REPUBLICAN SITUATIONS.
(Froni the Cincinnati Enquirer !,

The latest information Is that Sen.
ator Foraker will not preside at the
Republican state Convention in Cleve-
land next week, though the powers
that be" selected him for that duty.
No doubt he has. good reasons for push
ing the honor aside. He is fixed for
his second term In the Senate, and
perhaps does not want to be involved
in Presidential politics at this time. AS
a presiding officer at the convention IL
would become bis duty to make a
speech, and perhaps he would not care
to do that and warp his remarks to
the plans of those who will manage
the affair, and whose friendship for
him Is not of the warRest sort. FAX.
Ing him as a possible Presidential
nominee himself, or an advocate of
the denomination Of President Roose-
welt, ii would not be unnatural for him
to desire to keep away from the en-.
tanglements Of the Hanna boom.
Though Mr.. Hanna might prefer
restraint In his prospects for the pres
cnt, 1t Is easy TO see tnat the State con-
vention might get away from judlcious
conrol. lii the event of so early STAN.
pede for Mr.. Hanna, Mr.. Foraker, be.
ing present, and presiding, would feel
obliged to join in the acclaim, though
1t would be against his own interests
TO 10 SO.
Senator Foraker has possibly done
his share Of extending the glad hand
across the yawnips chasm of Repub-
lican polihcs'in this state. He went to
the support of the Hanna faction for
the sake Of making Ohio unanimous for
Mckinley. He was promised certain
support from the Hanna people. He
has received it. He has had nothing
more, though, than he has earned. He
has been elected twice to the United
States Senate, and has taken a posi-
ton in that body that authorizes an
ambition to stand alone.
or course, nobody can harbor even
the suspicion that The Enquirer Is
speaking for Senator Foraker. This
family journal is simply med
ding" as usual, but 1t is presenting a
thing which no thoughtful man can
deny at least plausibility to.
1t certainly would seem that Sena.
tor Foraker would like to act independ
emily In matters looking to the Presi
dental campaign Of 1904, though all
the while preserving the amenities in
Ohio. About all OF interest there will
be to do at the convention In Cleveland
will be to make a platform. That vii
be difficult but Mr.. Foraker could moi
make 1t easier The situation is one
beyond political shrewdness. There
are strong intimations that subject.
which will be difficult to handle in q
declaration Of principles" will be
lodged, and that the men in charge
will devote themselves to organization
1t will not be Senator Foraker's or
ganization, and it may be wise for him
not to commit himself to 1t.
