A RICH PLUM.
An Afro. American Clerk in Ohio.

The election Of Hon. L D Laylin
as secretary of state in Ohio at once
brought OFT several candidates for the
position Of corporation clerk, rich
plum for which for years has been &C.

most prominent candidates we're Cal

Mace, he having held it for five years
nrayious to the Spanish-Amerlcan war
when he resigned to accept lieuten-
sncy in one Of the immune regiments.
Hia announcement that he would not

orrod the Endorsement of Senator Hsr ns
ard few weeks ago was as good as
landed. The old sdage of "many
ain betwixt cup and lip' was true In
his case, however, for when George
Mvers learned that he had made
nreperations to slip in through Senator
Hanna's esteem, he worked harder
than ever to encompass Fillmore's de
feat and Reyolds' selection. La this he
was ably seconded by Ralph W. Ty
,er who let no stone unturned to land
their fsvorite. The RESULT of their work
WAS Senator Hanna withdrew his en-
dorsement of Fillmore, saying that the
wishes Of the colored people should
frat be consulted, and Reynolds re-
ceived the appointment. If Myers and
TYLER had not early in the campaign
promised their support to Reynolds, 1t
Is very probable that they would have
taken up Doll, in which case ne would
have landed. Both Senator Green and
Mr. Jere A, Brown here endorsed
REYNOLDS, but they not being on the
ground did not know how fierce the
fight was, and when they learned tha1
Senator Hanna had endorsed Fillmore
were disposed to give up the nght
rather than incur the displeasure OF
Senator'Hanns by appearing antago'
nistic to him. Myers and Tyler, how
ever, are fighters who never give up
and az they hold no political office, nor
expect to be candidates for office. they
could well afford to put up fight Tor

dorsement of another man.
