PARKERsBUEG June IA few Of the
gentlemen who took part in the Greenback
Convention on Saturday, and who led the
dozen votes cast in favor of ratifying the
Buckhannon Convention, are evidently Ju-
bilant over the results of the vote when the
truth of the matter is that almost the entire
delegation had left the Court House before
the question was sprung upon the conyen-
tion and some of the votes cast for the res
olution have since admitted that they did
not understand what they were voting on.
Piersol showed gallant fight all the way
through, and he says that the masses OF the
nariy in Wood county, as we'll as through
ont the State, are with him, and from pres
ent indications the State Convention to be
held here on the 25th Of July will be a rousI
ing one and one the Republicans

Mr.. Pierso saws that the offer Of safe o;
the Standard was not maze By him unil he
was asked how much he would take (or
words to that effec1 and support the fusion
ticket. He spurRAd with contemp, such an
offer and informed the gentlemen who aP-
preached him upon the subject that ne
could not be bought, but he would sell theni
the paper at a reasonable price Further
he does not propose to support all the can
didates on the county ticket nominated
amid the stormy scenes of last Saturday 5

sat down on him, but when
the time comes the old man will come out

ocratic Nomination.
Special 10 he Register.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE situation IN
New York is about this: Three candidates
will be presented TO the Chicago Conven-
ton from that State, Governor Cleveland,
Mr.. Flower and the Hon. Charles A.
Dana, the distinguished editor of the Sun.
Mr. Dana's friends have said very little
about their intentions but is fact, never
theless, that the great editor has been urged
universally to permit his name to be
brought before the convention.
The tendency of this state of things is to
cause the Convention to go outside of the
State for its candidate, However, as Mr.
Dana is supported by no faction bat in the
interest of harmony, rather, he may, event
ually receive the active support Of New
York.
Randall Feared.

the supporters of Blaine are more apprehen-

COLUMBUS, June 1.-THE State Demo
cratic convention meets in this city June "a
and %. In addition to selecting delegates
to the national Democratic Convention it
will nominate a State ticket A curious
feature of the campaign is the fact that the
question of the State ticket is dwarted and
swallowed up in the interest in the contest
for delegates The withdrawal of Mr.. Til
den has revived the talk of Mr.. Payne. 1t

now be a candidate for the Presidency. But
whether or not he is candidate it is ap-
parent that he will endcayor to control the
convention The Payne managers claim

field certain.
The Bandanna.
OF late little has been heard OF Allen G..
Thurman for so many years one Of the most
potent factors in Ohio and even national
politics. Thurman, with one single excep-
ton, has always been a consistent old
school Democrat. The one mistake that
contributed to his retirement was his un-
lucky Hamilton speech in which for policy'S
sake, he seemed to favor the rag baby
craze. just now there is a noticeable call
for the old Roman, particularly from the
Pacific coast, although he has advocates
from all States A strong effort in his be-
half will be made BY his friends but it is
not likely to prove other than preliminary
boom.
Must BE Popular.
Scarcely Presidential ticket is named
on which Ohio does no; figure for one ofthe
two places The most popular combination
seems to be Cleveland and Bookwater.
Hoadly would be well received for either
position but is not so popular as the Spring-
field man, John Wesley Bookwaler. NJ.
Bookwalter is free from any entangiemcnts
and would call out every Democratic vote
in Ohio and thousands of Republicans would
vote for him.
a Slight Contest
There will be some strife over the honor
of representing Ohio in the Chicago Con-
venton. Gov. Hoadly would be glad to
head the delegation, but can hardly afford
to make an earnest fight for it in case there
appears to be much opposition. The Payne
managers may decide to obtain the benefit
of his position and name, but he will in no
case be chosen BY them unless they have
from him such pledges as will prevent his
working against Payne, as in 1880 at Gin
cinnati. Mr.. John R. Mclean, of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, and Mayor John Farley,
of Cleveland can reasonably be looked upon
as two of the delegates, while among the
aspirants whose chances are yet uncertain
are Gen. Ward, the Hon. George L. Con-
verse, Gen. G. 0. Morgan, and the Hon.
John McSIahon, of Dayton. One or two
colored men are working for position.

COLUNBUs o., June 1.-THE Supreme
Court announced its decision to-day in the
Scott liquor tax law cases. In that of King
vs.. Capellar, the Judgment was affirmed In
that Of Butzman vs.. Whitbeck, the judg-
ment was reversed. This declares the Sec
ond section of the law pertaining to the first
lien on premises unconstitutional, AMI
leaves the rest Of the law valid and opera
tive as heretofore The question of the con-
stitutionality of the whole law is held not to
be raised in the cases and the Court stops
with the record. The liquor dealers will
therefore be required to pay the June col
lection Of the tax under the law, leaving the
matter open to further test before the semi
annual payment in December.
