‘ Ohio Convention.
THlmanite “Reformers” Have a Great
Time in Their State Convention--The
General Political Situation Through
out the Country—Nomifiationa Re
ported for Congress in Various Dis
tricts.
Columbus? 0., Aug. 16 There are prob
ably 2,500 people, including delegates and
visitors,at the pbpu’ist state convention in
Nelson’s grove, near the city, to-day. The
representation is sectional rather than
general, however, and a number of con
gressional districts are not represented at
all. Hugh Cavanaugh of Cincinnati pre
sides, and C. R. Martin of Tiffin who was
chosen secretary ofUbd Mcßride state
labor convention, was made temporary
secretary, indicating that a fusion will
be made. . .
J. S. Coxey arrived this morning and is
the central iigure in the convention. If
ho were not a candidate for copgross, lie
would no doubt be chosen to' lead the
state ticket. The work bf the morning
session was preliminary for the most
part.
This afternoon the committee on reso
lutions, acting, under iiifttruetfons from
the convention, with resolutions com
mittee of the Mcßride state labor con
vention, reported the platform adopted
by the latter convention yesterday, and
supplemented planks indorsing the plat
form of the Cmaha convention, favoring
liberal pensions to honorably discharged
union soldiers, indorsing the Coxey good
roads proposition and declaring against
the issuing of interest-bearing bonds.
This was adopted by the convention.,
Tba labor convention delegates were in-.
viffd to sit in the convention, and will do
so to-morrow, when this platform will be
again adopted apd a state ticket be nom
nominated. John Seitz of Tiffin wes
tpude. permanent chairman and C. 11.
Martin of Findlav secretary. ‘
.1. S. Coxey, in a speech, denounced
both the old* parties for their failure to
keep their promises to the people, and
their subservience to trusts and corpora
tions, The parade this evening ’was a
failure, there being not more than a
thousand people in line.
GABY FOB GOVERNOR.
dßouth Carolina “Reformers” Nomi
nate a State Ticket. <
Columbia, S. C., Aug. 16. - Tho Tillman
reform convention to-day nominated
Judge Gary Evans for governor, and Dr.
Timmerman for lieutenant governor.
This is equivalent to Election, as the
conservative democrats are having noth
ing to do with tne selection. The rest of
the ticket will be nominated at a primary
to be held Sept, 28. Dr Dope, another re
former, charges that Evans was nomi
. Dated by a ring, and* will not abide the re
sult of the convention, but go before the
people in the primary. The convention
adopted the Ocala platform as its princi
ples.
Mr. Evans is only 81 years of age, is the
author of the dispensary law and a poli
tician of the Tollman school.
TILLMAN’S MASTER MIND.
Columbia, S. C., Aug;. 16. Up until a
".very late hour last night the sentiment
,in favor of nominating a full state ticket
• to-day was overwhelming. All of the
candidates, with one or two exceptions,
signed a petition, which was to have been
submitted to the convention asking that
a full ticket bo put in the field, and among
the delegates in the lobbies of the hotels
the expression of opinion in favor of so
doing was practically u-nanimbus. Gov.
A, TMllhian and John Gary Evans, candidate
- govpaaor, jin, the scene
r aha Tifofd •• that suen 'must '* not
• •be done, and such was not firno
to-day. The master mind of Tillman was
the main feature of the convention,
•yvhich he used toprevent thbsidetracked
■ candidates for the lower state offices
<from becoming disgruntled and to insure
their co-operation and active interest in
the primaries on September -28 and the
■ succeeding state eon• ention.
• ■ When the convention mot this morning,
.■ every county in the state was fully re
presented, and there were 320 delegates
•on the floor of the hopse. The first Busi
ness transacted was tho adoption of a
platform similar toAbe Ocala platform and
. thea indorsement of silver coinage at a
-ratio of 16 to I. This went through by an
overwhelming vote. The question then
■of norniniitin: a full state ticket came tip,
. and while a few of the more independent
members urged that such bo done under
• - the above mentioned influence, the con ven
tion decided to nominate only a candidate
•-tor governor and one for lieuttfnmt
governor.
