WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-When Gov.
Mckinley was asked his opinion of the
late election, or rather its results. he de-
clared that the figures were Impress
i've" and that it required time to figure
them fully and. completely. That the
Ohio man was intending at that time to
give the matter the proper amount of
consideration there is no doubt. but the
Buckeye politicians refused to give him
a chance, and, although 1t has not yet
been a month since election the Ohio
Republicans are engaged in one of the
most hilarious family rows on record, a
row, by the way, that bodies i'll to the
Mckinley presidential boom. And it all
came about through deal made by the
immaculate Mckinley with EX-GOv.
Foraker and George B. Cox,
The Saloonkeeper Boss.
of the Republican party in Cincinnati,
by the terms Of which the editor of the
Republican organ which has usually
opposed Foraker and Cox was given
the Republican congressional nominal
ton in the First Ohio district as the
price Of his silence in the future. BY
this deal Foraker was to be sent TO the
senate, and the way for a solid delega-
ton 10 the next national convention for
Mckinley was to be paved.
Everything was carried out as
planned, and when the convention met
Editor Taft was nominated with only
few opposing votes. This was a sur
prise to almost everybody, as it was
generally supposed the delegates were
elected for the present CONGRESSMAN,
Bellamy StOrer. 1t was very strong
demonstration of The power of George
B. Cox. but Mr.. Storer was not to be
cOmforted by this. Cox gave and Cox
took away. but Storer refused to bless
bis name and hail his use of the power
as enthusiastically as he did when Cox
was tearing DOWN some one else to build
up Storer.
Well, the upshot Of It all Is that q
great anti-boss movement in Hamilton
county is being iaaugurated, and this
time both Mckinley and Foraker are on
the list. The reformerS have rod in
pickel for Editor Taft and Bellamy
Storer is evidently anxious TO lead the
reformers.
BelIamy Would Lead.
Having been turned down by the
bosses, who thought the influence OF a
live newspaper of more value than the
money which Mr.. Storer married, it is
eminently proper that Bellamy should
now become the head of tie movement
against George 3. Cox.
Mr.. StOrer is the member of congress
who has been interviewed so prOfusely
on the action Of Secretary Gresham in
Offering the good offices OF this govern
ment to bring about all understanding
between China and Japan. Mrs. Storer
is very bright woman, and if she
could hold the seat i'll congress person
ally instead Of by proxy, the suDstitu~
tion of Taft for StOrer would be mis-
fortune. AS things stand, however, it
is probable that the government will
continue to move along after Hon. Bell
amy Sterer retires, although he is
strongly OF the contrary opinion.
