OHIO POLITICS.
The Farmers TO Take Active Interest In
The Campaign.

WASHINGTON, May 27s-A Columbus,
Ohio, special to the Star says: The express
sions of many of the delegates show that
the farmers will make their strong fight
against Mckinley for Governor and against
the return of John Sherman to the United
States Senate. S. ii. Ellis, State Master OF
the Grange, who is also the President of the
Farmers Union, said: " do not think there
is any show for Sherman's reelection to the
Senate. no matter what may be the action
of the farmers at this convention. As for
myself / will vote for no candidate for the
Legislature who will not pledge himself to
oppose Sherman's return to the Senate.
Even should no third party be decided upon
by the farmers they will be sufficiently
strong in the next Ohio Legislature to rem
der impossible the election OF any Senator
so antagonStic to their interests as John
Sherman" As as an earnest OF good latin,
the movers of the third party intend to try
to beat Major Mckinley in his canvass Tor
the Govegnorship of Ohio. While 1t Is a
thing yet to be accomplished 1t is regarded
as a certainty by the Relormers, Farmers
Alliance and others that full State ticket
will be nominated by the third party.
Hon. Jerry Simpson, who is a pronounced
free-t trader, has been assigned to campaign
work in Ohio, and programme has been
laid out for him. There is no other CAM
paign to particularly demand his attention,
aud he will devote considerable time to edu-
eating the farmers Of the Buckeye State
He will probably go into the State first in
June, and Will make another stumping tour
when the campaign grows hotter, near the
time for election. There is practically but
one opinion in Alliance circles now on the
third party movement, AMI it is claimed by
those who are in CORES pondence with all
sections, that there is a misunderstanding as
to the state OF affairs in the South They say
that the ling the ere Is very earnest among
these who are already converts, but IN the
interests of the growth and fiual strength OF
the movement they 90 not want TO ak third
party so long before it is possible for any
thing to be accomplished The Alliance
wants the movement TO be forced by pOpu-
lar sentiment and not nurSed into activity
by se-called leaders. An Alliance worker
yentured the assertion to-day, based. he
said, upon Information gathered through
extensive correspondence, that if the Demo
eratS nominated Cleveland, not more than
three of the Southern States would 90 DEM
ocratic, but that the third party would carry
things their own way. The strength of the
third party movement, he said, was thus de-
pendent largely on the action of the old par
ties, but that 1t would not be started if 1t
was not thought that they coEld succeed.
CAVALRY IN THE YOSEMITE.
Captain A. E. Wood, In command Of the
troops of the Fourth Cavalry, has reported
to the War and Interior departments that

senite Park Reservation aud is ready to
obey instructions relating TO the park reser-
walton. He states that the cattlemen-some
OF them, at least-are very indignant over
the fact that troops have been stationed
there. He asks for a number of copies Of
the act setting apart the reservation for
park. as he desires 10 dstributs them among
the cattlemen.
