THE TRIANGULAR FIGHT IN OHIO.
A Third State Ticket to Enter tho Field
Today.

A Third State Ticket to Enter the Field |
Today.
SPRINGFIELD. o., Aug. 5.--When |
the Peoples Party convention was called |
to order today by Hon. II. II. Barnes,
at least $50 delegates occupied seats in |
the beautifully decorated hall. A more |
orderly and intelli. ent convention Is
seldom seen. Many ladies were on the
floor of the hall and several of them oc-
cupied seats on the stage. The proceed
ings were opened with prayer by Joshua
Crawford, and Chairman Barnes then
read letters of encouragement from Sen
ator Petler and Hon. II. Gathers, men,
ber of the national committee of Ala
bama.
Hugh Cavanaugh, of Cincinnati, was
introduced as temporary chairman, and
when he advanced to the front of the
stage he was greeted with hearty ap-
plausc. Cavanaugh said this was the
most important convention held by any
party for many year. 1t is composed
OF men who have no axes to grind. We
propose, said he, to serve potice on dom
mating parties that they have served
out their time. We differ from both the
held this year, notably from the one in
Columbus, in that we have not 30 many
senatorial candidates In the field. We
are here to represent principle which
must in the end preyail. Politicians
have been saying, ''You till the soil and
we will attend to politics."
Cayanaugh said that John Sherman,
like Ingalls,, would be relegatcd to pri-
vate lille. "lf the Mansfield iceburg
fully understood his position he would
say, with Woolsey: Had | but served
the people with half the strength L have
served Wall street, il would not now
leave me in my old ago." II. b.
Hutchinson was selected as temporary
secretary. Various committees retired,
and pending their return to report Rob-
ert Schill!ng addressed the convention.
After receiving reports from committees,
the convention adjourned until to-mor-
row.
The committee on resolutions has
been wrestling with platform since 3
p. m, and at 10 p. IN. adjourned until
tomorrow morning without having
reached a conclusion. The sticking
points are the prohibition, land tax and
farm product loan features. The city
districts insist that prohibition plank
would cost the party thousands of votes,
and they will fight it to the bitter end.
Regarding ticket, everything is chaos.
There are dozen candidates, and their
respective advocates are not sanguine.
There is beneath the surface consldera.
BILE feeling between the Federation of
Labor men and the Knights of Labor,
which causes the farmer element to sus
pcct both.

AFTER THE FIGHT,
The Mayor Fines hessrs Gonzales md
Gibbes Fofy Dollars Each.

COLUMBIA, S. g., Aug. 5.-The ex-
element over the Tiyhe Gonzales en-
counter has about subsidized and things
IN newspaperdom have returned to their
normal condition. Yesterday morning
some interest attached to the proceed
lngs before the mayor, and when the
cases against Messrs Gonzales. Glbbes
and TiShe were called the little Court
room IN which his Honor dispenses
municipal justice was crowde d to its full
| lest capacity.
BY request Of Mr.. Gonzales, who
desired TO leave the city yesterday morn q.
ing for Glenn Springs, the cas- against
him was first disposed of. He made a
brief statement. saying that he had re-
celycd an insulting letter from Mr.. Tlghn
and went over to his office and struck
him. He pleaded guilty to the assault
and mayor imposed Il fine of $40, which
was promptly paid, and Mr.. Gonzales
immediately left the Court room.
MIR. I'ige's case was then called, and
Sheeill' Rowan was sworn and testified
substantially to the facts as contained in
the Registers account ofth affair so far
as related to the encounter between
Mcssrs Gonzales and Tighe, but went
more into detail in regard to MIR.
Gibbcs's connection with the matter, the
gist Of il being that Mr.. Glbbes was
there as the friend Of Mr. Gonzales to
see fair ply, but making Ao hostile de-
monstratlon except passage Of words
between himself, Mr.. Tighe and Mr..
w. {. Cathcar.
Messrs George IL. Wright and w. G..
Cathcart were also examined, eliciting
no new tacts connected with the main
Issue, the evidence of Mr.. Cathcart bear
my more particularly on the words that
passed between Mr.. Gibbes and himself
III relation to his carrying the note to
MIR. Gonzales. A colloquy then onsued
between the Mayor and Mr.. Gibbcs as
to wherein the latter had committed any
breach OF the peace. and the mayor said
IN substance that he could conceive of
no greater attempt TO bring about row
and thereby cause what might have been
bloody allray, than for two stalwart
men, one armed with stick and the
other with Il cowhidc, to 90 down the
street together with the deliberate pur-
pose ot making and attack on another
and smaller man. Glbbes replied that
he did no: carry the stick to assault any,
one with, and had no intention CT doing
anything more than preventing outside
interference.
The mayor held that the action of Mr..
G!bbcs was essentially breach of the
peace, and so viewing the matter, I'M
posed fine Of $40, which Mr.. Gibbes
paid under notice of appeal.
The case against Mr.. Tighe was dis
missed, and this ended the proceedings
IN the Maory's Court.

