AN HONEST OPINION.
A New York ex-Congressman Favors
Washington for the Worlds Fair.

New Yorkers are not all so much for New
York that disinterested and honest opinion
may not be expressed once in awhile. Ex-Rep-
resentative Archie Bliss of New York was in the
city today and was not afraid to express him.
self about the proposed worlds fair.
II am for Washington" he said to a STAR
reporter. 'There is no other place as suit
able for the worlds fair as here and here it
should be held. But, tell you, you folks have
got to look out. You must be doing something
That is very strong combination in New York
and your folks have got to get to
work in earnest if you want the
fair. They are strong in New York, but they
have TO come to Congress. Now, folks who want
the fair in Washington must get to work on the
neutral congressman, who do not come from New
York. There IL no doubt that the worlds fair
ought to be here. It should be timed 30 as to
be during September, October and November
that is the most beautiful time of year here. I
am with you because this is the proper place"

men were found. all in the same position. Tbey

MIR. COX'S BEAR STORY,
The New York Representative Meets q
Grizzly In Yellowstone Park.

"In the Yellowstone park" said Represents
tive Cox to STAR reporter, "the prophecy Of
the Bible about the lion and the lamb lying
together is paralelled, il not fulfilled. II the
lion and the lamb don't lie together at least
tho bear and the swine sup together, and all
the animal kingdom and man are on fairly
friendly terms. The hunted beasts outside the
border of the reservation seek its security, and
when they feel the protection Of the govern
ment thrown around them cease their head
long speed and breathe in the fresh air Of
freedom. I can't tell how they know it; they
can't read the posters that are struck up about
warning hunters, but they somehow realize
that the arm OF the government is thrown
around them when they get into the national
park.
THE GRIZZLY AND THE PIGS
'When Mrs. Cox and were at an inn, or
stopping place for visitors In the park they told
us of big bear that came down every evening
just before sunset to eat the swill that was
thrown out to the hogs. The hog pen was
about mile back OF the house in the woods,
and this bear would come down every day to
eat the swill and would 60 away content with
out eating any OF the hogs or little pigs. As he
did not leave much food for them, perhaps
they never got fat enough for his taste. While
we were at dinner they told US that the girl
in the path near the pen. She was carrying a
basket OF clothes from wash. She had the
clothes on her head. She said she was not
afraid, but suppose she was a modest girl, for
she dropped her clothes and ran. Mrs. Cox and
| had suspicion that they were fooling us,
but If there was bear we wanted to see it.
IN QUEST OF BRuIN.
"'What time does it come down? asked.
".About O'clock they replied. The sun
doesn't 60 down until after o'clock. So my
wife and / went out by the hog pen to see the
bear. Sure enough we met him in the woods
great big fellow. He gave side glance at US
and shuffled off as if he were about to run away.
We were about twenty yards from him and
quickened our pace to advance on him. He
suddenly changed his mind about running and
we changed our minds also. He turned toward
US and growled. ! remarked to Mrs. Cox that
as she was getting fat and could not walk as
fast as formerly it would be just we'll if she
turn back toward the hotel Then I modestly
followed. She could walk faster than thought

CAMPBELL OR NEAL?
Which Will Be Nominated for Governor
by the Ohio Democrats?

Special Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
COLUMBUS, ONO, Aug. 12-Great interest in
the democratic state convention. which will be
held at Dayton on the 26th and 9th Of the
present month, is manifested by both demo-
Gratis and republicans. While it is generally
conceded that ex-Congressman Campbell is in
the lead, it is admitted by his friends that he
will have pretty stiff fight on his hands He
has the party machinery at bis back, and
that means not q little in an Ohio con-
vention. Hon. Lawrence T. Neal is Mr.. Camp
bells chief competitor for the honor,
and if Mr.. Cleveland was now President Mr..
Campbell would stand no show whatever, as
Neal is tariff reformer without reserve and
not far removed from full sympathy with the
most ultra free traders. While Mr.. Campbell has,
to all appearances, a majority of the delegates,
those in sympathy with Mr.. Neal. and who urge
his nomination, are the Thurmans, Congress-
man Outhwaite, Gen. Powell and others. The
friends Of Mr.. Powell are against Campbell be-
cause Of his luke warmness in the struggle two
years ago when Powell was the gubernatorial
candidate. The Thurman influence will be
worked for all that it is worth to make the
platform emphatically tariff reform in its bear
ing. Their main object is, to all appearances, to
force Mr.. Campbell, who voted for the Mills bill
under protest, to accept the gubernatorial NOM
ination upon a platform in which the main
features Of the Mills bill win stand out most
prominent.
MANY OF THE PROTECTION DEMOCRATS
express the opinion that it would be suicidal
for Mr.. Campbell to enter campaign under
such circumstances, but holding the views that
he does Mr.. Neal would poll a larger vote in
the event that the convention indorses the tariff
reform views adopted by the st. Louis conveu-
ton, which Mr.. Neal had hand in preparing.
Ex-Congressman Converse expresses the opin-
ion that Mr.. Campbell has made a mistake in
his Irritation with the free trade wing of the
party, - 1t would place him in q false light be-
fore the people during the campaign. He be-
lieves that Mr.. Campbell would appear i'm bet
ter form had he held to the views he had 40
often expressed in favor Of . protective tariff.
and II these were not satisfactory to the ma
jority Of the delegates the convention vouId be
free to nominate Mr.. Neal or any other candi-
date that would be in full sympathy With their
views.
"Mr. Campbell" I" he says, .scannot hone 70
receive the full and hearty support OF his party
upon tarf6 reform or free trade platform.
neither can Mr.. Neal upon protective plat.
form. To make successful contest the cendi-
date must be In full sympathy With the voice Of
the convention-to be otherwise win prove en-
barrassing. Everybody knows my views, how
ever, and II + not necessary 70 repeat them.
bul VIII say that IN my Judgment no man can
be elected governor Of Ohio who \ not . pro-
tsctionist and stands squweiy upon that iaGus."

Complaints Against Railroads.

The Pennsylvania railroad company, operat-
ing the Jeffersonville, Madison and Indianap-
oils railroad company has filed a complaint with
the interstate commerce commission against
the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago rail-
way company. The complainant alleges that
the latter company in the sale of thousand
mile tickets between Louisville, Ky., and Chi
cago, ILL.,, does rot hold the purchases to the
conditions OF sale printed on the ticket, such
as requiring the purchaser to indorse his own
name on the ticket, and properly identify HIM
self when he presents the ticket to the conduc-
tors for use, and that thereby these tickets fall
into the hands OF ticket brokers or scalpers,
causing unjust discrimination against passen-
gers who have not purchased thousand-mile
tickets, but have paid regular fares.
A complaint has also been fled by the Chi
cago, st. Louis and Pittsburg railroad COM
pany against the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chi
cago and st. Louis railroad company. The
charges involved are of the same nature as
those in the above complaint, but relate to
traffic between Chicago and st. Louis.
