John BEATTY.

General Grosvenor's splendid endorse
ment of James E. Campbell as man, q
soldier, and citizen has made Foraker's
contingent desperatei It seems that no.
body in Ohio was equal to the emergency,
so an experienced artist, an attache Of the
National Republican committee, who
served under Matt Quay in the last
campaign, was called to Columbus, to
give birth to something that would stay
the rising tide and beat Campbell. This
mans name is Loomis. He has been one
of the hangers on about Foraker and for
sometime was State Librarian. Having
called to his aid Colonel John
Entrekin, of Ross County, he
launched the bold statement that L.
T. Neal was beaten by the use of money
at the Dayton convention. Loomis was
not in Ohio and Entrekin was not in
Dayton at the time of the Democratic
Convention. But there was in attend
ance at the convention dozen of the
brightest and best reporters of the Re-
publican press in Ohio. They were all
on guard! They had instructions to
keep vigil day and night, and watch
with sleepless eyes the movements of
every member of the gang" They
did that! Their daily reports to their
respective papers show how well they
did it. They observed the s'gang" in
the superbest style of the art, but not
one of them saw, heard or charged that
money was used to influence the vote OF
single delegate. 1t remains for two
gifted persons of peerless Imagination
and limitless gall to discover
Of Of hot
:sboodle'' was used to nominate
Mr.. Campbell and defeat Mr.. Neal, and
Col. (not in the war; Entrekin, makei
Hon. Lawrence T. Neal responsible fol
this statement Mr.. Neal has long been
political opponent of John Entrekin's 81
He knows that he is the master of the
meanest of methods in political trickery
| But as soon as he reaches Chllllcothe,
after the Dayton Convention, honest L.
T. Neal takes tricky John Entrekin to
his bosom, and in 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 L
Neal knows that these gentlemen have
never been guilty of making confidant
of Col. lin times of peace) Entrekin
But he says they did! And Chillicotht
was too small to hold him and his unborn
baby, and he hastens to Columbus, CALI
in Midwife Loomis and gives birth tt
the following baby, which was dressed
up in the Times-Star and presented to I
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, tina
money was used in a direct, corrup
manner to influence certain delegate
from Hooking and an adjacent county o
two 1t is further said that Mr.. Nea
and his Chillicothe friends point out
score of places where money was use'
by the Campbell men, and in some in
stances they saw an actual transfer @
currency, followed by change in tn
votes of certain delegates from Neal t
; Campbell"

. which cowardly insinuates but fears t
