READY FOR THE FRAY.
The Delegates Buckling on their

FOR THE POLITICAL BATTLE TO-DAY.
The Republicans Of Ohio will Convene
at Columbus for the Purpose of
Nominating State Ticket
Some Gossip.

NpNtss~ OtSrAsS" " Gto IacgtStcJ,
CoLUNBrs, June 4.-The Republican
State Convention, which conyeaes here to-
morrow, is the alabsorbing topic of con.
versation here onight. Delegates are AZ
irving from all sections of the State, and
the air is thick with prophesies as to whom
will be the man. The Neil House presents
perfect pandemonium, and the delegates
are pulling the old political wire until il
is stretched nigh unto the final strain.
The questions at issue are very tender,
and while they will not bear much hand
ling, still they must be taken up, put into
the platform, ard be adopted or rejected.
There will be a big time, and the money
kings will use every power to have what
they think
The Right Man Nominated.
Your correspondent asked a delegate who
would be the nominee. That's hard to
tell he said, "a candidate may be chosen
without much fighting, and then again we
may be obliged to linger little longer than
We anticipated" He was the only person
who expressed himself thusly. There is a
general opinion that the whole thing is
cut and dry and that all the Convention
will have to do will be to lndorse Judge J.
B. Foraker for Governor. He is Fosters
man.
foraker has Ability,
is brilliant stumper, but is Door. The
Governor will put up for him and hen
have his backing in turn when the Sena-
tOrship is on, il the Republicans get the
Legislature. While the prospects seem to
be in favor of the Democrats carrying both
the State ticket and the Legislature yet it
is impossible TO predict anything as TO the
result, as money has become a powerful
factor in the elections of Ohio. Judge
Lawrence IS looked on in the State as the
candidate of Senator Sherman and the
Washington end of the party, and that is
against him. Then he has been before
every State convention for the last ten
years for something, and is too chronic
case for
Successful Treatment.
Joe Turney, of Cleveland, the present
Treasurer of the State and a very popular
man, is more formidable candidate than
he. Among the other names mentioned
for the place is General Samuel Thomas OF
the Seeney railroad syndicate; Congress-
man Thomas l.. Young, Zen Butterworth
and J. 5. Robinson.
With all the other vital points at stake
this year the temperance question will be
a more important issue than ever before,
but it is not being agitated now. The Re-
publicans will stand by the Scott liquor
tax law and their proposed constitutional
amendments, while the Democrats will
have plank against ali sumptuary laws,
and on these platforms they will go into
the contest

THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE HORROR.
The Inquests In the Cases oTthe Twelve
Victims Begun.

New YoRK. June THE inquest began
to-day in the cases OF the twelve victims OF
the recent panic on the Brooklyn bridge.
c. c. Martin, Superintendent Of the bridge,
testified to the facts of the occurrence as
learned by him. and stated that at the
time of the disaster there were
twenty two police officers on the bridge. A
railing had been put up at the, stairway
since the accident, but the witness said
this precaution would not remedy matters
there in case of another panic. An inclined
plane had been suggested in place OF a
stairway, but this also would not afford
any relief, but on the contrary, would be
dangerous in slippery weather. The pres
ent stairway was the best arrangement
that could be made for the safety OF pas
sengers

MAYNARD WOMEN.
Mormon Missionaries Breaking Up
Peaceful Homes.
Nearly an Entire Baptist Congregation
Converted to tter Disgusting and
Criminal Faith.

RALEIGH, n. c.. June IA few years
ago Mormon missionaries, as they term
themselves, first appeared in this State, in
the wild section between the Blue Ridge
mountains and the Tennessee line, and
conducted their work, devoting themselves
to converting ignorant women to their
faith. People got wind of their presence,
and of their dreadful practices, and the
missionaries were whipped almost TO death
and driven over the border into South Car
oina. Last autumn Two returned 10 the
same county and worked in queer, almost
weeks ago other
Mormon Preachers
to the number of fifteen Joined them and
a mere earnest prosecution OF work begun.
The Mormons became more open in
preaching their doctrine and broke up a
congregation of the Baptist church, max
ing proselytes of nearly all members. At
teution has been directed to the practices,
which are barbarOus and shockIngly inde-
cent. All women who become converts
have first TO be baptized. The rite is ad-
ministered at night in streams or ponds,
the women being in state OF absolute
nudity. Spies on the watch made this
discovery few nights since, and the great
est Indignation was aroused, which Is fast
spreading all over the State.
Mormons Meet Women I'm Fields
or in houses alone and convert them, bap-
tize them in the way stated, and at once
send them West. In four days lO6 passed
over into Tennessee bound to Utah. The
missionaries state that they are not afraid,
but will begin work in the districts nearer
the centre of the State. They are now
conducting their operations in Rutherford
county 1t is understood that plans are
on foot to deal out terrible punishment to
them, and lynch law will be given them,
il is intimated. The press Of that part of
the State is taking vigorous hold OF the
subject, and the shotgun recommended as
the on y thing proper for remedy: 1t is
probable that ere long tragedy will result
GLlcss the Mormons flee the State.
These Missionaries
work separately, but once a month meet
in sec uded Places and compare notes:
They devote themselves to women, and
iOrm the acquaintance of these by casual
cal.s ct the houses, The wives of two men
have disappeared. and these. it is believed,
have been baptized and shipped away
secretly. Thursday night one OF these
tap::sms took place in Duncan's Creek,
near Hutherfordton. at which nine women
were stripped by the missionaries and then
immersed. There are vague hints OF even
more repulsive practices, which add to the
indignation. There will doubtless be an
attempt TO secure the action and aid OF the
State in the matter: but within ten days,
unless the missionaries depart, their work
will be brought to terrible ending.

"REcoNclLED CONSOLIDATION"
sherman and Foster Both in Favor OF
Foraker for Governor.


CoLUNBUs, June There is a deep un-
dercurrent to bring out John Sherman or
Gov. Foster An intimate friendship is
said to have GROVE up between these two
distinguished personages, presumably for
mutual interests. When Sherman was
here in April he spent most of
his time with Foster. The Senator
wanted Foster to run for Governor again
and the Governor wanted Sherman to take
the contract. BY this friendly tossing of
honOrs, each became an advoC ate OF the
other. but neither was inclined TO take
hold, and they have decided that
New Man should BE Brought Out.
Both have spoken of Foraker in their
interviews. who is evidently the choice OF
the "reConCiled consolidation While
many insist that Sherman must run, and
Others that Foster must take 1t,
there is good reason for saying
that both have agreed not to ac-
cept under any circumstances. There
is believ ed to be an alliance between the
two leaders, the ultimate object OF which
is to try to carry the State, and then have
solid delegation to the convention In lSS4
for Sherman for President and Foster
enter the Senate. Members Of the State
Committee are authority for. the state
ment that Sherman and Foster are and
have been pulling together. They put 1t
for the good of the party.
