Administration and 'PC Platform are
Endorsed—The Other Offi
cers Nominated.
SmiNG field, O.. Aug. 22.—The dem-
ocratic state convention was held here
yesterday. It was opened by prayer by
Prof. S. P. Breckinridge at 10:30 and
Senator Calvin S. Price presided. The
senator was loudly cheered when intro
duced and frequently applauded as he
proceeded to speak, especially in his
reference to the indorsement of the
platform of 1802 and his pronounced
opposition to free coinage, also in his
eulogy of President Cleveland.
The report of the committee on per
manent organization, continuing the
temporary officers was adopted. The
report was made by Judge J. G. Melser,
a free silver man. who put the motion
and congratulated the free silver men
that they controlled the convention
for the minute that he presided.
Senator Price returned his thanks
for the double honor conferred on him,
after which the report on rules and
order of business was adopted.
Ex-Congressman John F. Follett, of
Cincinnati, had an amendment adopted
limiting any debate to twenty minutes
on each side with a view to preventing
a protracted debate on the resolutions.
Ex-Congressman Frank Hurd, as
chairman of the committee on resolu
tions, offered the Majority report which
favors “sound mony” and endorses the
platform of 1802. The Manority report
was in favor of free silver.
Upon a test vote for their adoption
the vote was 270 to 525 in favor of the
majority report.
Before and after 2 p. m. motions for
recess were voted down amid cries for
Campbell, and when nominations were
called for Mr. Campbell took the floor
to hold oil' the calls for himself and to
present the name of Judge Hiram D.
Peck, of Cincinnati, for the nomination
for governor.
He reviewed the conditions national
as well as in the state and said the
democrats could win this year as easily
as six years ago. He was interrupted
by Dr. James A. Norton, who precipi
tated a motion to snspend the rules and
nominate James E. Campbell by ac
clamation. Mr. Campbell protested
and raised points of order, amid the
wildest scenes of cheering and yelling
for Campbell.
Governor Campbell said be had run
for congress three times in a republican
district and twice for governor in a re
publican state, till he was depleted fi
nancially and otherwise unable to make
the sacrifice for the race. He insisted
on the nomination of Judge Peck or
some other good democrat who could
make a good race and afford to make it.
Seconds of the nomination of Camp
bell rolled in. Chairman Price insisted
that the motion of Dr. Norton to sus
pend the rules and nominate Campbell
was in order.
Mr. Ingalls, who previously opposed
Campbell, made a strong plea for him
as the winning- candidate. The motion
of Dr. Norton was put, carried, with a
great whirl of enthusiasm and the
chair declared Mr. James E. Campbell
the nominee for governor of Ohio.
John"!!. Peasley, of Cincinnati, ex-
superintendent of public schools and
ex-auditor of Hamilton county, was
nominated for lieutenant-governor by
acclamation.
For supreme judge, Wm. T. Mooney,
of Mansfield, Richland county, and
Wm. B. Shober, of Gallia county, for
state treasurers were both nominated
by acei a mation.
George A. Fairbanks, of Columbus,
was nominated by acclamation for at
torney-general.
James W. Kennett. of Mansfield, was
nominated by acclamation for state
auditor.
Harry P. Keefer, of Elyria, was nom
inated for member of the board of pub
lic- works and J. W. Crnkshank, of
Troy, for clerk of the supreme court by
acclamation.
- V. ith a series of rcsoltious of thanks
the convention at 2:40 p. in. adjourned.
The nominations having all been made
in about half an hour.
\\ .\si:ivUTo.N, Aug. 22.—The slate de
partment is without any information
about the report that tiie Chinese ofli-
cialshave refused to allow the mixed
American and British commission to
make a free and complete investigation
of the Kuckeng massacre. If the re
port be true there is no doubt that con
firmation will be received through a
cable message from Minister Denby cr
some United States consular office in
China.
As the situation now appears, the
Chinese government is taking a great
risk in hampering the commissioners.
Feeling in England on the subject is
intense and if every opportunity is not
given the British commissions, the
British government according to tin:
state department view, will probably
take active measures to enforce its
demand for redress and compel China
to redeem the promise that the mur
derers of British missionaries would be
punished by death. This country has
not the same interest in the massacre
that the British have, for the reason
that one American only, Miss Hartford
was injured, whereas, ten English peo
ple were butchered. The United-
States government has not com
mitted itself in any: way with re
gard to tlie investigation that the Chi.
nese are said to have blocked and what
it will do in the event that the report
concerning the obstacles thrown in the
commissioner's way may prove true,
cannot be stated, with any degree of
nositiveness at the present time.

