CLEVELAND, July 14.-Goverror Camp
bell will be the nominee of the Democratic
convention tomorrow for governor OF
Ohio. The contest will be short and de-
cisive, and will be concluded with the nrst
ballot. Governor Campbell will receive far
more than enough votes to nominate him,
but the anti Campbell delegates insist they
will go on record in opposition in order to
prevent an unanimous nomination. Tnus,
SO far as the convention is concerned, har-
mony is deliberately rejected as an IN
necessary political commodity and the only
question now is, will the anti-Campoell
factions carry their grievances to the polls.
There have been many wordy war
fares in hotel Hobbies to day between
Campbell delegates and their demon
strative opponents, and in several cases
the disputes went to such an extent that the
admirers of the governor answered the
threats of the Hamilton county delegates by
declaring Campbell could be both nomina-
ted and elected without the help of Cincin-
natl. All these disputes are deprecated by
both Campbell and Neal, but their i'll effect
is none the less felt in the party ranks.
While an angry wrangIe was in progress
this evening in front of the Pldindedler
Office, between Peter Nolan, a Campbell
man and amateur prize fighter, and William
and James Patterson, Neal delegates, the
lie was passed. and in an instant revolvers
were drawn. A lively fusiiade followed.
in which four or five shots were fired with
mild results. An innocent bystander re-
ceived one of the bullets, after which the
weapons were used as clubs, with more ap-
preciable effect on the contestants They
all received numerous gashes over the
head and were bleeding profusely when
arrested. This unfortunate incident tended
| to restore a more philosophical feeling all
around. Party leaders of all factions i'm
mediately united in vigorous protests
against wrangles, and tonight petty dis
putes are discountenanced BY all, and q
strong attempt will be made to restore par
| tial harmony.
The full strength of the Campbell follow
ing was not appreciated until the governor
reached the city this afternoon. There Is
no doubt of my nomination on the first bal
| LOTT said he this evening to an Associated
Press representative. 1t is q simple ques
ton Of addition, as l already have assur-
ances from far more than enough delegates
| to insure my nomination. / think the re-
suit, whatever it may be. will be accepted
philosophically by all my worthy competi
tors, and that the Democracy OF the state
will present an unbroken front TO the enemy
| this fall"
A mass meeting OF anti-Campbell dele
gates was held this afternoon, at which
| was discussed the question whether in the
event Of Campbelps nomination, the oppo
sition should permit him to be declared the
unanimous nominee or insist on a complete
roll call and make the record show the op-
posing votes. The committee reported this
evening in favor of opposing Campbell &c
the bitter end. This persistent opposition
is the sensation OF the town to- night and
has destroyed the last hope of a harmonious
| convention
! The committee has been in session all
the evening, and the platform is practically
completed, except on the silver question.
The tariff plank is founded on that Of last
year, and demands a reduction of tariff
taxes and denouDoes the "so-called pro-
tective tariff" etc. The platform pledges
Ohio Democrats to aid IN every way the
effort to make suitable exhibit at the
Worlds fair. 1t is possible plank favor
ing free silver will be adopted, but if so a
minority report will be presented opposing