John Gary Evans, W. If. Ellerbe and
J. E., Tindal were placed in nomination.
« John Gary Evans received 260 votes from
twenty seven counties, and Elerbo 44
votes from six counties, and Tindal 14
votes from two counties. Dr. W. H.
Timmerman of Edgefield was unani
mously nominated as the reform candi
date ior lieutenant governor. /
After hearing speeches from Evans,
,Timmerman,- Tillman and Ellerbe, the
.convention adjourned sine die. The re
- fusal to nominate a full ticket probably
prevents considerable dissatfectibn in
the reform ranks, which wouldfi have
been caused by the defeated candidates
and their friends becoming apathetic and
.probably dangerous to Evans, and possi
bly to. Tillman himself in his race for the
United States Semite. This husalßbeen
prevented, and all the candidates for the
lower state offices will be active
in the primaries for tho election of dele
gates to the slate convention which is io
nominate the demo ratio candidate for
> governor. Dr. Sampson Pope, another
candidate for governor, who took part in
the campaign, announces that he will not
.abide bv the action of the convention,
claiming that at least 40,(XK) reformers
were not represented in the convention.
He will appeal to tho general primaries
on Sept. 28.
TEXAS’ NEXT GOVERNOR.
Dallas Convention Nominates Culber-
. son Unanimously
Dallas, Tex., Aug., 16,—After I o’clock
this morning the majority of the commit
tee on platform brought-in its report Its
fourth section contained the Chicago plat
forms plank upon gold and silver, word
for word. Six or seven eloquent speeches
. followed In defense of each candidate and
.kt midnight a roil of the counties was
called and the majority report was
adopted. When this was announced the
wildest scene since the confusion, of
tongues at the tower of Babel followed.
... Upon assembling this morning the first
business announced was the reading at a
letter from Hou. John H. Reagan, which
. is as follows:
To c;en. W. K. Hamby. President of the
State lemocratic Convention of Texas; sir
1 have made my canvass, amonx other things.
In favor of a clear, distinct declaration of the
use at both gold and stiver as the standard
money of the country, and the coinage of i oth
metals, without discriminating .against either,
. or charge for mintage, at the ratio of 16 to 1.
. The vole of this <oti ven lion discloses the
fa< t that it does not approve of such an
explicit declaration, and 1 bow to its author
Ity. 1 ut. inasiu.ieh as mv view of the neoes
si ty of such explicit declaration on this ques
tion does not accord with the judgment and
,general desire of the convention, and as I be
Jie.e the maintenance at my own-convictions,
clearly stated to oe of more importance than
♦he acquisition at ottcial position, Twith
draw my name as a caudioate for the oOive of
governor from tho consideration of the con
vention.
1 do this, because whomsoever vou nomi
nate should bo in full accord with the an-
■
nouned views of the convention. Other issues
of vital importance to the continued growth
and prosperity of our great state, anti of im.
menu local concern will engage the attention
of the Democratic party in this campaign,
and as I fully concur in the declaration of the
convention upon these issues, I pledge my
hearty support to the ticket that may be
nominated by the convention.
When the reading of the letter was
finished, Judge Reagan was called for
and in a f < w moments stepped on the
rostrum, and addressing the convention,
was wildly cheered. Judge Reagan’s
speech was one that would indicate that
the “grand bld man” is not going to sulk
in his tent, but will take up the demo
cratic banner and help carry it to victory.
Judge Reagan’s speech was abler con
ciliatory and by all means patriotic, and
was vociferously applauded.
At the conclusion of Judge Reagan’s re
marks the'chairman announced that the
nomination of candidates for governor was
in order.
The Hon. John. D. McCall, Hon. Charles
A. Culberson and Hon’S. W. T. Lanham
were placed in nomination. Before the
roll call had been completed the other
hatties were withdrawn and Culberson’s
nomination was made unanimous. Mr.
.Culbersqn was introduced and in a twen
ty minut® speech be heartily thanked the
convention for the nomination. At the
conclusion of his remarks the convention
adjourned till to-morrow at 2:30 o’clock.
