HE MUST MEAN HANNA.

Governor Bushnell, in the following,
evidently refers to somebody that can't
travel on his own merits and ability,
but is trying to hide under McKinley's
skirts. In an interview, Wednesday,
he said:
''This cry of certain politicians Of our
State that any one opposing them is
against the administration will be very
insignificant in its effect, for the people
understand that it is only an attempt to
shield themselves and cover up their
weakness by hiding behind President
Mckinley, who is popular with the
people, while they are afraid to stand
upon their own merit, and seek favor
under the cloak of one who is head and
shoulders above them all. 1 want the
people of Ohio to know that am not
opposing President Mckinley. 1 may
not approve of some of his particular
| friends, but that does not mean Opposi-
ton to him or the national administra-
ton. I shall do what can for a har.
monious convention, and hope that q
man will be nominated who will be sat
isfactory to all concerned and command
the entire vote of the party"

WRONG ON BOTH SIDES.

The Methodist Ministers Of Chicago
have adopted resolutions against the
"expansionists," who have been having
public meetings condemning the war in
the Philippines. They are extremists,
who 60 30 far as to write to soldiers
advising them not to re-enlist. The
Methodist brethren are right in pro-
testing against such conduct. The sol
diers who are periling their lives to
maintain the honor Of our flag, should
be made to feel that they have the
whole country on their side. But we
can't help thinking that a little protest
ing against war for conquest at the
proper time, would have been the
proper thing. We found the man who
went down from Jerusalem to jericho
the FilippinO) robbed and wounded
and helpless, and should have bound
up his wounds and shown him ''whe
were neighbors to him." instead Of ask
ing him to change masters.

ANOTHER regular army officer has
discovered new whitewash pill. He
reports that the prevalence OF typhoid
fever in Chickamauga and other camps
was not due to bad locations, but to the
ignorance OF the volunteer surgeons
and officers. Yet with the transfer oi
the soldiers to other camps the cpl
demic disappeared, though the igno
rant volunteer officers remained II
command of the troops. The "profes
sors' who are doing the whitewashine
for the Government should put little
indigo in, to give it little more of I
''true blue" color.

When the Republican State Conven-
tion meets, it is probable that there
will be one-third Of the seats of the
delegates contested.
This will be because in a large num-
Der of the counties, the Central Com
mittees have appointed delegates, in
stead of allowing the people to select
them.
This will be the case in Cuyahoga,
Franklin, Allen, Hamilton perhaps,
and other counties. The evil example
was set by Nash in Franklin county,
and followed by the Hanna crowd in
Cuyahoga.
In Athens county, the Kurtz Central
Committee appointed the delegates, but
they did 80 only after the people had
authorized them to do so, by a vote at a
primary.
In Hamilton county the Central Com
mittee will appoint Cox delegates, and
contesting delegation is promised.
In Miami county, the Central Com
mittee has appointed the delegates.
They are favorable to Colonel Orr, but
the manner of their selection will not
strengthen him with those who believe
the people should be allowed to choose
their own representatives.
Dsugherty's county, Fayette, declared
for him in Convention, but in Richland
county the delegates were appointed by
the committee, and are favorable tt
Daugherty. -.
1t is evident from these facts thai
there is going to be lots Of trouble a
the State Convention.
| We would advise the Republicans o
every county where delegates are ap
pointed by the Committees, to sent
contesting delegates. There is an i'm
portant principle at stake, and it shoult
by no means be lost sight OF.
And when the Convention meets, i
should adjourn for two months, ant
|order the selection of all delegates
where they have not already been s.
selected, by the people.
The principle is well worth fighting
for, and established in this way, once
it would never again be violated.

A COMPARISON was sent out from
Washington a day or two since, the
evident intention of which was to show
how well the soldiers were treated In
the late war, and how foolish the sto-
ries were about sickness in our camps.
The innocent little dispatch stated
that while the number Of troops
called out in the Spanish war, was
nearly 275, 900 and the force called out
the first year of the civil war was only
276,OOO, that the total OF deaths from
all causes in the Spanish war was only
24 per cent. of the total force, while the
total loss during the first year OF the
civil war, was 6.3 per cent? But the
dispatch failed to state the fact that
the heavier death rate in the civil wal
was from losses in battle. In the first
year of the Spanish war, only the bat
ties of Siboney and Santiago, in Cuba
where only 5000 of our men were en-
gagged, were fought on this side, ane
only q few small battles in Manila
while in the first year Of the civil war
the Union army fought the importan
battles Of Bull Run, Wilson Creek, Ricf
Mountain, Lexington, Balls Bluff
Belmont, Mill Spring, Fort Donaldson
Pea Ridge, Winchester and Pittsburf
Landing, where the losses were heavy
and a score or two smaller battles
any of which was equal to any of the
battles in the Philippines. In the bat
tie of Pittsburg Landing alone, oul
killed more than doubled all the killet
in Cuba and the Philippines. 1t il
best always to be frank, and give tn
whole truth.

AN INCREASE OF TEN PER CENT.

The firm of Warder, Glessner & Co.,
of Springfield, of which Gov. Bushnell
is President, has made an increase of 10
per cent, in the wages Of its hands,
owing to the company's increased busi-
ness. If there was more of this gener-
osity on the part OF the employers,
there would be fewer strikes and more
happy families in the country.

THE gas companies of New York City
have reduced the price Of gas from 81. is
to IS cents thousand. Agitation in
favor Of municipal ownership caused
the reduction. There are amiable peo-
pie all over the country who argue that
the dearest gas and dearest water the
people get, is where they have munich
pal ownership, but some how or other
where they have private ownership the
price is always cut down, when the peo'
pie get to talking about municipal
ownership.