Sensational Suicide OF Drummer in .Au-
gusta.
AUGUSTA, Aug. 5.-Mr Pope Crouch
drummer travelling for J. l.. Fried
man IL Co., OF Paducah. il vinegar and
wine house, committed suicide at the
Planters Hotel last night by taking a
drachm of morphine. The dead man
was not discovered until o'clock this
| afternoon, when the chambermaid
went to clean his room. Mr.. Crouch
was lying on the bed in his under
clothes. His face was blue, his limbs
rigid ana his body cold, indicating that
ne had been dead several hours. On
his bureau was found an empty vial
labelled morphene. together with two
letters addressed one to his wife. Mrs.
L. N. Crouch, at Johnston, S. G., which
was his home and where he lived, and
the other ",ro my dear drummer
friends"
The note to the drummers was open
ed and read. 1t was an appeal to The
drummerS to look after his family, and
saying severe trouble caused him to
end his life.
AT the coroner's inquest this after.
noon MS letter to his wife was opened.
III gave the cause of his rash act
gambling.
lie said that since he left Johnston
last saturday he had drawn from his
house $500, and had lost 1t in the gamb-
ling hellS Of Augusta. He said that
last month he had lost 500 in this CITY,
and II he could have gotten out Of this
trouble he would have reformed, but
ne could see no way out Of it other
than III death. He advised his wife to
consult lawyer and make the winners
or his money give it up to her, which
ne said, she could do. In conclusion he
hoped his sad ending would be lesson
to all young men not to touch card,
and he lmplored Gods blessing upon
his wife and child.

morning, when he went to the hotel to
go to bed. lie arrived here last Satur-
day night. His remains were carried
TO Johnston, ). c., to night for burial.
Crouch's exposure of the gambling
houses in Augusta has created no little
sensation here tonight, though it is
not thought that the gamblers can be
prosecuted on the strength of the let.
ter, and 1t Is said that the coroner had
no right to open a private letter which
was addressed to Crouch's wife.-NeWs

SENSIBLE ADVICE.

The following extract is taken
from an interesting interview with
Rev. J. B. GAMBRELL on the polit-
ical situation in Mississippi:
The people are thinking. The farmers
are not going to go into any ruinoua
schemes when informed. The common
sense is with the common people. Let
the discussions go on in the right spirit
and we will reach the proper results.
But | desire to say that any abuse of the
farmers will do harm and no good. They
are the reserve of politics, and if they are
not misled by political tricksters, they
will help the country. There is one thing
l would do il were an Alliance man, and
that is find out who the old professional
politicians are in the order, and ] would
see to itthat they did not become leaders.
Ii is just this kind OF leadership that will
ditch the movement if il is followed.

after SENATOR QUAY.

The Republicans of Pennsylva-
MIA are after Boss Quay. An adj
dress to the people Of that State,
issued by influential business men
of Philadelphia, points out the
wretched influence of QUAY's meth
ods upon public affairs in Penn
sylvania, and calls attention to his
corrupting influences. He is held
responsible for the disasters which
overwhelmed the party last year,
and the address calls upon the
party to do its duty by insisting
upon QUAY's retirement from the
Senate. The people of the entire
State are invited to join in this
movement. The address is at
tracing considerable attention, and
its effect on the party will be watch
ed with no little degree of interest
Meanwhile QUAY is laying low and
saving wood.

HONEST MONEY TAINTED.

Senator PETTIGREw, while in
Washington a few days ago, ex-
pressed some very clear ideas on
the silver question. He says {:
"This silver question is with us
not so much a mining question as
it is an agricultural one. The de-
monetization of silver has operated
as a hardship against farmers by
compelling them to compete with
the wheat markets of India, where
the natives do not care for the val
lie of the coin itself. With them a
rupee is a rupee, and it will buy as
much wheat if the metal in it is
only worth ten cents as if it were
worth fifty cents. If the English
can buy our silver cheaply and
coin it into rupees, the American
farmer is defrauded out of just that
much money in the price of wheat
If silver were not demonetized and
put upon a parity with gold the
price of wheat would go up, and
that is what the farmers of the
West demand. We do not believe
there is enough money in circula,
ton for the volume Of business
transacted" AS the price of wheat
went up, SO would the price Of to.
bacco, corn, cotton and other farm
products advance in price. The
time is not far distant when Wal
street will no longer dictate the fl
nancial policy of this Government

HIS OPPORT UNITY.

The Toiler states that it is in re-
ceipt of resolutions from several
subordinate Alliances expressing
confidence in Mr.. MCDOWELL and
declaring they would hold him
blameless until his vindication has
been published. That paper also
states that prominentAlliance men
declare their confidence that Mr..
MCDOWELL will be able to disap-
prove the charges SO forcibly given
by the American. The public can
be depended on to suspend Judge
ment for a reasonable time, but not
indefinitely. The charges made by
the American are sustained by af-
fidavits, and if Mr.. MCDOWELL is
innocent he should go before a
competent court and force the
American to produce its witnesses.
In this way he can vindicate him
self satisfactorily to thepatientpub-
lie. 1t would not take a jury long
to award him the amounto damages
he might claim. If guiltless, it is
|
the opportunity of his life.

REPUBLICAN opposition to Mr..
HARRIsoNs denomination rapidly
gaining strength among the best
element of the party, and while no
organized movement in opposition
to his candidacy has taken definite
shape the influence is sufficient to
Justify the conclusion that his name
will not be considered in the NOM
inatingconvention. The President
doubtless recognizes this fact, and
it is said that he has made up his
mind not to antagonize the aspira-
tons of the Secretary Of State, who
is in popular favor just now with
the spirit of the party, but this
does not imply that Mr.. HARRISON
will quietly submit to the influence
arrayedagainsth him withouta strug-

not built that way. His blind at
