tlGn. -
COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 5-Ineications are
that the straightout Democratic Convention
tomorrow will be very large and earnest.
There has besn no Convention here for
years that shows so many Democratic lead
ers as are bow here. Early in the cay
there might have been few who hoped
for aid and comfort for. hs nominees OF the
peoples Convention held last week, but
this hope is out of the question. There is
the most persistent determination to ignore
and do sll that is possible to wipe out al
connected with the Convention of last week.
VIM. Allen, of Ross, Lewis Campbell, ol
Butler, John McSweeny, of Wooster, and
S. F. Carey, of Hamilton, have been talked
of for Governor, but all are now out of the
way except Alien, and he will be nominated
to head the ticket, tomorrow by acclama-
ton. Party leaders have assurances that
Allen will accept, if the nomination is
unanimous. There is little talk of caDdi-
dates for Subordinate offices, but if thsy
will accept it is quite probable that either
Mes SBeeney or Carey will be nominated
