SLAUGHTERED
Was J. P. Alexander
"In the. House of His
Friends."
The Senator Tells How
It Happened.
No Man Could Withstand the
Hanna-Cox Deal.
Mr. Alexander Intends to Go Back to
the. Senate.
t
When from the rooms of the Lin
coln Republican League at Colum
bus a large United States flag was
hung out Friday, as an announce
ment of Mr. Hanna's victory in con
trolling the State convention, and a
great crowd of delegates surged
about and sang in chorus, "Great Is
Hanna of the Bepublikites," the
causual observer might have imag
ined that the party harmony was
even blissful. But good jobs for
nice and obedient politicians, "to be
tendered in" the near future," it-is
said, did more to cause that harmony
than the delegates' satisfaction over
the results of the convention.
Yet the harmony was not univer
sal, for while the great love-feast
was going one, pale blue breezes
were emanating from the camps of
Foraker, Kurtz and McKisson,
whose warriors on the return home
were obliged to chant such songs as
"Tell It Softly and Gently," and
"Who'll Put Flowers on Our -Lead-ers'
Political Graves?"
But this outburst of the insurgents
was merely a slight rumble of dis
tant thunder, said the Hannaites,
and then again they burst forth in
the glad refrain, "'Great Is Hannal"
But the firm of Hanna & Cox,
whosesale and retail dealers in nom
inations and patronage, is going to
be carved beautifully at the earliest
opportunity by politicians who don't
like their pawn-broker methods of
making" deals.
The deal that defeated Senator J.
Park Alexander, of this city, in se
curing the nomination for lieutenant
governor, could have been seen by a
blind man without either the sense of
touch or smell, when George B. Cox,
of Cincinnati, went over to Hanna,
and Judge John A. Caldwell, of
Hamilton county, was given the
nomination.
Mr. Alexander claims to have no
bitter regrets over the result of the
convention, but says that such a deal
was necessary to nominate Geo. K.
Nash for governor. Mr. Alexander
. expressed himself as always having
been friendly fo Nash.
In conversation with a Democrat
reporter regarding the result of the
convention, Mr. Alexander said:
"The Summit county delegation
was loyal to me, every one of them.
I got mOre votes in the convention
than any other man that went up
will do the work of
three bottles of the
ordinary Rind.
THE WEATHER:
Threatening weather tonight and
Tuesday.
Temperature At 12 m., 91 deg;; at
8pn.,90deg.
n
One bottle of
Acer's
Sarsaparil'a )
J
against the Machine. .1 had three
votes more than Daugherty,who had
211 votes, while I had 214."
"To what do you attribute the sud
den turn-around?" Mr. Alexander
was asked.
"George B. Cox,of Cincinnati,with
his delegation of 86, did it. By Mr.
Cox's turning in for Nash, Hanna
acquiesced in the demands of Cox
and his delegation by placing Cald
well on the ticket. Cox had the de
ciding vote of the convention and
therefore had power to demand any
thing he pleased.
"Mr. Willson, of the Ironton Reg
ister, Lawrence county, a gentleman
of high attainments', and capable in
every way of filling the position, got
but one-third the vote that I receiv
ed; and this ratio carried out would
have given me between 500 and 600
votes, or 100 more than would have
secured the "nomination.
"But George K. Nash could not
have been nominated with such con
ditions existing, and the deal was
made which slaughtered me in the
house of my friends.
''Out of the 88 counties of the state
having delegations at the conven
tion, I had personal friends in more
than B0 of them good, true and loyal
friends whose friendship told in the
vote polled for me, as against the
machine combine.
"I have every reason in the world
to be proud of Northeastern Ohio,"
continued the Senator, "my own
Senatorial district giving me her
solid vote, together with the solid
vote of such counties as Medina,
Wayne, Lorain, Huron, Wood and
every vote in Lucas county, includ
ing tbe city of Toledo; and practi
cally the solid vote of Cuyahoga,
Stark, Ashland, Richland and many
other counties throughout the State.
But the combination carried with it
the nomination of Judge Caldwell as
a consideration of the deal between
the Nash managers and Geo. B. Cox,
heading the Cincinnati delegation.
"The nomination of George K.
Nash could have been accomplished
in no other manner, and my being .in
the way was only an incident that
would have occurred had any other
citizen of Ohio occupied my place in
the canvass. With that deal left out
of the contest for nomination, I
would have received more than 500
votes out of the 807 in the conven
tion, as against any candidate that
was named or talked of for the posi
tion of Lieutenant Governor.
','1 have no feeling, of regret in the
matter. It had to be done to effect
the nomination of Mr. Nash, "and It
could have been accomplished
In no'other way."