Washington, Aug. 22.—Since the
closing of the Bannock Indian troubles,
the interior department has been busy
collecting material as a basis for a re
port of the whole affair and it has now
about completed its task. It has long
been understood that chose implicated
in the killing and wounding of Indians
would ho brought to account. The de
partment of justice will soon have all
the facts of the affair laid before it,
probably today, and it is understood
that the interior department will
recommond that special agents he de
tailed to visit the scenes of the recent
troubles and make an investigation
with a view to publishing the persons
who engaged in killing the Indians. In
the event that the department of jus
tice acquiesces in this recommendation,
the interior department will send in
spectors along - with the agents to as
sist in the investigation.
It is not likely that Agent Teter will

tuarion in tlie State of
Pennsylvania.
Pmi.ADET.rniA, Pa., Aug. 22.—The
result of last night's republican prima
ries was confirmed by the convention.
According to figures given out by the
Quay leaders, the senator already has
100 votes, 15 more than the number
necessary to elect him state chairman.
The last county in the state to elect
delegates is Lehigh, whose primaries
will be held on Friday night next.
Senator Quay says he has little hope of
capturing the four delegates from this
county, as the opposition has a very
strong organization.
Senator Quay will go to Harrisburg
today' and remain there until after the
convention on August 2Sth. Governor
Hastings, leader of theanti-Quay tight,
is in Harrisburg, as is also Banking
Commissioner B. F. Gilkerson, the
present state chairman, whom Senator
Quay seeks to defeat for re-election.

CHAMPION BELT ARRIVED.
It U Worth £1*0 JO aatl Will go to the
Winner at the Firemens* Knees.
Atlanta, Aug. 22.—The thousand
dollar international championship gold
belt offered by the Cotton States and
International Exposition for firemen’s
races was received yesterday from
the Braxman Company. It is an ex
ceedingly handsome belt, consisting of
nine shields of gold. The central
shield is five by six inches, surmounted
by: the United States flag and eagle in
gold, with diamonds to represent the
stars of the states. On the shield is the
following inscription: "International
Championship Belt for Hose Racing.
Open to the world. Offered by the Cot
ton States and Internatioa Exposition
Company, of Atlanta, Ga.’’ On either
side of the central shield are four other
shields, each three by four inches in
size, garnisned with emeralds and
rubies above and below. The shields
are joined together by two g'old chains,
one at the top and one at the bottom oi
the shield, the whole forming a manifi-
cent belt, one of the handsomest ever
seen in America.
This belt is^offered for hose racing
to cover a distance of three hundred
yards. Chief Joyner of the Atlanta
Fire department, who has the contest
in charge, propose to break the record
at this race. The run will have to be
made, the water thrown all in less than
thirty-eight seconds.
half a hundred men had just quit work
for the night. They had been instal
ling the arc electric lighting for the
opening of the big show building
September 2. with Barnum & Bailey’s
circus. So far as known at this hour
no one killed by the accident. Several
watchmen had just made their rounds
of the building and were standing un
der the walls which are unusaily r low
for the size of the building. They
were on the street when the crashing
superstructure of iron gave warning of
danger, they had plenty:of time to rush
to a place of safety. Then the massive
arches of iron began to break
loose from their fastenings from the
four sides of the structure the strain
was too much for tlie thick low walls
of pressed brick. With a deafening
sound the massive iron carried with it
the four walls in a chaotic heap towards
the centre and the work of destruction
was complete. The cost of the Colise
um was to be £225.000 and as it was
nearly completed for the opening show
the loss is believed to be near §200.000.
Everything was being' done, in a hurry
to keep the opening date and only last
week three workmen met death while
engaged on the superstructure. Two
of the iron workers fell 10J feet from
a beam while placing the bolts in the
beams.
The president and prime mover of
the enterprise from its eneeption is
John T. Dickinson, late of Fort Worth.

