Representative Dick, of Ohio, other
wise known as Boss Hanna's man
Friday, has gone to Cincinnati, where
the middle-of-the-road populists will
hold their national convention this
week, and there are good reasons for
the belief that he expects to play lead
ing part in controlling the action of the
convention. Senators have been pub
licly saying for sometime that Hanna's
agents were offering free transportation
and hotel expenses to delegates to that
convention from various sections of the
country. 1t is Hanna's intention that
this convention shall nominate a ticket
of its own in opposition to that nomi-
mated at Sioux Falls, which he relies
upon to help the republicans carry sew
erel states by splitting the populist
vote, and Dick has been sent to see
that the intention is carried out.

The democrats of Tennessee are en-
titled to demand that Mr.. McMillin
shall inform them definitely which
office he is a candidate for. He has O
perfect right to run for senator, if he
desires, but it is great injustice to the
democratic party that it should be
asked to carry double barreled can.
didate.
The McMillin programme is neither
sincere nor attractive. In the first
place an early gubernatorial convention
has been ordered so that other candi-
dates may be shut out. By this means
McMillin expects to have the guberna-
torial nomination safe, and to have
plenty of time ahead to carry on his
senatorial campaign. After he has re-
ceiyed the nomination he can say with
entire plausibillty. 81 have made my
position perfectly clear aud have been
absolutely frank with the people. I
told them that while | was candidate
for governor, | wanted to be senator.
If they had disapproved of my course
they could have shown il very eifec-
lively by nominating somebody else
for governor. The fact that they have
given me the gubernatorial nomination
with the full knowledge that | was go
ing to be a candidate for the senate, is
an unqualified endorsement of my posi-
ton; and in entering upon q campaign
for the senate, i feel that have the APP
probation of my party"
We do not think the people haye any
such intention in mind, but certainly
the nomination of Mr.. McMillin may
be construed that way The early con-
vention gives him almost a sure thing
for the gubernatorial nomination, un-
less the alarm in the party over the
condition of affairs should spread rap
idly, and should bring out other can
didates for the governorship. There is
not q little apprehension that the demo-
cratic party will be unable to carry the
state with McMillin under the existing
circumstances. Mr.. McMillin was not
what may be called a popular candidate
two years ago. He got small vote,
and but for the unaccountable luke
warmness in the republican ranks he
would have been defeated No can
didacy in the last quarter of century
has excited so little enthusiasm. We
doubt whether Mr.. McMillin is as
popular now as he was two years ago
A great many of his earnest followers
then are by no means solicitous about
his success now. In fact some of them
would be glad if the nomination went
elsewhere. But there is another ele-
ment of danger in Mr.. McMillin's can
didacy for governor which we have al
ready designated. He is really not
running for governor, but for senator.
The democratic candidate for governor
in the event of McMillin's nomination
will be the Hon. Anonymous Unknown.
The people who vote for McMillin will
vote for shadow. They will have no
means of knowing whether they are
voting for the gentleman from Garth
age, or the editor of the Hardeman
Free Press, or Chimmie Harris, or the
Hon. Spose Gibbs, or any other states
man. The republican candidate for
governor will hardly fail to call atten-
ton to this flaw in the democratic ar
NOR, He will of course say that he
does not know whether he is running
against Mr.. McMillin or not, that his

A spectacle to bring a sense of shame
to every Keutuckian is that of the late
occupant of the gubernatorial chair
travelling about the country in order
to prevent service of the indictment
against him for the murder of the right
full governor. lie is now in Indianapo-
lis with ex-Secretary of State Finley,
another indicted official, protected by
the republican governor of Indiana.
The meshes of the plot have been un.
earthed and the web of evidence against

become stronger and stronger. Now
the holder Of the executive office, him
self, is implicated very strongly and 1t
looks as if he would be proved beyond

escape that conviction is difficultto see.

Senator Morgan is working faithfully
to try to upset the administration pro-
gram of hanging up in the senate the
Nicaragua Canal bill, which passed the
house with only handful of adverse
votes. He fully realizes the difficulties
of the task, but is confident that there
are enough republicans i'll the senate
who believe with the democrats in an
American canal to bring success.
Time will soon tell, but as Senator Till
man said a short time ago, the republi-
can party has the best organization
any party has ever had in congress, and
although they are at times spluttering
and kicking, III the end the orders Of
the boss are usually carried out to the
letter. In this case the order is to hang
up the Nicaragua Canal bill. A sena-
tor, who wishes Senator Morgan sue
cess, but whose name is not given, is
quoted by Washington paper as hay
ing said 81 am aware, and so is ev-
erybody else who has given the subject

be given the supreme court to pass on
