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.

Cannot you save something by trading with 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.