Regarding Col. Charles Dick's con
nection with the deal, Mr. Alexander
said little, beyond that he and Mr.
Dick were good friends, and that no
feeling existed between them over
the results of the convention.
When asked if he would be a can
didate for re-election to the State
Senate, Mr. Alexander replied that he
would, adding that he had a right to
be,, because it had been a custom to
give Senators a, second term. He
does not anticipate much opposition
in securing the nomination.
KILLED.
Unknown Man Stepped Backward Off
a Street Car.
An unknown man, apparently 50
years of age, whose home is said to
be in Wadsworth, stepped backward
off 'a Woosterav. car at Shell a v. at
10:30 Sunday night. He struck on
his head and received injuries from
which he died at noon Monday.
Parks' ambulance conveyed him
to the hospital after the accident
where Dr. C. T.'Parksattended him.
Robert Fay was conductor on the
car and Peter Brennan inotonnan.
The unknown wore a black suit
slouch hat, white shirt, collars and
cuffs. His linen was marked H. E. L.
1,242. His shirt bore the mark of the
Black Bear store. He had false
teeth, upper and lower. No mous
tache, but chin whiskers.
It is evident by the trade mark on
his shirt that he resides in or near
Akron.
At the Star laundry on South Main
st. is a white shirt marked 1,242,
which was laundried Saturday. The
proprietors cannot account for it. It
may be that this is also his shirt.
HEAD CUT OFF.

an inmate of the sanitarium at
Cuyahoga Falls, escaped Sunday
morning. While he was walking

TRUSTS
And the Paper Tigers.
Judge Grant Tells How
Mr. Hanna's Party
Resolved Itself Into "Or
ganizedJHypocrisy." "It Denounces Trusts In the
Abstract,
'But Thrives Upon Them In the
Concrete."
About a month ago the recognized
newspaper exponent of theMcKinley
administration in this state an
nounced editorially that the forth
coming Republican convention must
put a plank in its platform in opposi
tion to the trusts. This was to be
done, not that the trusts were things
to be opposed in themselves, inas
much as they are the breath of life
to the Republican organization, but
in order to discount a like deliver
ance by the Democrats. Accordingly
all of the little Republican echoes
throughout the state, picking up the
pace thus set, began to vociferate
against the enormity of trusts, and in
county conventions and news
papers of high and low degree, from
the Cleveland Leader to the Medina
Gazette, the demand for an anti
trust plank went the rounds of the
administration circle.
The outcome of it all was this, lang
uage, embodied in the work of the
late Hanna-Cox .combination con
vention: We commend the action of
Seventy-third general assembly"
of Ohio in passing the stringent
law, now on our statute books,
prohibiting the organization of
"trusts," and we denounce such
unlawful combinations as inimi
cal to the interests of the people.
In the words of Wackford Squeers,
when he diluted the milk with water
after announcing to his patrons that
the latter had come 'Ho the right shop
for morals," "here's " 'richness!"
Think of it for one moment! Mark
Hanna, for he and the Ohio Repub
lican convention are strictly inter
changeable terms', or, rather, the
convention was Hanna plus Cox
crying out against trusts! This de
liverance, under the circumstances,
is deserving of a copyright on the
ground of novelty.
Beside it the traditional operation
of Satan rebuking sin pales into in
significance. If Satan ever laughs,
he must have done so when that de
nunciation of trusts found its way
into the Republican platform. Next
to the ministers of the Cleveland
presbytery asking contributions for
the cause of home missions within a
month after they had been actively
at work electing John Farley mayor
of their city, and next to alike appeal
on behalf of foreign missions by men
who are loud supporters of an admin
istration which is taxing their
wished-for contributors for the pur
pose of sending soldiers and muskets
to the other side of the globe to kill
natives and is just now engaged in
the pious work of subsidizing the
"Matabebes" to cut the throats
of their tribal neighbors, af
ter the manner of its British
exemplar in the Wyoming Valley
next to these things, I say, the arch
enemy of mankind had good reason
to laugh at the outcome of the Co
lumbus convention on the subject of
trusts. That convention denouncing
trusts! Mark Hanna is the trust
personified; he is the embodiment of
trusts. Mr. McKinley is the bene
ficiary of trusts. The Republican
party, as now organized and manipu
lated, is the creation of trusts.
Eliminate the trusts and that party
would go into bankruptcy. Mark
Hanna could not raise another
campaign fund and .McKinley could
not be again nominated. Trusts
could not come into existence except
undr the economic policy of which
the president is the most eminent
and efficient defender and, e converio,
without the money furnished by the
trusts he never could have been
