They Seek Revenge For Wrongs o.
the Past.

Despite the general supposition that
the recent Republican State conven,
ton eliminated them as an element
of the party they are determined not
to relinquish their cause, says a Co
lumbus special to the Cincinnati En-
Gujrer. The next movement antago-
nistlc to the Administration will be
to fight the candidacy Of General
Charles w. #. Dick for the Ohio men,
bership Of the National committee.
According to information received by
a leading lieutenant Of Daugherty,
George B. Cox is In earnest in the can
didacy attributed to him for that hon
or. 1t is stated that Cox is willing to
make the issue as against Dick on the
ground that the latter is now enjoy.
ing far more horors than he deserves
or than should be bestowed upon any
man. Dick Is the secretary of the
National committee, member Of Con-
gress from the Summit district, Major
General of the Ohio National Guard,
High Mogul OF the National Admin
isration in carrying out the plans Of
Senator Hanna, and has other official
relations too numerous to mention.
So it is argued that he should now
stand aside and give come other prom.
inent Republican chance, This, OF
course, is the Daugherty view of it.
There can no no doubt that In the
fight to make Howard Warrington
the nominee for Secretary of State,
the Daugherty people captured great
many of the delegates to the Philadel.
phia convention. These they claim
to still control. 1t Is their purpose to
throw their votes to Cox, as against
Dick. The Administrat ton managers
on the other hand, do not look kindly
upon any proposition to deprive Dicl
of membership in the National commit
tee, and are frowning upon the aspir
ations of Cox in that direction. Here
In may be the possibility of a breach
