persOns-men and 'women-are employed in
that Office, and they are all more or less
disturbed over the reported purpose of the
incoming treasurer, inasmuch as the ex-
action of individual bonds would be in the
nature OF tax on their salaries, accord

day that he had not even considered this

prepared to say what he would do.

from Mr.. Morgan to Mr.. Roberts Is a big
undertaking. and will in itself keep a force
OF nearly 100 persons actively employed
for at least three months.
A committee of three experts will be ap-
to super wise the work. One member of this
committee will represent the retiring treas
urer, another will represent the incoming
official and the third will represent the
secretary.

Specia! Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 16.-Accord-
Ing to advices received at the Office Of
Secretary Dick this morning, Senator Han
na will come to Cleveland on Sunday
Monday he expects to start for Toledo to
the state convention. The senator had in
tended to go direct from Washington to
Toledo. but has evidently changed his
plans.
tomorrow evening the republican prima-
ries in this county will be held. There are
TWO states. One delegation is especially
friendly to Hanna, and the other will vote
for Mr.. Hanra's Endorsement at the Tole-
do convention, although 1t is known as an
anti-Hanna slate. The fight has been a
remarkably hot one. and now. on the eve
OF the battle, 1t is hard to predict which
slate will go through.
Decided to Indorse Hannn,
This morning all legislative candidates
who have not been placed on the Hanna
ticket met and decided to indorse Mr..
Hanna This fact indicates beyond a doubt
that Mr.. Hanna will have the solid sup
port Of this. his home. county in the state
convention next week, but whether or not
he receives the Endorsement from his
friends or enemies is yet to be determined.
AS the light, which is one of the hottest
ones ever waged in this county between
Two factions Of the same party, draws to a
close the bitterness of the leaders becomes
more intense, and charges and counter
charges. rumors and denials fly thick and
fast.
The fight is simply one for supremacy.
Mr.. Hanna's candidacy for election to the
United States Senate does not enter into 1t
as an issue at all, because whichever fac
ton controls the convention he will be III
do-sed.
Gold Democrats Undecided.
Chairman s. H. Holding Of the state COM
mfttee Of gold democrats has announced
that shortly after the democratic state con-
vention he will issue a call for his COM
mittee to come together for the purpose of
carefully considering the situation, and de-
Gliding upon what course to pursue in the
coming campaign.
The exact date of the conference has not
been determined Upon, but 1T will undoubt-
edly be held some time in July in this city,
and it Is not improbable that the gold dem
ocrats will decide to support the regular
democratic state ticket and the republican
legislative ticket. Certain 1t is the senti-
ment as il is expressed by the gold demo-
Gratis in Cleveland is decidedly against plac-
ing an independent ticket in the field.
