Ohio Democratic Convention.

COLUMBUS, O., June 14.-It will be
the field against Cleveland in the Dem
ocratic State convention tomorrow,
and the indications tonight are that
the field is in the ma jority. The field,
however, is not concentrated on any
one man. Some of the delegates favor
Hill, others ex-Secretary Whitney,
few Flower, but the great bulk of
the anti Cleveland delegates are nom
committal beyond the statement
that they favor any man, East or
West that stands show of carrying
New York, but that they do not think
either Cleveland or Hill is that man.
The delegates from the third, tenth
and eleventh are pronouncedly in favor
of new candidate, those from the
sixteenth are nominally for Cleveland,
but in reality for the candidate who
proves most acceptable to all factor S,
while those from the eighteenth are in
structed for Hill. This district is COM
posed of three counties, Stark,
the eighteen delegates from which
were instructed for Hill, and Mahoning
and Columbiana, whose eighteen votes
were instructed for Cleveland. Con-
gresham j. 6. Warwick, who is in
debted to Senator Hill because the lat.
ter stumped his district in Warwick's
memorable contest with Mckinley
when the latter was retired from Con
gress, undertook to champion hiI
cause, and after several secret
ballots the Hill men won by
10 to II. 1t has been mu
tually agreed between the element
that no attempt shall be made to NOR
6 row to instruct the delegation of tn
. delegates at large. Ex-Gov. Camp
! bell and Senator Brice will be chose1
by acclmation. The former is TO
Cleveland. The latter told the Unite
