It is foregone conclusion that John
R. Mclean win be nominated for gov
ernor by the Ohio Democrats at zanes-
vile to-day. Just why the party lead
ers themselves best know the reason.
He Is the most vulnerable man the
party could have selected. and he does
not possess a redeeming qualification
for the exalted office to which he as
plres. There are some able and hon
est men in the Democratic party of
Ohio, but they stand no show alongside
of McLean's attractive bank account.
In fact, there seems to be no secret
about 1t, the friends Of the leading can
dldate claiming that he Is willing .
spend his money in large sums, which
indicates campaign Of purchase and
corruption.
Mclean will be easy from Republic
can standpoint. He has been, and is
to-day. the most venal man in Buckeye
state politics. He will have factions
In his own party TO fight, and his per-
sonalIty will not attract single vote
outside of the Democratic par;y's fold,
Many old scores have been treasured
up against him, and they will be set
tied with compound interest on election
day.

Some time ago attention was called
TO the fact that the Insurance Com
missioner OF Illinois was permitting a
nefarIous nest OF wildcat insurance
companies to operate in the freest man
ner from Chicago. He has as yet
done nothing to abate the InIquity, but
on the other hand, by curious con-
structlon Of the law. rather encour-
ages them to continue in business. He
claims that it is none OF the business
of the Illinois insurance department
fnasmuch as the policies written by
these companies cover property located
in other states. a base subterfuge to
escape the necessity of performing his
duty.
The New York Journal of Commerce,
in commenting on this condition Of af-
fairs. says;
"This particular commissioner has
nut several reliable companies to con-
siderable delay and trouble before they
could secure the right to iegaiiy enter
the state Of Illinois, and yet numerous
wildcats find 1t a safe shelter from
which to maraud upon other states. II
the managers of the fraudulent com
panies are not transacting insurance
business "ln Illinois" what are thSV
doing there? Certainly they are not
lonEshoremen or trolley car conduc-
tors. The underwriting reputation of
Chicago suffers because of the sloth-
ulness OF the Illinois commissioner.
While other insurance departments
have found 1t convenient to dodge trou-
BILE by the same improper construction
of the law, the Chicago output Of Wild
cat policies far excels the total Of all
other cities. Those interested in the
good name of Illinois and in the sup
preston OF rascals have a right to ex-
pect some dIlIgent action on the part
Of the commissioner Are they to be
Disappointed"
