Ar. Nose Goldstein, an employe In the
Pension Office, has a large grievance
against the Dayton (Ohiol Daily Times

spondent OF that journal. Mr.. Goldstein
Is good Republican, he says, and has
always yoJed the Republican ticket He
ih Russian by birth, but came TO this
country In 1876 He went into the regular
Army and had good record there, and
then drifted TO Dayton Ohio. Recently he
came 10 Washington and was given his Job
In the Pension Bureau through Republican
Influence for services rendered during tie
campaign.
The Dayton Daily Times, in its issue of
Thursday, August &c, Has an article on
the first gage, win large head, entitled,
Nose 6oldstein Turns Up Once More"
which accnses this Young man of most
reprehen 81 ble, ifs very clever, political
methods He is afraid that it may hurt
him and cause his friends to distrust him
aud turn Their backs Oh film when he goes
back to yton, and wishes 70 make sta te-
meat Th- article published in the Dayton
Times rs as follows:
The Ohio Republican Club had spot-

Association or Washington last fall In the
person of Moses GoiusLein, OF Dayton. The
very slick way in whicn Moses had the
Democrats pay his railroad fare 10 Day

one of the clubs executive conu,ittaa-
men:

he kept Tab on our proee edings and posted
ONO Republicans as TO our memberships.

saw him coming out OF Republican head
quarters insisted that lie was crook ed. lie
had introduced himself ut a me citing one
night in charact eristic speech that
provoked the widest applause. MY name

enough to give humorous and peculiar in.
teIesG to his quaint sent ences, he aroused
the boys to laughter and enthusiasm that
made him fayorite with every one, and
when he pulled out letter written In

Dayton, and which, when Translated

style, and, as Nose expressed it, Bryan
and Brenner was that much ahead. hut
whether Steinberg ate the cat or no /
have never been able to find out.
Subsequent proceedings had little interest
for Democrats, and I ALMOST forgot my
Dayton friend, until few evenings ago /
was being twitted by an Ohio Republican
about Democrats contributing money to
send home Mckinley voters, when the
Goldstein episode flashed upon me. /
followed up a tip given by my friend
and located Moses In the Pension Bureau u,
where he is holding down a fat job, which
l learned was given him recently through
Republican influence for services rendered
during the campaign.
Mr. Goldstein is shocked at every asser-
ton in this article. He was seen by a
Times reporter last night with regard To
the story in the Dayton paper, and made a
positive ,!enial of everything that is deroga-
tory to him in the dispatch.
Il did go to Dayton last year. Nose

by the Republican party. While there

any Democrat to pay my way to Dayton,
