COLUMBUS, o., June 16--11:30 p. NJ
The crowd of delegates to the Conven-
tion is greater if anything than the one
which nominated Hayes, few weeks
ago. Hotel men are reaping harvest;
they are reluctantly compelled to turn
scores away who. have been arriving
on every train all day, and the ones who
are delayed in making their appearance
until late tonight and tomorrow morn
ing will have to take to the woods.
Hundreds had the forethought to en-
gage accommodations beforehand, and
are fixed.
The private hash mills will begin to
grind and turn many an honest penny
from the necessities of the hungry and
sleepy delegates who come to shout MBo-
Ianzas" to 1sOld Bill Allen.n The Ham
ilton county delegation came at6P. Nj,
Among the noble army Of unterrified
came the red and rubicund .Geghan, the
irrepressible Jimmy Fitzgerald and the
plausible and pleasant-t0ned Banning,
who is supposed to be looking after the
interest Of the school fund. The special
train that was advertised TO leave Gin
cinnati at $3.50 p. M. didn't leave, and
many were disappointed. They will
come to time at midnight. H't
There Is not the shadow Of doubt but
that Governor Allen will be nominated
by acclamation. There is no opposition.
The second place ON the ticket will be
graced by the name of Gen. s. FentOn
Cary, for all that he is loaded down with
silver mine. His lawsuit in reference
to the mine does not seem to hurt him in
the estimation OF the faithful, and you
can rest assured that he will sail in, Hou-
withstanding the Hamilton county dele
cation are almost q unit in favor of. the
other Sam-Hunt. From all that can be
CLEANED among those who are supposed
TO pull the wires that make the puppets
dance, the most important part OF the
ticket will stand thus: Governor, VIM.
Allen; Lieutenant Governor, s. F. Gary
Supreme Judge, I. @. Ashburn, Of Cler-
mont; Auditor Of State, E. M. Green, Of
Shelby.
It il barely possible that Cary may
hays.some opposition, as some tolerabIy
strong men are mentioned for the place
but tney are not urged with as much en-
thusiasm as persistency. Among the
latter may be noted Judge Potter, Of To-
ledo; John III. Hudson, OF Sandusky
Senator Reese, of Hooking, or Frank
Kelley, of Cleveland. The only man,
apparently, who will give Greene any
trouble, In the race for state Auditor, is
u E. b. Eshelman, OF Wayne, although q
5 half dozen other men would undoubted dly
consent to run, In connection with the
office OF Treasurer si1eh Games as Gepl
Dodge, OF Cleveland; H0WeiIs, Of Stark.
Toberin, OF Defiance; Ex-senator Jam
ison, Of Defiance, and many others, toe
numerous to mention, loom up.
= The only tormidable competitor o.
Ashburn for The Judgeship will no doubt
be Judge III. Q. Whitman, of Cincinnati,
q gentleman who some years ago said be
would never have his hair cut until Ste
phen A. Douglas was'seated In the Pres.
idential chair; in consequence OF which
foolish resolve, in vieW OF the beautiful
y uncertainty of politics, his flowing name
rivals In profusion and length the auburn
4 ringtets Of the immortal ). N, who, by
the way, is here--as he was at the Repub'
lican pow-woW--s'all for truth.o Then
look at The array OF legal gentlemen who
stand ready 10 assume the pressure oil
--Thomas Powell, of Delaware; II. r. l.,
Baber, Of Columbus; e. S. Wallace, o1
Springfield; Gen. E. NJ. Brown, OF Cleve,
land; Thfesher, of Dayton; Trainer, oil
Jefferson; Chas. Darlington, Of Greene
Pillars, OF Allen; and last, but not least,
our own curly .headed Hon. g. q. Archer,
pf Third street.
In casting horoscope shadowing
forth the complexion of the financial part
oil the coming platform, speak with a
less degree of ASSURANCE, but am inclined
: to venture the prediction that the reso-
luton of last yearrelatIve TO the finances
will be readopted, as VIII also one af-
frming that the great ana GLORIOUS
Democratic party are the original dis
coverers of both the Constitution and
the Free School system.
AT City Hall tonight speeches were
made to densely packed audience by
the witty Sunset Cox, who formerly
lived here, as he reminded us; also by
Hon. Allen G. Thurman. The usual
amount of party enthusiasm was mani
tested. The glowing Sunset, as usual,
struck witty vein, and he worked it
well. His text: s'And your feet shall be
as hens feet"
At the ratification meeting tomorrow
night the above speakers will be rein
forced by him Of the once famous party
name of "Young Greenbackso-Gent
man George II. Pendleton.
The point III Gov. Aliens speech which
was most loudly applauded was the one
In which he said:''No doubt when Grant
read The resolution passed by the recent
Republican Convention, In which ne and
his administration were indorsed, at the
same time declaring against mis- eontinu-
ance in office, he smiled sardoiic grin
Z and said, sBabcock, pass the bottle.'O
A rumor is in circulation tonight that
the Converse ring of the Democratic
party will present Judge Pugh for Chair
man Of the Stata ExnGutiva (lOm m itt O
against John G. Thompson. Hooking
and some other counties are bitterly op-
posed to the latter gentleman remaining
on the Committee.
