With all his faults and foibies, Ma
ior General Charles Dick, the hero of
Scntiago, and the rIght-nand man of
tile Presidents right-haDr man, has
the affection Of every newspaper man
in the State, whether he be Republican
or Democrat, Populist or Prohibition
list. When a correspondent goes 10
Dick, be is assured of u courteous re-
ception and he knows that he may
rely absolutely upon what Dick tells
him. The warrior may not tell the
whole truth, but he will tell nothing
but the truth, and lie will tell ali he
thinks wise. Dick remembers the name
of every one of the vast army Of news
paper men with whom be comes IN con-
tact and lie tries to help them all. His
political methods may be little shady,
judged from the highest standard Of
honor, but be tells the public the facts.

Names OF Democratic Big Four
Candidates.
Special Correspondence

Columbus, April 30.--Congressman
John ]. Lentz, an intimate personal
and political friend of William Jen-
nings Bryan, will preside over the
Democratic rally at the Columbus au-
ditorium on Tuesday evening and will
introduce Mr.. Bryan. All the most
prominent Democrats of the city have
been made vice presidents and the
gathering will be great success from
the standpoint of numbers. The dis
tinguished visitor will remain In Co
lumbus only few hours and the plan
to give a banquet in his honor has
been abandoned for that reason.
Mr.. Bryan was persuaded to visit
Ohio's capitol at this time by w. B.
| Childers, prominent Democrat who
acted as chairman of the city execu-
tive committee at the recent municipal
election. His coming is n direct at
tempt upon the part of his supporters
to kill what little influence the local.
Democratic papers advocacy of the
nomination of Admiral Dewey for the
Presidency has had, The paper has
come ont strongly for Dewey, and,
while It's position is ridiculed very gen.
orally, 1t is feared by Democrats loyal
to Bryan that some of it's readers may
have strayed from the fold, The ar
gument was used with Mr.. Bryan ana
he consented TO come.

term, the people are going to expect
him to show little more backbone
than has characterized his first term
as City Commissioner. Mr. McMillen
should get rid of the notion that he
owes his appointment to a political
boss, rather than to the people, and
that political courtesy requires that he
defer more TO the wishes of the boss
than 10 the wishes Of the people.
Throw the bosses overheard and get
close to the people, Mr.. McN1illen, and
when you retire from Office two years
hence, you win have the good opinion
Of all your ncighbors.

One Of the queer things about the
convention In Ohio was the action Of
Hanna In allowing Joseph Il. Black
burn, dead weight upon the ticket,
TO be placed in nomination. 1t is ex-
planned in this wise. AT the time the
Cox ripper, providing for the taking
of the city government of Cincinnati
out of the hands of the people, was
before the Legislature, Mr. Black
burn worked heart and soul and tooth
and nail for the passage OF the out
rageous bill, He secured good many
votes for the measure and earned the
gratitude of Cox. The big Cincinnati
boss not only cast the solid vote or
his delegation for Blackburn last week,
but urged Hanna TO allow his uomina'
ton, saying that 1t was his only re-
quest. Hanna cannot yet afford TO
lose Cox, so he allowed the foolish
nomination. II the Democrats are
wise, they will nominate clean, hon
est, able man for the office or State
Dairy and Food Commissioner ana he
will win out No charges have been
made, so far as is known, against tho
integrity of the present incumbent,
but he is unpopular with the farmers
and Republicans are always opposed
TO the third term idea.

Never before in oil the history Of the
Republican party IN Ohio has there
been such open and unequiyocal con-
demnation of the methods employed
by the bosses, the self'styied leaders.
AS has been announced heretofore, The
nominations made az the recent state
convention amounted 10 no more than
the ratification OF the slate prepared
in Washington. To every man who
believes in government by the people
such dlctation Is becoming little less
than uubearable and there will be an
open revolt in the party before many

Monnett, who fought the trusts so well,
favored his denomination, although
he had already served two terms as
Attorney General In order that he
might be given the opportunity to con-
tinue his prosecution of companies
whose operations In Ohio he believed
to be illegal. But Hanna said no. The
Republicans Of Ohio did not favor giv-
ing any man third term, he said. So
the man who has the dashing courage
of Sheridan and the independence
of o Lincoln, was repudiated by, the
Republicans Of Ohio in convention as
sembled and Joe Blackburn, who
fought for the ripper, was upheld.

Virginia Delegation Want the Matter
Postponed.
The following special was received from
Washington yesterday, which SHOWS that
the Virginia delegation in Congress agree
with Governor Tyler that there should
be no extra session until after the piesA-
Dental election next fall:
Members of the Virginia Delegation
were seen to-day in regard to the propo-
sition to call an extra session OF tle
LEGISLATURES to authorize steps looking
to the holding of the constitutional con-
yention. The sentiment on the subject
was unanimous in opposition to the con-
yening OF the Legislature prior 10 the
presidential election. Not only the House
delegation advises against it, but the
Senate also, on the ground that il would
be inexpeGient, for general political rea-
sons, to convene the Legislature for the
object named until after the close OF the
campaign
Senator Conway r. Sands was seen
YESTERDAY and expressed himself as being
heartily in favor Of deferrinS the matter
until after the fall elections.
He said that, while he had always
heartily supported the convention PROPOSE
ton. both at the polls and in the Senate,
he thought it would be highly inexpedient
to mix the issues. which should be fought
out in separate canvasses. Senator
Sands said he had received number OF
letters from members of the Legislature,
especially in the farming sections OF the
State, expressing the hope that the Gov
ernor would not call them here during
the heated term to transact business
which, for many reasons. should be post
poned until next winter
