able excitement and discomfort exists
among insurgent sympathizers, who
condemn strongly all acts of the colo

AN OHIO


Dayton. o., Aug. 22.-A special from
thc Cincinnati Timcs-Star was repro
duccl in the papers here tonight that
John X. Mclean would not be repre-
scented by Chairman Dan McConvillc.
Lewis G. Bernard or any other of his
former ~licutonants who are in this con
~ventiOn and the reason for him not
taking part was SaiG to be due to the
report that John z. Mclean is to sue
coed General X. \. Alger as secretary
of war in McKinloy's cabinet. This
caused moro stir among the delegates
than anything that has been sprung for
years at Ohio conventions.
Although Mclean was prominently
before the last democratic convention
for the presidential nomination. and
would have been elected senator in
place of Hanna if the democrats had
carried the legislature last November,
and although his paper( the Cincinnati
Enquirer) vas considered the leading
advocate Of Bryan and free silver. the
story about Mclean probably becom-
ing the successor of Alger is believed
by many of the delegates. They cited
the case of Hayes appointing Reyes,
"a southern democrat. as his postmaster
general, and later of Cleveland making
Gresham his secretary of state. and
said Mckinley had appointed Lee,
Wheeler and other democrats to lead
ing places and that greater surprises
in politics than this had happened.
1t was conceded that if Mclean
should become Mckinley's secretary of
war and the Cincinnati ENQUIRER an
administration paper, that it would cause
n political revolution. as Mclean and
his paper had been most potent factors
in this state as well as in Kentucky.
Indiana and other states for free sill
Yer. Fractional fights and all other
usual issues have been overshadoWed
tonight by the discussion of the rcports
ABOUT the attitude Of Mclean and the
Enquirer. While some delegates are
busy denOuncing it as an a~nte-conven-
ton sensation and ridicUlously absurd.
it is certainly commanding more att II
.tton than other matters which are not
disputed. BriCe, Sorg and other ele-
.ments seem to be circulating very stu.
.dionsIy the Mclean story whether they
believe it to be true or not.
