PREPARING FOR THE STRIFE.

Buckeye Democrats Gathering at
Dayton to Nominate State
Ticket.
DAYTON. o.. Aug. 27.-Dayton is not
crowded yet and there is disappoint-
ment at the scarcity of visitors. AS it is
the majority of the delegates will come
tomorrow morning and leave in the
evening. 1t is thought by some that
there was method in forcing all the
work OF the convention into one day,
the plan being to propose state ticket
and rush it through. The Complexities
are unquestionably endea voring to make
dicker with Virgil Kline, evidences of
which multiply every hour. Mike
Mullen. of Cincinnati, says the
candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor will probably be Kline, and
Mullen is in sympathy with the Camp
bell men. Notwithstanding the reports
that he intends to lead a bolt to Neal.
The Neal men say that Kline will not
accept a nomination for second place.
If the Kline m IN REFUSE to make an ar
rangement with the Complexities, it is
likely that Hubbard will be nominated
for lieutenant governor in case the con-
vention dominates Campbell. There
have been covertly distributed circulars
which denounce Campbell for being out
of line with his party. One which is
flying about the Phillips house, Camp
BELLS headquarters, contains this:
No Democrat has anything against Mr.
Campbell except his opposition to the cardi-
nall principles of the Democratic party his
opposition to Cleveland and his refusing to
take the stump for Mr.. Powell.
Cards bearing cuts of the Democratic
nd q tsCo m nINo1l will
hump things" are appearing in hun
dredS of hat bands. Unnumbered
badges have appeared on coat lapels.
and the multifarious little schemes to
stir up enthusiasm are coming to the
front. 1t is notable fact that every
member of the legislature who has come
to tOwn-and there are dozen or two
here's for Campbell. The Neal men
are at work and have already changed
the complexion of several delegations.
So have the Complexities, however.
One of the circulars put out by the Neal
men was suppressed by order of Neal
when not half hundred had been dis
tributed. 1t arraigned Campbell for his
tariff record. 1t looks at this mo-
ment as
THIS MIGHT BE THE TICKET:
Governor, Campbell; lieutenant gov
ernor, Kline; treasurer, BOden; SUI
preme judge, Cruchfield or Toilet;
board of public works, Howard; school
commissioner, Miller; attorney general,
Lewis. The Campbell men are offering
to bet 500 to SIS that their candidate
will be nominated on the first ballot.
There are no takers so far as known.
AT this hours p. m.-the streets have
the appearance of a field of shifting
troops-plug hats, canes, bouquets and
badges taking the place of the more
stern symbols of soldiery. At this mo-
ment magnificent body of uniformed
men, 600 rank and file, are march
ing to the rendezvous for south
ern Ohio, and they are greeted
as they go along by fellow Democrats
from Northern and Central Ohio. 1t is
memorable gathering for the Demo-
Gratis, and they all know it, and so do
the bands, the horses, officers and all.
These splendid columns are forming
now, and must march through streets
packed full of people, who cheer and
cheer again as the boys go by and vie
with the bands in keeping up the din
1t will be dark before the parade is
ended. Then comes the fire depart
ment, races down Main street, a mile
through all this swerving crowd. An
illumination of the city by natural gas
tonight will wind up the noisy welcome
of the clubs. Then delegates to the
convention will begin the more formal
business of holding district meetings
for selection of committeeman for the
convention.
The races by the fire department on
Main street tonight were exciting in
the extreme, and were witnessed by
fully 10000 people. District meetings
were held, and vice presidents, commit
teemen, ETC.. were elected withO 1t much
controversy. The streets are made as
light as day by the natural gas, and the
feature of the night has been the visit
ing between delegations with their
bands of music and singing jubilant
crowds. A great crowd gathered
around the hotels, and the prominent
speakers being called out, the people
have been entertained that way, and
now. at midnight, this programme still
continues. Hon. James E. Campbell
addressed the crowd briefly, and Neal
and Kline, taking advantage of that
fact, lined out policy against the tar
iff that the party, in their opinion, must
take, and their speeches have created
sensation, the result being Of great ad-
vantage to MI. Neal.
