M'KINLEY OWNS UP
CAMPBELL CALLED HIM DOWN ON
HIS FIGURES.

HIS FIGURES.
ohio's Napoleon Stands 1t for a While and
Finally Discovers that the Figures
Wrong and Says Soils Action May
Lead to a fractional Break in the Party
Again the Foraker Men are Testy-
Poe Makes a statement-McKinleyw will
Make the Campaign in Ohio.
Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 1.-THE Ports
mouth confession is the live theme
among politicians tonight. Governor
Mckinley has been illustrating his ref
FRANCES to state finances with figures
furnished him by Auditor of State Poe.
THESE figures were intended to desig
nate the extent and character of the
local Indebtedness authorized by the
last legislature, and the question of ac-
curacy has been the subject of much
contention.
Mr.. Campbell, the Democratic nomi-
nee has insisted in every speech he has
delivered that the Poe figures are not
correct, and that Governor Mckinley
knows they are not. This statement
put Governor Mckinley upon his in
curry, and when he discovered that
Campbell was right he made the follow
ing acknowledgment from the platform
at Portsmouth:
| have been relying on figures furn-
ished me by the auditor of the state
which l find upon investigation are
incorrect. After Mr.. Campbells at
IN c;p ~ ~ oa T
had been quoting, 1 again requested
the auditor to go carefully over the
figures once more, which he has done,
and l have this hour received a tele-
gram from him saying that Mr.. Camp
bells figures are correct. / make this
open statement in interest Of fairness.
The governor is being complimented
on all sides for his manly confession
but the Democrats suggest that it may
re-establish factional lines in the Re
publican party.
POE PUBLISHES STATEMENT
AS Auditor Poe is an adherent of the
Foraker faction, and is not overScru-
pulous when 1t comes to preparing fig
ureS for campaign purposes, il was ex-
pected that he would resent the gov
ernor's treatment of his estimates but
Mr.. Poe publishes an amended state
ment tonight which explains his fig

This little incident, and the further
fact that he Cincinnati morning organ
of the Foraker faction is adorned with
a cut of Thomas B. Reed today, gives
the Democrats cause to think that the
sentiment in favor of Mckinley for
president and Foraker for Senator is
not mutually satisfactory, and that
there is only a semblance of peace,
which is intended to answer the pur-
IF
Mr.. Campbell's tour of calamity and
mistake is an uninterrupted success
from a Democratic standpoint. The
Democrats continue to insist that he is
telling nothing but the truth, while he
Republicans characterize his speeches
as those of a demagogue. Mr.. Camp
bell is denouncing the sale of Hooking
Canal as a question: BILE transaction,
influenced by the liberal use of money,
and apparently forgets that all of the
Deocratie senator's. and thirteen DEM
ocratic members of the house voted for
the measure after weeks of discussion.
C. Z. Mcbride, who will be the DEM
ocratic caucus nominee for speaker Of
the next house worked and voted for
the bill, and was even feted and dined
by the Hooking Valley miners on the
occasion of celebration at Jacksonville
w. c. Gear, the Democratic leader in
the senate, and an attache of the Brice
contingent at the committee rooms,
was also an enthusiastic supporter of
the measure. In spite of these facts
MIR. Campbell continues to character
iZe the measure as a steal.
CRISIS IN CLOSE COUNTIES
The Democrats in the close counties
are frantic. Mr.. Brice still refuses to
endow the state committee with funds
in an amount anticipated when the
campaign opened. He is said TO be be-
seiged from every quarter with de-
mands from those who thought his
purse and liberaiity unlimited, but he
has failed to see the wisdom of unre-
stricted and indiscriminate distribution
and those professional politicians who
thaught they saw fat picking in Mr..
Brice are emphasizing their disappoint-
ment in strong language. Every coun-
ty committee in the state, close or sure,
expected to have a piece of money to
placate and keep in line the hungry
flangers-on. The committee in Fair
field county, which has always gone
Democratic, wanted $4,000. and the adj
Joining county of Perry asked for
$1,000.
NJ. II. Donohue. chairman of the Per-
ny county committee and candidate for
the legislature, called a meeting of his
committee at New Lexington this af-
Ternoon and resigned. Mr.. Donohue
has made several visits here but has
not succeeded in bleeding the Brice
distributors, and his resignation as a
candidate is the result When he re-
ceived a telegram from Barney Layton
assistant sergeant-at-arms of the ma
tional house, and Mr.. Brice's recogniedz
financial agent, saying that there was
no change in the situation since their
last interview, he threw up his hands |
Governor Mckinley says he Will not
go 10 Kentucky and Maryland to speak
but may deliver a series of speeches
in New York this fall