SITUATION IN KENTUCKY.
GOVERNMENT FINANCES.
They : him- the Lowest 1 iffure Since Last
March.
Washington. Aug. 22.—The official
figures issued yesterday show that the
general treasury balance stands' at
5181.534,S97. This includes §3,370.277
disbursed on account of bonds ana in
terest this month which will not appear
on the first of September. Deducting
this, the actual balance is found to he
,§179.158,020. This is the lowest figure
reached since last March, when the
treasury began to receive the proceeds
of the sale of bonds at that time, the
oalauce of the available funds in the
treasury is sometning less than £S0,000,
000 and this is necessarily divided
among the several sub-treasuries and in
designated despositories. Thus far
there has been no necessity to transfer
funds by telegraph from one point tc
another in order to meat heavy drafts
as was done before the last bond issue
and treasury officials do not believe
that they will be compelled to do so
While it is true that receipts from cus
toms dues are likely to be lighter for a
time than they: have been, owing to
the fact that the heavy fall importa
tions are generally in, confidence is
felt by the department officials that
the revenue will he sufficient to meet
expenditures. Certainly this will be
the case in their opinion, when the im
portations of spring goods begin to ar
rive in the near future. In the mean
time the balance will be kept well up
to its present figure.

fore both houses of tlie legislature, the
expecte 1 c retract made with Z. S.
Spalding to grant a subsidy and exclu
sive franchises in return for laying and
and operating a cable from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu. The only material
change was a reduction of the annual
subsidy from §50.000 to §40,000. Only
one senator made decided opposition to
the concessions granted. The senate
appointed a committee to confer with
the chamber of commerce and ascer
tain the views of the merchants. The
conference was held on the morning of
the 13th, lasting nearly two hours.
Vigorous opposition to the concessions
was made by Messrs Lowry and Swan-
sey. Several others earnestly favored
them. Mr. Thurston. Spalding's attor
ney made very effective statement for
the concessions. The chamber voted
20 to 3 in favor of ratification by the
legislature of the contract.
In the afternoon the senate passed
the joint resolution ratifying the con
tract of the government with Spalding,
only one senator dissenting. The rep
resentatives followed also with a simi
lar vote. Colonel Spalding has secur
ed a fully ratified contract with Hawaii
and is ready to apply to the coming
meeting of congress for needed aid. A
general sentiment it expressed that he
may succeed.

George Roberts with a 3S-ealibre re

and had refused to pay. Gollahon is a
man of rather peaceful habits, and a
prosperous merchant at this place.

indebtednes he was knocked down by

New Discovery I owe my life. Was
taken with LaGrippe and tried all
the physicians for miles about but
of no avail and was given up and
told that I could not live. Having
Dr. King’s New Discovery in my

its use and from the first dose began
to get better, and after using three
bottles was up and about again. It

Mayfield, Ky., Aug. 22.—The seo-
tmd debate between general Hardin
and lion. W. O. Bradley took place here
yesterday afternoon. To the disnp-
poinfcnent of all democrats who heard
him, General Ilardin strenuously
avoided the currency question until
within ten minutes of the time iu
which he was to close. Then in re
sponse to Mr. Bradley’s question^ ho
said he would appoint to succeed either
of the two United States senators
should either of them die, a man who
would be in favor of coinage of both
gold and silver upon exactly equal
terms. “I hope to be able to appoint
one good enough,” he added, “and one
who wiil be able to preserve a perfect
party in all the money we hare.”
General Hardin touched much less
upon the money question than he didnt
the opening debate at Louisville, al
though he takes practically the same
ground that he did there. General
Bradley came out boldly for the single
gold standard and derided General
Ilardin for his failure to take a bold
stand for his side of the question.
There were many prominet demo
crats present from all over the state
aud there is a strong sentiment that
there should be a new democratic
standard bearer, or else the whole tick
et will be defeated.
It is stated that .Senator Lindsay will
take tne stump and make arguments
in favor of sound money. Under the
present condition of things in demo
cratic Kentucky this means that- the
senator will wage war on General P.
Watt Ilardin and his free silver ideas.
Bewnr of Ointments for Catarrh that Con
tain Mercury.
As mercury will surely destroy the sense of
smell and completely derange the whole sys
tem when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never be used
except on prescriptions from reputable phy
sicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold
to the good you can possibly derive from
them. Hall’s Catarrh Cure manufactured by
F. J. Cheney Co,. Toledo, O.. contains no
mercury, and is taken internally, acting di
rectly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. In buying Hall’s Catarrh Cure
be sure yon get the genuine. It is taken in
ternally, and made in Toledo. Ohio, by F. J.
