about 200 guests. The clans gathered
at Columbus Saturday afternoon and
ellled in body on Judge Thur
man, and at $50 started West
ward in ten Pullman sleepers.
Everything that could be done for the
comfort of the inner man was attended
to, and at 0 o'clock this morning the
delegates, sporting badges and pocket
full of bandanas, marched to their head
quarters at the Lindell hotel. The
party was enthusiastic for Thurman
and cried down all opposition. Still
there were many who looked upon the
nomination of the ''Old Roman" with
an evil eye, and began to count noses
among the voting delegates, and they
declared that Judge Thurman did not
have the state solid by long sight, and
doubted his friends ability to unite it.
Several opponents of Senator Thurman
declared that there were but four
teen delegates pronounced for Thur
man. Several had pledged their votes
to Gray, Stevenson and Black, and
would not change. &. w. Baker, dele
gate at large from Cincinnati, was not
enthusiastic for Thurman. He said:
"Ohio is in no position to urge any NOM
ination with the feeling that now exists
among the delegation and throughout
the country. There is some bitter fight
ing going on both in and out of the
state. There are twelve of the Ohio
delegates besides the four from Hamil-
ton county who are pledged to other
candidates, besides the four delegates
at large, who have as yet given no in
dlcatlon of their opinion, except perhaps
Gen. Powell. However. if Thurman
is acceptable to the balance of the
country, the Ohio delegation will prob
ably give him their support. The de-
mand must come from outside the state.
L know of six delegates fran Ohio who
are pledged to Gray; six to Black. and
some to Stevenson. [ know of none for
Morrison. The convention" said Mr..
Baker, twill probably complete its
work by Wednesday night. The organ
lZatlOn will be completed the first day
and the committee on resolutions will
report the platform at the opening Of
the second day, land they will be readily
adopted and the nominations will follow
in short order.
''Ohio rather favors Gov. White, of
California" said Mr. Baker, land so far
as have heard there is no opposition.
There seems to be general under
standing that Col. Collins, of Massachu-
sets. will be the permanent chairman.
Mr.. Watterson, of Louisville, was
spoken of and will be cOmplimented

DESTROYS of making a contest for the
place it will go to Mr.. Collins. If vote
is taken on the matter Mr.. WattersOn
will receive most of the support of the
Ohio delegations
The Ohio delegation will meet to-
morrow and organize. The plan agreed
upon is to prevent the name of eX-Gov.
Richard M. Bishop as vice president of
the convention. Mr.. Thomas Powell
will be made chairman of the
delegation, and Calvin S. Brice will be
selected as a member of the national
committee. John j. Brady, one of the
delegates from Cincinnati, represents
the element rabidly opposed to Thur
man, and significantly remarked to a
gentleman who announced that the old
Roman would be nominated by acclama-
ton: The nomination has not been
made yet. 1t takes a twO-thirds vote to
nominate i'll this convention" He was
sure the delegation was not solid for
Thurman. He was not and knew of
others Of the same views, yet if the
pressure from the outside was so
strong they might feel obliged to
tween Mr.. Wells, of Wisconsin, and an
Ohio Thurman man, the gentleman of
the Northwest rather strongly intimated
that Wisconsin was not ardently in
favor of Thurman. This thing must
not be determined by sentiment" said
he. 1T seems proper that New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut should
name the tail of the ticket, as those are
the states that must elect. If they come
out strong for Thurman. then the rest
will quickly fall in line"
The name of Senator Thurman will
be presented to the convention by
California man, probably by Gov.
White, but he may forego that honor in
consequence of his election to the
temporary craftsmanship. In that case,
Hon. NJ. f. Tarpey will be selected for
the nominating speech.
