Leaders of the Party Gathering at Cincin-


NATL l.
CINCINNATI, June The national
prohibition convention pT6per does not
convene until Wednesday morning, but
the disciples of cold water are fioclsing
to the city from all parts of the country,
and the prediction is that the present
gathering will be the largest ever known
to the party. ma
Samuel Dickie, of Albion, Mich,
chairman of the national committee, is
already on the field, and has established
himself in room 16O at the Grand, which
will be the national committee head
quarters. With him came Samuel D.
Hastings, of Wisconsin, who has been
treasurer of the national organization
for the past ten years. .rF
Ex-Gov John p st. John, of Kansas,
reached the city with his wife Friday
night. That no amount of persuasion
can induce the former leader of the
party to accept denomination is
now acknowledged. Says he: MY de-
cision is as unalterable as theslaw of
the Medes and Pe1Sans.
The nominee will probably be either
Gen. John I'idwell, of California. or.
W. Jennings Demorest, of New York.
st. John farors the former. and his
opinion will have great weight. 1t is
the general sentiment, too, that the
party should go west for its leaders.
For the vice-presdcntial nomination
Rev d. c. Kelley, Of Tennessee, is most
prominently mentioned, and he also has
the satisfact ton of having st. Johns
support. There are plenty, however,
who are willing to have the honor of
the partys leadership thrust upon
| them.
Samuel Diclie, the national chair
man, will be supported by some. Among
| the other candidates are Judge Amos
Briggs, of Philadelphia: II. Clay Bas-
com, of Troy, n. Y; Col, T. T. Ritter,
of Indianapolis; William I. Wardwell,
of New York, and Nolney b. Cushing,
| of Maine.

which the investigation wouldn't be

Fishback did not purge himself of the
contempt, but hired two law firms to de-
fend him, and the result was today's
decision.
He was taken to the county jail and
locked up in a cell. An appeal will DO
