A Bitter Fight In Colorado.

DENVER, Col, September S.-The Re-
publican State Convention which meets
Wednesday at Colorado Springs, will
probably be the most momentous in the
history of the party in this State. There
are four Gubernatorial candidates In the
field: Jas Moynahan, present Senator
from Park County, Lieutenant Governor
Meyer, Ex-Governor Tabor and Benjamin
H. Eaton, of Greeley. This, with the
fact that the next Legislature elects a
successor to Senator Hill, made the con-
test in the primaries and county conven-
tons exceedingly bitter.
Arapahoe and Ell Paso Counties have
contrasting delegates. The latter county
and Oak County held conventions on
Saturday, which We're characterized by
turbulence. Opinions are freely ex-
pressed that the State Convention will
split and place two Republican State
tickets In the field. National politics are
utterly ignored, and many Republicans
fear that dissensions within the party
will result in eIecting Democratic Leg
islature and Democratic SUCCESSORS to
Hill and Bedford, even If the Democrats
do not carry the State for Cleveland.

A Bad Tina to Strike.

AKRON, o., September s.-The pottery
makers have decided to quit work, with
the understanding that general strike
will be established, the owners of the
potteries having determined that all
wares hereafter shall be made full size.
Crooks and jugs have heretofore not been
made so, which has caused dissatisfac-
tion among consumers and the manufac-
turers have served notices that all wares
must be made full size. The potters
then demanded an increase in price,
which Increase has been refused. The
strike will throw several hundred men out
of employment, as it will necessarily take
In all kiln men, who will have nothing to
do II no ware Is made. Avery large
amount of ware Is on hand.

rlble confagratlon ragged In upper Cleve-
land from little after seven O'Clock last
evening until this morning The fire
started in Wood, Perry & Co.'s lumber
yard and rapidly spread westward, driven
by strong wind. Engines were sent
from Columbus, Toledo, gainesville,
Delaware, Youngstown and Akron. At
midnight the riot alarm was sounded,
calling out the fifth regiment to assist
the police. Two tiremen on the roof of
the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio
Freight Depot were overcome by heat
and rolled to the ground. Two
Columbus machines were run into the
river to avoid burning, they having been
surrounded in all other directions. At
1880 this morning the fire was got under
control. The Cleveland, Columbus, Gin
cinnatl indianapolis, and New York,
Pennsylvania & Ohio Railway embank-
ment stopped the westward progress of
the flames. The New York, Pennsyl-
wanna & Ohio freight depot and Sherwln,
Williams & Co.'s paint shops were saved
by superhuman efforts. The entire loss
will probably not exceed 1926, 900, and
pretty we'll covered by insurance. Many
acres Of glittering Goals will light up the

Horrible Death Of a Once Prosperous
New York Farmer.

NoW 4 OK c8ImoLs
CoopERsrowN, N. Y, September g.
Thos. Baird, an old farmer residing
about eight miles south of this village,
committed suicide by drowning himself
in the Cherry Valley Creek yesterday.
Baird, who in early life, was a successful
farmer and respectable citizen Of the
town of Milford OtSegol County, has OF
recent years experienceuelnancial embar.
rassment, which, with his Incorporate
habits, has reduced him to poverty. But
short time since the farm upon which
he has resided for many years was sold
under mortgage foreclosure and the old
man was lett homeless. He continued
the habit which has caused him SO much
misery and fostered feeling OF jealousy
toward the man who had succeeded him
as owner of the farm. Early yesterday
he took the poison and
RAN IN THE HOUSE,,
informing the family he would burn the
buildings on he old farm and then drown
himself. He then left the house. The
family paid no attention to what be said,
Is he had previously made similar threats,
but finally thought 1t better to fol.
low him. Upon reaching the build.
ings, which are located on the bank
Of the Susquehanna, they found them 10
flames, and Baird had fed to the river.
BY great efforts the neighbors succeeded
In saving the house, but the barns ana
outbulldlngs were destroyed. Search
was Immediately made for Baifd, and
during the afternoon It was ascsrtAined
that hs bud fully carried Into execution

JEFFERSON CRY, Mo-, September s.
The morning trains brought quite batch
of delegates to the Republican Conyen.
tion from the western part of the State.
The first man to show himself was Hon.
James T. Beach, of st. Joseph, who will
look after the interests of Hon. Nicholas
NJ. Ford in the Convention. Not enough
delegates are here yet to clearly dehue
the policy to be pursued, but, taking the
present as an indication, it may be briefly
summed up as follows;
THE CHIEF OBJECT
OF the Convention will be to devise some
means to overthrow the present Demo.
cratic dynasty, and to accomplish this
fusion will have TO be formed. The 1g-
ures upon which the Republicans rely
are taken from the vote of 1880, which
shows the vote between the various par.
ties to be: Republican, 1853, 600; Green.
back, $4,000 total, 1870, 900. The Demo-
cratic vote for the same year was 207 500,
which leaves majority of about 1900
in favor Of the Democrats. The increase
in the Republican vote is estimated at
1880, and the Greenhack at 1920,
which, added TO the vote of 1880, will
give the Republicans majority in the
State of 1900. In addition to this there
Is
AN IRISH VOTE
of 20, 900 which the Republicans expect
to secure. 1t Is not expected that Mar
maduke will receive larger vote than
Governor Crlttenden, and hence with a
combination OF all the elements and the
increase claimed, the opposition vote
Democratic vote. In order TO capture
this vote, according to the plan now pro-
posed, the Convention will iudorse the
candidacy of Hon. Nicholas NJ. Ford for
Governor, and adjourn without nominal
ing the remainder Of the State ticket,
which will be referred to committee
and the men be selected from the various
parts of the State as will best subserve
the interests of the opposition.
THE ELECTORAL TICKET
will be divided, eight going to Blaine and
eight to Butler, and, as Is now the gen
eral prevailing opinion, everything will

view Of running ticket that will unite
the discordant element who favor an
overthrow of the Democratic party. The
prohibition vote, should Brooks continue
In therace, it is claimed, will in ure the
Democrats two to one worse than the
opposition. The
ST. LOUIS DELEGATES
are expected in this evening, and the pro-
gramme may be materially changed, but
this is hardly considered possible. A
great many Federal ofiice-holders are
known to be opposed TO fusion, but
there will hardly be enough of them here
to raise respectable kick The fusion.

everything with n whoop, and ridicule
