Daily Messenger of last Saturda.
throws overheard and consigns tt
the scrap heap one G.. H. Bryson
and gives notice In high sounding
language that Mr.. Bryson is not
his lieutenant in this county and
in substance saying he has moth.
ing to do with him. Mr.. Douglas
holds a nomination as a candidate
for congress in this district as the
gift directly and distinctly of this
man Bryson. 1t was the seizure
of the Athens County Committee
and the refusal to have a popular
vote for delegates that gave Mr..
Douglas his nomination. That
result was brought about, as is
charged openly, publicly and con-
tinuously, by the conspiracy of
three men In Athens county and
one man dominating and casting
the vote of Hooking county 1t was
the most distinct and unqualified
performance of bossism that has
ever been perpetrated in Ohio.
George Cox in his palmiest days
would never dared to attempt such
scheme. But, the conduct of
the Athens county branch of the
conspiracy has become odious and
the result of the recent primary is
Il warning to these conspirators,
and for many years to come it will
be demanded of any candidate for
any favor in this county, that he
snail answer this plain and
straightforward question, "What
participation, if anv, had you in
the seizure of the machinery of
Athens county and the nomination
of Albert Doughlas in 1902" But
rs we have said that performance
has become odious in the eyes of
the people. 1t is odious of rascal
ity intrigue and combination and
the trottling of voters and the
turning aside of maiorities and
the strangling of opinion. And so
now what is TO be do.e? Mr..
Douglas has the usufruct. He
holds on to the nomination. He
got it from Bryson and John
White. TO those two men he owes
h 5 election, if he shall be success
fnI. They it were that did deeds
winch has promoted a revolt among
tie people of the district They
ARE the men who strangled every
expression of opinion. They are
ths men who refused to permit an
election of delegates from Athens
county by the people. They are
the men who seized the electorate
of Hooking county by the throat
an turned over the political power
OF the county to dastardly COM
biaation controlled by one man.
Mr.. Douglas has heard the rum
bling of the chariot wheels of dis
satisfaction from Hooking county
and has written letter in which
he denies the proposition that he
yves anything to John White and
insists that John White was not
matter of any Importance to him
in the affairs which resulted in
his nomination.
And now it appears that the
passing suggestion of somebody
that Mr.. Bryson was the lieutenant
os this gentlemen in this county
has brought forth from him an
edict in which he relegates Bryson
as we have said, to the scrap pile.
This is all we'll enough in its way
If Bryson is incumbrous, as he
probably is. 1t is well that he
should be exterminated and thrown
overheard. But what is the moral
of it all as effecting the chief ben
efciary2 Can he hold on to the
goods while denouncing BrysonP
Bryson brought the goods TO him.
The net has turned out to be un-
poFu'ar. The performance is
creating dissatisfaction. There
are mutterings of vengeance. The
p 'op e are talking about a desire
20 return to representa- tive cOndi-
tlans. They are even discussing
