governoa Of Ohio. Contest will be
short and decisive, and be concluded
with the first ballot.
Governor Campbell will receive
far more than enough votes to nomi-
nate, but the anti-Cmnpbell dele
gates insist they will go on record IN
opposition, in order to prevent
unanimous nominatlo n. There
have been many wordy warfares In
hotel Hobbies between the Campbell
delegates aud their demonstratiyo
opponents. All these disputes are
deprecated by both Campbell and
Neal, but their III effect is none the
less felt IN the party ranks. While
an angry wrangle was in progress
this evening in front Of the Plain
dealer Office, between Peter Nolan,
Campbell man and an amateur
prize fighter, and VIM. and james
Patterson, delegates, all understood
to be from Cincinnati, the ''lie" was
passed, and In an instant revolvers
we're drawn, fusillade followed, in
which four or five shots were fired
with mild results. An innocent by
stander received one bullet, after
which the weapons were used as
clubs with more appreciable effect
Oh the contestants. They all re-
ceived numerous gashes over the
head, and were bleeding profusely
when arrested.
The governor reached the city this
afternoon.
"rhere is no doubt Of my nomina-
tion on the first ballot" said he, last
evening. ut is a simple question of
addition, as already have assurances
from far more than enough dele
gates TO insure my nomination. /
think the result, whatever 1t may
be, will be accepted philosophically
by all my worthy competitors, and
that the democracy Of the state will
present an unbroken front to the
enemy this fall"

meeting OF anti-Campbell delegates
