Ohio Democracy Erect and Confident
in the Impending Struggle.
COLUMBUS, o., June 9rd, 1895.
II there is Democrat in the state
of Ohio with fainting political heart
he is one who has not been advised
Of the proceedings of the Republican
State convention at GAINESVILLE. After
the action of that convention there
ought to be no doubt of what the
right kind of a ticket can accomplish
before the people of Ohio. The Re-
publican factions are in afight to the
death. Gov. Foraker with the re-
venges of a half dozen years now
gratified is in the saddle and in full
charge Of the Republican machine.
Gov. Mckinley after unparalleled
successes since 1891 has at last been
overthrown. The Republicans who
are now in control of party politics
are the men who are sworn to retire
him to
PRIVATE LIFE
and their first step was the selection
of a candidate for governor who rep
resented the idea of hostility to Nc
Kinley as we'll as state ticket in har-
mony with the same policy. The Nc
Kinley machine though broken at
GAINESVILLE is yet powerful affair and
able to wreck any other that has
arisen on the ruins of the old one.
There is but one policy open to the
Napoleon of tariff and that is the de-
feat of the
GAINESVILLE TICKET
from top to bottom and including the
legislative ticket as we'll. 1t is well
known fact that Bushnell admin
istration at the state house would be
more disastrous than a Democratic
administration to the presidential
aspirations of the present governor
of Ohio. The friends of the governor
argue in an ingenious manner. If
Foraker without dollar of state
patronage as private citizen with
out anything to reward personal
could in few weeks marshal over
500 delegates to state convention
out of 800 what could he not do with
all the power and prestige of the
whole state and the legislature back
of him. With his personal feeling
toward Mckinley and the full knowl
edge of the treachery of the Governor
and his friends ever since 1889 when
both Sherman and Mckinley issued
the edict that Foraker should be de-
feated what can Mckinley expect at
his hands. Absolutely nothing. But
he could expect the knife
To,THE HILTi
and in this lie will not be disap-
pointed. With Democratic admin
istration intrenched in power in both
the legislature and in the state house
and in institutions he would have an
equal show in graphing with Fora
ker it mustbe confessed the governor
is much stronger than anybody put
forward to represent him at Zanes-
vile. 1t was necessary in 1889 to
curb the growing power and check
the ambition of Gov. Foraker and
it was done in the election of James
E. Cambell and Democratic Legis-
lature. The same situation is before
the Mckinley Sherman leaders to-
day, If they permit the election of
Bushnell and with him Republican
legislature there is no longer any
hope for Mckinley. Politicians are
tickle and fieeting and once that a
mans political sun has set the men
who have fawned upon him and
basked in the sun light of his favor
in the hey day Of his power are gen.
orally the first to desert to the wor-
ship of the rising sun. Gov. McKin-
ley without power and patronage in
his own state will be no more than
any private citizen. Foraker on the
other hand is dashing, brilliant,
magnetic commander who charms
and captivates his followers through
himself alone. Mckinley on the 9th
er hand attracts only in the ratio of
his ability to reward with office those
who serve him. With that ability re-
moved he would be an exploded
presidential quantity that other
states would refuse to recognize be-
cause of the dangers attending a
nomination with division of his
own state. But by defeating Bush
nell who is none other than Foraker
his friends can say that Ohio can
be carried by the Republican party
with Mckinley and that it has again
been demonstrated that the state has
