Special Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
COLUMBUS, o., June 22.-The anti-Campbeil
democrats at Cincinnati last Saturday in select
ing delegates to the state convention renders il
certain that the convention will be asked to
refuse these delegates seats in the hall on the
ground of Irregularities in their selection.
In order to understand the first objection OF
Gov. Campbell to the selection of state dele
gates, as was at first proposed in Hamilton
county on Saturday, ii should be known that it
has long been established unwritten law in
the democratic organization in this state that
the vote for the candidate at the head of the
party ticket on the preceding year shall be
taken as the basis in the apportionment for
representative in state convention. This was
sanctioned by the state committee and OBJ
served in all counties that have SO far selected
state delegates.
The Hamilton county committee. however,
which is controlled by anti Campbell demo-
Gratis, issued a card for q primary election to
select state delegates, using the vote for COVER
nor two years ago the basis for apportioment
The reason is obvious. That basis would give
Hamilton county eghty-two delegatesin the state
convention, while the usual one would give it
only fifty-two delegates and of course very
large proportion of them would be likely to be
anti-Cdmpbell.
At the last moment before the primary elec-
ton on Saturday, and after Gov. Campbell had
requested his friends not to take part in it.
the anti-Campbeu men announced that only
fifty-two delegates would be selected. This
was in effect adopting the basis of apportion-
ment demanded by Gov. Campbell, but it was
too late for his friends TO do anything. although
they did vote in most cases and a solid Neal
delegation was elected
Gov. Campbell said to THE STAR correspond
ent when the course of affairs was made known
to him that the scoundrels in Cincinnati who
were fighting him had simply attempted to Off
set one trick by another.
THE GOVERNORS BELIEF.
They called a primary election upon one
basis of representation and conducted it upon
another. The result is Just as fraudu-
lent as If they had proceeded to
elect delegates upon their irregular and
unwarranted apportionment. 1t will be
disgraceful for any democrat to come to the
state convention holding credentials as a dele
gate elected by such crooked methods. do
not think the state convention will permit any
such delegates to occupy seats in the conven-
ton hall''
Continuing. Gov. Campbell said that his
friends would probably call mass meeting of
Cincinnati democrats at an early day to select
delegates, who would ask to be allowed to rep
resent Hamilton county in the convention.
1t appears that Gov. Campbell will have the
state outside Of Cincinnati practically solid for
him. and he can admit what delegation he
chooses as the representatives of Hamilton
county democrats.
THE NEAL BOOM sUBsIDING.
It is quite evident now that Gov. Campbell
will be nominated and the Neal boom is quietly
