Hon. r. Q. Mills to Talk 20 the FARMERS
Campaign In Good shape.

Campaign In Good shape.
COLUMBUS, O., September 1s.-The
friends of Sherman and Foraker are not
backward in stating that II they cannot
secure their own choice for Senator
they will not support each other, pre-
ferlng to take up third man, and 1t
now looks as if Charley Foster would be
the recipient of any hoDors that the
kickers may want to dispose OF.
Within the past three or four days
positiye information has been received
that Mckinley has been appealed to by
the Foraker men to aid them In their
fight. or else he will go down in defeat,
while on the other hand the Sherman
men claim Mckinley and all his friends
and, If by chance the Legislature should
be Republican. many known Sherman
men who have been nominated
for the Senate and the House openly
declare that they will not vote for For
aker in any event.
II these men should keep their pledges
Foraker will never receive the commits
sion, but that Foster, who first discov-
cred him, will be the recipient OF the
Foraker vote, and from the Sherman
men he can secure strength enough TO
secure the Senatorial plum.
This last scheme is the outgrowth OF
considerable scheming among three OF
four members Of the committee over
which Hahn presides. Hahn has re-
ceived within the past two days up
wards of S35, 900 from the employees OF
the State Board of Public Works, State
officials and federal Office holders, and
on Thursday of this week will receive
about $4,000 from Philadelphia and
Pittsburg, and about the middle OF DC
tober it is said syndicate will furnish
any amount Of money desired by the
Republican Committee.
One of the clerks of the Republican
State Executive Committee says that the
campaign will not cost Mckinley one
cent OF money, and all that'he would be
ont in the event Of defeat is his time,
and that will be we'll paid for by the
tariff robbers of the Eastern States, who
estimate that McKinley's time and the
work performed for them is worth
about $40, ZOO year.
This same clerk stated that the at
taches of the committee from Chairman
Hahn down to the messenger were re-
ceivlng nearly double the salaries ever
before paid.
Col. James E. Neal is acknowledged
to be one OF the easiest men to approach
that ever held the position OF chairman
of either party committee, and to bis
credit be it said that he has worked ike
Trojan and has gotten things IN o
most excellent shape.
Two years ago many leaders of the
party two weeks before the election
were of the opinion that Foraker would
be elected, but Neal in an interview
stated that Campbell would beat Fora
ker 10, 900 votes and that both branches
OF the Legislature would be Democratic.
1t is his opinion at the present time
before the campaign is opened that
Campbell will have larger majority
over Mckinley than he had over Fora
ker, and that the Legislature, notwith-
standing the Poe-Ryan robbing scheme,
will be Democratic in both branches.
In few days Chairman will announce
the list of speakers who will show to the
people OF Ohio why the Mckinley rob-
Der tariff bill should be repealed, and
that reform tariff lew should be upon
the statute books Of this great country.
One appointment that has been made
will give the farmers chance to learn
something Of the truth OF tariff reform.
1t will come from the lips OF the great
Texas orator, Rodger Q. Mills, and he
will speak at Mansfield, September 10th,
Delaware, the 21st. Springfield, the Esd,
Circleville, the Gath, Lancaster, the 25th,
Newark, the Goth, and Chillicothe, the
goth.
Col. Meals scheme of having the
Democratic Governors here on the 9th
of October has cause the Republican
committee to make arrangements for a
meeting at Dayton on October oath, and
letters entreating Mckinley, Foraker
and Sherman to come together there
and bury the Ratchet was consumated
last night and letters sent out this
morning.
