The Ohio Democrats, fresh from their
State Convention where they kissed the Chi
cago platform rapturously, seem notably
less ELUSIVE in their personal relations with
one another. Tho Hon. ALLEN W. THUR
MAN Of Columbia. whose love for silver is
as great as any other man's, speaks in this
frank and critical spirit Of another distin-
gulshed silver statesman and gem of Bry-
anism, the Hon. JOHN r. MoLEAN Of
Warrington and Cincinnati:
eve are going 70 wage unrelentins war against
Him. n viii nos oeass until wo have driven him
back - washington whore he belonga. He left the
state under . miserable cloud. and now no comes
back here with his dirty politics to drag the party
into the miro again. He began his dirty politics with
the state Convention and combined with q gold
bug. JOHN FAnInI. TO run . Democratic convention
sna TO disgrace q Democratic platform"
Mr.. MCLEAN IL q candidate for Senator
In Congress, and his busy II not uniformly
dexterous hand has been working at the
cogs Of the Ohio Democratic machine.
Some M-speakers say IL has been caught in
those oogs Mr.. THURMAN was . candidate
Cor the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernSr, and yet he will not permit Mr.. Mo
LEAN to be the Democratic candidate Tor
Senator, if'he can help It. Is such . spirit
fart Mr.. NOLAN and Mr.. THURMAN
stand upon tho same platform. Both do
ounce plutocrats, Mr.. MoLRANs denunci-
alton being especially severe, as he knows
what It in to be q plutocrat himself. And
hero IL Mr.. THURMAN rebuking Mr.. Mo-
LEAN, and speaking of that statesman's
political methods, equally renowned for
purity and success, as "dirty politics."
Harmony blubbers, but the rreconcilable
THURMAN will not cease to shake his fist
ct his dear brother Democrat. ct am a
free lance now" he says, land the war Is
on to q finish"
Nor Is Mr.. THuRMAN's the only fist of
fight. Thu Hon. ZURICH SLOAN, the tenn
porary Chairman Of the State Convention,
who stood In front Of q gold cross crowned
with thorns and pointed to IL as he declared
that the rich are despots, and that "unless
prevailing conditions are soon changed the
poor soon will become banditti," has re-
nounced the unfortunate MCLEAN since tho
convention. It had been expected that Mr..
MCLEAN would try to have Mr.. ROBERT 7.
HoUaH nominated for Governor. Instead
he is charged by Mr.. SLOAN and Mr..
HoUaH's friends in general with having
betrayed" HoUaH. Mr.. SnoAN's language
In reference to Mr.. MCLEAN is far from
brotherly, and warm enough to have melted
the telephone wires. "Ihave Just talked to
JOIN r. NOLAN over the telephone" said
Mr.. SLOAN to Q correspondent Of the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer, and 1 have told him
Just ono thing. 1 told him that he is a trai.
tor and q coward, and that he has proved
himself assuch. That is all l said" Probably

phone thought that the conversation was
sufficiently long. Mr.. SLOAN occasionally
varies the form of his description Of Mr.
MCLEAN by remarking that he is "a cow
ard and q traitor" Mr.. SLOAN complains
and all the friends Of Mr.. HoUaH think
that they have reason to complain of the
methods by which the nomination of Mr.
CHAPMAN for Governor was brought about
Mr.. CHAPMAN Is permitted to be rich, bui
Mr.. NOLAN IL regarded by many Of thu
brethren as not only q coward and q trai
tor, but a rich despot, one of the very per
sons whose conduct is to drive the poor
into the banditti business If the Hon
ZURICH SLOAN prophetic soul reads tn,
land of fate correctly.

r like Mr.. BRYAN's, for instance, to see thes,
rents and assures in tho Chicago ark. Mus
the cause of 16 to l be forgotten in thes'

nifty to protest against government by in
junction be lost while Mr.. THURMAN anC
Mr.. SLOAN are protesting in such robus
Z speech against the performances Of Mr.. Nc