The following ticket was nominated:
Governor Charles A. Culberson of
Dallas, Lieutenant Governor—George T.
Jester of Corsicana. Attorney General-
William Crane of Cleburne.
The convention is still in session at mid
night, balloting for secretary of state..

NOT TO BE ABANDONED.
Experiment of Closing Indian Mints
Will Be Well Tried.
London, Aug. 16.—1 n the House of Com
mons to-day Henry Fowler, secretary for
India, said that the Indian government
had no intention of reopening the mints
to the free coinage of silver. The experi
ment of closing the mints would be well
tried before there would be any thought
of abandoning it. So far there* has been
j no reason for alarm.
; The great difficulty was the steady
I depreciation of silver, and sooner or
later t his would force them to go over to
the gold standard. Disoatches received
from Calcutta to-day say that the govern
ment is likely to convert gradually the
whole 4 per cent, rupee debt into 3W per
cent. This x*eport has caused some alarm
in view of the effect which such a con
version would have on exchanges.

THE WEEKLY NEWS (TWO-TIMES-A-WEEK): MONDAY, AUGUST 20, 1894.
THE VIGILANT VANQUISHED
The Crack American Centerboarder
Jockeyed Out of the Race.
Slippery Conduct of the Briton Who
Commanded th a Britannia—A Put-
Up Job to Give the Raes to the Sata
nita—The Britannia’s Captain Sticks
to the Vigilant Like a Leech Through
out the Entire Run.
Ryde. Isle of Wight, Aug. 16.—What- i
ever chance the- Vigilant may have
had in the race to-day for
the Rydetown cup, valued at SSOO, j
she was forced to sacrifice it in jockeying'
with the Britannia, which clung to her .
throughout the contest, occasionally forc
ing her into shallows, where, .in wind
ward work, she found it impossible to
use the full depth of her board, and thus
made leeway, which was beneficial to the
Britannia. The object of the skipper on
the prince's cutter seemed to help the
Satanita win the race. That, Capt. Hank ■
Haff declared, in an interview after the
event, was undoubtedly Capt, Carter’s
scheme. The yankee skipper says that
after crossing the line, the Britannia ran
up off his port, or weather quarter and
blanketed him. Then the wily Briton
made an effort to cross the white sloop’s
bows and Capt. Haff luffed up to prevent
this. The Jockeying always forced oil the
yankee skipper continued until the two
boats were two miles off the course. This
enabled the Satanita to win, which she
did by a handsome margin. She van
quished the Britannia by 6 minutes and
23 seconds and the Vigilant by 7 minutes
and 50 seconds. On corrected time the
Vigilant was beaten by the Satanita 8
minutes and 2 seconds and by the Britan
nia 3 minutes and 81 seconds.
The course was nearly all inside. The
start was ftiade from an imaginary line
off Ryde, eastward to the Nab lightsnip,
thence jto a mark boat off Spit tort,
thence to mark boat off east Cowes, and.
to Ryde, twice around, a distance of fifty
nautical miles, ibere was a little north
west wind and a lowering sky, portend
ing squally weather, when the trio of
giants- came out to the starting point
ready,for battle. No skipper apparently
expected the breeze to increase much, as
the yachts carried light weather canvas,
including big jib topsails and club top
sails. The wind was .on the port quarter
as the yachts came for the line. The
Satanita held the weather berth and the
Vigilant was to leeward. They crossed
tho line thus: Satanita 10:00:04, Britan
nia 10:00:07. Vigilant 10:00:09.
The Vigilant drew away from the
Britannia immediately after crossing, and
the prince’s' cutter headed eastward and
passed under her stern to take her wind.
The Vigilant luffed up, and the two
yachts started for the south sea with the
wind almost abeam, when, if they had
kept their course, they would have had a
spinnaker breeze. The Satanita took ad
vantage of the private duel between the
yankee sloop and the Britannia, broke
out her enormous sidesail and practically
won the race on the first six-mile run.
