Postmaster James NJ. Brown Of Toledo Ohio.
and who is probably as well posted politically
as any man in northwestern Ohio, is in the city
upon business connected with his Office. To a
STAR reporter Mr.. Brown said this morning
that there was no doubt that Maj. Mckinley
would be nominated for governor by acclama-
tion at the republican convention that will
meet next Tuesday.
"who will be the candidate for lieutenant
GOVERNOR asked the reporter.
swell, can't tell definitely" was the reply;
'but we in northwestern Ohio are working
hard for Hon. Chas. P. Griffin. He is one Of
the brainiest men in that section of the state.
has had large experience in the legislature, 10
and Is farmer. We believe that
with Maj. Mckinley at the head Of
the ticket and with Farmer Griffin next we can
sweep the state. There is no doubt about re-
publican success anyway, but we want to roll
those who predicted that from last years re-
suits the democrats were making great head
hold"
=, lis there any truth in the reported disanec-
ton against Senator Sherman?'
SHERMAN ALL RreHr.
'Not word Senator Sherman has always
stood well with the people of his state, but
never better than today. Thirty-six years Of
public life show no errors on his part. He has
record OF no mistakes, but, on the contrary,
long line OF heroic acts, every one Of which
has tended to elevate and improve the condi-
tion OF the people. While not unwill-
ing to concede great men to all the
states, We of Ohio do not believe that
any state has greater man than John Sher-

TEEN, and am confident that were the demo-
Gratis called upon to choose from the republi-
cans of the state Senator they would almost
unanimously select him, because of his great
ability. sound judgment and answering tdei-
ity to the interests of the people"
How about the alleged farmers movement
against him?'
The farmers Of the state know that in Sena-
tor Sherman they have not only lifelong
friend, one who has always taken the liveliest
interest in their affairs, but one of wide infor-
nation, great experience and the courage and
ability to lead them in securing whatever meas
ures are necessary to their substantial good.
Hence the farmers of Ohio are and always will
be friendly to Mr.. sherman"
What weight will the alliance have in
Ohio?"
ALLIANCE WILL CUT NO FIGURE.
at will cut no serious figure, for the farm
ers Of Ohio have no grievances that are not
common TO Otner classes OF men. In TACT, they
did much better last year than the year before.
and this year promises them good returns.
Besides. the republican farmers Of Ohio know
that if they have particular wrongs to be righted
they can much sooner accomplish their desires
through the party of which they form the
greater part than to attempt it through the
medium Of q new party composed Of all the
dissatisfied elements Of all the parties in ex-
istence."
What has been your experience with the
postal servicey'
''It may be a little immodest for a postmaster
to speak on that subject, but have studied it
carefully outside well as within my own
bailiwick' aud 1 believe that the postal service
throughout the country has never been 30 eff
| cient and satisfactory as now. 1t is marvellous
| in its certainty and promptness and it is doing
more to improve and enrich the people than

medium has, in q short time, grown to man.
moth proportions, and its stock which in the
| beginning was below par, cannot now be had
for 400 per cent advance. The improved
methods, the zeal and energy thrown into
every department of the postal service by the
present administration is working wonders"
