The Ohio Congressman Reviews the Re- cent Campaign and Election. HIS ANSWER TO THE STATEMENT THAT HE AND OTHER REPUBLICAN LEADERS HAD ASSISTED IN THE DEFEAT OF HIS PARTY—HE DOES NOT THINK THE DEFEAT MUCH OF A DISASTER. A Srar reporter called on Representative Charles H. Grosvenor of Ohio at his rooms at 1210 G street, which he will occupy during the coming session with his wife and daughters. He was busily occupied in the preparation of some papers for the departments, but re- sponded promptly to questions concerning the election in Ohio. The Sran reporter asked him if he had seen the statement in dispatches from Columbus to the effect that he and other Obio republican Congressmen had aided in the defeat of Fovaker, He said he had seen the charges and had been greatly surprised to read them. “The story as telegraphed from Columbus, he said, “was necessarily infamously false, in gross and in detail. Of the 16 republican Ohio Congressmen each and every one of them, 80 far as I know, without sparing themselves for any rest or recreation, devoted their whole time for weeks prior to the election to the sup- port of Gov. Foraker and the whole ticket, and no man knows it better than Foraker. Speak- ing for myself, I spent six full weeks in con- stant, unremitting labor for the ticket. I spoke in four counties of my district, going from township to township in mud and rain, by rail- road and by carriage. I paid nearly all my own expenses, and contributed largely to the cam- paign fund, more largely than I ever did be- fore in any state election. I bad con- stuntly in my employment a capable Stenographer, and, during the latter days of the campaign, two stenographers, I wrote fifteen hundred personal letters to as many personal friends and active republicans in my istrict, pointing out to them the danger which I thought menaced the republican ticket, and appealing to them not to permit my district to run behind. I furnished at my own expense a large quantity of documents and distributed them trom my own office as wisely and as judi- ciously as L could. I counseled th the local commitices and aided them in every possible way to muke asuccessful campaign. There is nota man living who will testify that I ever suggested opposition to Foraker, or that I ever failed to urge him to active and energetic work. My appointments were made largely by the state executive committee, and I responded as fully as L was able. [went outside of my dis- trict at their invitation to Cleremont, Hamil- ton, Vinton, Clinton, Greene and other coun- ues, Ispoke six times from the same stand and at the same time with Gov, Foraker, I left nothing undone that my knowledge of politics suggested would be useful and beneficial to the party. I do not think that I did more or worked harder than @ my colleagues of the House—sure continuous labor than did Judge ‘Thompson, As a result I point to the fact that my con- &ressional district gave Gov. Foraker about 1,400 majority against a little over 1,800 two years ago, or a falling off of some 400 in the district. Goy. Foraker was elected two years axu by about 23,000; he is defeated this year by about 11,000, or a change of over 1,700 to the congressional district. Lut to come to Gov, Foraker personally. He ran but 45 behind his ticket in Athens county, and I point with some satisfaction to the fact that he ran one ahead of his ticket in the precinct in which [ live— the north precinct of Athens township. IN MR. GROSVENOR'S DISTUICT. “Last year I received 490 majority in Mor- gan county and this year Gov, Foraker re-~ cvived 465 upon @ reduced vote. Last year Gen. Harrison was defeated 2,303 in the county of Monroe. I was atenigty 250 and this year Gov. Foraker was beaten 2,244, Last year Gen, Harrison received about 280 majority in Wash- ington county. This year Gov, Foraker runs only atritle behind his ticket—perhaps 100— in the city of Marietta, and he carries the county by 82. Gov. Foraker is behind his ticket in Meigs county less than 70. 1 have not the exact figures. These counties are in my district. This will show, and I claim that my district ran Foraker closer up to his ticket than any other congressional district in the state from which I have heard, and, as you see, had the falling off been no greater in other districts, or no greater on the average than mine, Foraker would have been elected by 12,- 500 votes. I offer these figures to put an cter- nal brand of misrepresentation and slander upon the miserable story telegraphed from Columbus. WHAT LEADING REPUBLICANS DID, “I want to say another thing,” said Mr. Gros- venor, “So far as my observation went all the leading men of the republican party in the southern part of the state were actively and energetically supporting Foraker. What their private feclings were is a question 1 cannot answer, nor is it any one’s business, but that they were heartily and enthasiastically at work no man willdeny. All the republican news- papers were devoting whole columns weekly to hissupport. Every other consideration was lost sight of. The legisiative ticket was aban- doned for ten days before the election upon the premature assumption that it was safely out of the woods, and J appeal to the honest men of Ohio iflam not truthful when I say that never in the history of Ohio politics did the leading, active men of the republi- can party” work 60 hard and so faith- fully for any other man, living or dead, Gov, Foraker ran behind in a great majority of the precincts of the state, I have not seen the, returis in full, but inasmuch as the state ticket is elected by majorities ranging from forty-odd up to four or five thonsund, it is sate to say that he is not less than fourteen to tifteen thou- sand behind the average of the state ticket, Its coming was not heralded and its origin iy not known today, The wit of man could not have prevented it. A combination of circumstances brought itabout. Itisidle for me to attempt to analyze those circumstances, The heaviest losses were