 l COLUMBUS, Aug. 19.-Nearly all of the
 delegates to the Democratic State convention
 have reached the city and the Neil House l Hobbies have assumed the familiar scenes of animation incident to all State conveptions. | Tonight the Columbus Glee club is furnish ] ing music in the Capitol grounds and the 1 Grand Opera House is receiving the finishing ! touches in the way of decorations prepara- \ tory to the assembling of the convention Governor Hoadley was expected to reach the I city to-day, but at a late hour last night his \ friends telegraphed to him to remain away ! until after the convention had assembled The statement made several days ago by Governor Hoadley that he would not be a candidate before the convention if there was slightest possibility of inducing Judge Thur man to accept nomination has an effect of drawing over to the support of the former many weak-kneed and the opposition to Hoadley now seems to be mainly among the Cincinnati delegates. These delegates, it is claimed, are disgruntled over Judge Hoad- ley's recommendations to federal offices Hon. John L. Vance, of GaIlia county, is
 credited with being the leader of formida-
 ble opposition to the 1enomination of Lieu
 tenant Governor Warwick. As Vance is friend of Hoadley's some persons charge that
 the Governor is party to a scheme to defeat
 Warwick, but this the latter pronounces all
 bosh. Some of the names that have been
 mentioned in connection with the lieutenant
 #
 Franklin, M. v. Marquis of Logan and John
 M. Patterson of Clermont county. Conyerses
 candidacy appears to be based wholly upon
 the condition that he will reach the guberna-
 torial chair through the elevation of Hoadley
 to seat on the bench of the Supreme court
 of the United States, and unless he has as-
 surances to this effect it is believed he will
 not allow the use of his name for second
 place. There are a number of candidates
 for the long term Supreme judgeships, the
 only place in which there is no present in-
 cumbent to be renominated. For the
 short term there are about five
 candidates. There is practically no contest
 for the nomination for attorney general.
 Treasurer Brady has no opposition to nomi-
 nation and it is claimed that Hon. Henry
 Weibel for member of the board of public
 works will also have 8 walk over. MT. John
 Wen, a member of the Cleveland delegation
 and prominent man in the party there, ex-
 presses the opinion that the old ticket will
 be renominated throughout. Judge George
 w. Geddes, when approached on the sub
 ject, said very emphatically: '1 have failed
 to find any opposition to Governor Hoadleys
 renomination. He will be renominated in such manner as to show that it comes from
 the heart of the Democracy" The judge added: tfIt will be the old ticket unless NIo, ,o3s Democratic platform and victory" Senator Reed of Ross, Hon. John G. Thompson, Col. Isaac Hill, Allan O. Meyers, ex-Mayor Peters and large number of others prominently with State politics say that Hoad- ley will be nominated-probably by accla- mation-and that the convention bids fair to complete it's work during the first session
 At this writing the indications are that the convention will endorse President Cleveland's administration and declare in favor of li- cense for the liquor traffic. The Evening Despatch, commenting upon the probable l liquor traffic plank, says: "The country dele l gates are opposed to the scheme of G. H. l Barger and Allan O. Myers declaring fiat footed against prohibition and will probably | defeat it." The various delegations met to- 1 night, organized and selected. members for l the several committees. 1
 The committee permanent organization 1 met tonight and decided to present the | udLucS Ot tOA-SOIiSIoSsLudu OllotU, OI OlIClH- nati, for chairman, and George Hull of AL | len county, for secretary. Congressman | Warner and ex-Congressman Hurd were 1 among those who were selected members | of the committee resolutions. It was late | when the committee got together and | Shortly before 1 o'clock General War ner, who was one of the members | of the subcommittee appointed to prepare | the platform, informed the representative | of the United Press that the resolutions were | not completed and would not be until morn
 ing; that the subcommittee had decided to | meet at o'clock to finish their work and un- til that time there would be nothing definite 1 ly determined upon. EIoped With Her Fathers Foreman.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 19-Louise Hodgson, | aged twenty years, in company with Robert l Merritt were arrested this morning on the ar | rival of the Fall River boat on telegram | from the girls father at Newport The de- l spatch simply stated that Merritt had eloped l with his daughter. Both are now locked up at police headquarters. MT. Hodgson is 8 l wealthy florist, who in the winter resides in l New York Richard Merritt, the young man, is the foreman in MT.
