CoLuHBus. ONO, June so.-The action of the
Ohio delegation to the democratic national con-
vention has created about IS much dissaiisfac-
ton In the party ranks in this state ~ the &C
ton OF the Ohio delegation 10 the republican
national convention At Minneapolis did. One
who has paid the least attention 20 Ohio politics
and talked with the rank and Gle Of the demo
cratic party in this state must be convinced
that the democracy Of Ohio IL strongly for
Cleveland While many Of the leaders were
openly opposing Mr.. Clevelsnd's nomination
the rank and file Of the democratic party was
loudly clamoring for his selection o. party
leader again. As Judge Allen Thurman has put
IL, the fact that he received such an overwhelm-
ing vote on the first ballot. in spite of the con-
nivance OF many Of the party leaders to defeat
him, Is unmistaksble evidence OF Cleveland's
popularity with the rank and file Of the party.
DISSATISFIED WITH SENATOR BRIcE.
A great deal Of unfavorable comment upon
Senator Brice's action IL heard here now Dem
ocrats say he il not TO be blamed for holding the
opinion that Mr. Cleveland was not the most
everything was going toward Cleveland IL would
have been but the part Of wisdom and prudence
and policy tohave followed suit and thus placed
Ohio's democracy in a better light
The Thurman Club of this city il in q rage be-
cause Of the Treatment they received from Sem
ator Brice- Before leaving this city for Chicago
they had the assurance Of Mr.. Brice that he
| would see that all members Of that organization
who went 10 Chicago should secure admission
| TO the convention hall Being chairman OF the
national committee the TWENTY-FIVE OF thirty
members who went 10 Chicago believe il would
have been an easy matter for him to fulfill his
promise But at Chicago he did nothing for
\ them at all, and IL is their opinion that he did
| not want to let them in the hall because they
were known 10 be solid for Cleveland and would
have hurrahed for the ex-President Senate:
Brice is an honorary member of the club and
there is talk of expelling him, but it is nor
likely that the club will 60 SO far.
LITTLE POLITICAL ENTHUSIASM
| The news Of Cleveland's nomination was re-
ceived here in about the same passive manner
as the news Of Harrison's nomination. There
was no outburst of enthusiasm. and yet. as in
the case Of the republican nomination. il I'M
| doubtedly suits the party better than any other
that could have been made. Leading men OF
both parties who have been interviewed here
] express satisfaction with the nominations and
! from present indications il does not seem likely
| either party. The strength of the Foraker
faction in this state and the fact this { in the
early part of his administration President Har-
rison practically ignored Ohio republicans may
have q tendency to somewhat reduce the usual
| republican majority in Ohio, but Ohio il safe
enough for the republicans not to lose any
sleep or money over il.
PROSPECTS OF CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES
About one-half Of the congressional nomina-
tons have been made. The others will follow
in rapid succession, now that the national and
state conventions are over. Congressman ].
NJ. Pattison Of the present sixth district will in
| all probability be succeeded by John Hulick Of
Batavia, as the latter has been nominated by
| the republicans and the district Is overwhelm-
/ ingly republican. Congressman Gantz will
| doubtless surrender his seat to the republican
nominee, George Wilson Of London, who last
week, as a dark horse. took the nomination
away from ex-Speaker J. W. keIfer. John r.
| Locke and other prominent republicans. This
district is also undoubtedly republican. Con-
gresham A J. Pierson, who finds himself now
| in the sixteenth district and will be renomi-
mated. will be succeeded undoubtedly by Col.
Q. L. Poorman Of Bellaire, editor Of the Bellaire
| Tribune and ut present secretary of state, hav-
| ing been appointed by Gov. Mckinley TO fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of Daniel J.
! Ryan, now Ohio's worlds fair executive commits
4 sioner.
| Among the leading republican Congressman
| who will be coming back 10 the seats they were
retired from by the last democratic gerry
mander, are Gen. W. II. Enochs Of Ironton, who
/ viii be elected in the tenth district, and Gen.
Chas. n. Grosvenor Of Athens, who will be
| elected in the eleventh district. Joseph II.
Outhwaite, who has been nominated, will un-
doubleday be elected from this, the twelfth dis
| trict.
THE STATE CONTEST THIS FALL.
Conservative democrats are inclined to look
upon the nomination Of Col. W. A. Taylor by
the democrats for secretary Of state as unfor-
tunate for several reasons. Col. Taylor has been
the political writer for the Cincinnati Enquirer
| for q number Of years and as such has severely
| attacked q great many republicans, who have
| become his implacable enemies and viii leave
no stone unturned to accomplish his defeat.
He has been identified also with the element OF
the democracy here which has opposed the
nomination OF ex-President Cleveland and thu.
offended the Cleveland democrats, who will not
be enthusiastic supporters Of his candidacy.
Col. Taylor, however, will be aided by weak
nesses in his opponent, s. NJ Tay-
| lor OF Champaign county. The latter
is chairman of the finance committee Of the
house Of representatives, and as such stands
| responsible for the rather extravagant expenses
| Of the state government this year. He has also
been identified with the Sherman faction and
together with Joseph P.Smith, also from Cham
paign county, conducted one wing OF the Sher-
man fight in the late senatorial campaign. In
| conducting this fight he made himself objec-
tionable to q large number Of Foraker republi-
cans. who, it is believed, will scratch his name
at the polls.
While it is very early in the campaign to make
any prediction as to the result in Ohio, it can
be said that there il certainly nothing in sight
| at this time that is likely to materially change
| the result in this state this fall. Gov. Camp
bells remark at Chicago, keep your eve on
Ohio next November" has little Significance
with politicians here. There are disgruntled
members in each Of the parties, but any defec-
ton in one seems likely to be Offset by similar
detection in the other
