Gallipolis, Ohio, Sept. 30.--Judge Geo.
K Nash, the Hanna gubernatorial cam
didate, found himself between two fires
upon his arrival here today to deliver an
address. A meeting had been arranged
for him at the court house tonight, and,
being under the supervision of the state
executive committee at Columbus, the
Bushnell-Kurtz element, which is so
strong in this county, was ignored in the
preparation of the program. In conse-
quence there was no little bad feeling
on the part of those Republicans whose
ideas of party fealty do not delude them
| into thinking that the fullness of the
world belongs to the great boss of the
national administration. Thus it was
that when Judge Nash reached the city
he found a most embarrassing situa-
tion awaiting him.
The local Hanna managers insisted
that they be allowed to carry out there
plan for the day, which was the enter
tainment of Judge Nash at dinner, a
conference with him at the court house,
lasting all afternoon, and the manage
ment of the meeting in the evening.
VISITED DIR. RUTTER.
The Bushnell-Kurtz element here, al
the head of which is DR.. II. c. Rutter
superintendent of the state epeiliptiC
, asylum, believe 1T should be properly
recognized by the candidate, even If il
{ were by nothing more than visit tC
DR., Rutter's institution. This is the in
stitution from which Judge Nash re-
, signed to Governor Bushnell in a mos
I insulting letter because of his eXcellen
= lcys opposition to Mark Hanna's sena
( torial candidacy. The Hannaites de
= clared that Judge Nash must not 81
D near the institution or he would there
!, by imply that he intended to retain DR.
Rutter as the superintendent in th
event of his own election. The feeling
of the Hanna element against DR.. Rut
d ter is so bitter that they absolutely de
: manded that Judge Nash snub him
= The candidate in this dilemma sough
advice of some Of the more conservativ
Republicans and was advised to go t
=, the institution and pay his respects t
= DR.. Rutter, inasmuch as the superinten
i dent controls several hundred votes an
7, might be able to WELD great infiuenc
y. in other parts of the state. Judge Mas
z then feared that If he did call upon Dl
r Rutter the Hannaites would be indig
v nant at him. In the end, however, h
concluded to visit DR.. Rutter and mad
It him a brief call late in the Afternoon
e The matter gave Judge Nash no littl
l. annoyance, and it is said by some of hi
e friends that he even wished that he ha
not come to Gallipolis until the Ham
n managers could have been first brougt
l. to a proper view of the right cours
e pursue.
T. CONFERRED WITH HANNAITES
There was practically no demonstra
tion today in honor of the candidate. H
o. was met at the depot by a corporal
: guard of the Hanna element and qu
etly escorted to the Park Central hote
l. without band of music or any attemr
~ at parade. After dining with member
IS of the county committee and others {
e the Hanna lieutenants. he held a lon
% conference with them at the courthous,
= The meeting tonight was fairly we'll al
S tended, the principal auditorium of tn
court house being comfortably filled
There was no great throng, however
and very little enthusiasm manifested
q G. e. Neal, a local Hanna shouter, pre-
sided. Judge Nash, who was the frs
d speaker. read practically the sam
i speech he has delivered ever since tn
e opening Of the campaign at Akron. Th
only difference was the additional @
several chapters that in his participa
. tion with the "all-star Hanna combina
y ton" were crowded out at Pomeroy an
c Middleport. The only utterance Of sig
# nificance in these additions, however
q was a statement to the effect that h
: had some opinions as to what ought t
e be done with the Philippine Islands, bu
e that he did not desire now to max
!. them public.
. Col. r. M. Nevin, of Dayton, the onl
other speaker, made his usual defense O
the trusts, and indulged in persona
s abuse of men who differ with the polit
i ical opinions of the Hanna hippodrome
, in which he has been playing the part o
: boss's jester.
