The Latter Talked Plainly and VIII Aahe .
Hot Fight for senator.
Special to the Philadelphis Press.
CINCINNATI, July 2l.--Among the early callers
on Senator sherman this morning ives eI-Gov
Foraker. According to the former the meet
ing resulted in pleasant exchange Of views on
the coming senatorial contest
There is another account Of the conference,
however, coming from the ex-governor him
self, which puts the matter in an nsirsly differ
ent light Just after leaving the Senator he
met Collector Amor Smith in the lobby Of the
hotel
81 Just want to remind You while Il 10 hot. IS
| said Foraker, that what told You some
days ago when you came from Sherman, and
which you denied, is true. 1 brought il MP TO
the Senator just now and be admitted it"
Then the ex-governor went over lis in tervfew
with the Senator. As the story goes the ex-
governor pointedly told the Senator:
You know that you, Foster. Mckinley,
Thompson, Kennedy and Grosvenor have been
secretly arrayed against me and trying 20
squeeze me out You know, too, that Foster
viii be candidate for Senator"
The report goes further, to the effect that For
aker charged Sherman with having an under
standing with Foster that II the Senator found
he could not WIN he should throw bis strength
to Foster. The two men were in conference FOR
nearly half an hour and in the Senator'S room,
and when they parted II was with a display OF
considerable politeness az the door. Il Was no
secret that when Grosvenor realized that Fora
ker was defeated for governor on the night Of
pressed his qualification at what he considered
the political death of the ex-governor. IL did
not take long for this to reach Fortker's ears.
Hence the ex7goyernors hatred Of the ex-
Congressman and the allusion in today's con-
ference.
In conservation NTH nm ,,.;,,ato S.;ua
Foraker declared that Sherman's candidacy
was merely blind, and that IL was en outrage
the Senator should lend himself to the scheme
bhQ had been told that he had no chance
for reelection; that he had been in The Senate
long enough; that now he should pay his politi-
cal debts by posing as a candidate, and after
the Legislature had been elected, retire in favor
OF Foster, who was to be suddenly sprung. L.
was the discovery OF this alleged plot that made
Foraker cross, and decided him 70 shy his
castor in the senatorial ring.
Among other callers on Sherman today was
George Cox, the Hamilton county boss. II il q
recognized fact that the votes from this county
have for many years past decided the senatorial
elections Hence the present anxiety among
the candidates. 1t is q foregone concIusion
that Foraker will make merciless fight against
Foster, who viii be supported by President
Harrison and the administration. Foster
claims the senafcrship because he Withdrew
and let Garfield be elected.
AZ a. AUeSNveN .ttiAb cNtuluE benotOf Ener-
man said: Gov Foraker and have always
been friends and am always glad 70 see him.
He has right TO the position be has taken in
regard to the senatorship, and II IL . proper
one; One man has just as much right to ~
tor 1t as another"
'Are Mckinley and Butterworth candidates
for Senator's
Il do not know, but they have . right 10 be.
what figure <ill this third party moyemeut
cut IN the state campaign"
well, that - very hard TO detsrmins, Jz-
ectly, but In most OF the counties whore the
political feeling IL democratic The Fsrmers
Alliance being q secret organization, YOU cam
not tell much about it; il may be hard at ,vork
In the republican counties also. But Am al
the opinion that the democrats viii suffer worst
from the movement. They seem to have an g.
pecial spite atane, principally, suppose. on 90
count OF my views on the financial question.
There IL something. too, in the name. They
think 70 turn out someone O. they did IneslS
In kansAs and % get great reputation"
