COLUMBUS, O., August 2O.-There was a de-
cided feeling of anger manifested at late hour
last night by members of the state central
committee over the distribution of tickets to
the state democratic convention, which is
being held In the Grand Opera House. Allen
y. Myers, who had assumed charge OF securing
the house for the gathering, also issued the
tickets of admission. Myers was roundly de-
nounced by the committee who after express
ing in warm terms their opinion of his conduct,
appointed committee to endeavOr to secure
more commodious quarters, and to refuse to
accept Myers tickets to the convention. The
committee, however. failed to get other quar-
tiers. and the effort failed. Myers states that
he had ], 500 tickets printed, and had given to
the delegates themselves one extra ticket, in
stead of handing them over to the state COM
mittee for distribution. 1t is claimed, how
| ever, that Myers had 1900 tickets printed.
