deadlock which had existed in this city
since Mayor Blee came into power, on
April 10, has at last ended. For two
weeks the city council refused to con-
firm the nomination Of John Farley to

the mayor and directors of the various
departments, could not be organized
without director of the public works
Hence no attempt to hold a meeting of
the board was made and vast amount
Of public business could not be trans

COLUMBUS, April 25.-Uncle John Sher>
man pulled the strings on the Republican
State Central Committee which met here
today. Columbus was selected as the
place Of meeting, 10 accordance with the
pitiful appeal from Governor Mckinley,
who feared that be would not draw q
crowd IL the convention we're not held at
some central point easy Of access to
southern Ohio delegates and politicians.
The date was made June 9TH and 9Th also
in response TO the wishes of the Governor,
who appreciates the dire straits in
which the Republicans will be placed this
year, and wishes plenty OF time in which
to explain and apologize to the people.
The meeting of the committee was
spiritless and the mood of the members
one Of encouragement at the impending
defeat which stares them in the face this
fall. They fully understand that between
Governor McKinley's indiscreet appoint,
ments, bis gigantic failure as hnancier
and the record for corruption which the
Republican majority of this legislature
has made, the q. o. p. has anything but
an encouraging prospect.
