Special TO the Star.
COLUMBUS, O., June Al A. M.-The Gu
bernatorial fight wakes hotter, and all the
candidates are putting their Utmost power
at work to capture the organizations. Since
yesterday morning Ewing has gained some
what in favor, especially since the river
counties have reported, and the Greenback
delegates have arrived. The effort how
ever, is between Rice and Bishop, with Rice
In the lead and backed by the reputed man
agers of the party. 1t is conceded that
Bishop and the Ewing men can not combine
to defeat Rice, while Rice and Ward can
defeat either of the others.
Wards chances of success yet remain as
compromise with possibility of accepting
the second place on the ticket in case Rice
is successful. The Bishop men declare that
NJ. G. Thompson exerts himself too much
in favor of Rice they will throw him out of
the Craftsmanship of the State Central Com
mittee, by revertng the order of business
Hamilton, the largest delegation in the
State, will be divided which is against
Bishop. Ewing will not take with the Gin
einnati delegation, and his principal
strength is with the Greenbackers, who
want to be coaxed to fusion. In the fight
the Lieutenant Governor has been over
looked as to personality, and an effort is
being made to get prominent German to
accept.
THE LIEUTENANT GovERNoRsHIP.
Hassaurek declining, ]. H. Helman has
been mentioned, with the chances in favor
Of s. F. Hunt. Thurman for Governor is
regarded as even too strong, and would
bring out the entire Republican party of
the country against him and more des-
perate war would be made on him than
any other. Besides, his friends will not
jeopardize him, but are determined to cut
off Ewing Rice will not accept the second
place with Ewing nor Ewing with Rice.
The most determined war is being made by
one upon the other, and q general cut
throat business has set in. Rice and
Bishop men are alike upbraiding Ewing's
record on "Order No. H." So far the
Greenbackers have not committed them
selves and seem to hold the fort.
BISHOP STOCK LOOKING UP.
GA. M.-The delegates are up and the
work is interesting but confounded
Bishop is booming more than ever. There
has been wonderful change since last
night. The fight is now between Bishop
and Rice. Durbin Ward is nowhere.
A Ewing boom was instituted last night
and things looked as if he would be the
dark horse, but this morning Ewing is
played out Bishop has secured 43 votes
from Hamilton County. The friends of
Bishop claim he will get the nomination
on the second ballot.
HAMILTON COUNTY MEETING.
10 A. M.-The Hamilton County delega-
the joint session. W. J. Cramsey, tempo
rary Secretary, Fred Mollenkamp, Sergeant

the Neil House.
Finally, after big war, J. w. Fitzgerald
took the reins and organized. A motion
that s. W. Hoffman and Andy Mullane be
allowed to fill Clayton and Ebersol's places
by proxy brought on battle. Alex. Long
was kicked out and Jimmy ran the ma
chine ana Mullane was elected.
Things are fixed up for Bishop. For
permanent Chairman, Julius Refs re-
ceived 81 votes, and w. H. Pugh 10 votes.
Fitzgerald wanted Policeman Brady to fill
the Fourteenth Ward.
Long kicked, and another big fight fol-
dy's appointment. The war ended by Brady
being made temporary delegate. The
Eighteenth Ward vacancy was filled by
Charles Farley.
There was another fight about how the
Chairman should cast the vote of the dele
CATION. Refs said he would vote according
to the absentees' expression. The Bishop
click acted outragerlsly. The Thurman,
Ewing and Ward delegates were showed
into corner
Fitzgerald and 81. Hoffman bull-dozed
