Youthful Thief Given a Taste OF the
Lssh-A Beef Shooting
ALBANY, GA, Aug. 27.-Crazy Critten-
den was adjudged lunatie to-day, and
sent to the asylum.
VIII Jackson. alias Bill Hawk, juve-
nile eOlored shop-lIfter, who was caught

DEMOCRATIC PLANS IN OHIO.
A Better Outlook for Gov. Hoadly's Re
EIectiOn-C Campaign Issues.

A Better Outlook for Gov. HOad1y's Re
ElectiOn-ORmpaign Issues.
CLEVELAND, Aug. 27.-The result of the
Democratic State convention has not
been altogether productive of pleasure
to the Republicans. Enough has come
forth to show that the denomination of
Gov. Hoadly was in accord with the
Presidents wishes, and that If he Is the
distinctive candidate Of anybody it Is OF
the administration. Now, il the ad-
mlnistratiOn brings its POwer to bear in
Gov. Hoadly's behalf there is no telling
how 1t may affect the result. The Repub-
licans here have too long tested the aid
that can be bestowed from that direction
TO belittle it now, and their policy will be
TO provoke the use Of the official ak az
little as possible. The several hundred
changes that have been made In the State
during the last two months have had
their effect. and It wss whispered about
in the late Democratic convention that a
great many more would follow between
now and October.
Gov. Hoadly seems to feel that he Will
really carry the State, or else stimulates
that feeling in very effective manner.
His purpose is TO stump the State, to
make the best fight possible, and not al
low himself TO be worried into sickness,
rs he was two years ago. The Democrats
have completed q strong State OrganizR-
tiOn. and they seem TO be in possession OF
plenty of money. Thurman, Payne aud
other leaders intend TO take part and the
chances are really better than they were
month ago. But TO carry the State the
Democrats will have TO depend on other
lines Of aid than the prohibition move
ment. That Will have seme effect, but rot
nearly 80 much as some have anticipated.
But the Democrats are aiding that move
ment all they can, and some OF the Re-
publican newspapers are unintentionally
aiding 1t by their bitter and rather
low attacks on the Prohibition
party and temperance leaders. The
chances are that the amendment 20
the constitution closing Ohio out as an
October State will carry, and II 50 she
will hereafter vote with the rest OF the
country in November. But this year she
casts an October V %, and all the indica-
tions are that the summer and fall will be
unusually full Of political interest. The
conditions show a close vote, and both
sides are very much In earnest.

I0WA'S RABID RADICALS.
CLEVELAND AND DEMOCRACY
SEVERELY CENSURED.

"onensive Partisanship" Made the Butt
for Vigorous Vouey--The Selection
or Southerners for Diplomatic Posi-
tlons Raises "a Big HOwI-1he Nominees
of the Convention.
DEs MONIES, Iowa, Aug. 27.-The Re-
publican State convention reassembled
at O'Clock this morning. Hon. p. NJ.
sutton was elected permanent chairman,
and made speech urging the solidifca-
tion of the party. An informal ballot for
Governor was taken, resulting; Larrabee
IOS, Hull SI4, necessary 20 a choice 643.
Larrabee was declared the nominee by
acclamation. A ballot for Lieutenant
Governor resulted In the unanimous vote
for MIR. Hull. For Supreme Court Judge,
the incumbent, Judge Beck, was renomt-
mated.
THE PRoHIBTTION PLANK.
The Committee on Resolutions then re-
ported the platform. A minority report
on the temperance question, favoring
local option for counties where prohibit
tlon wasnot enforced, called out a spirited
discussion by the representatives of the
river towns and interior counties. The
roll of counties was called, and the mi
nOrity report was lost by vote of 82l to
250. The platform was then adopted
senator LaTrabee was introduced to the
convention, and he accepted the nominal
ton In brief speech. The convention
then adjourned.
THE BLOODY SHIRT.
The platform reads as follows:
The Republicans OF Iowa in state Conven-
ton assembled declare /. The Issues grow
ing out Of the war for the Union can never be
called settled until they are settled right Rv
usurping and absorbing the rights of dis
franchised colored men, the white men OF the
Southern states are eXerting double the po-
ltloal power of white men in the Northern
States. The rebel soldier in the South is thus
enabled to WELD twice the influence in the
nation that the Union soldier IN the North can
WELD. We protest against the Union soldier
having one vote and the rebel soldier having
two.
2. The menace Of this crime against the
ballot in the South Is also q menace TO free
labor IN the North. With the black man
robbed of the elective franchise. their power
TO protect themselves is gone and Southern
white men can degrade them at will into form
Of cheap labor.
CLEVELAND CENsURED.
g. The adhesion Of the Democratic party to
the doctrine OF State rights Is evidenced by
the character of the diplomatic appointments
made by President Cleveland, and we censure
his selection OF persons TO represent this gov
ernment at the courts of foreign countries
who deny the indissOlubl unity OF this nation
and who during the rebellion either fought
for It's success or justified the principle
on which IL was based and still continue
TO do so, and we declare that his conduct in
this regard is made all the more offensive by
his persistent removal of disabled Union
soldiers from government employment by
means OF the disreputable device Of 'sOffensive
PARTISAN" a scheme formulated by his Post
master General and practiced by other heads
OF departments and by the President himself,
