The greatest significance attaches the
result in Senator Hanna's home city Of
Cleveland, where Mayor McKisson Il
the undisputed master Of the situation,

Democrats have nominated gold stand

Bryan Democracy has some respect for
q courageous Republican like McKisson,
but none for . weak. kneed Democrat
like Farley. McKisson's victory at the
primaries was most complete. The TO-
tai vote cast was 1885. OF these Nc
Kisson received 20,593 and Judge Stone,
(the Hanna candidats) polled 1892,
leaving McKisson . net plurality OF
6,30l.
The result Of tho primaries in Oincin
natl was clean sweep for George B.
Cox. In the contest for the control Of
the delegates to the city convention, the
anti Cox people only secured one dele.
gate in every eight. In other words,
Cox had l76 and the opposition only "a
delegates. When the convention met
and organised the next day after the
primaries the Eshelby delegates were
thrown out. The opposition TO Coz wss

Republicans Of Cincinnati that there
were now no factions in the party in
that city.
The ticket nominated BY the Cox con-
vention was - follows: Judge Of the
Superior Court, Rufus B. Smith; Mem
bes of the Board Of City Affairs, Albert
Fischer and William McAllister. Ithsd
been known for weeks that these men
would compose the ticket II Coz con-
trolled the convention. When Eshelby
was asked after the convention II he
would support the ticket he answered
In the affirmative In the most emphatic
manner, stating that the nominees were
men Of the highest character and de-
serving Of the support Of all loyal Repub.
licans. With this high tribute to the
ticket from the leader OF the opposition,
it is difficult to understand why Cox was
opposed in his purposes at all. While
the party ID now harmonious in Oincin-
natl, according to Newspaper reports,
the contest at the primaries was the
most acrimonious in the history of the
party in that city for years. In their
desperation to beat Cox out, Eshelby
and his followers sacrificed their Repub-
licanism for the moment and turned
their backs upon the bird of freedom
and the emblem of the party Of Lincoln
and Grant. The Cox people had the
Eagle on their ticket to distinguish II
from the other and for the further pur'
pose Of preventing the opposition from
using deceptive methods In their efforts
to fool the people in the matter Of voting.
