a.,
Hon. W. S. Cappeller, of the Mansfield
News, who enjoys the distinction of not only
being one of the most pungent and aggressive
editors of the state but also Of being the best
abused editor, was conspicuous among the
editors at the recent editorial convention at
! Columbus. He served as Foraker's railroad
commissioner, for four years and attained
great prominence by the virulence Of his oppo-
sition to John Sherman. He was perhaps the
most pronounced Foraker man in Ohio, and
gloried in it. He was one of the few Foraker
lieutenants who was not absorbed by McKin-
ley after Foraker's retirement from politics in
1892.
1t is related of Mr. Cappeller that he has q
yearning desire to break into journalism at
the capital, and in furthennce of that fond
ness he some time ago purchased stock in a
daily paper here that represents all that is
mortal of the late Sam Medary, whose picture
still hangs in the parlor of thousands of dem
ocratic families throughout the state. His
paper passed from one proprietor to another,
changing names as fast as editors, until finally
il was edited by receiver last summer and is
still, for that matter. Mr.. Cappeller wants to
get hold of this paper and establish Foraker
= organ right under the very nose of Mckinley.
: Foraker organs in Ohio are scarce Just at pres
ent, and good bracer at the capital, it is be
lieved, would be Just the Caper in one emer-
T gency, such as is expected in the near future,
when the clans of both great chieftains get
together.
On last Saturday Mr.. VIM. Greenfelter of
: Massillon, buried his infant child. The second
child lay, at the same time, in a very critical
condition with malignant diphtheria. Since
then the third child, mother and nurse girl
have all become prostated, leaving the father
; alone to attend to the wants of the entire fam
lily.
