SITUATION IN QHIO/AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Bushnell and Hanna Are Now in Per- fect Accord. WILb GRANT CLAIMS OF BOTH But When it Comes to. Election All May Go Wrong. PARTY PROSPECTS OF DEMOCRATS Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 16, 1897. All danger of a break in the relations be- tween Governor Bushnell and Senator Han- na are past—at least until after the state cenvention, probably for good. The gov- ernor will be nominated for a recond term, and Senator Hanna will be indorsed by that convention for election to the Senate by the legislature. Neither can afford to jeopardize the interests of the party by op- posing the interests of the other, even if he should be so inclined. There is a possi- bility of a clash of interests when it comes to the selection of the executive committee to have charge of the state campaign, and @ week ago it looked as if Senator Haina might force upon the governor an executive chairman who would not be acceptable to him; but this is not now provable. Last year Governor Byshnell refused to permit Charles Kinney, who as candidate of the party for the office of secretary of state was the head of the ticket, to select the chairman of the state executive com- mittee. Kinney claimed that as a right that had always been conceded to the head of the staie ticket. There was a warm contest on the point in the state central committee, in which the sides ranged themselves along the old factional lines, the Sherman members supporting Kinney and the Foraker members supporting the governor's view of it. Kinney was out- voted, and Governor Bushnell’s close friend, Charles L. Kurtz, was made executive chairman. Remembering this incident, which was very humiliating to Mr. Kinney, it was expected by many that the tables would be turned upon Governor Bushnell this year by the other faction if they could control the state central commi that they would compel him to ept Maj. C. W. Dick. or some other equally objec- tionable Sherman republican leader for ex- ecutive chairman, instead of the man of his choice—Charles L. Kurtz. Revenge Will Be Prohibited. But while some of Mr. Kinney’s special friends might wish to have this revenge, the leaders of the Sherman faction will not permit it to be done. There is too mutch at stake to engage in evening up old scores in the impending state campaign. Indeed, a close friend of Mr. Kinney said to The Star correspondent a few days ago when the possibility of such a returning of the compliment to the governor was suggested, that Mr. Kinney’s friends would only stultify themselves by such proced- ure, for they would be taking ground ex- actly opposite to that upon which they made their fight a year ago. Charles L. Kurtz will be the state executive chair- nan. That is settled. But Charles W. Dick will be in Ohio all through the cam- paign, and will have special charge of the legislative elections in the interest of Sen- ator Hanna. He is to have headquarters in Cleveland. A. C. Caine, clerk of the state senate, has just published election statistics from the vote of last fall, tabulated by sena- torial districts and counties, which shows that ff a legislature had been voted for at that election the republicans would have secured twenty-six members of the sen- ate and the democrats ten. The republi- cans would have secured seventy-six mem- bers of the house and the democrats thirty- three. This gives a republican majority.on Joint ballot of fifty-nine—a very comfort- able position certainly for Senator Hanna. But it is not at all certain that the vote in Ohio will be so satisfactory to the repub- licans in this state this fall. Result of Last Month’s Elections. The result of the elections in the cities last month indicates a republican ‘‘slump.” This is being pushed along in Hamilton county, one of the republican strongholds of the state,, by the discovery of a series of defalcations in the city and county offices—all attributable to the operations of a republican machine, that has con- trolled the party politics there for a num- ber of years. There is every indication that the people have come to the conclu- sion that the machine must be broken, and now is the time to do it. A different cause has produced an equally unfavorable con- dition for the republicans in Cuyahoga ccunty—Cleveland. Mayor McKisson charges Senator Hanna with opposing his election-as mayor this spring, and is taking no pains to conceal his opposition to the senator. On a re- cent visit to this city the mayor gave it as his opinion that if the state convention should indorse Senator Hanna for the Sen- ate, Cuyahoga county would send a solid democratic delegation to the legislature this fall. Mayor McKisson attributes this to the opposition of the “laboring” men to the senator. ‘These two counties alone have twenty- six members in the legislature. In the present legislature they are all republicans. Should the democrats carry both counties, as they are very likely to do this fall, this change will make a difference of forty-six votes on joint ballot in the legislature. It will be seen that it will not require many gains by the democrats in other parts of the state to give them the legislature and enable them to choose the successor of Senator Hanna. Much Depends on Populists. Much will depend upon what the popu- lists do. They have in part