ALLEN COUNTY BOSSES.

Ever since the Toledo Convention,
when the Hanna delegation from Allen
county, was admitted on ruling dia-
metrically opposite to that on similar
case from Highland county, the gang OF
Federal Office holders in Allen county
have sought to rule the party by ap-
pointing delegates and refusing to have
them chosen by the people. The fight
is on again this year. Part of the Cen
tral Committee has appointed the dele
gates to the State Convention, and the
other part has called a Convention.
If Senators Foraker and Hanna, or
President Mckinley would say to their
followers that no delegation would be
admitted to the State Convention but
those selected by the people, this
usurpation of the rights of the people
would cease, and that mighty quick. Il
it does not cease the party will be dis
rupted and defeated. 1t cannot be
otherwise. The people will not be
trampled under foot.

A WISE SUGGESTION.

The Toledo Blade makes the sugges-
tion that law should be passed by the
Legislature requiring all delegates to
city, county, district and State Con-
ventions to be made at Primary elec-
tions conducted under such law; and
that both parties should be required to
hold their primaries the same day.
The suggestion is wise one. The law
would do much to prevent bossism and
political corruption. 1t would be in
the interest of the people, and would
destroy much of the power of the
poll tical boss.

Admiral Kautz on it's hands. He has
written a private letter to cousin in
Cincinnati, which the cousin very fool

should that give the Administration
any trouble? Is the Emperor Of Ger

WHAT COGHLIN SAID.
His Talk In New York Which Caused
the Trouble.

The utterances of Captain Coghlin of
the cruiser Raleigh, at the Uuion
League club, in New York, last Friday
night which called forth the protest of
the German government, are contained
in the following story related by him
to illustrate the character. of Admiral
Dewey:
''Our friend, Admiral Won Diederich's s
officer came down one day to make q
complaint. 1t was my pleasure to step
out on the quarter deck just as he came
aboard. 1t was partly by accident and
partly by design. I heard him tell the
admiral about his complaint, and I
heard the admiral reply:
"Tell your admiral those ships of his
must stop when I say so. I wish to make
the blockade of this harbor complete. :"
''The German officer replied, Bat we
fly the flag.' The reply of the admiral
was just like Dewey. He said, Those
flags can be bought at half a dollar a
yard anywhere There was no fun in
that expression of the admiral. He
meant it. 3r,f Z
Then he drew back and stroked his
mustache. He has great habit Of
stroking his mustache when he gets
mad. He said: Now listen closely
and tell the admiral as 1 say it. Tel
your admiral that the slightest infrac
ton of any rule-and tell him carefully
will mean but one thing. That will
be war. It will be SO accepted and re
sented Immediately. If your people arr
ready for war with the United States
they can have it at any time
'T'm free to admit that it almost tool
my breath away. 1t came so suddenly
We had expected it all along, bu
things you have been expecting alway
come unexpectedly. Death comes tina
way sometimes.
GAS he left with face about thi
long, Indicating by holding his hand
far apart-"the German said to me,
think your admiral does not exactly un
lderstand.' Now, you've all read Victo
Hugo's Les Miserables,' and what tn
first soldier said when the Englis
called on him to surrender. L confess
said something like that to him.

"HOCH DER KAISER"

The song, "Hoch der KAISER" which
Captain Coghlan of the Raleigh recited
at the Union League club, New York,

was written by an Englishman and is

American Asiatic feet. 1t is clever

thus:

Why is it that one man is old and decrepid
at As, and another hale and hearty at 80? 1t
depends on the care he takes Of himself. Often
a mans body gets out Of repair-the trouble
grows until it lays him out In bed. Whenever
a man feels that he is not as well as he ought
to be, whenever he is listless, without energy
and without vitality, whenever hefinds that
he is losing weight and that his ordinary work
gives him undue fatigue. he needs DR.. .Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. If he keeps on
working with his liver inactive and his blood
impure-he keeps his nerves and his body un-
der a constant nervous strain. He will not be
hearty when he is old. The Golden Medical
Discovery" cures many so-called diseases be-
cause nearly all illness springs from same
things-bad digestion and consequent impure
| blood. The Discovery" makes the appetite
good, the digestion strong, assimilation easy,
and the blood rich and pure.

IN 1895, the Republicans of Ohio were
a unit. So they were in 1897, till fight
was made on Foraker and his friends,
in order to make Mark Hanna the boss
of the party in the State. This is his
tory. We are not saying it was not
right to throw this apple of discord into
the party; but from political stand
point it showed very poor generalship.
