many others. My position on the silver
question is well known. The En-
quirer favored Bryan and the Chicago
platform. This, however, is a state
campaign and state issues must not be
overlooked. No questions are of great
er interest to the people of this state
than those which affect the business

Mclean then denounced Republican
bossism and declared the Republicans
confronted by Coxism and Hannaism,
announcing that he would wage war
against them if elected, and against
state, municipal and county extrava-
gance, no matter which party is the
sponsor for the same"
But your platform declares against
the war in the Philippines? Do you ap-
prove of this? Are you ready to fight

Opposed to the War Against the Fill
pinos-Ouestion of Residence.
Cincinnati. Sept. 2. - The CONNER
cial-Tribune today publishes the fol-
lowing: Meeting John r. Mclean he
looked fresh after the fatiguing expert
ence of the last three days. 1t was
with grim satisfaction that the re-
porter proceeded to interview the edi-
tor, now no longer the autocrat of
newspaper but the nominee for COVER
nor and as such the legitimate prey of
reporters. In the name of the thou
sands of victims that he has placed
upon the rack, the reporter proceeded
to the torture.
This experience of the last few days
is new one for you, Mr.. Mclean, but
you seem to thrive on it, Yes. l
like it."
Can't Speak for the Head.
What do you think of the ticket and
the work of the convention?" Il am
delighted. l can't speak Tor the head
of the ticket, but the ticket is a strong
one, and all the candidates must be
better than the nominee for governor,
for all of them got more votes than he
did when they were nominated; and if
there was slate-as most of you news
paper boys stated in your ante-conven-
ton reports-it was badly shattered
by the convention, for the delegates
knew better than the politicians who
were the best men,"
Candidates Have No Rights.
What about the platform, don't you
think" Hold on, are you interview
ing me?"
Yes, sir. That is what l came for.
You are no longer q newspaper man;
you are the Democratic candidate for
governor, ard as such public property
and all the people have right to know
your business, if you have any"
Mclean looked like a man who had
been halted and told to stand and de-
liver. A look of trouble swept over his
face, as he seemed to be grasping his
changed condition and his relations to
the public.
Owns Up to the Indictment.
Eyes, you are right. 1 am public
property in a certain sense, and the
people of Ohio have a right to know
my views and purposes, as the candi-
date of the Democratic party for gov
ernor. The convention made the plat
form as it did the ticket, and it stands
as the unanimous opinion of the 47o, 900
Democrats in Ohio who voted for

Tanner is greatly dissatisfied with the
action CT the secretary of war in ap-
pointing only twelve of the twenty per-
sons recommended by him, at the re-
quest of the war department, for COM
missions in the volunteer regiments
now being formed for service in the
Philippines. Governor Tanner says IL
linois has not been fairly treated, and
he has sent a message to President Nc
Kinley, protesting against the action
of the secretary of war, and saying:
The appointments announced cause
much feeling on account of the APP
pointment of three officers from each
of three regiments and but one from
the Ninth and none from the Eighth
(colored). asked for three majors'and
got none. While | see that Iowa got sew
en- majors"
Reply of Secretary Root.
Governor Tanner received a reply
yesterday from Secretary Root. stating
that the eight officers who had been
recommended by him and who had not
been appointed were not appointed be-
cause when mustered out of the volnD-
teer service at the close of the Spanish
American war they had failed to pass
the required physical examination, and
that as far as the colored officers were
concerned the governors of states
which contributed colored troops to the
volunteer army have been requested by
the secretary of war to nominate COM
pany officers for the colored volunteer
regiment to be organized for service in
the Philippines, and that most if not
all of the company officers will be APP
pointed from the colored regiments
which rendered service at the battles
of Ell Caney and San Juan hill in the
Santiago campaign.
