IT has been decided that Charles
> Dick is to retire from the secretary
ship of the republican national COM
mittee. and that Perry Heath. first
assistant postmaster general, is to
take his place. This indicates that
both Ohio and Indiana are doubtful
states, to say the least. Dick is from
Ohio. Heath is from Indiana. In
Ohio there was political majority of
20, 900 against McKinleyism at the
gubernational election. And it was
conceded that Nash, the republican
candidate for governor, was more
popular than Mckinley. In Indiana
Gen. Lew Wallace and Benjamin Har-
rison are in revolt against imperial
ism. Mr.. Bryan will probably carry

their whereabouts known. Officers
armed with bench warrants are now
hunting for them. Their bail has been

to the summons to appear yesterday
before Judge Breezy and plead to the

Shortly after the issue of the bench
warrants Coroner Dugan received,

Salter, in which the latter resigned his
