TAYLER SLATED
FOR THE AK.
One of List That Hanna Will
Get Rid of Next Year.
SOME OF CANTON's AsPIRANTs
VIII Learn with Satisfaction That the
Way VIII BE opened to Them,
But Hanna Has Chosen Morris
of Mahoning.

Congressman r. w. Tayler is listed
for the ak. 1t has been known that
several gentlemen are wanting to be his
successor, but they would not dare ap-
proach without the consent of the boss
Of the party. He has consented.
Tayler is to be blocked, A special to
the Enquirer from Athens shows the
plan. 1t says that the Hanna idea Of
domination and interference is to be
carried into the congressional districts.
While Hanna rules in Ohio no man can
get a congressional nomination without
the approval of Marcus Alonzo. Presi-
dent Mckinley and Hanna want n dele
CATION from Ohio which will be utterly
subservient to White House wishes.
This is all the more desirable, now that
Henderson, of Iowa, is to be speaker.
His election was made certain when
Hanna ordered a caucus of Ohio con-
gressmen at Columbus during the state
convention.
Hanna had learned that Henderson
could be elected with the Is votes from
Ohio. Quickly and quietly Hanna got
the Ohio members together and they
declared for Henderson, thus announc-
ing to the country that Henderson was
the next speaker, and that Ohio made
him sure of success. This put Hender-
son under obligations to Ohio. and Han
na-or Hanna and Ohio-which nova
days is much the same thing.
Henderson's election means that for
the first time the White House and con-
gress will work together. Henderson
will be but an attachment of the White
House. His committees will be pre-
paired at McKinleys desk. Henderson
will do as told. He will have reached the
summit Of his ambition, as he was born
in Scotland, and cannot aspire above
the speakership. This gives the McKin-
ley administration power unequaled in
the history of our government.
With a presidential campaign COM
ing on Mckinley and Hanna will be
autocrats. The corporations and trusts
will want friendly committees in con-
gress. They will be given them in
exchange for the same financial sup
port which made it possible to elect Nc
Kinley in 1896. With a congress friendly
to the corporations there will be nc lin
it to the campaign fund of 1900.
Here is the list of Ohio congressman
who are to be 'let out" next year by the
Hanna machine:
Jacob H. Bromwell, second district.
Seth w. Brown, sixth district.
Walter Weaver, seventh district.
Archibald Lybrand, eighth district.
Stephen Morgan, tenth district.
Charles Henry Grosvenor, eleventh
district.
Winfield Scott Kerr, fourteenth dis
trict.
II. c. VanVoorhis, fifteenth district.
r. w. Tayler, eighteenth district.
This marked for slaughter" list
will make long, loud howl all over
Ohio at this time. All the Republican
congresmen mentioned will doubtless
at once resent any interference by Han
ma in their districts.
Concerning Congressman Tayler the
special says r. w. Tayler represents
the old Mckinley district. He has been
Nc Kinley admirer and is considered
a powerful man at the White House.
1t is STRANGE, therefore, that the insati-
able Hanna cohorts are after Tayler
and after him hard. Yet the fact re-
mains that they seek his scalp and will
endeavor to make NJ. A. Norris chair
man of the state central committee,
Tayler's successor.
