When Judge Hoadly was nominated as the demo-
cratic candidate for governor OF Ohio, the party
based Its calculations of electing him upon the
vote OF she cities The theory nat the liquor
interest would support Hoadly, and the liquor
dealers and their friends are most numerous In
cities 1t was even calculated that Hoidly might
lose some democratic support In the rural districts
Tor the very reason that made him strcng In popu-
loas town and cities; that his admitted alliance
with the liquor dealers would Influence country
democrats with temperance procllvitles to scratch
him. 1t was intimated that In Cincinnati, Cleve-
land, Toledo and Columbus, the four leading
cities OF the state the democratic cand late would
get largely increased vote over that usually
polled by his party. The situation In these four
cities today does not Indicate that the demo-
cratic ticket will poll the average party strength
In any one OF them In Cincinnati there is open
and Incorporating warfare between two Or
gained democratic factions, each having a COM
piete ticket in the field In Cleveland there Is a
numerous element that makes 10 secret OF its hos
tility to the local leaders ard ticket In Toledo
party differences have not reached the stage OF
open rupture, but there Is discomfort. and apathy

The republicans Of New York. Massachusetts,
and the democrats OF Maryland hold conventions
To-day for the nomination OF state tickets In
New York the stalwarts have again secured con-
troll OF the party machinery, but the necessity for
harmony Will probably impel them to a moderate
conciliatory course. If there Is any factional
TEST In the convention IL will probably be the
nomination for secretary OF state. The stalwarts
favor the denomination Of the present incumbents
Gall stalwarts) for secretary OF state controller
attorney general and engineer. The half-breeds
propose Gen. Ethan Allen, untiring opponent
OF the Old machine, for secretary OF state. The
chances are, however, that the necessity for har-
mony will lead to some compromise arrange
ment
In Massachusetts, the refusal OF Mr.. H. I. Pierce
at the last moment TO head the ticket, surprises
and disappo.nts the republicans. Itwas the plan
to nominate him by reclamation. The al-absorb-
Ing idea Is to find a man that can beat Butler.
The German faction has carried everything be-
tOre 1T in Maryland, and the nomination OF its men
at the Baltimore convention to-day becomes q
mere pro forma proceeding. Gov Hamilton has
been forced out OF the Tight. Mr.. McLane win be
nominated for governor and ex-COngressman
Roberts for attorney general The managers have
yet to determine upon a candidate for controller.
The defeated faction Is very quiet far but there
Is discomfort, and while It may not break into
open revolt, the effect viii probably be felt at the
polls

Am Incident of Antietam


tTNfN ~ ttHctNftlJt EftqUVcY
The eX-COnfederate General Gordon told
me an interesting story about two inter-
views he held with General Barlow. At
Sharpsburg Barlow was apparently NOR
tally wounded, and fell into GOrdon'S
hands. Gordon took a liking to him, and
asked if he could not do something for
Barlow. Il think not, General" said the
Young man. Il shall be buried here, no
doubt. | do not expect to live; but you
can do one thing for me. Here is pack
eye Of letters from my wife, which | wish
YOU to destroy before my eyes," Gordon,
who was then young man also, took the
letters, and was about to destroy them,
when Barlow. with a bubble at his throat,
murmured: s.WOuld you take the trouble
to read me one of them first. Any one will
do Gordon opened one of the letters
and read it to the dying man, his last
friendly words, perhaps, from home.
Then the letters We're destroyed. But
the incident touched Gordon so that he
made special eXertiOn to have Barlow
sent through the lines or to have his wife
admitted to him. This being done the
two armies fell apart, and these men saw
each other no more. Gordon considered
Barlow to be dead. Barlow had also seen
that a Gen. Gordon had been killed some
where. They met again at friendly
table in Washington, but did not know
each other through the change Of time.
After some lapse Gordon said
Gen. Barlow, are you relative of
that Barlow who was killed at Antie-
tam?' -
''No,'' said the General, Il am the same
man. Are you any relative" inquired
Barlow in turn, "ofthat Gen. Gordon who
was recently killed on the Confederate
side?'
''That was my cousin. | am John b..
Gordon" Then, at the request of the
persons who overheard, Barlow told the
tale amid tears and emotion on every

The First Bale oil COTTON

The first bale of cotton of the season
sent to market by Mr.. Primus w. Jones,
of Baker county, Ga, arrived in New
York last week, and, quoting the remarks
of a MORNING NEWS correspondent on
the subject, the New York Times COM
ments as follows.
"The cotton dealers Of this city were
greatly surprised on Thursday by the
arrival of a bale of cotton which was
ALLEGED TO be the first shipment North OF
this years crop of Georgia's production.
The bale was allowed to remain i'll front
of the Cotton Exchange during a portion
of the day, and was inspected and admired
by a large number of dealers. 1t was
sold at auction. The bidding among the
members Of the Exchange was very lively,
and the supposed new cotton was par
celed out at the fancy price of 20 cents a
pound. \ bale was received from Long
cope, of Houston, Texas, by Henry Hentz
& Co., of this city, yesterday, which was
undoubtedly new cotton, Mr.. lIentZ said
that he had examined the Texas cotton
and found il to be very green and very
