| 1t is not many years since a Washing
ton correspondent of a leading New
York newspaper had a painful expert
ence trying to turn the stock trick. He
was then living with his family at one
of Mr.. Staples good hotels in this city.
One day. on a lucky rise. he hit the
market for something over a thousand
dollars at a single clip. This did him
so much good that he announced to his
newspaper associates that on the first
| OF the month, some two weeks later, he
| intended to remove to the Arlington
one OF the best hotels in the city. Dur
| ing those two weeks. however, he kept
un his little game with Fortune, with
the result that the following dialogue
| took place between himself and q news
paper associate:

parading column was a little group Of
a dozen veterans of the Confederate
army. They came after lines of various
other military organizations, including,
of course, veterans of the Spanish

| Mr.. John R. Mclean, of Washington
and Ohio. proprietor of the great news
paper and perennial participator in poll
itics. is now engaged in a hand-to-ha

floor of the next Democratic State con-
! yention: his rival Mayor Tom L.
Johnson, OF Cleveland, and the stakes
| Ohio leadership, with prospects of gov
ernorships. Senatorships and Presiden-
cies in the dim distance. The Toledo
Bee (Democratic), edited by Hon. Neg
ley d. Cochran. who. in the last National
election, ran on the Democratic ticket
for Congress. makes the following oh
servations on the controversy between
]. R. NJ. and T. L. j.:
1T is possible of course, that Tom
Johnson has over-estimated. the import
unce of John r. Mclean as a factor per-
sonally. in Ohio Democratic politics. Mr..
Mclean rarely visits Ohio at all. al
fbpuph IL c that &c, oil
bosses have played politics in his name
for number of years. But the so
called Mclean faction is in minority
now and has been ever since MIR. Mclean
was defeated as the Democratic nominee
for governor.
Last years state convention was
controlled by neither Johnson nor Nc
Lean. The convention controlled itself.
and although Mr.. Bryan made the mis-
take of believing what he read in Repub-
lican papers and charged that Mclean
controlled the convention, the fact was
that the convention was controlled by
good Democrats who fought for Bryan
in 1895 and 1900. They saw no sense in
stubbornly sticking to lost cause. and
believed the Ohio Democracy had De-
nocracy and brains enough to write
platform that was thoroughly Demo-
cratic and up TO date. And they were
all good friends of Mr.. Bryan and better
friends OF the Democratic party
We see no demand for fight now
between johnson and Mclean. There is
no sense in it,
