DOUGH DAY FOR M'LEAN MEN
rJgBTT-ETGHT COUNT CHIIRnEN
MADE GLAD IN OHIO.


and to-day the Democratic "gumshoe states-
mon in zach OF the lightweight counties OF
Chi, have meandered into Columbus 1t 10
,n., week from election day. and these gum
,has statesmen" believe that a few prellm-
,r,rIes should be settled with their cam
ddn,e. and they might Just as well be
,,ttIed now as at any other time. The per-
,onel satellites OF John r. Mclean. the
psmocratic candidate for Governor. seem to
have impressed him with the notion that he
cao be elected over Judge Nash. the Republic
c,p candidate. The 'gumshoe statesmen"
,-on, tho interior counties took 1t upon them
,.vss to-day to tell the personal satellites that
everything was running smoothly for Mclean
and Of course the satellites made conscientious
REPORTS to their chief. In other words. 1t has
been dough day.
m. ,acas Of the McLeanites from the inte-
r,or towns and villages are tonight aglow.
They haven't been 40 happy in many years.
Not in a great many years has Democratic
state Convention nominated a millionaire
candidate. Within tho last fifteen years
several OF the Democratic candidates for
Governor have had bank accounts rang
ing from 100000 to S40O.OOO. They
ware considered very interesting candidates

democratic party 81 the State But II they
were nut loun AZ the right sort NJ candidates

with sl5OOO.0 900 at his back
All over the state have como stories OF the
vast wealth OF Mr.. Mclean. The country weekly
newspapers and s.mi- week lies and dailies have
all told repeatedly Of his millions During all
the campaign the boot-legger. and leg
pullers have been whctting their appetites
Tor to-day's events. With each day thelp de-
ttNa Nh.N1
hunger has been more pronounced until to-
dsyall these gums shoe statesmen" were ut
terly tamlshed That ia. they were In that
condition when they arrived In this city.
Tonight they are happy and coutented. You
see nothing but an les on their faces Their
steps are az light as those OF dancing masters.
All havs but oue verdict. and that 10 that
Mclean 10 the greatest Democrat on earth.
that Bryan isn't marker to him. that
Ohio never had such generous Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor. and not
70 end there the gum shoers" insist that in
all the Nation. since the foundation OF the
Democratic party. there has never been
Democrat with such undying qualities and
immortal and inta.lible attainmen.s as John
i Mclean
Mr. McLean's canvass has been conducted on
stealthy lines. The eighty-eight Democratic
county rhairmen to a great extent have been
completely ignored until to-day. when IL
vs necessary 10 put smile or two on
their faces At the last moment the
M,Leanites did not believe IL could he Alto
g-sner safe not 10 make things = little agree
abe for these Democratic county chairmen.
Bu: whore the ''Eum-shoe statesmen" who
have conducted AcLean's canvass in the
State by suhterranean methods received a
whole loaf Of cake. the Democratic county
chairnen received only an ordinary slice Mr..
NcLeaas Canvass has been conducted outside
OF the county committees in the State by
personal lteuteuaats. and this style OF doing
business had so anGrred the county chairmen
that It was positively necessary to-day to give
them bite or two Of dough-" At midnight
the county cha!rmen AMI the"Surn shoe RS left
town FOR their RESPECTIVE bat iwic.s and from
th!S time or they will 70 expected to put In
highly conscientious labor for Mr Mclean
Tns Republican campa'gnsrs are thoroughly
alive 70 the situation. Notwithstanding all
these stealthy methods they have known all
along pretty much what has been going on
IN The Democratic camp. They are CON
ysrsant with all the dealings Of TO-
dag Their eyes are very wide open.
l. Is mot an eIaggeration 10 say that not
st~v has been taken by the McLesnites that
has not been quckly reported to the Repubi-
can State Committee and the eighty. ri hit
Republican county chairman in the State. The
best guarded secrets n thu Mclean camp have
been almost imm sdtately told to the Repub-
Lean fghtars.
