to turn his back upon the party wilI
cause Republicans to do a great deal
Of thinking. Mr.. Coke's first sentence
will cause surprise and CONSERVATION
among local Republicans.
II never supported William Mckinley
in my life" said Mr. Coke vehemently.
More yet, 1 never will.
John r. Mclean was my first and
last choice for governor. have always
regarded John r. McLeans nomination
as the only safe nomination the Demo-
Gratis could make. He Is an ideal candi-
date, man who deserves the support of
all classes, for he is friend to every
body. His many acts Of kindness and
charity, his geniality and considera-
ton, his wealth and his very pleasing
popularity all combine to make him an
ideal candidate for any office.
John r. Mclean is the peoples man
for governor of Ohio. He has always
been a consistent and hard working
Democrat His liberality as public
and private man has made him justly
popular with the people Of the state.
1.-THE national administration, the
Philippine war and many other things
that l have not time to mention have
put the Republicans in a hole too deep
for them to crawl out of this year.
The people here have been disgusted
for long while. / am one Of them, and
I, for one, am going to seek relief
through Democratic channels.
John r. Mclean will put vim and
vigor into the campaign. What are they
going to say against him? He's never
held a political office in Ohio, and all
they can say, If they stick to the truth,
is that he is a brainy man, big hearted
and wealthy. If he wants to be COVER
nor Of Ohio he deserves to have his wish
gratified, and I'm going to help him
get there. The only thing that the Re-
publicans can argue is that Mr.. Mclean
lives in Washington, and that's lie on
the face of it. It's an absurd claim that
will carry with it absolutely no weight
worth speaking Of Ohio hasn't got a
more worthy resident citizen than John
r. Mclean, Of Hamilton county. What
money he has made has come to him
through legitimate business channels.
He votes in Cincinnati and his greatest
interests are in the Queen City.
"If John R. Mclean lives in Washing
ton, so do Joseph B. Foraker and Mark
Hanna, and so did John Sherman.
That claim is disgusting. |<
John r. Mclean was the only avail
able man for the Democrats to put up.
against Mark Hanna. Hanna is a dan
gerous man, md his presence and in
fluence in Ohio politics this fall will
only make votes for Mclean and the
entire Democratic ticket. I'm for John
r. Mclean and I am going to get some
Of my friends to get on the band

REPUBLICANS ABANDON
THE PARTY OF HANNA,
Cannot Stand the Big Boss and Propose to Do
Their Party Good Turn BY Having
Nothing to Do With Nash's
Candidacy.

A special to the Cincinnati Enquirer
from GAINESVILLE says: OF the many Re-
publican citizens of GAINESVILLE who
have abandoned the party Of bosses
since the Democratic state convention a
week ago, none are more prominent or
more pronounced in their views than
Robert Price and j. II. Coke. Both
have come out openly for John r. Nc
Lean for governor, and their position
has caused CONSERVATION in the Repub-
lican ranks, for they are men of means
and influence-men who love honesty
In politics.
Hon. Robert Price represented Mus
kingum county in the Sixty-fifth gener-
al assembly. He is a leading contractor
and builder, is closely identified with
labor, as an employer, and was a Re-
publican member of the city council
from the seventh ward for ten years,
being president of the body for five
years.
OPPOSED TO BOSSISM.
Mr.. Price is not so much opposed to
Republicanism as he is to bossism, and
sees relief from boss rule only through
the election of the Democratic ticket
this fall.
1T love the Republican party" said
Mr.. Price today, "but am disgusted
with our leaders and the high handed
manner in which they are bossing
things. 1t is not Republicanism but
bossism that I am opposed to and dis
| gusted with.
my opposition to Senator Hanna is
based on general principles. He is a
bad man in politics. He is a boss OF
bosses, and an elegant opportunity to
dispose Of him is offered this fall"
Mr.. Price here hesitated for a moment
but to the question, What remedy
would you adviser" he vehemently re-
piled:
II claim that the only salvation for
the Republican party, which l think is
the next best thing on earth to chris
tianity, is the defeat Of all the present
leaders who constitute themselves
bosses, and then start over again with
pure men for leaders. The only way
that see to accomplish this very de-
sirable end is for every loyal Republi-
can to vote the Democratic ticket this
fall.
IT think Mr.. Mclean is the strongest
man the Democrats could have nomina-
ted" said Mr. Price in conclusion, "Mr
Mclean is not a. boss"
MIR. COKE TALKS
For many years Mr.. J. II. Coke rep
resented the Seventh ward Republi-
cans in the city council. He has long
been regarded as a sagacious, clear
headed and judicious politician, whose
opinion on all things political has
carried much weight in the councils Of
