been received he could not do so.
He went on to say, however, that if
unofficial information could be credit
ed, the tenor of the reply would end

Anti-Hanna Republicans Joining
Combination Again t Nash.
KURTZ AT HEAD OF SCHEME
Refuses TO Pay His Assessment or
Otherwise Aid the Committee.
Terms of the arrangement with
the DemoCrafS.-Some Alarm an
Cleveland Over the Recent Con-
SpiraCY.

Columbus, O., Oct. $50 many indi-
cations of collusion between the lead
ers OF ths anti-Hanna republicans and
the democrats are coming to light that
there is no longer doubt that there is
just such an alliance as was made in
1887. when the state came very near
going republican, on the Legislative
ticket.
The proof of this condition puts a.
new phase on the political situation in
Ohio and greatly increases McLean's
chances for election. Charles L.
Kurtz, the leader of the antiiHanna
republicans, refuses to make any state
ment, but from the republican state
committee it is learned that he has re-
fused to pay his campaign assessment
to the committee, and also to furnish
the committee with a list of his sub
ordinates in the state oil inspection
department.
A very plausible story is published
here to the effect that can agreement
has been reached between Mclean.
Governor Bushnell and Kurtz, by
tion, the legislature and all the state
institutions are to be reorganized with
anti-HannA republicans in the minor
positions. 1t is hoped that the demo-
Gratis and anti-Hanna republicans will
control the legislature again, in which
event Charles P Griffin, leading anti
Hanna republican of Toledo, is to be
speaker and Charles Gerrish of this
city continued as clerk
CONSPIRACY CAUSES ALARM.
Cleveland, O., Oct 6.-Administra-
tion republicans throughout the state
are much concerned over the Mclean
Bushnell alliance. They have not
doubted that the conspiracy exists. but
are surprised ait the formidable char
acter of the combination against Judge
Nash.
Democrats don't like the idea of
John R. Mclean bartering away The
Offices they hoped to fill in the event
of a democratic victory. They are
saying that the present state employees
have held office for four years and have
had enough Of the emoluments of poll
tics.
Ex-Mayor McKisson today insisted
that he was in no way connected with
the conspiracy.
Senator Hanna has decided to begin
at once an active campaign in this
county. He will speak in every alder
manic district in Cleveland. The SEN
ator will endeavor to check the, move
ment now well under way fer the can
didacy of Mayor Jones of Toledo.
