Ohio Democratic Platform.

COLUMBUS, June 26-The Demo.
cratic State Convention was called to
order at the opera house at 1890 this
morning with a meager attendance.
f. B. Finley was elected chairman.
He spoke at length of the importance
of the campaign, predicting that the
Democrats would carry Ohio in Oc>
toher and reviewed the history o the
party in the country. A platform
was adoped which reaffirms the plat
form of 1883. md embodies the views
of the party on the tariff and wool
in the following language: We fa-
yor the tariff for revenue, limited to
necessities Of the government, ecOh-
omlcaIly administered and so ad.
iusted in its application as to prevent
unequal burdens. Encourage the
productive industries at home, afford
Just compensation to labor, but not
to create or foster mnnopolies.
The just demands of wool
growers of Ohio. and the country
for an equitable adjustment of tue
duties on wool so that this industry
shall be fully and equally favored
with other interests, ought to be
complied with and we endorse the
action of the Democratic members of
Ohio in their efforts to accomplish
this result. The platform declares
for civil service reform. The radical
free trade amendment to the plat.
form by Russell, of Cleveland, was
voted down overwhelmingly. Con-
gresham Converse offered the follow
lug which was adopted with great en-
thusiasm and no dissenting voice:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this convention that s. }. Tilden,
who was once legally and fairly
eIected President of the United
States, but was deirauded of his Of
flee, should receive the unanimous
nomination at the hands of the DEM
Ocratic convention which meets In
Chicago July 8th.
COLUMBUS, O., June 2'.-The state
democratic convention, which assem-.
bled to-day, was the smallest in point
of numbers that has been held in
years.
The platform declares for tariff to
protect wool and tariff for necessary
revenue and to protect the laboring
interests, but the monopoly free trade
plank was defeated.

U. $. Consul on Cholera.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-- Secretary
Frellnghuysen received tonight the
following telegram from Frank A.
Mason, United States consul at Mar
seilles.
With regard to the recent outbreak
of cholera at Toulon. I have learned
the following facts: It was kept ST.
cret until yesterday that there was
anv cases of cholera there. On the
14th there was one death; on the 10Th
one, on.the Goth two, on the 2lst three,
on the 22d thirteen, on the 2Si five.
Yesterday there were twelve cases of
a mild character reported. There has
been only one death at the navy hos
pital. The deaths are equally divided
between civilians and the military,
and are chiefly among the aged and
very young. The question as to it
being Asiatic or sporadic cholera is
still undecided, but the former is
probable. There are hopes of check
ink the epidemic by sanitary precau~
tions. The condition of Marseilles is
excellent ard the death rate below
the average.

ment. Coal Bluff is a little mining

SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.--Alber-
tine Anderson was shot dead this
morning by VIM. G.. Million, who
then blew his own brains out. The
cause of the shooting was her refusal
to marry him. In a letter left by
Million he says Miss A. derson was
known as Mrs. Backmann, having
one child by Mr.. Backmann, the
Danish consulate at New York. Mil
lon was a widower and left three
young children contided to the care
of the Danish consul in this city.
Death in both cases was almost in
stantaneOus.

and family, were among the arrivals

A DUDES REQUEST.
And How Bob Foster Filled the
Bill.

Soon after the Bijou Company had concluded
its performance at the Opera House last night,
| one of the members Of the company went into
Newkirks sample rooms and asked Bob Foster,
who happened to be presiding at the de-board,
to fix him up couple of glasses of "tucalora!'
"What in hi is tucalora?' questioned the
bluff but ever accommodating Bob.
"Aw. I forgot 1 was out in these Western
wilds. I'll explain. Tucalora, my deah sab, is,
little sugah, little gin, little watah little
lemon and little ice mixed up in large tunl-
blahs. Please, sab, fix 'em up"
"You want two, do you? Owinell can you
throw yourself around two tumblers' full OF
such slush?".
cav, fosapt. They arc to go UP stairs in the
Centennial. One of.them is for my pawdner
and the other for mes4lf"
"WhOinell is goinSto take them up:' asked
Bob.
Jaw, I'll take them up myself, sab, as soon as
they are ready"
Bob lost no time in filling the orders. He
took down the glasses, put in the sugar and ice,
added liberal quantity of gin and more lib
eral allowance of water. AL the while the
anxious and thirsty dude was leaning over the
counter eyeing the whole operation with crit
cal eve.
Haven't you some squeezed lemon to put in
it?' inquired the waiting swell.
"Squeezed lemon be d--d. No, but can
squeeze lemon in it," retorted the now i1ate
Bob. I'VE don't carry squeezed lemons around
in our vest pocketsi In this country"
CAV, is that so: Then squeeze lemon in each
glass;"
ing one half in the lemon squeezer, held it over
the glass. The dude. fearful lest Bob should
cheat him of a single drop, leaned over the
counter until his face was directly over the
squeezer. Just at that moment BoD's attention
was called to something goiug on in the adjoin
ing parlor, and turning around, he inadver-
tently turned the squeezer toward the face Of
the dude, who received the full charge of juice
directly in his eyes. With howl and a bound
that could be heard a block away, the dude
danced around the room like blind Orpheus
N search of his lost Eurydice, at the same time
giving ventto language that would have shamed
Pluto and put to flight all the timid
goddesses known to the anclents. But
lemon Juice, like some kinds of
grief, can be washed away with tears, and the
eyes of the stage god soon cleared. Taking up
the glasses he went to his rooms, first informing
Bob, however, that he would take his "tuco-
lotah" without lemon. The roars of laughter
which followed his exit indicated that few
others besides Bob enjoyed the fun.