She was 4 minutes and 5 seconds ahead
of the Britannia when she jibed around
the Nab lightship. The Vigilant and
Britannia bad finally given up their luff
ing tactics, and with spinnakers set had
gone down to the Nab only 80 seconds
apart. The Vigilant permitted the
Britannia to pass her to windward rather
than keep up the profitless jockeying. In
the beat of about five miles to the Fort
Spit, the wind freshened, and tjie Vigilant
crawled up. .
Again she wits, intercepted by the Bri
tannia ; both were on the, port tack and
they indulged in luffing, while the Satani
ta, also on the port tack, was bounding’in
for the Spit mark boat.
• The Vigilant and Britannia held the
port tack only a little while. Then they
camo about and the Britannia compelled
tjie sloop, in self-defense, to enter shoal
water.
The Britannia went about first. The
Vigilant held on longer. The Satanita
was 4 minutes and 15 seconds ahead of the
Vigilant at the Spty. The yankee sloop
bad gained 20 seconds on the Satanita and
33 seconds on the Britannia in the wind
ward work. It was a reach, close hauled
with the wind on the starboard bow, for
East Cowes. The Vigilant ran through
the Britannia's lee, and was 4(1 sec
onds ahead of her at the mark
boat, The. Satanita had increased
her lead to 6 minutes' and 9 seconds. As
the racers turned the mark boat and ran
down the wind for the Nab, on the second
round, a misty rain almost shut them off
from the vision of folks ashore. All broke
out spinnakers and passed Ryde, on the
way to the Nab, with the Satanita lead
ing the Vigilant by 5 minutes and 85 sec
onds. Since leaving Cowes the Vigilant
gained 34 seconds, which Indicates what
she,might have done in the first round
before the wind-if she bad not been both
ered by the Britannia.
The Britannia was IB seconds astern of
the white sloop at Ryde. Off No Man,
within about four miles of Nab, the Bri
tannia again r|in under the yanlcee’s stern
and blanketed her. Capt. Haff was evi
dently losing interest in the British sys
tem of racing. The Britannia got the
better of him by jockeying, and led him
by 1 minute and 12 seconds at the Nao.
Then the Satanita was 8 minutes and 52
seconds ahead of the Britannia. Spin
nakers and jib topsails were doused, and
the trio stood for the Spit Fort again.
They made short legs to starboard and
long ones to port. The Satanita led by 7
minutes at the Spit, and the Britannia
was 2 minutes and 10 seconds ahead of
the Vigilant.
As the tussler approached Cowes close
hauled, a heavy rain squall lashed the
sea and the yachts heeled heavily toport.
The Vigilant demonstrated that she was
made for wrestling with weather by re
ducing the lead of the Britannia to 1
minute ahd 20 seconds, or 50 seconds
since leaving the Spit.
She made the reach in a strong, squally
wind 2 minutes and 25. seconds faster than .
the Satanita.
In the rup home from Cowes the Vigi- I
lant lost 7 seconds to the Britannia and *55
seconds to the.Satanita.
Time at the finish: Satanita, 3:36:00;
Britannia, 3:42:23; Vigilant, 3:43-.50.'i
The average strength of the wind dur
ing the race was less than ten knots.
Hank Haff ssys the victory of the
Satanita was a "put up job.” It is some
what doubtful, on this account, whether
the Vigilant will enter the race to-mor
row for the Royal Victoria race around
the Isle of Wight for the commodore's j
cup, valued at MOO, to go to the winner,
and a prize of S2OO for the second yacht.
The Satanita. Britannia. Vigilant,
Carina. Corsica and Namah, have been
entered in this race. The Vigilant and
Britannia will sail on Saturday 15 miles
outside the Needles and back on the re
verse, for the Wolverton cup.
A BOY’S FATAL FALL.
He Goes to Sleep in a Factory and
Falla Sixty Feet.
Augusta. Ga., Aug! 16. Charles
Keener, the 13-year-old son of John
Keener, a weaver in the Sibley mills,
went to sleep in a fourth story window of
the Sibley factory and fell out, sixty feet
to the ground below.
