Mclean in Ohio Politics.

There is now hardly any doubt but
that John R. Mclean is taking a quiet
part in Ohio politics, and TO such an
extent as to try and control the next
State convention, also the national del
egation. AS to the latter there is no
doubt, and his plan is quiet one and
on it's face no one could discern a
ripple, yet when little search is made
Mclean is found at the bottom, and
with no Bryan coloTs about him. His
actions and his recent editorial show
that the Enquirer man Is drifting
away from Bryan and as some char
liable Democrats say. one coul- hardly
expect him TO go back on his brother
in-law, Admiral Dewey. Others say
that he is too shrewd a politician 10 be
drawn into the hopeless campaign Of
Dewey. assE
Mclean ran for Governor one year
ago and was defeated, although he
made strong campaign. He was not
the man to unite the party, and he went
down in defeat. At the time Of his
nomination he was charged with be-
ing against Bryan, but he denied any
such statements and said Bryan was
his choice. Ohio Democracy has but
one candidate, and that Is Bryan, and
for any one TO try and set up an anti
Bryan delegation is like Haunting a
red rag before q mad bull. Ohio

THE FACTS N THE MATTER.
COUNTY COMMITTEES ACTION
Explain ed-DeIegates to the Clarks-
burg Convention Departed Yester-
day-The Count of the Vote in
Union District COMPREHENSIVE
Nominated for Assessor-Other Po-
litical Notes.

1t seldom happens that our hypocrit-
ical neighbor the Intelligencer, awakeS
to the fact that there is something go
ing on in the local world, but after
three days silent incubating it sud-
! denly realizes there was rouS-
ing Democratic ourpOuring on the pre-
ceeding Saturday in the shape of DEM
ocratic primaries, and as it was a
matter of news as well as an astonish-
er to the Republican ring of Ohio coun-
ty, something must be done to neutral
ize its effect-if possible-as well as to
get some important news before In
telligencer readers. Hence in yester-
day mornings issue it gave publicity
to the news which has appeared forty
eight hours earlier in the Register, ac-
companied with the subjoined premed-
itated and malicious bit of misrepre-
sentation:
The worst that ever happened is the
publfc's verdict anent the late lamented
Democratic primary election 1t appears
10 have been utterly without manage
ment, and certainly County Chairman
James B. fancy has not added any laurel
wreaths TO his head-piece of political
glory as the result of the affair. There
was no official tabulation, the newspaper
tabulation being depended upon; the COM
mittee did not receive the returns of the
missing precinct in Liberty on Sunday:
and in Union district the count of votes
is still uncompleted, and not likely to be
finished before tonight. Not only this.
but the chairman of the committee al
lows the ballot box In Union district, said
to contain 1SS uncounted ballots. to re-
main at police headquarters, where any
one so disposed might abstract it or get
in some crooked work, and Chairman
fancy none the wiser
The Intelligencer could have had the
truth for the asking, by calling on the
Democratic Executive Committee Mon
day night, while it was canvassing the
vote, important news which no reader
of that sheet could find in its col
umns yesterday morning as far as re-
celved, but it preferred to do some
tall and lofty lying to telling the truth,
and if it had asked it woulu have been
told that owing to the very long ticket
in Union and the extraordinary large
vote-much larger than the Republican
vote-that the judges and clerks could
not finish the count in the usual time,
and as both judges are working men
and had to work Monday they post
poned the finish of the count for
day. This was perfectly satisfactory
to the committee under the circum-
stances, if it was not to the Intelli-
gencer. The ballot box was locked,
each judge having a key and left In
care of the Chief of Police for safe
keeping, pending the completion of the
count. Is there a safer place in the
city for it, or is the Intelligencer MAX
ing an underhanded thrust upon the
Chiefs integrity and responsibility?
"a trick it is not incapable of doing
when it wants to, as witness the above
extract. Like murder its byr ocritical
| characteristics will out in spite of it.