in Cincinuati, the home of the gov- ernor, in Columbus, his temporary residence, and in Dayton, 4 do and other cities, In Judge Thompson's district there were not losses to the governor outside of Portsmouth, where the election law was deemed unnecessary and op- pressive by some, us 1 am told by Judge Thomp- sou himself, and in the county of Jackson, and especially in the township of Milton, the home of the governor's father-in-law. Jackson county sustained a loss of nearly 600, more than the loss of my district as compared with two years ago, Highland county, the birth- place of the governor, also went heavily back, electing substantially the whole democratic ticket. These are facts, but doubtless most of them can be —, accounted for, but when it 1g attempted to blacken the honor of other men it ia not to be expected that we will re- main silent and not point out to the public these facts. I have not the exact figures of the wards in Cincinnati, but my opinion is that it will be discovered when an analysis is possible that the hills around the city upon which dwell the staid, sober, business men, and who are largely republican, contributed a very large relative per cent to the enormous disaster in Hamilton county. THE SUNDAY CLOSING. “One word about the Sunday closing matter, I think the letter which Goy. Foraker wrote to Mosby and which he (Mosby) indiscreetly pub- lished cost the governor a good many votes in Hamilton county and a few elsewhere, but it was a manly, brave utterance, and the republi- can editors of the state published it in black type and Siaplegen itin the closing issues of ir papers an special attention was called to it from one end of the state to the other by the republicans, and, in my judgment, it rallied to his support many thousands of voters who oth- erwise would have voted against him. It was a letter which ought to have made him votes in the state at lurge and I feel confident that it did. As to the farsa. pinged in Hamilton county they are beyond my comprehension. I never did know much about Hamilton county politics and I think it ia too late for me to be- gin now to learn with any hope of being a pro- ficient pupil. the state, and in 1877 we had Bishop and a democratic legislature. We are used to those things in Ohio. Garfield carried the state by an overwhelming majority in 18390, and in 1881-2 we carried it each time, and in 1883 came Hoadly and a democratic legislature. This time we have elected all our state ticketexcept governor, All the judges of the supreme court of Ohio are republicans. The secretary of state isarepublican. The auditor is arepublican. The treasurer is a republican. So is the attorney general, the clerk of the supreme court, the superintendent of schools and the whole board of public works. There is not an elected demo- crat in the state house and will not be during 1890 except Gov. Campbell. It does not strike me that we are in such a terrible fix. It is true we have lost the legislature. We lost it be- cause we abandoned it in our earnest straggle to save Foraker. Everybody in Ohio who knows anything about it knows that that state- ment is correct, We came within two hundred votes of electing a senator in Stark-Carroll dis- trict. That alone would have tied the senate, We came within less than one thousand votes of carrying a majority of the house of represen- tatives, It is a smaller disaster, less in present consequences than those to which I have just referred. It is true we lost a United States Senator. It is true we are exposed to a redis tricting scheme pecullar to the democracy. ‘These are really party misfortunes, WHAT MAY HAPPEN NEXT YEAR, “You ask me what of the future. History will simply repeat itself. Next year we shall renominate Dan Ryan, one of the;most popular men, who has held the office of secretary of state for a quarter of a century. Wo shall renominate strong men on the ticket with him, The supreme judge will simply be renominated and the fight will be in the congréssional dis- tricta, The state ticket will be triumphantly elected, and we shall elect just so many mem- bers of Congress as our democratic friends will permit anda few more than they will intend, and we shall try to submit with the same sort of good nature they manifested when we made the present apportionment in that state, and then we will be prepared for 1891. If the democrats legislate out of Congress aay one of a halt dozen members by a redistricting scheme, we will make him our candidate for [abe and sweep Mr. Campbell and all his jopes of the future out of existence at one swoop, and if one of the members thus turned out should happen to be McKinley, we will put him in the governor's chair by ‘a majority of 50,000 and end the dream of “Campbell and Hill” or “Hill and Campbell.” THE THIRD TERM QUESTION, “As to the third term question, I answer that in Ohio the third term question in the ab- stract has not now and never had any force; in the concrete it did have some effect upon Gov. Foraker. It depends altogether upon the peculiarities of administration of an executive officer whether the matter of third term be- comes a factor or otherwise. The patronage of the governor of Ohio had been more than doubled during Governor Foraker’s adminis- tration. Eighty-one election board officers with salaries, some valuable, a large number of assistant mine inspectors, building inspec- tors, &c., with a canal commission witi its clerks, &c.. all together away over one hundred offices, had been created and filled, and without discussing the necessity or propriety of the creation of these oftices—and my opinion would be generally in favor of the legislation by which they were created—they added greatly to the governor's patronage, and sig- niticantly suggested the question of a third term,” THE SPEAK SHIP CONTEST. Politicians Who Think McKinley is Risking Too Much—The Chances. Some of those who would like to see Mr. McKinley of Ohio the next republican candi- date for President