OBJECT TO HANNA's MAN.
Col Dick At Head'of the State Executive
Committee May Cause Trouble.

OO"mlttt8 Nluy s"u"S AAOADAos
Columbus. Ohio, June 20.-The Sc
lection of Colonel Charles Dick as
chairman of the Republican state ex-
ecutive committee is regarded by n
large number of Republicans In Ohio
rs unfortunate.
This opinion is not confined to the
factions lately opposed to Judge Nash
In the state convention, but many ar
dent Nash men share the same feel
ing. 1t is generally understood that
Judge Nash personally would have pre-
ferred some other man to conduct his
campaign, but that he had to bow to
Senator Hanna's wish. Mr.. Hanna
seems to have grown more than ever
confident since his victory in the state
convention and has put over Ohio Re-
publicans. regardless of their feelings,
man upon whom he can count to do
his bidding.
1t Is positively declared by many
Republicans, who are not particularly
interested in one faction more than
another, that Colonel Dicks chairman
ship will cost the party 10000 votes.
The Dick selection is particularly OBJ
nOxious to the faction which supported
Daugherty in the preliminary cam
ralgn for the nomination because of
the violent attack Dick made upon
Daugherty and Cyrus Ruling concern
ing fees charged by these men for
their services in getting Hanna out of
the bribery scandal at the time of his
election to the Senate. Coming so soon
upon the bitter charges and counter
charges of these lsen, Dicks selection
is regarded as the Haunting of II red
cloth by Hanna in the face of Oppos-
ing factious and as n decidedly bad
piece Of policy.

9th, for Jimtown were not heard OF

The men Were Michael DAILY, Victor

Providence. Il. l.; Woonsockct, II. l.,
and Brockton Mass, respectively.
Their bodies were discovered seventeen
miles from the mouth of Old Man

The fact OF the tent flaps being shut
down when found would seem to pre-

GOSSIP FROM DENVER
AND THE STATE CAPITOL.

Denver, June 15.-The Republican
this morning says:
Thirty thousand men in Colorado
viii be out of work within the next
three days, unless steps are taken tc
end the strike of the smelter employees
The Omaha and Grant and the Globe
IN Denver, the Bimetnllic and the Ar
Kansas Valley at Leadvilie, the Eilers
and the Colorado smelters ut Pueblo
are closed.
The Argo smelter in Denver has COM
piled with the eight-hour law and Is
still running. The Guggenheim smelt-
er mt Pueblo also is running. The
closed works are under guard, but no.
where have the men made any demon
stration.
At Central City the men employed in
the stamp mills are expected to strike
at noon to-day. These mines have al
ready closed: The Commodore, Ame-
thyst, Bachelor Bachelor No. and
Last Chance mines. in the Creole dis
trict; the Calliope and the Hagerty con-
centrating mills, mt Ouray; the Cnrib-
bean and Montezuma. near ophlr; the
Iron Mask and Black Iron, Mt Red
Clllf; the Smugglcr, Mt Aspen; Gillett
Hiiii' Cripple creek. The Porter fuei
Companyat Durango has closed, throw
ing 100 men out of work. From all
paris of the state come reports that
mines are reducing forces. AT Lead
vile 300 men have been discharged,
and In view of the orders TO ship no
more ore TO the closed smelters little
except development work is going on.
Inc loss in wages to the men at Du-
range by the twelve days closing of
the smelter is $4,000.
Should the mines close all over the
state 5000 railroad men will be thrown
out of employment.
The danger of coal strike seems to
lie small. as the sales of this staple
outside the state are large enough to
make its mining profitable.
An attempt to get test case up to
the Supreme Court to determine the
consiitutionality of the elght-hour law
will be made.

KINsToN, n. c., March, 2, '99.
To THE CAUCAsIAN:-T The citizens
of Lenoir county held a meeting in
the court house last night to consid-
er whether Lenoir county would sell
her interest in the Atlantic and N.
C. Railroad. The convention voted
solidly against it, and will send del
egation to Raleigh to-day to defeat
the passage of the bill. Lenoir Co.
was fifty thousand dollars in it..
which she paid dollar for dollar for,
and Lenoir county taxpayers don t
propose to give it away to railroad
interests. / see no advantage in
selling the road when it is paying
the county five per cent. The rail
road cost the State and stockholders
about one and a half million dollars,
and we are only offered three hun
dred thousand, less than 20 per cent.
If it is sold, it will be sold withou,
the consent of the stockholders and
the county of Lenoir. And it will be
charged up to this legislature in the
next campaign for doing so. No
doubt that the railroad monopoly is
having powerful influence in this
matter.

Tha. Christian Amendment.
For The CAUCASIAN.

want to say few things about
the amendment to the Constitution.
Some fool Democrats CD are kicking
about It. They actually have the
audacity to say it is unchristian.
They say that, because after 1908 it
will disfranchise white folks who
can't read and write. They claim
that is wrong. They actually say
that hundreds of these poor, ignorant
boys, If they had had a chance to
have gone to college, they would
have graduated with greater distinc-
ton aud would not have made near
as bad record for morals as many of
these little wise acres who now want
to disfranchise them. Because these
men have the common-sense-s stuff in
them to back up and make an educa-
ton humane.
But l think these Democrats are
mistaken. 1t must be Christian. For
l read all the Christian papers in the
campaign and they never said a word
against 1t. l will take part of that
back. Our church paper did, and it
is the best one in the State. The
greatest reason for this is that it
costs more than any of the rest. And
| remember it talked right out in
meeting. 1t said, if l read it right,
that the poor ignorant man, white
aud black ought not to be allowed
to vote. That's great political pa
per, too. The only thing unchristian
about this amendment is, it does not
dlsfranchise the last one of them
right now. according to our religion.
And l remember, too, that the Re-
corder and Bro. Bailey were so busy
on this line during the campaign till
they actually forgot to say anything
/ about Estate Aid.' What pity
, Oh, l forgot! There was secret un.
derstanding of some sort about this
