giving to him that hath and taking
from him that hath not. even that
which he hath. They do not act that
way because 1t Is mentioned In the
Bible, for they usually keep as far
away from the Bible as possible, ex-
cept for purposes of manifest desti-
ny" But 1t Just happens to fit this
case, and others that have one before
1t. If Grant were sent to congress he
would be a power II he got a chance.
And he is forceful enough to make a
chance, whether one exists or not.
As he is a Hanna man, he ought to
have good show, but, as stated, the
requirements are not material in the
Republican side and as Smith can vote
just as fast as Grant and 1t better
campaigner in Stark county than
Grant. he would probably beat him
in a contest.
Salem is evidently stocked with a
large quantity of dope, considering
the number and quality of stories that
come from there meeting at which
everybody who wasn't there was there
and everybody who was there wasn't
there, are among the latest curlings
from the pipe 1t may be said posi-
lively that coal tions taye not been
made yet. They may come, and IL
they do the man that gets the nomi-
nation will have to see Cameron, but
no action has been taken yet. II
Cameron decided to be candidate he
| will come out and go after it in such
fashion as Will confuse those who are
depending on the Salem romancers to
Ernlsh the basis for their calculations:
When Cameron announces his name,
it will be signal that he is going af
ter the nomination for himself. And
those who know say he goes some
when he gets started.
| The other congressional situation
the one in which Burton has taken
about the same action as Tayler, but
for different cause and on a different
premise-is attracting most attention.
| Concessions are being talked of, but
they will not come from Hanna. He
has sent word to his cohorts not to
give an inch. A prominent Hanna
man here said that the message Han
ma sent in answer to question as to
what his friends might concede and
how far they should go to meet Burton
read mot an inch" 1t ought to be un-
derstOod that the committee that has
charge in Cleveland will have a great
deal to do with the selection of the
delegates. to the National convention,
at which Hanna is more than likely to
! be a candidate for president, and will
have more than that to do with the
selection of candidate for the legisla-
1 ture, before which body Hanna must
go for his second term in the senate
In case he cannot get well started for
the presidency. 1t is not likely that
the wise old politician is going to turn
his committee over to Burton. What
does he care for congressman or
| two? Congressman cannot elect him
to the senate, and congressman do not
vote any faster in National conven-
tion than the laiety. Besides there is
no congressman up his way in whom
he has confidence, so he is going to
control that committee for future use.
He doesn't want fight but Burton
will have to do the conceding II con-
cessions are made for Hanna knows
Burton has designs on his seat