He struck on an ice chest in falling,
which split his side open, and he landed
on an iron sand-pit cover. His left leg
and pelvis were broken and right leg
horribly lacerated. He is still alive, but
it is feared he will die.
A POPULISTIC ROW. »'
Affairs in the Seventh District Far
From Satisfactory to Them.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 16.—A1l is not well
in the Seventh congressional district, so
far as populistic harfnony is concerned.
The nomination of W. H. Felton, that
many kinds of politfc|aii,,' i‘or congress,
has raised a regular cyclo'ne of unpleas
antness. The tine Italian Land of Tom
Watson, it seems, shuffled the cards that
brought out the venerable old doctor, and
the populists of the district are beginning
to call him such ugly names as “Dicta
tor.” "Czar,” etc.
Information obtained from the very
best of authority is to the effect that a
majority of the convention which nomi
nated Dr. Felton was for Mr. McGarity
of Paulding. But it is understood that
Mr. McGarity received a very emphatic
letter from the business manager of Tom
Watson’s telling him that he must
step down and give place to Dr. Felton or
Seab Wright. The inference is that Mr.
McGarity obeyed, as ha was not nomi
nated.
There is no end of dissatisfaction over
the affair, and if a general breach does
not ensue, the relations bbthveen the
leader of the populists anfi the Seventh
district contingent will be strained, to say
the least of it. Mr. MoGarity’s friends
are loyal to Mr. Watson, but they unhesi
tatingly claim that he transcended the
bounds of his authority in allowing Lis
paper to meddle with the affairs of the
Seventh district to the extent of foisting
a candidate on the district who was a
persona non grata.
Dr. Felton, in the meantime, is coming
in for nasmal 1 share of criticism, which
would be ludicrous if the situation were
not so serious. That inexplicable quan
tity known as the doctor’s political re
cord with its various hues and frolicsome
eccentricities, has already drawn the
calcium light of investigation, and the
funny part of it is that the populists are
thumbing the screws. The great, trouble
is that the doctor was too : intense a dem
ocrat vi-hile he was a democrat, while his
anti-populistic tendencies at .the same
time approached a high degree.
Mr. McGarity’s friends don’t believe
that the jewel of consistency, can lurk
around the populist hustings when a fool
notion prompts the democrats so call on
the doctor to explain. They.arenot hope
ful enough to believe that the hew con
vert is a modern Saul of Tarsus, who has
been stricken down in the. midst of his
persecution by the glare \of con
viction and forced to be a Christian
and a leader of Christians... They Jiave
got too much respect for his democracy
for that, and they are hurt, that one of
the faithful should have been turned
down for such as he.
From all appearances the Seventh will
not poll a very enthusiastic populist vote
this year by reason of these complications.

GONE TO MEET THE GRANGE.
The Alliance’s Main Assets a Large
Stock of Experience.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 16.—The farmer's
alliance, which has been in session at
Dublin, adjourned to-day. It will proba
bly never hold another meeting, as it has
practically gone to pieces, or, worse still,
into the third party. The state exchange
was ordered closed out,and ttae organ of the
order, “Living Issues.” publishediin this
city, will also close down it is understood.
Both the exchange and the paper bave
been mondy-losing features, arid after bal
ancing up the books the alliance decided
to rid itself of the expense. These were
the only tangible assets of the organiza
tion except a large stock of experience,
and the general impression is that it has
gone the way of the grange.

hours this forenoon at "Wadley. There
were about 1,500 present, the great ma

and Water, However, It Is Be
lieved, Will Reinvigorate Him—His
Return Certain in a Short Space of
Time.
Washington, Aug. 16.—President Cleve
land left the city early this morning,
j Private Secretary Thurber makes public
j the following statement in regard to the
■ President’s departure:
“The President left this morning for a
tew days absence under the advice of his
physician, in hopes of shaking off an
; attack of malaria, from , which he has
i been suffering for several*days. Yester
‘ day the . attack culminated in fever,
■but which, was. under control this
morning. Dr. O’Reilly, .his physician,
expressed no doubt that a few days of
will recuperate the President suf
ficiently to renew his official duties and
he will return to Washington by the
middle of next week. He has gone to
Gray Gables, and is accompanied by Dr.
