comes the story that the Hon. Charles
II. Grosvenor. member of congress from
the Eleventh district for 20 years. sta
tisticisn at large for the Republican party
and member of the committee on rules
that dominates the house. met his politi-
cal Waterloo in a fEht in his home
county last week over the selection OF a
county committee.
According 10 this story, "a ~ the S

tee will have the naming of the county's
delegates 70 the congressional convention
and as candidate without the backing
OF this county cuts sorry figure In a
congressional contest in Ohio, the conclu-
sion reached by the generals friends
was that the tide had turned for him
and that the Fifty-ninth congress would
be the last in which he would figure.
From Ohio yesterday came General
Grosvenor, and. while he is OF the type
OF statesman and warrier that never
knows defeat, or. in any event, never
admits II. he confirms, in a measure. the
report.
He said last night that he had not de-
cided whethcr he would be candidate
for denomination He would not admit
that the newly selected county commit
tee Is unfriendly to him, and he said that
if ne were q candidate again he would be
renominated and reelected. but ne added
that he had not decided whether he
would see another nomination.
Last year. when General Grosvenor was
candidate for denomination 90 the
Fifty-ninth congress. he went through
fight OF the kind that tries politicians
souls, and after Il was over he had Sc
cured the nomination only by promising
that he would retire after this term. hav-
ing rounded out 20 years in the house.
The general never confirmed that re-
port. nor did he deny it. but the fact
that he had such struggle 10 pull
through last wear strengthens the cur
rent gossip that he has met defeat.
The passing Of General Grosvenor from
the house will be regarded as an event
OF party. n not of national movement.
For campaign after campaign he has
been a man upon whom the Republicans
have depended for their snte-eiection pre-
