81 notice." said Judge Joseph W. ONeal Of
Lebanon, Ohio. TO The STAR representative at
the Ebbitt this morning. 'that Ohio democrats
who have come into Washington have been very
loud in their assertions that their party will
carry the state at the next election in the fall
and beat Mr.. Mckinley.
The republicans in Ohio are stronger than
at the last presidential election and the condi-
ton Of affairs which existed at that time will
not be allowed to exist at any subsequent cleo
ton. Ohio was conceded to be q republican
state and the republicans did not bestir them
selves. The democrats did and, made a very
strong, still hunt and came near winning. 1t
will be long time before the republicans Of
Ohio are caught mapping again.
'Mr. Mckinley will be renominated and
elected. He has made most satisfactory gov
ernor. As for the alleged going over into the
democratic camp OF great many republicans
l viii say that the republicans Of Ohio are re-
publicans still and will remain So The repub-
lcans will be very slow in indorsing Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration or any of the principles
or policies of the democrats Our people are
not tickle and do not jump at fallacious free
trade arguments, and despite all reports to the
contrary the republican party OF Ohio is united.
and talks Of factions which will disrupt it and
give the state to the democrats are more imagi-
nary than real.
II have yet to hear any republican say that
he will not give Mr. Mckinley his hearty sup
port and have heard of no one who is not in
favor OF hh denomination. Mr.. Mckinley's per-
sonal popularity is very great and he has warm
place In the hearts of all Ohio people, and they
are not vet ready to admit that he Is wrong on
the tariff question, as my democratic friends
seem to think. Ohio has prospered under the
tariff and republican rule and we are willing to
N lima
There has been something said about Mr..
Mchlnley not accepting the denomination.
"hlle don think such contingency will
arise. yet if it should believe that ex-Secretary
Charles Foster will be the nominee. II Mr..
Foster should be nominated in my opinion there
is no doubt Of his election"
young clerk Of dudish proclivities. well
known in his division of the Stale Department,
paid for the wine at an uptown hotel last even
ing and this is how it came about: He ap-
peared at the office recently with one Of the new
style Of low, cone-shaped crown, wide brimmed
derbies which are inficting themselves upon .
helpless public. That evening when he went
home he complained that this hat did not fit him.
He had it stretched every day for nearly a week
and each day complained that either the hat
was getting smaller or the head was getting
larger. As the hat didn't possess the ability to
contract he concluded it was his head which
was expanding. He became very seriously
alarmed. particularly since he had not boon on
any sprees.
He consulted his fellow clerks. and while they
commiserated with him, yet they agreed to q
man that he was certainly suffering from sonic
physical ailment. such as water on the brain,
and that his condition was indeed serious. They
finally persuaded him to consult an army sur
geon in the building who in the game The
army surgeon diagnosed his case as Uranium
hypertrophy," and suggested that he apply at
once for a leave OF absence and retire to hos
pital for treatment Thoroughly alarmed the
young man returned to his comrades and told
his story.
Then the rngleader, taking the derby from
its hook and in the presence of the Disguised
dude, removed half dozen slips OF thin blot
ting paper from the inside of the rim, which
had been surreptitiOusly placed therein, one by
one each day during the week, by his compan-
ions.
The young clerk, however, appreciated the
joke, greatly relieved to find out that his head
was still of normal size, and paid for the wine
like a man.
"While the city at which am stationed is
small in comparison with Washington" said H .
J. Leonard, United States consul at London,
Ont. Canada. to The STAR representative at
i
features which resemble the capital
Its streets are from l2O to $50 and 200 feet
wide. bordered by double and quadruple rows
OF trees and paved with block pavements. The
water supply Of the city. which comes from
springs, is exceptionally pure and az clear as
crystal. The water supply is kept free from
communicative influences and in the reservoirs
one can see ten and twelve feet down in the
water and observe the trout.
Canadians are giving considerable attention
to manufacturing and London has become quite
manufacturing center. They ship q good
many goods in the United States and the trade
is increasing. The expectation of horses into
this country from my district is quite extensive
and expanding each year.
"There are two traits Of character about an
Apache Indian which are peculiar, +" said Judge
Porter of Arizona at the Ebbitt to The STAR
representative this morning
The Apaches are very cowardly. They are
murderers rather than warriors and always
wait until they get the drop on you or have an
unfair advantage. But they are exceedingly
truthful. l have tried over thirty for murder.
In every instance. with one exception, tho
Indian would confess to the smallest detail of
the fatal occurrence. In the exception I have
mentioned the Apache ffterward told mo that
he wanted to tell the TRUTH but that his lawyer
wouldn't let him. They do not, however,
trouble us any now"
A. A. Harris Of Fort Scott, Kan, chairman
Of the straight-out democratic central commit
tee OF Kansas and a prominent leader Of the
democracy in the state of corn and hogs, ia at
Wizards. He is not after offcs.
"There are two reasons" said Mr.. Harris to
The STAR representative, "why the populist
movement in Kansas should not progress
First, we want our own party built up, and
second, the populist movement has been disas-
trous to the state politically, financially and in
other respects. Their revolutionary ideas have
greatly injured us, not only in our standing as
one OF the states Of the Union, but in our
credit. These revolutionary and anarchistic
doctrines have been a whitening blight upon
Kansas, for these people have placed them
selves above the law and the Conltitution and
make no bones about it. Luckily for Kansas
they did not succeed in passing their laws.
There is nothing the matter with Kansas
except her politics. The people are prosper
GUS, well housed and fed, have a fine soil and
are capable of producing the greatest crops in
the world-if the populists will only let them
alone.
There will never be another fusion in Kan
sas, rest assured. There will be an attempt at
fusion. however, for Senator Martin has con-
