COLUMBUS. Juno lS.-Therc will be warm time
here this week at the Democratic State Convention,
if signs arc worth anything The contest over tho
nomination for Governor has apparently narrowed
down to between George Hoadly, of Cnciinsti,
and Durbn Ward, of Lebanon. Representative
Geddes of Mansfield is stlll candidate, aud few
delegates have been instructed for HIM. but he is
generally conceded to be out of the at best
with a chance only in case Mr.. Hoadly and Mr. Ward
use each other up. General lie Fevre, Representa-
tive from the Vth Congressional District, and Gem
eral James w Denver. of Clinton Couaty. for each
of whom county has instructed, classsd in tho
dark horse list. to which one now supposes the
convention will have recourse however desperate
the struggle of faction may become. The thres
prominent candidates above Lamed have been IN
the field for two months. An estimate of the proba-
BILE strength of each before the convention was
made nearly as intelIigently month ago is pos
sble now.
RECORDS OF THE LEADING CANDIDATES.
Mr. Hoadly has identified himself for yea
back with the liquor interests. He was attorney
for the liquor-dealers when the Pond bill was be-
fore the Supreme Court last year. and won the case
for them, the Court declaring the bill uneoasttu-
tlonal. This year the Court assigned TO hm he
management of the suit brought to test the constu-
tionaty Of the Scott BILL decision which is to bs
rendered on Wednesday This connection, although
merely professional, suggested his candidacy. Hs
thought as did his friends, that the liquor issue
being prominent in the State, well as ho
could advocate on the stump the liberal side of Il,
and that if such advocacy could be prompted by
personal interest, it would be more effective thaa
otherwise. The idea a taking one especially
in the cities, which are the Democratic strougholds,
and his candidacy doomed into promineIeo from
the day on which it was announced.
General Ward took the field on his record as O
consistent, hard-working Democrat. He had dono
party service in every county for twenty five years,
heatily and with unfailing zeal. Always prompt in
response to calls for party services, and strong
stump speaker, he long ago won the affection Of
steadfast Democrats all over the State; and think
ing the time had como for recognition Of those
services and an expression Of that affection, he an-
nounced himself candidate A good deal of en-
thusiasm at once sprung up for HIM. especially
away from the large cities, aud nothing but kind
ness has been spoken of him anywhere.
The candidacy of Mr.. Gejdes is also based on con-
sstent party service. To steadfast allegiance he
joins qualities that win success. He was an ac-
csptable State Judge and has been good Repre-
sentative In Congress-so satisfactory, indeed that
last November he defeated fer Congress The man
who had drawn the Redstrctng Dill. which was
