BUCKEYE DEMOCRATS.
ASSEMBLING OF THE STATE CON-
vENTION AT CLEVELAND.
A Bitter Fight Being Waged Against Gov
ernor Campbell, but He Is Likely to Be
Nominated on First Ballot-A Lively
Time Anticipated.

CLEVELAND, o., July 13.-The dele
gates to the Democratic state convention
are arriving here, and the indications
are that tomorrow will witness one of
the largest gatherings every assembled
in the Buckeye state. Although the pre-
limina-y meetings of the committees
will be held tomorrow, the convention
proper will not be held until Wednes-
day. Allen w. Thurman, son OF the
sold Roman" is to be temporary chair
man. 1t is apparent to all, except the
friends of other candidates, that Gov
ernor Campbell will be renominated on
first ballot, although the friends OF Law
renee Neals insist that their candidate
has a fighting chance. The feeling
against Campbell, among the Hamilton
county delegates is so strong that it is a
very sanguine man indeed, who would
Governor Campbell's friends are COM
planning of the circulation of the canard
to the effect that he contemplated de-
clining the nomination after winning
the fight, and that the Campbell men
will then throw the nomination to Nc
Mahon, of Dayton. The story receives
no general credence.
Campbell's opponents are Lawrence
7. Neal of Chillicothe and Virgil P.
Kline of Cleveland. Up to today Neal
was the principal competitor, but with
in few hours the Kline boomlet as
sumed proportions, which makes him
apparently the only formidable opponent
of Campbell. The logic of the situation
has caused all the anti-Campbell men
to combine under the battle cry of
anything to beat Campbell" and the
question was, who was the most avail
able. To this question now there is lit
tie division of sentiment.
1t is understood that the anti-Camp-
bellites will struggle hard to create
break in the ranks of the enemy, but
the chairman of the state central COM
mittee, tonight, believes that Campbell
will be nominated on the first ballot.
The platform IS subject of much dis
cussion. It. has been decided that the
party will stand by its position of
year ago in all the leading issues, COM
mend Campbells administration, de-
nounce the Republican national admin
istration, denounce the Fifty-frst con-
gress for its extravaganza, denounce the
Mckinley tariff bill, and demand a re-
duction of tariff taxes.
While the free coinage sentiment is
strong, there is lively opposition to it,
and many conservative Democrats are
urging that the financial question be not
made an issue at all.

WHY DID DOUGLASS LEAvE9
Word Comes From Hayti That He Was
Not Wanted There.

mol wanted Vhere.
New YORK, July 13.-The Atlas line
mail steamer Athos, from Port Limon,
arrived this afternoon. Late in June
the Athos touched at Hayti, and ac-
cording to her officers, it was learned
that Fred Douglass, United States
minister to Hayti, had left his post
at Port-Au-Prince, because the Haytian
government did not care to recognize the
representative of the United States, and
it was rather the desire of the black re-
public to break off all intercourse with
this country. The Haytian government,
it was said, fears the United States, and
in order to avoid interference OF any
kind from this government, will sacrifice
social intercourse with it.
Legitime was still at Kingston, and
growing in favor. The Haytians prefer
him to Hippolyte, and only await his
word to institute another revolt.
The Athos also brought news of the
failure of the extensive fruit importing
corporation known as the Baltimore
Fruit company. This company main
tanned a feet OF ocean steamers between
Philadelphia and Bluefields.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-Acting Secre-
tary of State Wharton regards the re-
ports brought by steamer from Hayti,
that Minister Douglass left Port-au-
Prince because the Haytian government
desired to break off intercourse with
this country, as pure invention,
and says there is no reason to believe
that any such condition OF affairs exists
in Hayti.
Minister Douglass, when shown the
telegram tonight, said, to his personal
knowledge, the Haytian government did
not wish to break off intercourse with
the United States nor did he believe
that the government was dissatisfied
with him as minister.

PARIS, July 13.-Considerable excite
ment was caused today throughout Paris
by the report that President Carnot was
shot. The rumor proved untrue, but
there was foundation for it. The pres
ident was present today at the cere-
monies OF the official opening of new
thoroughfare, where he received an en-
thusiastic welcome. Suddenly man,
wild-eyed and making insane gestures,
forced his way through the crowd,
rushed to the presidents carriage and
fired a pistol at Carnot, the man shout
ing at the same time: "I'll prove that
there are more bastilles to be demol-
ished."
The would-be assassin was promptly
arrested, and such was the anger of the
crowd that the president and other Of
fcers had the greatest difficulty in pro-
tecting the prisoner from becoming the
victim of popular fury. 1t was soon
learned that the prisoner was mad
man, and had just been released from
confinement in lunatic asylum.

ation Successfully Performed.

SAN Francisco, July 13.-Mrs. Lucy
Pratt, young widow, today sold forty
five square inches of her skin for $100.
A strip of skin, nine by five inches, was
cut from her body by the surgeons and
grated on to the leg of William
A. Dagget, railway mail clerk
who was frightfully injured in
the railroad accident at Port Costa. His
right leg was terribly burned and the
wound would not heal, and as last re-
sort E skin-grafting was resorted to.
A sfellow clerk of the suf-
ferer volunteered to make the sac
rifce, but when he learned the amount
Of skin needed he backed out. Mrs.
Yrats IS one OF The trained nurses at the
hospital for children and training school
for nurses. She has three children and
needed money, so she offered to furnish
the necessary amount of skin. She sub
mitted bravely to the operation, which
was successfully performed and was paid
500 for her sacrifice.

The watch TRUST "B listed" !"

ST. LOUIS, July 13.-A prominent
jewelry company received telegram
from Chicago this afternoon, stating
that the watch trust had gone to pieces
under the action of the Illinois antitrust
law. The trust was a jobbers' associa-
tion OF manufacturers of American
watches, and comprised every large
watch-case manufacturing concern in
the country. The dissolution was caused
by the withdrawal of the Elgin COM
pany, which being an Illinois corpora
ton, was amenable to the law. This
was followed by the withdrawal of
others, until the trust crumbled out of
existence.

OTTAWA, Ont, July 13.-The collector
of customs at Victoria informs the
department of the seizure, near that
point, of the sloop Flora, of Seattle,
Wash, for neglecting to report inward.

her. A man appeared on deck asking
what was wanted. They expressed a
desire to see him, and he pulled within

started back to the ship, but they COW
cred him with revolvers and compelled
him to take them to the sloop. They

days, the vessel will be confiscated and

factories along the coast of Newfound-

an edict of starvation to hundreds of
people, and unless the people of Halifax
and other parts of Canada organize a
relief fund, great destitution, if not
actual starvation, must ensue. The
scattered people of the west coast are
also dependent upon the fisheries, but
the most important question is, Will
the British government compensate the
thousands of people whom they pro-
hibit from making a living. These