determined upon their policy. A state populist ticket will be put in the field, and also legislative tickets. This they will do to guard their interests. They have expressed their will- ingness, however, to withdraw these in case the democrats present candidates and a state platform acceptable to the popu- Msts. All the democrats have to do, there- fore, to secure the co-operation of the pop- ulists in the campaign is to make a com- plete surrender to populism. The outlook now is that the democratic state convention will indorse the full Chicago platform. That will, of course, suit the populists. The candidate for governor will, no doubt, be a democrat who supported the platform and candidates. of last year without re- serve. The rock upon which fusion will split will be, however, the division of the offices between the two parties. Already the populists are demanding a large share of the nominations for the legislature, un- der the proposed fusion agreement. Upon this the two parties may not agree and fusion fall. If fusion is a success it seems to be quite within the range of probability that the democrats may elect the governor and carry the legislature this fall. The chance seems so alluring, to the democrats at Teast, that no less than a dozen candidates for the democratic nomination for governor are announced. Democratic Possibilities. The following is a complete list up to date: Allen W. Thurman, E. B. Finley, Allen V. Smalley, John W. Winn, James W. Newman, Gustav Tafel, John C. Wel- day, Col. James Kilbourne, Paul J. Sorg, Thomas G. Fitzsimmons, 8. N. Owen and John J. Lentz. ‘The general opinion seems to be that Jolin J. Lentz, the aggressive young con- gressman from this district, is the strong- est candidate for the nomination, and will secure the place at the head of the ticket. The delegation from this district in the state convention will be for Thurman, however. Lentz has agreed not to make a fight for the delegation in return for an agreement from Thurman that in case he cannot be nominated the support of the delegation shall be thrown to Lentz. Thur- man is not popular in the party, and the first ballots will retire him from the race. The attitude of the gold democrats in the campaign will, of course, be determined largely by the tone of the platform. If the resolutions adopted censure them for re- +. __ Rev.

Some weeks ago, it will be remembered, the city republican committee got its “back up” because Chairman Crupper did not at- tend the meetings, and passed a resolution to the effect that unless he attended and presided over the next meeting he would be “bounced.” Saturday night there was @ meeting of the committee, but when the hour came for calling it together, Chair- man Crupper had not arrived. This caused the committee to act, and, after some lit- tle discussion, the following resolutions were passed. Whereas J. 8. Crupper, city chairman, has, by his past acts, proven himself per- sopa nen grata to the members of this committee, said acts consisting of the fol- lowing eccentric conduct on his part, to wit: GQ) His meeting the committee on the night of February 16, at the Braddock House, Pleading illness and asking for an ad- journment for one week.

After exhaust- ing the skill of the best physicians and inbaling Various mixtores, paying out large sums for doc- tors’ fees and medicines, he finds himself either as bad off as at first or a great deal worse. ‘The cause of this is casily explained. The disease is in the blood, and only a real blood rem- edy can possibly have any effect upon it. ‘The doctors being unable, with their stereotyped reme- dies of potash and mercury, to cure diseases of the blood, direct their efforts toward treating the symptoms of the disease, and ignoring its cause. The inbaling of various sprays, and use of washes, ete., is but a superficial and temporary treatment and cannot possibly effect a cure. MRS. JOSEPHINE POLHILL. Mrs. Josephine Polhill of Due West, 8. C., was for years a sufferer from this distressing complaint, and has learned by experience its tortures. She says: “For years I was the victim of the worst case of catarrh that I ever beard of. I was treated by several doctors, and took numerous medicines claim- ing to cure the discase, but instead of being benc- fited my condition grew worse steadily. “The trouble became so deep-seated that I was entirely deaf in one ear. It is difficult to describe my condition, but some idea of the ravages of the disease can be obtained when I state that all the inside of my nose, including part of the bone, sloughed of. It can be readily understood now offensive all this was, and how unbearable my con- dition became. When the disease bad gone this far the physician gave me up as incurable, and told me I would never be any better. “Reading of many similar cases being cured by 8. 8. S. I determined to try It as a last resort. I soon discovered that all my former treatment had been wrong, as the dise:tse was in the blood, and only a blood remedy cou cure it. I began to improve at once, and grew better as I) con- tinued to take S. S. S. It seemed to get at the seat of the disease, and after a few weeks’ treat- ment I was entirely cured, and for more than seven years have had no sign of the disease.” Catarrh is one of the deep-seated blood diseases, and only a thorough blood remedy will have any effect upon it.
