THEY OBJECT TO DICK.
Ohio Party Men Resent the Appoint
ment Made by Hanna.

Columbus, O., June 2O.-The forcing
of Congressman c. w. F. Dick upon the
Republican party of Ohio and its candi-
dates for state offices as their executive
chairman by Senator Hanna is distaste-
full to every Republican in Ohio. All of
the candidates on the state ticket with
the exception of Judge Nash protested
against his selection to the chairmanship.
Hanna wanted him and that settled it.
a little more than a month ago Cyrus
Huling, chairman of the Republican
state central committee, delivered to
the public his opinion of the character
of Colonel Dick, which was shared in
by most of the Republicans of the state.
1t was called out by intimatiOn from
Dick that Huling and Harry Daugherty
had charged Hanna eXOrbitant fees for
defending him in the bribery investiga-
tion. Mr.. Huling, among other things,
said:
I was employed by Mr.. Dick as coun-
sci to represent Mr.. Hanna and his
friends, who were either directly or in
directly under investigation by the SEN
ate committee. I had every reason to
believe that I was so employed because
I had some local reputation in the de-
fense of criminal cases. To show the
ungrateful and malicious character of
this attack by Mr.. Dick upon my pro-
fessiOnal reputation. it is only neces-
sary to say that almost, if not quite all,
the services rendered were occasioned
by the conduct of Mr.. Dick during the
senatorial contest. II is characteristic
of the man. He knows neither graft
tude nor professional honor. else he
would not violate the courtesies of the
profession by slandering lawyers who
he knows have saved him what little
reputation he has left
Huling offered to furnish Hanna and
Dick an itemized statement of his work
during the senatorial investigation, but
up to this time it has not been called
for. The name, Check book Dick" has
stuck to him ever sine he attempted to
guide the work of a Populist state con-
vention several years ago. Having con-
troll of Hanna's check-book he 'staked'
a few of the delegates, paying them in
checks. The checks are still on exhibi-
ton here

TOPEKA AVENUE MATTER
The Railway COmPany's PropO-
SitiOn to Remove the Car
Tracks.

President Baker of the City Railway
company. has made a proposition to
the property owners on Topeka, avenue
between Tenth and Fourteenth streets
which is likely to amicably adjust the
pending differences involving the city,
the resident owners and the railway
company.
The proposition was brought about by
conference between Mayor Drew, sew
eraI of the cOuncilmen and Mr.. Baker.
The latter submits written state
ment that in view of the pronounced
feeling the part of the Topeka ave-
nue. people against a car line that his
company is disposed to abandon the
construction of the proposed double line
south of Tenth street and will also re-
move the present old single track now
in the center of the avenue between
Tenth and Fourteenth streets provided
the company will be put to no expense
to reDaVe the opening left when the
track is removed.
Petitions have been proposed to this
end, the property owners agreeing to
pay a maximum of $16.82 per lot which
is the carefully estimated expense of
the material per lot, the city assuming
the labor. The space to be paved is
about twelve feet in width. Two lay
ers of vitrified brick are required, one
layer set on edge. The proposition of
the street car company in view of all
the circumstances seems to be very
generally satisfactory. The petitions
were circulated last evening and there
was found to be practically no opposi-
ton.
The street car company is making no
threats that the Journal is aware of and
the property owners are accepting the
proposition in good faith as a solution
of a problem which will make Topeka
avenue one of the finest OF driving
bOuleVards.
The expense is to be borne by the
property owners in the same manner as
that of the original paving except that
the lots on the avenue alone and not on
cross streets, stand the assessment
