JAMES E. CAMPBELL.
THE BUCKEYE STATE IS SOLID FOR
HIM.
One Beltot Will Tell the Tele, ee It Ie Con
fidently Kxpecteil lie'll t>e Nominated on
the Flret—Delegatee Arriving—A fyily
Canard Going the Hound*.
Cleveland, Oblo, July IS.—Delegate*
to the democratic itate convention are
arriving in the city, and the Indications
are that to-morrow will witness one of
the largest democratic gatherings ever
assembled In the “Buckeye State.”
Although the preliminary meetings of
all tho committees will be held to-mor
row, the convention proper will not meet
until 10 a. m. Wednesday. ,
Hon. Allen W. Thurman, son of the
“old Itonian,” is to be temporary chair
man, as this selection Is made by the
state central committee.
It is apparent to all except the friends
of the other candidates that Governor
James E. Campbell will be renominated
on the first ballot, although the friends
of Hon. Lawrence Neal still insist that
their candidate has a fighting chance.
Hamilton county will cast a solid vote
for Xeal, unless the strenuous efforts
being made by Campbell’s friands to
have the renomination go to the govern
or by acclamation should finally induce
Xeal and Kline to withdraw in the inter
est of harmony.
The feeling against Campbell among
the Hamilton' county delegates is so
strong, however, that It is a very san
guine man indeed who would predict
harmony In Wednesday’s convention.
Gov. Campbell’s friends are complain
ing of a canard which they say is being
circulated by the enemies of the govern
or to the effect that he contemplates de
clining the nomination after winning the
fight, and that the Campbell men nre
then to throw the nomination to John A.
McMahon of Dayton.
The story receives no general cre
dence. Congrissman-cloct Thomas L.
Johnson of Cleveland returned from
Europo and has announced that ne will
be In Cleveland to-day.
It is reported that he will work in the
interest of O’Xeal.

GEO. D. WHEATLEY
Wny it Was Killed.
Atlanta, July 13'—One reason why
the senate killed the resolution to ap
propriate money for the continuance of
the military encampment was that the
senate did not care to encourage the
military spirit among the negroes.
They argued that the negroes are
already making demands on the govern
or to be allowed to participate in the
encampment fund. They thought that
encampment of the negro military would
bo hazardous and dangerous. Some of
the senators also thought that the en
campment was useless, and Involved an
extravagant and unnecessary expendi
ture of money.
President Polk Says the Alliance Is Tired of
Democratic Mean Denunciations.
Watuinoton, D. C., July 13.—Col. L.
L. Polk, president of the Notional
Farmers’ Alliance, Is In Washington to
day.
He emphatically denies the story that
any Kansas sub alllance or any body of
Kansas alliancemen had passed a resolu
tion offering to return to the field of the
republican party because It had become
evident to them that the southern all!
ancomen were sot represented at Cincin
nati, and that they still claimed to be
long to the democratic party.
Col. Polk says the story Is a “Joke,
pure and simple, and was made out of
the whole cloth to suit the ends of the
republican newspapers. lie claims that
the order has gained 15,000 members in
Kansas since tho Ocala convention, and
that it was never more thoroughly
united.
When asked if there would be a third
ticket In the presidential race, be said
that in the northwest the third party had
come to stay, and that it would not only
put a national ticket in the field, hut
that It would swoop Kansas, Nebraska,
tho two Dakotas and other states lu that
section.
He says he cannot forecast tho alli
ance action in the south; “bat,” he
added siguliicantly, “if the democratic
leaders in that section do not let up on
their Intolerance and denunciation of
our order and Its principles, there will
be a third ticket movement Inaugurated
all throughout the southern states.”
The alliance, be declared, was grow
ing weary with the leaders of the demo
cratic party in the south, and it would
not be unnatural for them to turn out
their detractors.
Col. Polk denies the story that Macune
has sold out to the protective tariff ad
vocates, and suggests that the report is
on a par with other calumnies directed
against the alliance chiefs.
Polk has been lecturing In New Tork
state to large audiences. He will join
Gen. Weavor, Mr. Simpson and other
alliance apostles In Georgia this week,
when the political gudgeons, he de*
clarcs, will run hot.
Tbe Oc.Uk Platform.
Atlanta, July 13.—It is not improba
ble that a resolution will be introduced
in the legislature to Indorse the Ooala
platform. The alliance members of the
legislature held a meeting last night and
It is said that the introduction of the
resolution was decided on.' If Introduced
It will no doubt be adopted, for the
alliance has a large majority In the leg
islature. The majority in the bouse is
largfcr in proportion than It Is In the
senate.
The New Districts.
Ateanta, July 13.—The Indications
are that the allianee members of the leg
islature will introduce and pass a ro-
distrletlng bIH that will surely elect an
allianceman from every district In the
e. The bill to be introduced by the
reapportionment committee may be so
emended that the original will not be
recognized, or a complete substitute
may be Introduced for tbe commltsee’s
bill.
Wants It for tbe Schools.
Atlanta, July 18 —If the resolution
of Mr. Rainy, of Cobb, Introduced in the
house this morning, becomes a law
there wiU be no encampment of the
military next year. It provides that the
$35,000 appropriated for next year be
appropriated to the commou school
fund of the state.
Ready for War.
Flaostaff, Arizona, July 13.—Six
hundred Xavajoa Indians are on tho war
path driving herders from their rangos
and slaughtering cattle. The Indians
are well armed. They have in all 18,000
and are well fixed financially. A posse
has gone to arrest the leaders.
It Is Judge run.
• Atlanta, July 13,-Judge W. H.
Fish was to-day olected Judge of the
southwestern circuit to fill out tbe un
expired term of Judge Fort. Judge

choice of .the people.

a telegram fromJMacon announcing that
his son, Moses Barrow, was killed there
yesterday afternoon while trying to board

Moses Barrow was a young man just
