the signatures, requesting the congress-
ional Committee to call a new conven-
ton for the purpose Of making another
nomination; that affidavits were being
prepared and evidence secured to show
up corrupt proceedings, and that the
committee would be requested to inves-
tigate all the charges made, and in short
to tear open and set aside the whole
Congressional business in this district
and order new deal. The article was
read with interest, of course, for were it
firmly founded there would be exciting
times in the district, but . moments
thought would convince any one that
there could be nothing in it, beyond q
plan perhaps to make capital for the
Democrats.
We expected Mr.. Ellis in Wilmington,
and on Friday he arrived.
He wanted to see what effect his sen.
sation would have in this county, which
was for Mr.. Doan for the nomination
and which was also opposed to Judge
Hulick. He secured cold comfort. He
found on arrival that excitement had
not Suspended business here, nor were
Republicans wild with anticipations.
His effort had created but little talk,
and when he interviewed few of our
Republicans he quickly discovered that
we were not boilers, nor kickers. We
had opposed Judge Hulick's renomina.
ton and we had expressed displeasure
at some things which had occurred, but
we were for the nominee and We took
no stock in any movement such rs he
had suggested.
Mr.. Ellis interviewed number of Re.
publicans, and on Saturday there ap-
peared in the Tribune an article from
Wilmington. He did not quote the
gentlemen with whom he talked just as
they would have liked. He did not
misrepresent them, but the language he
put in their mouths did not interpret
their meaning as they expressed it, nor
did he report them fully enough. For
instance, he quotes the member of the
Congressional Committee as saying that
it would do no good to ask for new
convention, as the committee would
stand as all committees appointed at
Lebar on stood, four to two -four Hulick,
two Doan). True he did say that, but
the committeeman also told him EN-.
phatically that he was opposed to enter.
tanning for a moment request to call
a new convention that he was opposed
to receiving the affidavits or listening to
any alleged evidence; that he was not
even in favor of calling the committee
together that he was Doan man
before the convention, but that he is
now for Hulick, and that instead of the
committee being four to two it is now
five to one and probably unanimous.
Judge VanPelt and w. W.. Savage,
with whom "Wade" talked, stated also
they were for Doan before the conven-
ton, but for Hulick since, and opposed
to any further proceedings. No "thun.
der" was obtained in this county by the
Tribune's representative and the great
"disaffection" he seems to have dis.
covered exists in his mind only. Gin.
ton county Republicans are not boilers,
and they will resent any effort on the
part OF the Tribune to make it appear
that they are. The petitions to the
committee "Wade" says are here will
not be circulated, nor will there be any
sympathy with such movement unless
it be in the camp OF the enemy.
Whenever a Democratic writer for
mugwump sheet talks about the Repub.
licans cleansing their party of foul
stain, &c., and pretends to point out the
way in which they shall travel it looks
suspicious. If the Tribune can not
make more of success of its plan to
stir up trouble in the Sixth District, in
the other counties than it has in Clinton.
it might as we'll abandon it early in the
fray and save them further trouble, for
80 far as Clinton is concerned the attempt
to furnish the Democrats campaign
material has fallen fat.
The Lebanon Star says:
The Cincinnati Tribune 10 worried
about the Sixth District and wants us to
hold another Congressional Convention.
Mayor Davis, of Hillsboro, also wants
another chance to make his speech, but
there is no one else who desires it.
Judge Hulick will be the next Congress.
man with an increased majority, and he
will make good one as he has in the
past.
A Mason, Warren county, correspon.
dent Of the Commercial Gazette says:
The great talk that has been going on
regarding the political situation in the
Sixth District is vast extravaganza on
the part of few disappointed polite.
ians, who are trying to make capital out
of the various charges which were
brought forth during the memorable
Convention at Lebanon on May 81.
They were defeated, and while the loyal
Republicans were willing to accept the
situation, there is always a class who
are of minor Importance to party who
will continue to cry down the successful
candidate. The Republicans of Warren
county, while they were divided between
Doan and Hulick at the convention, are
now united, and will put forth their
best effort not only to elect Hulick, but
to give him the usual majority, with q
splendid outlook for an increase on
account of the dissatisfaction with the
Democratic Administration.
Warren county has been dragged into
the report that the people here are
anxious for a new convention, on ac-
count of the methods used to secure Mr..
Hulick's nomination, but while they
regret the loss of the opportunity to
secure the nomination, there is no ques-
ton but that they will lay aside any
personal feelings that may have been
engendered, and will work for the inter-
est Of the party.
LOYAL TO HIS PARTY.
