Columbus, O., Jan. 21-The Leader,
McKinley's organ, has the following to-
day:
'Ohio will soon be engaged in the Sc
lection of delegates to the Republican
national convention. A few district
I conventions for this purpose may be
| held next month, but the majority will
be held in April. In the districts COM
prising Cuyahoga county the selections
will probably be made in April. 1t is
likely that the state convention, which
will name the delegates at large, will be
held late in April, giving plenty of time
for preparation for the national meet
ing at st. Louis in June.
The Republicans of Ohio are wide
awake, and are ready to do loyal service
/ for Ohio's candidate, William MsKinley.
/ Like stone will this state stand for
/ his nomination. McKinley's friends all
over the United States are steadily rally
| ing, and soon the cry will be "On to
! St. Louis
Who the delegates from this end Of
| the state viii be is a question which is
| not being discussed. It seems to be con-
! ceded that James H. Hoyt, Esq, will be
I a delega te-at-large. His state is being
1 mentioned all over the state when the
/ big four are named. Mr.. Hoyt's gal
/ liant work for the state ticket in the last
! campaign, his close friendship with Ma
/ jor Mckinley, his ability in argument,
and other qualifications are being urged
! a reasons why he should be appointed
Ex-Governor Foraker is likely to be one
of the elegates-at-large. 1t was said
yesterday by one of the Mckinley sup
porterS in this city that Mr.. Foraker
stated recently that he would he glad
to do all in his power for Major Nc
kinley's nomination at st. Louis.
This Mckinley leader said that For
aker would be one of the four Governor
Bushnell will, of course. be another mem
Der of the quartet. Whom the fourth
will b els variously predicted. General
GrosvenOr, Judge Nash, r. NJ. Nevins,
Mayor Caldwell of Cincinnati, and 9TH
erS are being talked of in this connec-
ton.
For the twenty-first congressional dis
trict MyrOn T, Herrick and Mr. S II
Everett seem to be the most discussed
and also the most favored candidates.
Colonel Herrick is a close friend of Ma
jOr McKinley'S and Mr. Eeverett is also
one of his ardent Supporters. Mr.. Ev-
erett has had experience in national
conventions, and has a wide acquaint-
anGR among the prominen, Republicans
Of the country. From the Twentieth
district Hon. VI. A. Hanna viii probably
be one Of the delegates. There has been
talk Of him as a delegate at large, and
he has said that he preferred to go IS
delegate from the district The other
delegate will probably be chosen from
one Of the counties outside of Cuyahoga.
Merina county is booming r. NJ Nc
Dowell, president Of the Old Phoenix
National bank Of Medina. There is a
movement on foot in some Of the coun-
ties 10 unite on State Senator James +.
Garfield.
Mr.. James II. Hoyt was asked yes
terday why he thought Mckinley would
he the presidential nominee. He repli-
ed: Il think the people Of this country
have reached the conclusion that The
troubles and disasters We have been
having the last few years are mainly
due 10 two facts; first. that the indus
trial interests Of the country have been
threa tened, and secondly that the pres
ent laws do not provide sufficient reVe-
nue., which is after all the main reason
for our financial trouble Major AIcKin-
ley's name is associated in the minds of
the people with a mea sure which most
adequately protected American indus
tries. and until that law was threa ten
ed and the conditions were disturbed.
the country reached its highest prosper
lty- This being so, the people of the
country naturally suggest Major Nc
hlnley as their candidate. Again. the
free trade measures Of the last congress
have been in effect un-Ame-ican. and /
the results OF their legislation have been
helpful to the foreigner and hurtful d
our own people. The people in the south /
ern states are beginning 70 appreciata /
this fact, and they are uniting with the |
people q the north on patriotic AMI /
economic lines Major Mckinley stands /
forth as the conspicuous champion OF |
American interests. He believes thar
We should look out for ourselves first. |
and the people OF the United States /
agree with him. They admire him also |
Tor his unblemished public record. for |
his unfailing courtesy end for his re- /
marka.ole ability. Then Governor Nc |
h;nIey 5 prominently a man whom 1
the people like 10 hear. Furthermore. /
the American people are chivalrous peo-
PIE. and they admire his devotion 10 his /
wife and homo.
= believe, then. that Mckinley is the |
most likely nominee Of thu national con-
Nenuol. because ne stands as the rem
resentauVe OF protsctson and patriot
ism; because be Is honest and generous.
because ne Is able magnetic. and aIo-i
quent; because he possesses in a larger,
degree than any other candidate The !
necessary Quslifca lions for ths --asi-l
dency: and because ne has more trends
and fewer enemies than probably anv
other public man in the United States |
today. In those STATE where ocher can
didates are being urged. Mckinley : =
strong faVorite as second choice. Whif..
Il is too early 10 definitely predict his
nomination. the chances are teyond all
question largely in his favor
