the commission of Capt. Wagner was
being prepared Mr.. Whiting received n
letter from the Governor in which he
said that although he deeply regretted
the same he found it impossible to give
him the place. Such pressure had been
brought to bear on him from Summit
county, that he was forced TO name
Capt Wagner. The letter staggered
the Canton man. He had made all ar
rangements to accept the place, rely
ing on the word of the Governor given
him several weeks before.
Not word as to the pressure from
Summit county. The day before the
appointment was announced, Gen. Dick

Which Was Given to
Captain Wagner.
Governor Nash Assured Him
He Had a Cinch.
General Dicks Interference Settled
the Contest.

The visit recently paid to this city
by Captain Herman H. Kuhns throws
some light on the appointment Of Capt.
Aaron Wagner to the Board of Pen
itentiary Managers.
Captain Kuhns is from Canton. He
is fellow townsman of julius Whit
ing, who was candidate for the posi-
ton now held by Mr.. Wagner. I'm
til the appointment of the Akron man
was announced it was believed that
Mr.. Whiting had cinch ON the place.
There is story back of the affair.
1t is another illustration of the abso-
lutte power of Mark Hanna in Ohio Re-
publican politics. His edict issued
through his official emissary, Gen.
Dick, brought the appointment to Sum-
NIT county.
Captain Kuhhs is the authority for
tuS iVhoWihS NeisiuH VI tue tTduSdc-
tion. He gave the details to a friend,
while in Akron. s3isf
-Four weeks before the appointment
was announced, he was visited at his
hotel in Canton, the Yohe,by Mr. Whit
ing, and George Hay, of Coshocton. In
conference which followed, Mr.. Whit
ing offered Capt. Kuhns the appoint
ment as secretary OF the new board.
He said that there was no doubt or
question as to his being selected as
the Republican member of the Board
from northern Ohio. He had the word
of Gov. Nash, that the matter was fix
ed beyond peradventure. As the po-
sition pays $1,000 per year, with little
work, Capt. Kuhns lost no time in as.
suring Mr.. Whiting that he would
gladly sacrifice himself for the well
fare Of the penitentiary. Several times
after that he talked with Mr.. Whiting
In reference TO the matter. Every time
he was assured that there was no
change In the situation. Gov Nash had
settled the matter. No one could stand
in the way of his (Whiting's) success.
Things drlfted along in this way until
The day before the appointment. While

from Columbus. Mark Hanna, through
Gen. Dick, settled the contest for the
place. The throw down of Mr.. Whiting
was one of the coolest in the political
history of northern Ohio. His friends
are not inclined to let the matter rest.
They are sharpening their knives for
future use. They await the oppor-
tunity to show their hand 1t is we'll
known fact that during the Cuban war
there was anything but friendly feel
ing existing between Gen. Dick and
Capt. Kuhns. This may have cut some
figure in determining the appointment.

The long hoped for improved pas
