checks were issued in a spirit of pure
philanthropy -Sandusky Journal.

The editor of Gossip" in the Cleve-
| land Recorder says: "The admission of
Major Dick to the bar is as great mys-
terry as ever was shown a letter from
very prominent attorney of Akron who
has been acquainted with Dick for long
time and has been familiar with all his
actions. This letter says that no one
there ever dreamed of such a thing as
Dicks studying law. When this legal
learning was acquired is the mystery.
How it was possible to secure admission
is the question. Is il fact that pull"
go in matters of this klnd2 That is the
| belief among the attorneys of Akron.
If so, it is not we'll to have It fully under

number of prominent Republicans, but
it failed to take place, owing to the non
arrival of the major. The object OF the
gathering was said to be to devise means
of getting the Ohio Republican league
out of the hands of Foraker for the rea-
son that his loyalty to Hanna is strongly
suspected. The dispatch further states
that Maj Dick is expected Monday and
apartments have been engaged for him
at the Auditorium. S. A. Perkins, Sena-
tor Hanna's private secretary, was among
those mentioned as having appeared at
the rooms of the National League of
Republican clubs to wait Maj Dicks
coming.