are given some anxicty by his running for the speake: of the House. If he is clecteg it will make very little differ- ence in his elfances for the presidency, while his defeat would be a very serious thing. A dofeat in the contest for the speakership, they fear, would “put the presidency out of his reach, and they consider it a great risk for him to take for very small game, They regard it much as a sportsman would for one to shoot at a chance rabbit while lying for deer. There is too big a risk of frightening off the big game. The case of Gov, Foraker is cited. A few months ago Foraker was regarded asa strong vossibility for the presidency, He allowed himself, while full of honors, to be led into a struggle for more of the same sort, and by his daring he risked everything—and lost. Now he is not talked of for the presidency. This may be an example for Mr. McKinley. A de- «ted caudidate for Speaker would not stand us well before a convention as would the little Napoleon of the tariff fight, WHAT I8 CLAIMED FoR MB, M'KINLEY, It is thought that he must feel very sure of success to take such chances for so little. His friends claim for him fifty votes pledged, and say that he will get the most of Reed’s strength if that gentleman is not nominated on the first or second ballot, They are making a very shrewd campaign, and it may be that they have carefully calculated the chances of defeat and its results, While the other candidates are fighting each other McKinicy is carefully pro voking no antagonism, ‘The other candidates are fighting Reed as a common enemy, and McKinley is quictly awaiting the result. ‘If the others knock Reed out the Ohioan’s friends tuink he will profit by it, so they are not going to muke any figut on the Maine man them- selves. McKinley wants to be in a position to win without making pledges or encmics, or to take defeat as gracefully as possible. He is calculating on nothing being settied at once, aud is shrewdly holding himself so as not to be embarrassed by having everything pledged when the critical moment comes, If the con- test is to be settled in a moment it is easy to see that none but Reed can be successful. If there is to be a tolerably long tight the victory is apt to goto the man who has the most ami- munition at the last charge. Mr, McKinley Seems to have calculated all this very shrewdly. LOOKING UP RECORLS, Three things that are going to be used against Reed are his want of skill asa presiding officer, his antagonism to river and harbor bills and his attitude on the silver question. The several candidetes are busily engay in looking u; each other's records, all of which will be venti- lated in the campaign, and every httle personal characteristic will be made the most of as bear- ing on the candidate's qualifications for the lace. Mr. Reed's want of suavity is being en- arged upon as an argument against him, IT WILL NOT BE REPEALED. That is What Representative Herbert Thinks of the Civil service Law. About forty members of Congress are some- where about the city. Representative Herbert of Alabama arrived yesterday. A Sran re- porter asked him this morning if he thought Congress would pass a federal election law this winter. “I do not think there is any liklihood of it,” he replied, ‘It is too much centratization, I think republicans enough will oppose it to de- feat such a measure, aud Lam quite sure that no democrat will vote for it.” age about the civil service law?” he was asked, “I have no idea that the law will nope agen was his prompt reply. “I have no that they can repealit” A New Torpedo to be Tested.

Montana’s Double Court—Prohibition Prospects in Jowa—That Effigy. Borre, Moyt., Noy. 15.—When Judge Me- Hatton convened district court yesterday morn- ing Sheriff Sullivan and a staff of four depu- ties were still in possession of the court room, having guarded it all night lest ex-Sheriff Boyd and the republican officers should forcibly take pan during the night. Only routme usiness was transacted by the court. While McHatton and Sheriff Sullivan were holding court in the district court room J. L. Hamilton, republican candidate for district indge, who was given a certificate for election y the republican state board of canvassers, organized court in another room, with ex- Sheriff Boyd and his deputies as officers, Thus two district courts for the same judicial district Were in session at one time yesterday within a few feet of each other, # Hamilton was hampered, however, as District Court Clerk Clark, who was clected upon the democratic ticket, will obey the orders of Me- Hatton's court and refuses to attend upon or furnish court records to Hamilton. Thus while the democratic court has no prisoners it las a fall staff of duly qualified officers, including a sheriff, clerk, and prosecuting attorney, while the republican court has the prisoners but has no clerk, prosecution, or court records. The situation is becoming more complicated hourly, The greatest excitement prevails, and, though the proceedings yesterday ssod off quietly, yet a riot is liable to be precipitated at any moment, Judge McHatton will issne orders for Boyd to deliver the keys of the county jail to Sherif Sullivan today, “If Goya refuses to obey Mc- Hattou’s mandate he will be punished for con- tempt. ToWA. Lrmans, Iowa, Nov. 15.—George L. Dobson of Buens Vista county, the leading candidate for the republican nomination for speaker of the house, was in the city yesterday and was asked what he thought would be done with prohibition. He said: “I do not think there is any prospect for repeal. The republicans have a working majority in the senate strong enough, I am sure, to avert the disaster. Pro- hibition is the settled policy of the state and of the republican party. The defeat of our can- didate for governor this fall cannot be charged wholiy to prohibition. Other causes entered largely into it, and I do not believe yet that the people of the state are ready to welcome the saloon back to Iowa.” NO EFFIGY.
