came prominent in Republican poll
itics his methods have gone from
bad to worse. During his first term
as governor he fell into fellowship
and established close communion
with the George Cox gang in Gin
cinnati; the George Beaton, Chas.
Kurtz, Jerry Bliss gang of Colum-
bus; the Griffin gang of Toledo; the
Evans gang Of Portsmouth; the
Brown gang of Dayton; the Eli
West gang in Hooking; the w. 2
Mcdonald gang of Akron, and so
on all over the state. These men
take to each other as naturally as
ducks to water and hang together
through thick and thin, their union
being cemented by an uncontroll-
able desire for the spoils of Office,
and the greater spoils which in the
hands Of corrupt men often wait
upon official positions. These gangs
began to make themselves felt the
first year Of Foraker's administra-
tiOn and were "viewed with alarm"
by the better elements of the party,
and this alarm grew until they saw
Foraker nominated for governor
six years ago for the fourth time In
u contention where he was not
even named as II candidate, and
protested he was not candidate.
They then determined to put an
end to such false, dishonest, and
crooked methods, and the result
was the election of Governor Camp
bell, in which result the best elp-
ments OF the Republican party,
worn out and disgusted with For
aker's trickery, materially assisted.
1t was inlthis campaign that the
celebrated forged letter was made
use of and got into the Cincinnati
Commercial direct from Governor
Foraker's Office, where it hud been
Kept for weeks awaiting favorable
time to spring it on the public. 1t
will he remembered that the names
of Governor Campbell, Senator
Sherman, Governor Mckinley, Ben
Butterworth and many others
prominent in and out of Ohio were
forged to document which If true,
would forever blast the regulations
Of everyone Of them.
A fac simile of the letter was
published with all the names sup
pressed except that of Governor
, ampbell, and it was some days
before the fact leaked out that
other names were also attached to
the document.
When this became known n
storm of Indignation arose in the
minds OF all honest citizens aud
Foraker was buried in the grave
that had been dug not only for
Governor Campbell, but also for
sherman, Mckinley and many
other prominent pubic men, both
Republicans and Democrats.
t'oraker's hand is equally against
political friends and foes. He and
his gang would bury every man
without regard to political af1ilia-
tiun who might stand in their way
10 political dominion and political
spills. The question now present
ed fo: honest Republicans is
whether or not they are willing tn
zee Foraker and his gang OF pDlit-
ical adventurerS and mountebanks
put back into control Of the Repub-
lican party of Ohio for the next six
years. 1t is certain IL the legisla-
ture Is Republican Foraker will go
TO the senate of the United States
for the next six years, as almost
every Republican candidate for the
legislature has been chosen by his
gang. He will dominate every
thing and every person, dispose OF
every office, and dictate every Re-
publican measure in Ohio politics
as long as he is in position so To
do. 1t will be six long years before
the people will have Il chance to
hnrl him from power and they will
seem to honest citizens to be long
years indeed.
It's to the truc interest Of hon
est Republicans, and of the Repub-
lican party generally that the
Kurtz-Cox- Bliss Foi aker element
he shown again, rs IL was shawn
six years ago, that the party will
not be permitted to pass under
their pernicious grasp.
