LOGAN, o., July lO.-There is al
honesty about Hooking County
Democrats which is refreshing
They have opinions and state then
and their bases IN public, with no mys
terious injunction to keep it all mum.
1t is evident from chats with many
prominent men that the county's
five delegates will vote for Neal il
his name be presented, or if the pre-
liminary sci timent at Cincinnati
fore shadows a chance of his nomin
alton. There were no instructions
given by the county convention held
several weeks ago. The quintette
who will represent the "Haw Eat.
ers" in Music Hall are all solid men
of hard sense.
DR.: Mansfield, who is one of them,
says that he regards convention as
the aggregate sense of the party.
He is for the man who can win.
Any personal preference he may
have will readily yield IN favor of a
better argument. Hunt, Neal and
Richie are all good men to his mind.
He wants through deliberation at
Cincinnati and no persistent adher-
ence to any choice, selected merely
because of nelghborhood or inlivid-
ual friendship.
Editor Lewis Green, who now
writes p. NJ. after his name, states
that Hooking County will cast a re.
liable vote
FOR ANY DEMOCRAT.
He thinks Judge Hunt is fine can
dldate, as he wants Hamilton County
to have its due say in the premises.
While be does not think that county
should exactly domineer, yet his
logic persudes him that where the
critical vote is there the influential
choice should reside. Hon w b
Richie, he says, is not much known
in this section of Ohio. For Neal,
if squarley in the race the county
would naturally incline, as its lead
ing men live near the Ross County
border.
w W McCray, who for twenty
four years was Superintent of
Schools, is for Judge Hunt. He
cites the statement that Col. Seth
Weldy affirms that the Judge told
him at Athens that he weuld ac-
cept.
Ex-senator Virgil C Lowry says:
EITHER Neal, Hunt or Richie would
make winning candidate, Neal
especially so upon national gues-
tions, and we, his neighbors in
Hooking, feel special interest In
him."
Chas Rose, the ex-Postmaster
and indefatigable worker for the
cause, is for Hunt or Neal, but is
gloomy over the prospects. He sees
in wool and wheat at prices below
any rate since the war the chances
of defeat, not because the party is in
the remotest degree responsible for
This depression, but, because the
tendency of the unreasoning is to
expend sentiment upon
THE PARTY IN POWER.
The inimitable Colonel Seth
Weldy is in Chicago at present, but
he left word that he is for Neal or
Hunt. The defeat of Neal at Day
ton convention in 1889 is popularity
ascribed to the unquenehable desire
on the part of the Colonel to see a.
man on the outside. which pilgrim
age resulted in change of seven
votes to Ex-Governor Campbell.
The Colonel is delegate, and is
said by some of his friends in Perry
County to be a candidate for Judge
of the Supreme Court.
Hon Carl Buerhaus, who in his
extreme but recent youth served two
terms in, the Legislature, is Neal
man.
Hon. W n England, member of
the State Central Committee, says
he wonld vote for James E Calnbell
were his name before the convention,
but that preference involves NO host
ilitY to Neal in the convention.
Hunt would be a good man al i
so.
County Clerk D Fl Lappen is for
a man who can win. His personal
desire is larry Neal, but he does
not want TO see him scrificed.
Deput Clerk J l. Bright was thus
terse: Neal first, Hunt second.
. Robert Davey: s'We're Neal men
through here"
G w Brehm, of the Ohio Dem
,orat, says Neal is tie most available.
He is a very able man, and has the
endurance and fighting qualities to
whip Mckinley in debate.
''Judge" Oliver w III Wright
kinks Hunt, Neal or Ritchie would
win. He admits that Neal has the
great bulk of the county senti-
nent.
so FREQUENTLY
Oid The Enquirer man hear express
ion of foundness for Judge Samuel
:. Hunt as gubernational candi-

his city on a plateau, that he final

"Why in thunder is Sam Hunt
