The friends of Judge Nash and CHAIR.
man Daueherty have been scurrying the
state during the past week in an effort
to secure pledges of support for their re
epective candidates from influential Re.
publicans. Senator Hanna, previous to
his departure from Washington, was
visited at his Cleveland home by Mr..
John R. Malloy and Mr.. Howard w.
Warrington, the former making the trip
in the interest Of Judge George X. Nash
and the latter in behalf of Chairman
Daugherty. Mr.. Malloy.srefuses to dis
close what Hanna said to him, but to Mr..
Warrington, who presented the claims
Of the head OF the present party organiza-
ton in OHIO, the Senator is said to have
been non-committal. The result of Mr.
Mannington's visit to Cleveland was not
satisfactory to Mr.. Daugherty and his
friends. In other words, Senator Han.
mas evasion of the main !question was
disappointing to them. There was no
news in the Senator'S statement made to
Mr.. Warrington that Daugherty is a
devil of q good fellew. Warrington
knew that and this was one OF the rea
sons urged why the Senator should sup
port him for Governor. All efforts to
get the Senator to make any positive
statements we're unsvailing 90 far as Mr..
Warrington was concerned, but Mr..
Malloy, as the representative OF Judge
Nash, is said to have returned to bis
chief With assurances of support from
the Senator and his friends 90 far as he
could whip them into line. He is said
to have explained to Mr.. Mslloy, how
ever, that he was having trouble along
this line and where least expected.
Secretary of State Kinney went to Gin
cinnati to consult with George B. Cox
with reference to Chairman Daugherty's
candidacy. Mr.. Cox was non committal
but agreed to "think the matter :over."
Other emissaries are said to have been
dispatched to other sections OF the state.
Interest in the gubernatorial situation is
increasing, and by springtime it will be
something awful to contemplate. Sem
stor Hanna is ct safe distance in Wash
ington. The railroads are closing up
accounts for the year aud no more free
transportation will be issued for 80 or go
days at least, 90 that the perspiring and
aspiring politicians will not be able to
reach him for that length of time. These
people have all been 80 busy that not a
single one has read the Presidents mes
sage. They are thinking only of one
thing, and that is the GJvernorship of
Ohio. Senator Hanna is reported to
have that the Republicans of Ohio must |
get together, and his friends Iare assert

Nash are sntagonizihg the administra.
ton. In view of this sort::of talk there |
is only one way for the Republicans to |
get together, and that is to follow Han
mas lead. Mr.. Dsugherty's friends will |
decline to do this, and the Indications at |
this time are that it will be war to the
knife.
