One or the personalities with which
the Democrats win close the campaign
leaked out. II goes to show that 1t is
ends, not methods, with which the
Mclean Democratic organization Is
chiefly concerned. Some days ago thu
representative OF large Chicago print
ing and publishing house visited Col
umbus. In the course OF his business
he saw Allen o. Myers. To him Myers
proposed that the Democratic state
committee place with his house an Or
der for $4,000 worth Of small American
flags, each flag to have upon It a pic
ture Of Senator Hanna. and the words,
This Is my flag" These mutllated
flags were to be distributed throughout
this state In the closing days OF the
campaign, said Myers, and the Demo-
Gratis expected they would materially
injure Hanna, for the people who saw
them would have no means OF knowing
that they were product OF Democratic
campaign methods. The Chicago printer
was decent He refused to take the
order, and Il Is supposed that Myers
has gone elsewhere for his printing.

With the approach of the closing
week of the gubernatorial campaign In
this state, the Republicans find them
selves In most excellent shape and with
everything coming their way. The
Democrats are demorallzed. They lack
leadership as well as issues, This Is
true locally as 1t Is VIGOROUSLY charac-
terlstic OF tine state management
GAINESVILLE Courier,
Messrs Welch g. Carnahan, the well
known wool buyers OF Cadi2, have re-
ported the following purchases made
by them during the past week. says the
Cadiz Republican. From Samuel Bax-
ter, Hopedale, five years clips, about
$4,000 pounds; price paid. thirty cents,

pounds; price paid, thirty cents, From

In an address at Cambridge, Monday
evening, Presiding Elder Jones, of Co
lumbus, warned colored voters against
the "Negro Protective" ticket. and de-
clared that II is Democratic sideshow
"a bad egg, laid by Democratic hen
and matched In Democratic nest.
A great deal of light Is being thrown
upon the NEGRO Protective" ticket and
II Is not likely that any of the coiored
voters will be fooled by such trickery
Nearly all who petltioned for the ticket
are Democrats who have no intention
of supporting 1t. The Chronicle prints
an interesting list of those who signed
the petition at Bellaire. Bridgeport and
Flushing, among whom are many DEM
ocrats OF prominence. The Cadiz Re-
publican gives list OF Harrison coun-
ty signers and says the first signer Is
chairman of the Democratic central
committee, the second secretary OF that
committee, the third editor of Demo-
cratic paper, the fourth a member OF
the Democratic committee, the fifth the
Democratic candidate for sheriff. All
the sgners are Democrats except one,
and there Is not a single colored man on
the list The same conditions are report
ed from all over the state. but are be-
ing so thoroughly ventilated by the
papers that the scheme is likely to
prove a boomerang,-Barnesville Re-
publican.