O’Reilly.
The President has never fully recov
ered from the attack of malaria which
caused him to make two trips in the light
house tender Violet, down Chesapeake
Bay and outside the capes.
Anxiety over the tariff situation, it is
supposed, aggravated his indisposition,
which was further aggravated by the
House in passing the tariff bill, and reac
tion came and made a change of air nec
essary Tho President left by the 7:10
train over the Pennsylvania railroad. He
took no action upon the tariff bill before
his departure beyond sending it> to' the
Secretary of thttTreasury for his report,
as is customary with revenue bills.
It will be necessary for the President
to be back in Washington by Tuesday
next. The resolution continuing the ap
propriation expires Motiddy, "but the sun
dry civil bill has not been . signed and all
the appropriations carried by it for last
year will cease Monday, unless the Presi
dent returns and gives the bill for the
current year his approval. The river arid
harbor bill also awaits the action of the
President, and there is much speculation
as to whether he will approve it or not.
Many of the appropriations carried by it
will cease if it is not approved by Tues
day.
THE PRESIDENT IN JERSEY.
Jersey City, Aug. 16.—President Cleve
land’s train arrived at 1 o’clock, twelve
minutes ahead of time. He embarked on
the lighthouse tug, John Rogers, which
immediately steamed down the bay. No
. one was allowed to speak to the Presi
dent.
SIX ROADS SOLD.
Sbuthern Railway Company to Absorb
the Queen and Crescent System.
Louisville, Ky., Aug. 16.—The Louis
ville Southern railway was sold to
Drexel, Morgan & Co. to-day for $.1,000,-
000. The New York firm was the only
bidder. The total first mortgage indebt
edness before tile sale was $500,000, and
the road, only bringing $1,000,000,
will pay but 20 per cent of its debt. The
bondholders who put their securities into
the reorganization will be benefited.
The bonds are now on the market from 65
to 70. The terms of the sale are that the
purchaser shall pay either in cash at a
specified time or give Louisville Southern
bonds at the pro rata prices,.minus the ex
penses occasioned by the sale and reor
ganization. :
Immediately after-thh sale",• the gentle
men accompanied by a number of local
railroad magnates and officials of the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia,
and. Cincinnati Southern,-left-on a special
train for Atlanta, Ga.,hwhttre another
road is to be put up for sale. It is said
upon the authority of an attorney of the
Southern Railroad ~ Company that the
Cineinfiati Southern lease will be sold
Saturday Aug. 18.
The Drexel Morgan officials said yester
day that they < would at the end of the
week have bought six railroads, and one
of these will undoubtedly be the.Cinein
nati Southern. Railroad men concede
that the passage of the. entire Queen and
Crescent system into the. hands of the
Southern Railway Company is a matter
of a short time only.
. BRITAIN’S ANARCHISTS.
Denial That They Are Allowed to Plot
Undisturbed.
London, Aug. 16.—John Gilbert Talbot,
conservative, questioned the home secre
tary in the House of Gommons to-day as
to the government’s policy toward the
anarchists. He said that Great Britain
was the only civilized country that saw
anarchists gather and and plot within her
borders, yet refused to take steps against
them. . ’ I .
Home Secretary Asquith answered that
the existing laws of Great' Britain suf
ficed amply for the country’s protection
and for the fulfillment of its international
duties. He denied that the anarchists
were allowed to plot undisturbed in En
glish cities.
PROTECTION CLAIMED.
Application to the Sheriff for a Force
of Deputies.
Pittsburg, Aug. 16.—The Pittsburg and
Chicago Gas and Coal Company has made
application to Sheriff Richards for a force
of deputies tor duty at the Snowden
mines, where, it is claimed, the striking
miners have been interfering with the
rew men imported by the company.

Kingdom, is drifting in Fleetwood bay.
