the word came from New York that
it was to be abandoned. Mr.. Long
was absent in Europe when the Kan
, sas City Convention was held and
. though he has not yet read the declar-
alton of principles, he says he knows
! they are alright for the reason that
they were promulgated by Democrat
! ic convention on independence Day.
Mr.. Long finds the Democrats of the
state without any organization, and
| little or no hone Of success in the
! Buckeye State. He has called meet
/ ing of the state committee to be held in
! this city next Monday, when the plaHs
/ of campaign will be discussed and a
ways and means committee appointed
! to collect funds. Several patriots are
scrambing for the honor of meeting
! John r. Mclean at the New York
! Docks. Mclean wants to be United
States Senator next year, and of
course will have to shell out literally
this fall. He will do well in con-
test of that kind against Senator Fer
aker whose popularity with the people
of Ohio is increasing with his prestige
as one of the Republican leaders of the
country. Mclean will still be scramb-
ling for office in'Ohio when. Foraker
/ will have been called to the Pre3i-
dency.
| Hon. Charles l.. KurtZ has returned
/ from three months European tour,
greatly benefited in health and delight
ed with the trip. All sorts of stories
were put in circulation by the Demo
cratic press of the state and country
concerning Mr.. Kurtz during his alb
sence. The most important of these,
/ or the one which would have been
most important if true, was tc the ef-
feet that Governor Nash would not be
a candidate for a second term. and
that Mr.. Kurtz would go after the gu
3
thing Mr.. Kurtz did upon his return
was to enter prompt and emphatic
denial to the story. which had been
published and reiterated time and
again in the Democratic newspapers of
the state. Mr.. Kurtz is in most perfect
accord with the policies and the de-
clared principles Of the Republican
party, and says the thing to do is to
! look after the presidential campaign
now, and the gubernatorlal campaign
next year. He says there are many
reasons why President Mckinley
should be reelected, and many why
Bryan should not be. Mr.. Kurtz stands
ready and willing to do whatever lies
in his power TO contribute to Repub
lcan victory in Ohio
| Congressman Joseph H. Ou'h-
waite, one of the best known DENT
Gratis in the country, is out in an in
| terview in which he declares his in
tention of voting for Mckinley and
Roosevelt. Mr.. Cultivate voted fcr
Palmer four years ago on the money
question, and this year he is opposed
TO the Democratic party en- both the
money question, which he still regards
as an issue, and that of imperialism
| also. There are very few thlnkia :
| Democrats in Ohio who opposed Rry-
an four years age, who do not feel that
they have greater cause to do so this
year,

There is unusual activity about Re
publican state headquarters these days
and many visitors, every one of whom
brings in the most encouraging Ie-
ports from their respective localities
General Dick during the remainder OF
the campaign will have the assistance
of the officers of the Ohio League OF
Republican clubs, who rendered such
valuable aid in the campaign last year
which eliminated in such a gloriou,
triumph fer Republican principles.
