The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1902-06-10

Il. Archer was IN COLUMBUS
~ Friday, taking a general view
of the situation. Senator Archer is
the de jure lieutenant governor and
delights to stand at the Neil house
and look over at the governors Office
in the corner of the state house. His
eyes take a wistfuness that is most
pathetic. But Archer is not satisfied
to be the lieutenant governor hy ac.
cident. He wants to be the Republican
candidate next year. That he will
have the unqualified refusal of the
Hanna faction to have anything to do
with him may be accurately forecasted
at this distance s-om the contest. That
he knows it is equally patent.
But his political fences are not just
what brought him here at this time.
The governor is about to appoint the
board for the St Louis exposition
commemorating Louisiana purchchase
and as that is an easy snap 1t attracts
the attention of Senator Archer. AS
there is noe snay in the list that is
easier than others his patriotism is
further aroused and he is after the fat
test snap. The position of executive
officer will be worth about $4,000 and
found, say competent .inanciers. There
will be seven) members of the board
appointed besides the executive officer.
Three of these will be Democrats
Representative Brumbaugh, leader of
the Democrats on the floor of the
house of representatives, will be one
of these. Where the others will come
from will not be known for few days
The appointments are to be made in
about ten days. One of the RepuDli-
cans will come from the Morgan Noble
district, represented by DR.. Cain, who
is always engaged in hustling energet-
ically for his constituents. 1t is neat
little handout, entailing considerable
honor and bunch of fun, with ex-
penses on the side and a piece of pocket
money, so it is being quite generally
sought by those who have a chance at
the appointment and some who have
not
Senator Archer's visit has had a ten
dency to greatly improve the physical
condition of Governor Nash. AS most
everybody knows, the governor has
heen very sick man and looks as IL
he were not long for this world. But
since circumstances brought 1t about
that Archer would be governor IL Nash
were to die or be incapaciated by i'll
ness, he has somewhat recovered. He
has made superhuman effort to live
out his term and bids fair to do 1t.
He doesn't like Archer at all. but is
Obliged to tolerate him. Archer's
visits act as real tonic. The gov.
ernor Just looks at Archer and decides
to live awhile. His doctors are con-
sidering the advisability Of having
Archer pay the governors Office daily
visits. AS the governor would conten-
plate what would occur If he were 10
die, it is believed he would take unto
himself robust health again. 10 is re.
lated that Archer's visit Friday in
prov ed his condition about 20 per cent.
Discussing Republican possibilities
for the nomination for congress it is
remarkable that no mention has been
made of Judge T. T. McCarty, who is
available. 1t is said the judge might
consider the matter II it were not for
the fact that it would mean a bitter
fight In this connection an inciden,
fthat is said to have occurred in the
Stark county court room few days
