McKinley's reorganization for govern
or of Ohio Is conceded by all RepuDll-
cans of the state. 1t has been tntlmat-
ed that the friends of Governor Fora
ker would oppose McKinley's election
for the part Mckinley played IN the
senatorial contest, in which Mckinley
had given ali assurances that for him
self and the state administration, no
part between Sherman and Foraker
would be taken in the contest. 1t is
known that as time wore on in the con-
test. Mckinley and his administration,
together with the federal administra-
tion. were all active in behalf of Sena-
tor Sherman; that appointments under
Mckinley were parcelled out like shop
wares over a "cheap goods" counter.
However, the purpose of this article
is not to dwell upon the senatorial con-
test One matter alone In connection
Herewith will for all time stand out
prominent and clear as the MONDAY
sun, and that is that Governor Foraker
holds no political grudges, aud carries
no scalping knives or razors In his belt.
His reputation is that he abides the
odtcome of q political contest with the
same grace and fellowship as In the
trial OF law suit.
In word, McKinley's friends need
have no fear of Governor Foraker-he
is Republican and always for the
ticket of his party.
There is, however, In McKinley's
candidacy degree of solicitude to
know what the Hon. Charles Foster
and the army of federal Office holders
under Harrison will do. To them 1t is
known that Foster, holding cabinet
position, expected his own state to cast
| Its solid vote at the Minneapolis con-
vention for Harrison. To them also
1t Is known that the vote Of Ohio for
Mckinley was not by accident, or un-
der the inspiration of the moment.
Knowing ones say that Foster has
been advised that Mark Hanna, Of
Cleveland, and others who we're work
ing for McKinley's nomination at
Minneapolis, were in constant COM
munication with the governor, and
that under the guiding hand of Hanna,
Mckinley was Induced to make certain
promises to state delegations In con-
sideration of their support.
The point Of doubt as to McKinley's
chances for success this fall then comes
from sources that lead one to have a
desire to look in behind the screen and
| to see there concealed some animosities
left over from the Minneapolis con-
vention. The Gum total of conjecture
and speculation of McKinley's success
Is centered in Foster and the Harrison
administration.
1t lis said that Foster never forgets or
forgives those who disappoint him. In
the meantime one meets persons fire.
quently, in fact daily, about Columbus
and along the lines of crowded railroad
passenger coaches, who In confidential
tones deplore the present outlook, and
who with emphasis urge that the way
out is the nomination of Foster for
governor. What all this means time
alone will develop. During the interim
Mckinley and his friends need have no
concern about the Foraker following
in Ohio, but Ii might not be amiss to
keep an eye on Foster and the 80 called
Washington end of the party, of which
Mckinley himself for years was an i'm
portant factor.
