A Member of His STAFF Finally Made Q
Delegate.
| As indicated in our news of Saturday
| the Republicans of Toledo had cat and
| dog fight In the county convention on
| Saturday. Mckinley came i'm for n good
share of the abuse from the Foraker Re-
| publicans. The Toledo journal OF Sun
day Gn1ependeot Republican, has q long
| editorial in which Mckinley Is savagely
| denounced. The following is the opening
| paragraph of the editorial:
Heading Republicans OF the state,
when they talk as they think, and this Is
| when they are sure they will not be re-
| ported, do not hesitate to admit that the
| deadest duck in the political pit is His
| Excellency Hon. William Mckinley.
| These affirm that the Governor is in deep
water, far beyond his depth, and that
when he comes to administering on the
affairs of state he must either sink or
swim, and being little Of a swimmer, is
already settling to the bottom of the
stream of confidence and esteem, on
which he vainly supposes he Is riding.n
| Leading Republicans on the floor of the
convention called each other liars,
boodlers and all sorts Of uDpretty names.
| Postmaster James NJ. Brown violated
| the civil service plank of the Republican
National platform by appearing as a dele.
| gate in the convention and making q
violent attack upon the Foraker gang.
| The following is part OF his speech:
NV. /. Squire championed Mr.. Griffin.
| He threw more fuel on the fire. he said
| that NJ ljor Mckinley told him that he
would never have allowed his name to be
presented az temporary chairman OF the
| Republican convention at Cleveland IL he
had known it. Mr.. Squire eat down, aud
| Jim Brown, p. NJ, took chair and adj
dressed the convention.
| He said that he was for harmony. "As
| your leader for II years (Roars of deri
sive laughteT). You may laugh IL you
| will, but / have lead you to victory in
over 40 years service in the Republican
party have deplorRd such Republican
quarrels as these. You must not forget
| tnat we are on the eve of n
great campaign, and new Congressional
| district il to be mapped out.n He
| then said he had right 70 be there; that
| he never gave up his royal diadem when
| he took job to give out letters to Toledo
| people. He pointed to Mr. Bolle and said
that that man is responsible for this.
He has caused the trouble ia the Second
! ward with his dirty gang in here today.u
Then he lauded Mr.. Bonner and asked IL
he was to be defeated by land here he
spoke vile name) meaning Kurtz. He
spent more of his time praisinR the Fed
eral officials and denouncing the Foraker
people. He called Park and Tracy liars
aud dwelt for an extended length of time
on the fact that he was the only leader of
the Lucas Republicans
The Mr.. Bonner referred to is a mem
Der Of Gov, McKipley's staff. Brown was
replied to by Mr.. Boies, Foraker Repub-
lican) who called Brown all the hard
names lie could think of. 1t is said 10

ent convention ever held on the murky
