FOR EMPTY HONORS.

Ohio Republicans Are WrspgiiDg for the
Senatorial Compliment.
CINCINNATI, Jsnusry 2.-Fighting for
an empty homer is a new thing in Ohio
politics. During the last campaign one OF
the largest contributors to the Republican
fund was Ex.Gov. Charles Foster. He
alec used great des, of money in paying
the campaign expenses Of the candidates
for Representatives and Senator's. 1t wss
we'll known that if the Republicans should
carry the Legislature Mr.. Foster would be
sent to the Senate. The other candidates
were purely ornamental. Bat the Demo
Gratis won, aud now the Republicans are
fl ,hting hard and fast among themselves
trying to gain the empty compliment for
their favorite candidates.
As might be expected, the prince Of dis
turbers, Gov Foraker, is the cause of the
row. Foraker would be glad to have the
compliment OF the Republican nomination
for Senator. The Governors friends say
he stood the brunt of the battle in the last
camDAlRQ anu WIS Luhuc thC OniJ
They say that he made q game fight
against host of enemies in his own party,
and it would be 70 more than right that
he receive the caucus nomination.
This announcement caused a ripple Of
excitement among the friends of Foster,
and Congressmen Mckinley, Butterworth
and Grosvanor, who have as much love fer
Foraker as the devil has for holy water.
They have something to say ebout the
matter, and want Foraker TO understand
it. Now there is trouble. Foraker has
decided thst he must carry eff the empty
prize, and has so notified his followers,
who are using their old tactics. They sre
using knives and bludgtous in daylight
and dark TO b .at "Cslico Charley" For
aker's open fight on Foster has caused the
other factions to centre on Foster "a tber
choice and they promise to make it warm
for Blood and Thunder Joe.
