COLUMBUS, o, July 29.-Indications
are that the Liberal and Allen County Con-
veDtion ton orrow will not be so .arge as
anticipated. Repre-: entatiVes from thirty
two counties have arrived. The Liberal
Republicans held a caucus to night. w.
B. sloan acted as chairman. Most of the
evening was spent in the interchange of
opt ion as to the prospects Of success in
tie new movement, and while all of the
speakers hoped for success, several of the
most prominent among them declared they
didn't expect success this year, but were
| willing to wait for the future. A resolu-
ton endorsing the Liberal State Executive
Committee in changing the tina for The
meeting of the Liberal Convention from the
| time first selected, was laid on the table.
The following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That we heartily join with the
Democrats CT Queen county and all others
who choose to participate to form new
party TO deal with living issues, and unite
with them in the adoption of platform
and the nomination of ticket. Col.
Lane, of Dayton, in the course of his re-
marks fayoring this new party movement,
said he was satisfied from personal knowl-
edge that Senator Thurman at heart favored
a Lew party, N didn't openly say so be-
cause be felt he was impo .ent to bring up
the masses Of the Democratic patty to his
| support. Col. Lane said he hoped some
| high minded Democrat would be chosen to
| head the ticket TO re nominated tomorrow.
| This sentiment was heartily applauded.
Indicate ions are that either Chiffon A.
White, of Bison county, or Judge Collins,
| of Cincinnati, both Democrats, will be
nominated for Governor.
