In this neighborhood, and it is related
by we'll posted Republicans, with all
the circumstantiality which belongs TO
fact. that the whole matter was cut
and dried at q cock-loft conference held
at the Intelligencer Office, some time
ago. Only a few Of the leaders OF the
party were pFesent-yery few OF them,
indeed Il was there given out SOLID
that the editor OF the lntelliSencer
must be made one of the delegates at
large from West Virginia, and that
Ohio county was 10 have one OF the dis
trict delegates. The question OF VINO
should have this honor was the sub
ject of debate, and the rumor Is that
Mr. Henry Baer was settled upon for
the place. But not for long. Some
thing arose 10 make change desirable,
and the little squad Of leaders removed
Mr.. Baer from the pedestal and sub
stituted Mr. George Wise. Somebody
objected to this arrangement, and Mr..
Wise's name was in turn erased, and
Mr.. Henry Schmulbach was proposed
as an eligible substitute. But at about
this time a complication arose. Mr..
Brady had aspirations to go TO St.
Louis, and he also had lots OF good Re-
publican friends Under ordinary cir
cumstances the leaders would probably
have been glad to have cOnpec,cd MI.
Brady's name with the Office Of District
Delegate for day or two, as had been
done in the cases of Messrs. Baer and
Wise, but Mr., Brady was not for ne
Kinley, On the contrary, he was an
aad ff.stir
OF Mr.. McKinley's strongest competi-
tor, Mr.. Reed. To make a break In the
Mckinley ranks was a thing not TO be
thought Of for a moment, and the in
formation was delicately conveyed 20
the friends of Mr. Brady hat his candi-
dacy would never do in the worll-in
fact, the thing was imposs5ble, and he
had better be pulled off the track with
out loss of time. But, strange to say,
Mr. Brady didn't bow TO the behests Of
the disciples Of the Ohio Napoleon le
petit. On the contrary, he distinctly
declined to respond 10 a snap OF the fin
gers and a command to go and lie down,
and as result he is very mucn in the
ring, and his friends say he will stand
as good a show as anybody of being a
district delegate, or they Will know the
reason why.
This is the story as it circulates
around among well posted Republicans,
and it mas decided elements of proba-
bility. Not having a key TO the small
closet where local Republican plans and
policies are mapped out, and from
whence issue the strains of the lively
tune TO which the rank and file Of the
party are expected to dance, tie Reg
lister reporter can't Vouch for the de-
tails, but it's interesting as throwing
light on one phase of local politics, and
is probably not many degrees removed
from the true situation.
