THE ROAD TO CLEVELAND.
The road to Cleveland has been kept
hot for . few days. Senator Hanna Il
now ct his home in the Forest City, and
Republican politicians, that is to say
those who belong 10 the Hanna faction,
have been going up there 10 see what he
might have to say and what new orders
he had to put forth. Ool. John Malloy
was the first to make the trip. He was
followed the next day by Judge George
K. Nash, and the gubernatorial situation
was gone over fully, but the Judge, It is
said. received no definite information %
to Hanna's intentions. Chairman DauRh.
erty also made the trip to Cleveland and

man Dausherty in Cleveland. His re-
ception BY Hanna IL said TO have been
frost from start TO finish. Daugherty was
there on Thursday for the same purpose
that Nash was there on the preceding
day, to see whether Hanna had settled
in his mind whom he was going to sup.
port for the Governorship, both Nash
and Daugherty having an absolute prom.
ise Of support from him. Nash, q stated
above, was given no satisfaction. Daugh.
erty did learn something according to
tho Newspaper reports which come from
Cleveland, and the thing he learned was
the very thing he did not want to hear.
There ID said to have been . very dra.
matte scene between the two gentlemen.
Senator Hanna IL said to have made use
OF some very profane language to give
emphasis to what he said. A Newspaper
occount says: "Hanna charged Daugh.
erty with having manipulated the State
Committee to advance his own guberna.
torisl boom. The late campaign, he de.
clared, had been conducted by the Chair.
man Of the State Committee, wholly
from . selfish point Of view.n Mr..
Daugherty il said to have protested with
much heat, but Hanna would not listen
to him. The latter maintained that Mr..
Daugherty's management of the cam.
paign had only made trouble for the
Hanna machine throughout the State.
To make long story short Senator Han.
ma is said to have told Mr.. Daugherty
that he would never become Governor
Of Ohio with his consent, and he was
very certain that he could not secure the
Office without his consent and support.
The friends of Judge Nash are now con.
fident that Chairman Daugherty will an.
nounce his withdrawal as candidate
and seek to get into the Foraker camp.
FORAKER AND HANNA.
Senator Forsker's recent interview on
the Governorship in which he referred
the whole matter to the Republicans of
the State is in strange contrast to Sen.
ator Hsnna's activity along the line of
controlling and debating the nomination.
Senator Foraker spoke in High terms Of
oil who have been mentioned In connec.
ton with the nomination, and said that
with united party the nominee of the
convention would be triumphantly cleo
ted.
DEMOCRATIC POLITICS.
Democratic sentiment seems to be cen.
tering on Congressman Joha J. Lentz,
of this city. % the candidate ofthat party
for the Governorship. A number of
Democratic papers of the State have his
name at the masthead. He is one Of the
best csmpaigners in the party, and just
the man to appeal to the prejudices
rather than the condolences Of men in Q
campaign. Judge r. N. Dittsy in . re-
cent interview declared in favor of Lentz.
Judge Dittey is one Of the leading DEM
