clally indorses Harter in the letter calls at
tention to the fact that he is on record both
in and out of Congress as being in favor
of sound currency, and to maintain it, in
favor of the limited coinage of the cheaper
metal in order that the dearer may not so
into hiding.
He closes by saying that he has concluded
that he ought OF to take part against his
party in the campaign, so he will simply
be a spectator. This latter remark recalls
the fact that when Rutherford b. Hayes
was candidate for governor in 1875, and
Allen q. Thurman was his opponent on
the democratic ticket, rag money" being
made an issue by the democrats, Harter,
though a democrat, stumped the state for
Hayes and sound money. His opponents
must at least concede that Mr.. Harter is
consistent.
John H. Clark of Youngstown, the man
who made such a savage attack upon Sem
ator Brice in the democratic state conVen-
ton, has kept in retirement since then, but
is out now in an interview regarding the
Brice question as it will present itself next
year. 1T is a long look ahead" said he,
but L do not believe he can be reelected
to the Senate. If he announces himself as
candidate it will weaken the party SO
that it will not be possible to elect dem
ocratic legislature.
He must announce himself one way or
the other. With sucn a man as Sam. +.
Hunt, James Il. Campbell, John A. Nc
Mahon, Frank Hurd, Thomas l.. johnson,
able and honest men in the democratic
party in Ohio as the candidate for the
Senate, and an equally able man for gov
ernor, we could have such campaign in
Ohio next year as the state has not seen
for years. 1 predict that the republicans
will adopt the plan of electing United
States Senators by popular vote,and we will
after all be obliged to meekly follow their
example"
Brice Out for Reelection.
".
ator Brice will be a candidate for re-elec-
ton to the Senate next year, and that 1t
is by no means certain that he will not be
successful. The work OF democratic cam
paign orators Upon the stump here now
Is going far toward putting the party in a
better feeling as TO the new tariff law.
The dissatisfied democrats were blaming
Mr.. Brice for all that the new law fell
short of In the Way of tariff reform. AS
a party necessity the democrats are now
preaching from the stump that the new law
is the best that could possibly have been
drawn There must be some tariff in order
to meet the necessary expenses of the gov
eminent, they say, and this being the case,
what better arrangement of 1t could be
suggested than that which Mr.. Brice and
his associates insisted upon? Would the
party be willing to face the country with
"a deficit In the treasury, growing larger
each year? Such is :the phase the demo-
cratic orators in the Ohio campaign are
putting upon the tariff legislation OF their
party. 1t Is matter of necessity with
them, and Brice men and anti-Brice men
are doing it alike; so that the work OF the
campaign, without any special effort on
Senator Brices part, is putting him in bet
ter odor with his party.
If the good times that are promised como
now 1t Is not too much to predict that the
Senator will have put himself in better
favor with his party when the legislative
election comes off next year.
1t is very evident now that the Senator
will arrange it If possible that eX-Speaker
~ r. Hysell of this city will be the demo-
cratic candidate for governor next year.
Hysell was not many years ago coal
miner He was prominent In their labor
unions and finally became a state leader.
He was elected member of the house
which chose Brice for Senator five years
ago. There was strong opposition to Br!ce
among leading democrats on account Of
his great money power, and the opposition
found strong sympathy In the labor unions.
1t was through Hysell that Brice overcame
this sentiment and secured his election. An
arrangement was made with Hysell and his
fellow laboring men representatives, In the
house that in return for their support the
Brlce men would make Hysell speaker of
the house. This settled the whole matter.
When 1t was announced that Brice had the
labor union vote in the house, which every
body supposed would be against him first,
last and all the time, the opposition to Brice
went to pieces and his election was practi-
cally unanimous, but three members of the
caucus refusing to vote for him. "Hysell
has studied law since then and been ad-
mitted to the bar. He is practicing law
here now, but Is still closely connected with
labor unions and takes an active part in
politics. He would no doubt make strong
candidate for governor
Ex-Governor Campbell Is making strong
point against both Governor Mckinley and
Senator Sherman by showing that they are
ignoring the income tax feature OF the new
tariff law. Neither of these gentlemen has
made any mention of it in his speeches. Mr..
Campbell keeps pounding away at them
with his question, asking whether they in
dorse or denounce it. An answer is hardly
necessary from, Senator Sherman, for Camp
bell has found a speech made by him In
Congress soon after the war in opposition
to the proposition to repeal the income tax
law of that time, in which he said it was
the most just and equitable method Of tax
alton that could be devised and he urged
Congress to retain it and abolish other
forms. The ex-governor quotes freely from
this speech by Senator Sherman in the
speeches he is now making.
