of Ohio 10 Resign.

Columbus. O.. March 22.-Senator Fora
ker, through Gov. Bushnell. has over
thrown State Librarian Joseph p. Smith.
The latter's enforced resignation is an
nounced. The stab was no less at Nc
Kinley, who in the last days of his ad-
ministration insisted upon Smiths con-
firmation.
Mr.. Smith has been one Of the most
faithful and astute of the ex-governor s
friends and managers. There was never
"a Mckinley movement that was not first
not decided upon by Mr., Smith, or upon
the advisability of which his opposition
was not consulted. The butter opposi-
tiOn of Mr.. Smith to the EOraker-Bush-
nell interests could not be overlooked
Moreover it had been claimed that Mr
Smith has been largely instrumental IN
the grand jury investigation instituted
for the purpose of bringing an Indictment
against George b. Cox, the efficient first
lieutenant of Mr.. Foraker, and that the
state librarian had even said that MIR
Foraker would be i'm the penitentiary be-
fore he became "a members of the United
States Senate 1t was therefore arranged
that Mr.. Smith should be permitted to re-
sign. After presenting his resignation Mr.
Smith proudly withdrew and took the
