The Ohio Democratic Convention.
COLUMBUS, August 5.-The indica-
tions are that the straight-out Demo
cratic convention tomorrow will be
a very large and earnest one. There has
been no convention here for years that
I has shown so many Democratic wheel
1 horses as are now here. Early in the
lday there might have been a few who
hoped fer aid and comfort for the nomi-
nees of the Peoples convention, held
| last week, but q talk with the delegates
put this hope out of the question. There
| Is a most persistent determination to
ignore and do al that is posi-
bic to wipe ont all connected
with the convention of last week. VIII
liam Allen, of Ross; Lewis \. Campbell,
of Butler; John McSweeney, of WoOs-
ter; and S. F. Carey, of Hamilton, have
been talked of for governor, but all are
now out Of the way, except Allen, and
he will be nominated to head the ticket
! tomorrow by acclamati0n. The party
I leaders have assurances that Allen will
| accept if the nomination is unanimous.
7 There is little talk of the candidates for
/ subordinate offices, but if they will ac-
cept, it is quite probable that
either McSweeney or Carey will
be nominated for Acknowledgements

with Indian Springs to hear from, which

LOUISVILLE, August Sit is possi-
bic that Burns, representative, hss been
elected to the State senate from Lebanon
district, otherwise DeurO Mays has been
generally sustained. A Courier Journal
special from Lexington, says that Good
lOe, representative, has a msjority Of
twenty for the State senate, but in one
precinct the negroes took forcible posses
sion Of the polls, and the Judges refuse to
sign the pon-bOoks. The vote at this
precinct is probably thrown out, T.
Woodbridge, Democrat, viii then have
majority.
Rhe Canadian Pacific Railroad Scandal.
BosTON, August "a special from
Montreal, dated the fourth instant, says
that rumor was current Sunday that
Sir John A. Mcdonald had attempted
to commit suicide. Government Off
cials denied the story, but it is certain,
however, that the premier has been in 3
very low state. Mr.. Beatty, jr., figures
to-day in connection with the Pacific
railroad scandal. In letters over his
signature, in tine Herald, he circumstan-
tally and minutely relates an arrange
ment that had been made for the pur-
pose of securing one hundred thousand
dollars from Americans for the use of
the government, and goes into the par
ticulars of his interview with the minis
ters, and shows their readiness to take
and make, come from where it might so
long as it would enable them to retain
power. He asks for fifty thousand dol
lars now, and fifty thousand hereafter,
and says: 81 have had about three
months correspondence, both by letter
and by personal interviews, of the first
importance to the government, and all
of IL with the ultimate object OF settling
the Pacific loan" He then gives the
following extract from letter of one of
the ministry: 'sGhe Telegraph is trying
to turn the concern into a Joint stock
affair. hope it will succeed. 1t will be
the entering wedge, and new capital
consolidate the concern.n He goes on
TO say again: ~ will subside until ac-
ton Is deemed indispensably necessary" !"
