JUDGE WRICHT'S
APPOINTMENT
WidenS the Breach Be-
tween Foraker and
Cox.
Senator Foraker Has Advdn-
tage In That Mr. Wright Is
Worthy of the Honor.

Cincinnati, o. Nov. 1T.-George
Cox, the local Republican boss, is on
the war path in his determined way
and Joseph B. Foraker, OhIo's senior
Senator, is the game for which he is
out cunning.
Cox is mad because Daniel Thew
Wright, of this city, has been ap-
pointed to the Circuit Court of the
District OF Columbia by President
Roosevelt over the protest made by
Cox through Senator Hanna.
Mr.. Wright was elected to the Com
mon Pleas bench in Hamilton county
on the Republican ticket. He made
a most excellent judge. He comes OF
a sterling aud distinguished family
He wore the judicial ermine with
honor to himself, the bench, bar and
the whole people. The Cox machine
turned down Mr.. Wright for a re
nomination. Then Mr.. Wright went
into politics and attempted to wres
lcontrol of the committee from Cox
and in so doing incurred the dis
pleasure of that potentate.
| Wright and Foraker have Away
been close personal and politica
friends. Last summer Cox refuse,
Foraker the privilege of being ;
delegate to the State convention
and Foraker came back by urginI
President Roosevelt to appoint Judg
Wright to the Circuit JudgeshiI
Then Cox secured the support o
Hanna in trying to block the ar
pointment. Wright's name was with
held until after the election whe
the appointment was made.
Cox now declares that either hin
self or Foraker will fill a po'itics
Igrave-that from now on there wi
be no truce, no peace-making of an
sort or condition.
If the Wright appointment Is mad
an issue, Mr.. Cox will find he has take
hold of a very warm poker. Judg
Wright stands well with every pc
son who knows him. He is eminentl
lqualified to sit in the position
which he has been appointed an
nothing can be said against him as
man or a jurist. Mr.. Foraker an
+, the President have all the argumer
on their side while Mr.. Cox has on
his bitter feelings.
Within the past two months
since Wright became a factor in IL
local situation-Cox has becou
president of au interurban railway
the Cincinnati, Dayton & Tofet
traction-and the president of
l. bank-the Cincinnati Trust compan
Many believe that he is qualifyir
for seat in the Senate, as Hanna
u colleague, in 1877, but his attitude
the Wright matter will not aid hi
in his alleged ambition, besides it
far from certain that Ohio will ev
give Cox the Senatorship or a
&C other office.-Special Telegram

A Lesson.

The great danger that may result
to the country, by the piling up mil
lions of i'll gotten wealth in the hands
of few men, is seen in the great
fight that is going on between PresI.
dent Casatt of the Pittsburg railroad,
on the one hand, and Rockefeller and
George Gould, on the other. Casatt
took offence because the Rockefeller.
Gould interest had gained footing
in Pittsburg, which was considered
a stronghold of the Pennsylvania
line. Casatt struck back by order.
all the Western Union telegraph
lines that had been put up along the
Pennsylvania roads, cut down, and in
20 hours, the poles and wires along
2, 900 miles of road were cut down, en-
failing loss of 8. 100000 on Rookie
feler and Gould. Rockefeller and
Gould struck back by sending agents
to England who talked against Casatt
and Pennsylvania r. R. stock, until
English holders began throwing 1t
upon the market Tor sale, ana IL was
depreciated in value and bought up
by Rockefeller, and 1t is said he will
control majority of the stock, and
turn Mr.. Casatt out of the manage
ment of the road The danger, in
such transactions, to the public is
not that one king is dethroned. and
another set up, but that it endangers
the stability of the stock market,
and threatens the stability of banks,
and might provoke a panic that
would be amenace to business and la
Dor throughout the whole country.
The remedy of these evils, is Govern
m MT management and ownership of
the railroads, the arteries of our
trade.
