbell"
There is q column of this timid stuff,
which cowardly insinuates but fears to
specify.
What men were seen paying money!
Give US their names. Let them be
promptly arrested and severely pun
ished. This is the way to do busi-
ness. This is the way to clinch this
story and drive Mr.. Campbell off of the
ticket and end the campaign. Foraker's s
trusty spy, who hid in the penitentiary
water closet, while convict, told his
skin cane and tally-sheet story, was at
Dayton watching and praying for some
thing to turn up to save Foraker. Did
he hear and see any thing of this kind?
If so, out with the facts and end the ag-
ony of the contest. But if this baseless
policy of partisan falsehood falls in
ruins, the short-sighted ibelers have
strengthened the massive and immova-
BILE foundations of honesty and truth,
upon which Campbell stands, and rem
dered his election more certain. The
honest people of all parties in Ohio will
not brook for an instant this shameful
attempt to stain the good name and the
spotless reputation of an upright citizen
like James E. Campbell. The Times
Star hesitates before believing and we'll
says: THE allegation lacks every thing
to make it positive and to the point"
Since writing the above Hon. Lawrence
7. Neal, in plain and unmistakable
words, brands the statement as false,
and does not leave splinter upon which
to hang the remains. Colonel Entrekin
is not feeling so we'll since his encouch-
ment, and Midwife Loomis is very i'll!
Will this disastrous first attempt pre-
vent similar blunders, or will the fool
ish enemy persist in increasing Camp
bells majority by other attempts?
