HERE YOU ARE.
Just the Evidence Civil Service Commits
sioner Roosevelt Wanted.
The Ohio RepubIi Executive Committee
Demands Campaign Contributions From
Government Clerks:
GRAIN ALL RIGHT.

| Gazette to-day prints an extract from
letter received from its correspondent at
| Galveston to the effect that notwlth-
standing the frantic efforts of the Re-
publicans in the Seventh district, Grain
will be reelected by good m ajoritE.
| The correspondent SAYS. ''Ochiltree
carried this district once By about 300
| majority, but since then Grain has been
| elected 10 the three congresses aud he will
| come back again. He has made q hard
canvass and has done splendid service
for Galveston. His opponent will be
| showed UNDER
NOTHING SMALL ABOUT OHIO.
The Republicans, it seems, are des-
perate. They want more money and the
department clerks must give up the
stuff OF DO blaoklisted. The Ohio
| state executive committee first began
the circular business, copy of which
! was printed in these dispatches last
| week. II had some eject the clerks
| credited TO Ohio, but not enough to sat
| isfy the committee, SO another circular
| with
THUMB SCREWS ATTACHED
| has been sent all the government en-
ploves from Ohio who failed TO respond
to the first call Tor contributions. 1t is
safe 10 say that this latest ''appeal'' will
have a wholesome effect in bringing the
delinquent contributors up to time. Here
Is the circular:
COLUMBUS, OHIO. Oct. %, 1890.
DEAR SIR-Hsve you done your duty
as q Republican and officeholder? If so,
your name does not appear on our list.
We are making the best tight we can TO
elect enough congress 1Inen from Ohio TO
save the next house to the Republicans.
You are certainly interested in this mat
ter, and ought to he willing TO bear
YOUR SHARE OF THE BURDEN.
You ought not expect others TO do the
labor and permit you 10 enjoy the emolu-
ments. We know that you are a Repub-
liCan and when we say to you confiden-
TALLY that we are handicapped for want
of funds TO pay our legitimate expenses,
we believe and trust that you will call on
Mr.. William Mays and make fair and
liberal contribution or send direct to US.
1t Is not too late 10 do good and your
contribution may elect one more Repub-
lican. Respectfully,
REPUBLICAN STATE EXECUTIVE Conf
MITTEE.
This last appeal virtually admits that
the Democrats will have the next house
by small majority, but for til purpose
of squeezing more money from the clerks
1t intimates that Ohlo may yet save the
house TO the Repu Dlicaus 10y elecIiug one
more Republican with 'your contrIUu-
ton. Ciyn Service Commissioner
Roosevelt can now get after the ONO
committee with q sharp stick, as the
above appeal is clear violation of the
civil service law.
