THE OHIO REPUBLICANS,
County Convention Results-Taft Ahead
in the Race for Governor.

County Convention Results-Taft Ahead
in the Race for Governor.
New YORK, May ia Cincinnati de spatch
to the Times says that summary of the results
of the Republican County Conventions held
throughout Ohio Saturday shows that Taft is
likely to lead the Gubernatorial candidates in
the Cincinnati Convention on the 2Sth of May.
Not many of the delegations are instructed,
but the preferences of most of them are
known The counties in Charles Fosters Con-
gressional district and many others in the
northern part of the State are enthusiastic for
Foster. The Western reserve is apparently
divided between Sherman, Garfield, Taft and
Foster. The counties which include, the
cities of Columbus, Toledo, GAINESVILLE and
Chillicothe, most of the river counties, and a.
considerable number of other counties in Cen
tral and Southern Ohio, are strong for Taft.
Sherman figures very little as a candidate in
the resolutions, but there is strong under
current of feeling in his favor, and if his name
should be proposed in the convention, with
the assurance that he would accept, it is pro-
bable he would be nominated by reclamation.
The same is true of Garfield, but there appears
to be a general feeling that both these men are
doing better work for the Republican party at
the national capital than they could do at
Columbus, and that neither one ought to be
asked to Vake the race for Governor. The
conventions were everywhere marked by the
greatest enthusiasm In almost every county
were found Republicans who had been alien
ated from their party for years on various is
sues taking an active part in the proceedings,
and promising hard work during the cam
paign. The resolutions, almost without ex-
ception. commend the President for his stand
in opposition to the schemes of the nullifers
and revolutionists at Washington. In many
counties, resolutions complimentary to Secre-
tary Sherman and his management of 1.-THE fl
nances were adopted. The speeches made
showed a universal good feeling in the party,
and entire confidence in the success of the
ticket whoever the convention may nominate
Evidences were plenty in the conventions that
the rural districts are feeling keenly the dis
grace brought upon the state by the shameful
mismanagement of the public institutions
since they were reorganiZed by the Democrats

THE CHINESE QUESTION.
Gen. Grant Appealed toby the Chinese
Merchants-His Views on the Natter.


Merchants-His Views on the Matter.
New YORK, May ia letter states that
while atPenang Gen. Grant was the recipient
of an address by the Chinese merchants OF that
colony, in which they referred to the recent
bill prohibiting the immigration of Chinese to
America, and expressed the hope that he would
upon his return to his home, endeavor to have
such measure abrogated. In reply he stated
that he was only one citizen and had no more
power in the councils of the nation than any
other. He said that in all questions like this
there were demagogues, who, in America as in
other coutrieS, pander to prejudiceS against
race or nationality and favor any measure of
oppression that might advance their political
interests. A good deal of the antipathy to-
ward the people of other races in the United
States, of which we had heard SO much, was
demagoguery, and it did not represent the bet
ter feeling of the country. In this question of
Chinese emigration there was something to be
said in favor Of those who advocated a bill limit
ing emigration of the Chinese to America. In his
earlier years, when young officer IN the army,
the General said he spent some time III Cali
fornia and saw there something of the begin
ming of Chinese emigration to the United
States and he heard then objections to that
emigration on the part of good people. The
settlement of California was the beginning of
this whole agitation. He remembered very
well the objections he then heard to Chinese
emigration 1t was not to the Cinnamon
coming to the United States, but to his coming
in condition of slavery. He int nded when
he arrived in China to look into this question
He said our country had been through great
war to extinguish slavery and its people would
naturally oppose the immigration of slaves
This in brief, said the General, was the obiec-
ton to Chinese emigration on the part of
Americans, who had none but the kindest
feelings toward the Chinese people, and who
would extend to them, if they choose to make
their home with us, the welcome they extended
to the rest of the world.

thing quiet On the st. Laurent of the

being conveyed to Castle Garden. The Indi-

SIMLA, May 19.-Robbery by armed gangs is
assuming alarming proportions in the Deccan.
especially in the Poona district. For some
time past bands have been securing the coun
try committing daring attacks on houses and
villages They seem to form a part of n
regular organization, under the command of
one Wassadeo Bulwund, lately clerk in the
Financial Department. They are SUI :pected of
having set the fire which DESTROYED the govern
ment school, the Boodwar palace, the law
courts, post office an fifty houses in Poona ON
the night of the 18th inst.
In their remarkable manifesto to the Bonn
bay Government, in which they threaten to
raise another mutiny and PIT price on the
head of the Governor unless their distress
is relieved, they inform the Government that
great distress prevails in the country, and I'M
less extensive public works are at once opened
and employment provided for the people, the
native trades encouraged, taxes reduced, and
the salaries of highly paid Europeans cut down
they will not cease to plumber but will extend
to the Europeans what they have hitherto con-
fined to the natives. They will kill the
Governor of Bombay, hang the Judge of the
Court OF Sessions of Poona, carry murder and
rapine throughout the country and stir up an
other mutiny and massacre of Europeans The
manifesto ends by warning the Governor I'M
less he at once complies with the acquisitions
the price. of 1000 rupees will be put on his
head. Four persons, including Wassadeo
Bulwund append their signatures and seals to
their manifesto. The Government, which at
first was inclined to leave the matter in the
hands of the local police, is now taking more
energetic measures. A considerable number
of troops have been told off to patrol the
country, and reward of a thousand rupees
offered for the capture Of Wassadeo Bulwund.

A KENTUCKY SCANDAL.
Louisville Society Agitated by an Aft air
Which Threatens Serious Trouble.

LOUISVILLE, May ia commotion was
caused in society circles here by the announce
ment that persons belonging to the best
families in the state were actors in a very dark
scandal. The facts as stated are that Mr.. Will
liam Tomlinson, brother of ex-Secretary
Belknap's wife, was prevented from, killing
WISCONSIN, e. Stanley Bowman, by the inter
ference of his father and the appeals Of his
mother. Tomlinson and Bowman are part
ners in business, the father of the former hay
ing given both their starting money. Two
years ago Tomlinson married Miss Jessie Buck
ner of Greenville, Miss, who was attending
school at Harrodsburg, KY, then the home of
her husbands family Miss Buckner is as ac-
complished as she is beautiful, and while in
Kentucky was in care of Little Phil Thomp-
son, Milton j. Durham's successor in Congress.
Miss Buckner is descended from a distinguish
ed family of Mississippi, and is cousin of
Senator Beck's wife, Bowman's uncle is re-
gent of the Kentucky University at Ashland,
Henry Clay's old home. His father was re-
Gently United States Collector at Lexington.
The cause of the breach between Tomlinson
and Bowman was the discovery by the former
of an improper intimacy between Bowman and
his wife. Confessions were forced from both,
the wife declaring that her husbands partner
and cousin had drugged her with wine. Her
husband sent her to Mississippi, and Bowman
fled to Washington. 1t is feared that serious
trouble may yet grow out of the affair.
