Special to News-Demoerat.
Columbus, Jan. Silt has been as
serted by correspondent for Youngs-
town paper that b. F. Writ, state sena-
tor from the Mahoning Trumbull dis
trict t,would be candidate for congress,
and that there is much opposition to r.
w. Tayler in the district.
Mr.. Writ was seen by the News-Dem-
ocrat correspondent and asked whether
1t was true that he had decided to enter
the race for the congressional nomina-
ton in opposition to Mr.. Tayler. He
replied that he had authorized nobody
to say that he was now or was likely in
the future to be a candidate for the
congressional nomination. He had no
intention at present of entering the race
With regard to the reports to the con-
trary, he had not thought it worth while
to go out of his way to contradict them.
The statement of the correspondent
that politicians and members of the
| Legislature here from Columbiana and
| Stark counties say that Tayler is evil
| IDENTIFY growing unpopular in his home
| county" is a somewhat glittering gener-
ality. Buell., the member from Column
| biana, does not attempt to conceal the
fact that the postoffice fight in Salem
has been productive of some dissatis-
faction, and that Mr.. Tayler has been
subjected to criticism for not naming
the appointee at an early day, so as to
| prevent in q measure the bitterness
which has resulted: but he does not
seem to think that fact should count Sc
riously against Mr.. Tayler in his con-
| test-should there be a contest-for the
nomination.
Senator Wilhelm, of Stark county,
| would not commit himself upon the
subject; but he is hardly the man to
venture any rash assertions as to the
popularity or unpopularity of Mr. Tay-
ler in his own county.
Mr.. Snyder was willing to vouch tC
the fact that no such statements as
those quoted had emanated from the
Stark county delegation in the general
assembly. Mr. Snyder thought Mr.. Tay-
Ter would get practically the solid sup
port of Stark county for the nomination
Treasurer of State /. B. Cameron
thought it was too late for Mahonins
or any other county in the district tc
trot out a candidate against Tayler, OF
at least that it was too late to harmon.
ize any elements of opposition thai
might develop against him. He was
confident that Tayler would be renom'
mated with little or no opposition.
ABOUT SNYDER.
The Columbus Capital of this after
} noon has the following: Representative
Snyder of Stark county, he who wanted
to be speaker, but retired gracefully
from the contest. and was rewarded b!
being made speaker pro tenn, has bill
which he proposes to introduce soon
which will give black eye to the pay
ment of wages in orders or trade checks
Mr.. Snyder thinks this is one of th
worst evils the miners and others work
ing for big companies have to fight.
