LEBANON STAR.
Ohio Prohibitionists nominated a
State ticket at Akron. For peo-
plewho have the courage of their
convictions the Prohibs are entitled to
first place. II will even require a petit
tion to get their ticket printed on the
ballot this fall.
OHIO STATE JOURNAL.
During the present visit of Lewis G..
Bernard to tnis city. the matter of se-
lecting a Mclean Legislative ticket
will be taken up. 1t is known that
Mclean has his preference in this mat
ter, and the chosen ones will soon be
known, neither is it any secret that
Sunday and yesterday Colonel Bernard
had conferences with several of the
candidates with view to learning
whether they were all right on the
Senatorial issue. Whoever are named
will be assisted by the Mclean ma
chine to secure their nomination and
election. There are likely to be some
very interesting developments along
this line very shortly, If the talk or
those who are left out in the cold is
to be taken for anything.
YOUNGSTOWN TELEGRAM.
1t is little wonder that local Demo-
Gratis are slow in saying which particu-
lar boss will have their support. Two
years ago there was a split over reach
ing a decision between Kilbourne and
Mclean. This year Mclean and Kill
bourne are travelling in the same auto
mobile 1t will be recalled that the
fight for the nomination at GAINESVILLE
was most bitter. the Kilbourne men
claiming that their man was counted
out by the Mclean floor managers. Re-
fore this was done forty Kilbourne
delegates were unseated and their
places given to Mclean. In view of
all this it is not strange that Mahon-
ing Democrats are backward about de-
claring themselves. Truly politics
makes Erange bedfellows.

That Filbourne has elements of
4 engtn .here is no doubt. TIA. lie
has nol.'iIa4 Weakness is as certain
He has most pleasing personality
and is gentleman in the best sense of
the word. But in politics Colonel Kill
bourne is an amateur and he has made
number of blunders which have ar
oused the enmity of some of the lead
ing Democrats of the. State 1t is a
fact that many politicians think Colo
mel Kilbourne is too new to be made
candidate for Governor and that,
while he is nice fellow and an ex-
cellent business man, he should let
politics alone.
MASSILLON INDEPENDENT.
If Colonel Kilbourne is nominated by
the Ohio Democratic Convention he
will run on a platform dictated by
John R. Mclean. Mclean has been
quoted as saying that the time is now
ripe for the party to enunciate plat
form that is Democratic in every line
and syllable Kilbourne hates Popu-
lism and free silver and other strange
gods which his party has been wander
ing after for the past few years Here
in lie the only harmonious possibilities
in the general Democratic situation.
MARION STAR.
Colonel Ki bourne is so sure of his
nomination for Governor that he is
said to be interesting himself in the
candidates for the other places on the
ticket. 1t is thought that the delegates
will be accorded the privilege of doing
the ratifying.
AKRON BEACON.
All the dust which the Democrats of
Ohio are trying to throw into the eyes
of the Republicans regarding the al
legged strife in their ranks is but ruse
to divert attention from the bitter
struggle and internecine war over the
Governorship and Senatorship in their
own ranks.
