THIRD PARTY IN OHIO.
Delegates to the Convention Mt Springfield
Slowly Assembling.


SPRINGFIELD. OHIO. August 5.-The peoples
party delegates are not arriving as early as
many of the sanguine leaders anticipated. There
are about 200 here now. and the conservative
ones say they will be satisfied if delegation
comes from each of the forty-seven
counties with tickets in the field,
and the total number reaches 300. Dis
trict meeting will be held at IL a. m. and the
temporary organization will occur at p. m
Hugh Cavanaugh of Cincinnati will be temporary
chairman. the prejudices against him being
overcome. Hugo Preyer says the platform,
which will be reported late this afternoon,
viii be constructed in the committee room from
suggestions furnished by the people.
J. C. n. Cobb of Wellstown, jackson county,
the acknowledged leader in the race for guber-
Material nomination, and a brother-in-law of
Gov. Foraker, says the Cincinnati platform will
be adopted, with possibly few additions, such
as the free coinage of both gold and silver.
Quite strong contingent is here advocating
a woman's suffrage plank and the prospect is
good for a lively discussion. The matter of a
prohibition plank ia exciting much talk. but it
will not figure largely. the principal prohi-
bitionists have given assurance that their ticket
will continue in the field, no matter what this
convention does.

am not aware of the social status of Mr..
Jardine. the Oxford captain, but Mr.. McGregor,
the captain of the Cambridge team, is the son
Of an Edinburgh hotel keeper. Observe the
note Of admiration that ends the foregoing
sentence. A tavern keepers son to command
an Oxford Varsity cricketing team. The
notion is enough to make an old Blue of the
true breed, a patrician Of blue, blue blood,
shudder again. Now, what is the cause of
this? l will tell you. McGregor happens to
be the finest wicket keeper in England, amateur
or professional. He could not be left out Of
the team. Cricket levels both up and down.
That Is one remarkable feature in the constitu-
tion of the teams. Here is another. The best
bowler on the Oxford side is a gentleman
named Bassett. Well. it is fact that for some
time he was looked askant at by 'the manage
ment' of the Oxford team and practically left
out in the cold Why? Do not laugh. Be-
cause his father is or his people are, some
thing in the bairdressing line

Table Talk in q French Home.

FROM Forum.
Children being nearly always at table in
France, and conversation often being ami
mated among their elders, hear great deal
that was never intended for them. and
they get sort of education in talkativeness
by mere example. They may make little use
Of this in the presence of strangers during
boyhood or girlhood, but it bursts out after
ward when they get to talking age 1t is
recognized by custom that when a family is in
private every one has right to talk or not, as
he pleases, and silence being permitted. the
taciturn will take advantage of it. Still,
nothing is more national in French life than
talkativeness at meal times. even when the
family alone is present. This does at least
keep up the national power of talking though
the mill wheels of conversation have fire.
quently very little grain to grind. Talk of this
kind has some use as a stimulating exercise Of
the lighter faculties which in other countries
are often left unexercised. The merits of it
are its facility for expression and its ample
choice of language. The defects of it in
France may be included under the one head Of
insufficient or inaccurate information.

RETURN OF THE LIGHT HATrEny.

1neir Return Appearance Shows the Bene-
fit Of Their Camp Life.
Light battery A, d. c. N. g., arrived home
from Its Bay Ridge campaign yesterday after
noon, passing up Pennsylvania avenue about
4 o'clock.
Although looking somewhat dusty and dirty
from the effects of the march, they present a
most serviceable and business-like appearance.
This trip and that of the cavalry troop have
demonstrated the fact that our militia can no
longer be called .'play soldiers"
1t was composed of men who are NOT afroid
OF hard work. can stand exposure, and are will
ing 70 sacrifice time and money for the sake of
acquiring knowledge Of the practical side of
sne soldiers life OF COURSE the actual
hh s .r, ana ilre discipline can only
extended maneuvers. but it must have been
clearly SHOWN to the doubters that we now have A
BODY OF men who can be depended upon for emer-
gencies and need only encouraging legislation
ana systematic instruction to be all that is nee
essary Tor republic to maintain for its protec-
ton in time OF war.
THE WORK ACCOMPLISHED.
In this case body Of young men voluntarily
formed into military organization under Off
GERS OF their own selection, make q march
across strange tract of country, caring for
themselves, their horses and guns
pitch camp and spend the time
while there in solid instruction, and make
the return march, arriving home in good con-
dition and possessed of much valuable informa-
ton regarding the art of war, which will at
some future time be of great value to the ma
ton. and all this largely at their own expense,
as Congress failed to make the necessary appro-
prlation for camp duty this year.
Such an exhibition of military spirit is to be
commended and encouraged by the substantial
citizens OF the community and the government
authorities.
GOOD TINE MADE.
The march made by the battery in two days
was forty-twc miles, rate of progress
which by comparison with past examples of ac-
tive service will be found exceedingly good
The return was made in quicker time, the
horses being in better condition and more ac-
customed to the work Coming back the bug
gage wagon was dispensed with, having been
taken to pieces and shipped by rail. 1t was
not fitted to its work and caused much trouble
on the way over. Coming back all necessary
bnGSager--~ carried on the chests. Great credit
lie tt . IT. Robbins, in command, for his
successi' sanization and carrying out of the
trip and aso to the members Of the battery for
their good conduct. willingness to work and
cooperation in making the most successful
and instructive tour Of duty ever participated
In by the command since its organization.

tants and quartermasters and adopt
longer tenures OF office the order can be
strengthened and the membership raised to

Prospects of a Considerable Republican De-

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, ONO. August 5.-There is con-
siderable detection of the colored vote from the
republican party imminent in Ohio in the
coming election. Many of the leading colored
republicans do not think they have received a
fair share of the offices to be given out by their
party. The democrats have taken pains to re-
ward with offices the few colored men who
have come into their party in recent years. and
this is having the desired effect The tariff ques-
ton will also split of few colored voters from
the old party.
The mass of this Disconnected colored ele-
ment is likely to go into the democratic party,
but the peoples party will catch not q few.
A wellinformed colored man of this city told
THE STAR correspondent yesterday that Of the
5000 colored voters In this city fully 800 are
ready to bolt their old party nominations. and
he believes this condition of things is not con-
fined to this city nor even to the large cities
but prevails among coiored voters throughout
the state.
