CUT HIMSELF LOOSE.
The Boom Exploded by Allen
o, Myers in the Ranks
OF THE DEMOCRATS OF OHIO,
How Es Went Back on John IT, Mo-
Loan and Calls on Democrats not
to Support tho Boodlers-ln'
terestIng Developments.


CINclSNATr, Ono, Nov, l5,-Allen o
Myers has really cut himself loose, HI
has not as yet gone so far as to partlcu
larize, but his last talk deals in mort
than generalities. Allen is a genius
Every one in Ohio knows him, nor il
his fame confined to his State. While
erratic at times, and probably indiscreet
Allen has never been "any mans d.
fool" and those who know him will say
80. He has thrown oil tho yoke aud i
now talking for himself, OF course hli
resignation from Enquirer leaves hiu
without employment, but Mr.. Myers will
not lack for funds for some time, as II Il
known that he won heavily on the re-
cent election as q backer Of Campbell,
Then he has an offer OF half interest in
weekly pictorial paper Of this city
which is named after an animal noted
for throwing the harpOon.
DoE'T WANT M'LEAN,
1t is plain that Mr., Myers does not
want John II, Mclean togo to the United
States Senate, and 1t Is seQually plain that
he does not want any man to cit In that
chamber OF dignity whose candidacy Is
looked upon with iavor by Mr.. Mclean.
Charley Baker, our, own Adonis, the
Apollo Belvidere OF the Democratic
arena, glides off to Washington, has u
conRultntiOn with John r, Mclean and
comes back with the announcement that
ho ia a candidate for Henry S. Payne's
shoes. Simultaneous with this an'
nOunCement Comts one that John r
Mclean Is not q candidate in any sense
This arrangement was too much for
Allen o. Myers, and tho wormwood was
added to the gall when Lewis q. Bernard
had hand In the deal. A thing OF
beauty did not, to Allen, appear as a Joy
forever, and he stralghtaway declared
himself against Baker,
Allen met Baker on the street only
yesterday, and said to him: "You're a
nice one to be a candidate for United
States senator. You couldn't announce
yourself until you went 10 Washington
and saw John h. McLeal and obtained
his permission to run" Baker smiled
and passed on.
THE REIoNlSG SENSATION.
Tho reignipg sensation has been re-
marEsble speech made by Allen 0.
Myers, tho we'll known correspondent Of
the Enguirr, at q club reception tender
ell to 'GoV6rRor.eleGt Campbell. Mr..
Myers was at his best, and during the
course Of his remarks, which were pune.
tuated by applause aud laughter, he di'
yulged a few State secrets, admitting
that they were such. Among other
things Mi. Myers said;
~ speak TO you as O man who has
been lising bis voice and his pen in be-
bali Of the Democratic party for II years.
l want to say that ! wear no mapI's
collar and never did, and rather than do
80 would 90 into the streets with q
pick and shovel. Cheers am here
looking into the faces OF u great many
men, and all ask Is that you think the
honest iu what ! say.
" see among ys 2 number oil men who

are older than l, and some are younger,
"But let me implore you not to vote

tor. Loud cheers Don't doit. Don't

thing tha. Is not for sale, and that Is pub

expressing myself.
In all political circles, Myers speecl
wag tApBgle topic Of conversation. Pick
away's independence Ii so well knowt
that no Que for a mopent dopRt
his sincerity. Republicans ConRratu
lated themselves over the interneCin,
fight he bad inaugurAted among til,
Democrats, while the latter evidenced
their uneaSiness by getting MussbaCI
Neal, klilliongjEe Thomas aud Governor
elect Campbell into the gllY, where the!

lative delegates.
ono charge Of Myers produced an
other sensation. Someone aGked biu
what he meant by his speech. "Jus
