4 New Ohio Big Four Rises From the
Winters Tribalations.
POLITICAL NEWS OF SEVERAL STATES

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
COLUMBUS, O., April 25-The results of
the Republican primaries in Ohio on Satur-
day and to-day show that the Sherman wing
of the party has elected nearly all the dele
gates to the State Convention except in
Cincinnati and Cleveland. This is a sur
prise for the Forakerites, who, flushed with
capturing the organization of the convention
by the State Central Committee in this city
q few weeks ago, were loud in their talk of
what they intended to do. All is changed
now, and the more stalwart of the Sherman
crowd say it is very doubtful if even one of
the four delegates at large to be elected at
Cleveland Thursday will be a Foraker man.
It was originally intended that two of the
four delegates at large would be Governor
Mckinley and Ex-Governor Foraker, but
now that the power is in the hands of the
Shermanites, Fire Alarm is to be punished
for the objectionable SIN of having run
against Sherman for United States Senator
last winter.
A New Big Four for Ohio.
The Foraker slate was the Ex-Governor,
Colonel A. L. Conger, member of the
National Republican Committee from Ohio,
Auditor of State Poe, and, if he behaved
like good little boy, Mckinley. On the
other hand, the friends of the Mansfield
statesman insist that the following shall be
the elect who shall pose as the admins
tration ''big FOUR" who have come up out
of great tribulation in this winters fight
with the world, the flesh and the-Foraker:
Governor Mckinley, of Canton, Mark A.
Hanna, of Cleveland, John Sherman and
William NJ. Hahn, of Mansfield. Conger
and Poe want to 60 from Ohio to the
National Convention. Will they do so?
Why, no! Lord, no!
Secretary of the Treasury Foster is work
ing like q beaver to have the delegates in
structed to vote for the denomination of
President Harrison, but while the admins
tration may be Endorsed, this may not be
done. Governor Mckinley will not go to
Cleveland before Wednesday.
Tho War Really on at Toledo.
The Republicans of the Ninth Ohio Con-
gressional district (Toledo) to-day elected
W. H. Tucker and j. B. Wilson as dele
gates to Minneapolis, and L. D. Sargent and
G. B. Spencer alternates All are Harrison
men, and were instructed for the President.
The sentiment was decidedly for an anti
administration man, but the Federal Office
holders SO manipulated things as to carry
the day. A bitter factional war, which will
certainly result in Democratic votes, is now
on. During the County Convention Post
master Brown became very angry, calling
his opponents unprintable. names. Affida-
wits were made to-day calling the attention
of the Civil Service Commission to his con-
duct, and a petition asking his removal was
numerously signed.
he Gnuntu ha1d
at GAINESVILLE to nominate delegates to the
State Convention was very exciting one.
A committee consisting of one from each
voting precinct chose slate. The fun CON-
menced when c. U. Shryock, editor of the
Sunday Neacs, submitted a minority report,
denouncing the action of the committee,
and charging certain members with having
packed the same, and with having cir
culated tickets with the above names upon
them. A red-hot time followed, the
speakers on both sides being greeted with
cheers and Kisses. The report of the COM
mittee was, however, adopted by vote of
to l. The delegation is solid Sherman
one, but the secret of the contest lies in an
effort to name f. d. Martin, of Noble
county, as State Central Committeeman for
the district
What Foraker's Fight Means.
A special TO IHE DISPATCH from wash
ington says: The big fight against Harrison
at present is in Ohio. The opposition of
Foraker means more than it appears to, and
some of the biggest men in the Republican
party who are generally supposed to be
friends of Harrison are backing Foraker in
his fight against Secretary Foster for the
possession of delegates. When the work in
the Buckeye State is done, the anti-Har-
rison men will go to work in earnest They
do not intend to go to Minneapolis with a
cut-and-dried candidate. That is not their
politics. They mean to have perfect un-
derstanding among themselves, however,
and to work in harmony when the conven-
tion ground is reached. They were never SO
hopeful of defeating Harrison as they are
to-day.