Blaine i'm Lewiston.

LEWISTON, Maine. June 25.-
Blaine arrived in Lewiston this
evening and received an ovation
from the crowd assembled at tho
railway station. He at once drove to
the residence of Colonel Drew. whose
guest he is during his stay here. Ar
yer dinner procession composed of
local military organizations and the
reception committee in carriages
went to Col. Drew's residence where
they received Blaine and escorted
him to the hail, which was densely
packed. When Blaine stepped on to
the platform he was greeted with
tumuituous cheers. A. r. Savage,
on behalf of the committee on arr
rangements, delivered brief ad-
dress OF welcome. MIR. Blaine replied
as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and Ladies and
Gentlemen Of the Cities Of Lewis
ton and Auburn:-l am deeply
moved by the cordially of your re-
ception. 1t Is very great addition
to the compliment of your reception
that 1t is outside and beyond the line
of party division, and that
simply as old friends and fellow
citizens of the same state wich l am
proud to claim as my home. In the
last thirty years that 1 have be n
in public station and in public life
l have known and appreciated your
city and citizens and have co-oper~
ated with them in many ways for the
benefit of our joint constituents. I
attended public meeting IN Lewis
ton thirty-tw0 years ago. Then it
was small village. When I see the
superb city which now welcomes me
and meet this vast assemblege of your
people, I am more than ever i'm
pressed with the energy, character
and magnificent enterprise Of the
American people, Republicans and
Democrats alike. Great applause J
And 1 can say with pride, quoting
almost literally the language of JEFF
ferson, that upon such occasions as
this we are all Democrats and
all Republicans, Loud applause.
I cannot close without again thank
ing you most profoundly ladies and
gentlemen for the cordially with
which you have greeted me, and
wiahing to each and all of your
beautiful cities continuation of that
abundant prosperity in the future
which you have enjoyed so richly IN
the past. [Applause.] At the
conclusion of his remarks Blaine
held an informal recep ion and many
embraced the opportunity to take
him by the hand. Tomorrow Blaine
will attend the exercises at Bates
College.

Editors Disappointed.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 2. Austin
Ii. Bro wn. of this city, chairman of
the press committee of the Demo-
cratic National Convention, has al.
ready received and registered several
hundred applications for press privi-
leges. Those from daily papers alone
equal double the space allotted for
special reporting. Many who ex-
pect desk privileges must be disap-
pointed, and will have to be satisfied
with seats in the auditorium. Brown
reports at the meeting of the sub
committee held in Chicago last week
that it was decided no clubs or asso.
citation be admitted as such, and
members of such organizations must
look to delegates tor tickets.

assisted by his wife, one of the most accom-
plished rianists in the country, will give an en-
tertainment at Renshaw Opera House next

Tammamy Preference.

NEW YORK, June 25.-John Kelly
made the following statement in re-
gard to the Presidential nominee:
am opposed to Governor Cleveland,
but only because I believe there are
other men better fitted to receive the
nomination. l have been brought
into contact with many people, both
Republicans and Democrats through
out the city and all express the wish
that Bayard should receive the nom
ination. 1 hope so myself, and be-
lieve that if nominated he will be
elected. The opposition t" Bayard,
because of his so>called record, is alb
sufd. In fact, think this "bloody
shirt" business is played out.

The c. p. r.. RS. Cramped Condition.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.- The
Bulletin publishes the following this
evening: It is semi-officially an.
bounced that the Central Pacific rail.
road company will postpone for a
time the salaries due employees this
month in order to accumulate funds
to meet more pressing demands in
the nature of current expenses. The
present cramped condition of the
company arises from the falling of
of traffic and consequent decrease OF
profits caused by disasters, especially
to the Southern Pacific and its
branches. Timothy Hopkins, the
treasurer, is the only prominent of.
icial at present in the city. He de-
clined to make any statement. Gen.
eral Manager TOwne is visiting in
Monterey and was telegraphed to on
the subject and replied: There is
but little foundation in fact for the
statement that the company Will post
p0ne the payment of salaries Of en-
ployees. It is probable, however, that
the pay car may not be sent out over
the entire system until after the first
prOximO. The earnings hold up re-
markably well and the operating ex-
penses compare favorably with those
of last year.
Charles Crocker, president of the
Southern Pacific and second vices
president of the Central Poetic is
attending a Cotton trial at Santa
Rosa and being interviewed, said
the Bulletins statement was quite
true. He had asked of the employees
thirty days credit, and said: have
heard no grumbling. This is the first
time such deferment has occurred.
We have some pressing demands to
meet, and money is 50 tight it is like
drawing teeth to get any. We can't
get more than 25 cents on South Pa
cltic bonds. l am trying hard to
borrow some money, and think l
shall be able to get it. But all money
bags in the country just now are
drawn very tight. Mr.. Crocker, in
a telegram to the Associated Press,
says the report in the Bulletin IS sub
stantially true, although we have not
fully determined upon the matter.
Should the money market cease we
will pay as usual.
