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.

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.

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. AT FEVER HEAT.

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. AFFAIRS AT ALBANY. j ■ .......... Russell's Nomination , by Acclama tion Oonsidsred Buret Albany, Ga., Aug. 16. —News received from Worth county to-day is to the effect that Col. W. A. Harris, the well-known secretary of the state Senate for many years, is very ill with typhoid fever at his home at Isabella.

Full returns from the congressional primaries, held in this district yesterday, gives Russell 26 votes in convention and Guerry 8. ,? The conventiotr meets here Aug. 31, and its work under the condi tions that will will be only per functory. Ruasell will be nominated by acclamation, and the democracy will then be ready for laying out the thii’d party.

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.

There were about 1,500 present, the great ma jority being negroes auid women and children. There was no enthusiasm', in fact, his speech fell flat as a flounder and local populists were much disappointed, saying that Thomas had lost his fire and aggressiveness. We are pretty sure he made no converts- to-day, indeed we be lieve his speech helped democracy. Nominated for the Legislature. Baxley.

Anxiety Caused by the Vexatious Tariff Dispute Affect s the President’s Health—A Few Days in the Salt Air 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.
