Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, ONO, March 2a-Tsn years eco
no man was batter known or more frequently
spoken Of la the newspapers In Cincinnati than
George Wolf He was acknowledged 70 be o
politician OF much ability and great shrewd-
ness. His services were called into reauisi-
| ton not only in Cincinnati, but public men Of
natioRal reputation frequently called him into
their services. and IN the national campaign Of
| 1876 he was identified with the interests OF the
late Samuel ]. Tifden. After the election he
was sent to Florida to look after the canvass
of the votes. Since then but little has been
heard of Mr.. Wolf He is now quite old, but,
in spite OF his years, retains his natural poiti-
cal sagacity.
His appearances here last week caused much
surmsing among the older politicians, who re-
membered and recognized him, as to what polit-
ical mission called him here. It GENES from
very good authority that Mr. Wolf il here in
the interest Of Senator Grav OF Delaware,
though what these interests are cannot be told
now 1t is possible that the Delaware states
man is feeling the sentiment of western DEM
ocrats with view to entering the race for the
presidential nomination at Chicago II he finds
the conditions favorable.
POSSIBLE CONFUSION OVER E1xcr,Sa REPUBLICAN
DELEGATES.
Judge King, Of youngstown, chairman of the
republican state central committee, after wait
ing for the legislature to pass the redistricting
bill as long as possible, has called a meeting of
the committee in this city on the 25th Of this
month to fix time and place for the next repub-
llcan state convention. where delegates ut large
to the national convention will be selected and
also to call district conventions to select district
delegates to minneapolis. 1t IL quite possible
mi fall In s,,H Ia <xos.
Sherman and Foraker factions OF the re-
publican party have not yet been able to
agree upon a re-districting plan. In
fact, they are as FAR from agreement now as
when the differences first appeared. 1t is
hardly possible that they will get together be-
fore the meeting of the stRto central commit
tee. II the state is not rcGistricted by that
time, district conventions will be called accord
ing to the present districts. Should tho TO-
districter pass subsequently and before the dis
trlcts have called their conventions, there will
certainly be confusion as to whether the old
districts should be recognized or tine new ones.
The democrats have as yet taken no action
looking to state convention and probably will
not until the latest possible moment. State
Chairman j. A. Norton Is confident that the re-
pubiicsns will pass the redistricting bill in
few weeks.
WHY GEN. WATSON WAS NOT APPOINTED,
The action Of President Harrison in overlook
ing Ohio entirely in the appointment of q go
licitor general is exactly what was expected by
well-posted politicians hero. Ex,Attorney Gen.
eral watson, who was tho leading candidate for
the solicitor generaiship. would probably have
secured 1t but for the fact that he was not only
an avowed Sherman man. but personal enemy
OF ex-Gov. Foraker. The Foraker influence was
marshaled against him, and the President coald
not afford at this time to assume the enmity OF
any part ofhis party in Ohio. This was no
doubt his reason for choosing solicitor gen.
eral outside Of Ohio.
POLITICAL NOTES.
Congressman Cultivate has given general
satisfaction to not only his own party but to
the people Of this district by his vote against
fixing date for considering the silver ques-
ton. The leading Democratic organ, the Post
of this city, is inclined to favor free silver but
Is not very decided about 1t. The rank and file
OF the party here Is strongly opposed TO max
ing silver an issue at this time and pretty
strongly opposed to free silver coinage at any
time.
Gov. Campbelrs statement in an interview
Mt Chicago to the effect that he would not &C
cept the vice presidential nomination for the
reason that it would be no honor to him, and
that the Vice President Is always buried in OBJ
iivion, has been severely citicised by leading
democrats here. They think the place on the
national democratic ticket which was accepted
by ex-senator Allan G. Thurman as an honor
ought not to be refused by eX-Gov. Campbell.
