nent Chairman Of the greatest Democratic
convention that ever met in this country.

DELEGATES DELAYED BY wASHoUTs.
MISSOULA (Mont.), June IA portion

and Washington, en- route to the National
Democratic Convention, are delayed here
by washouts on the Northern Pacific. 1t

| OHIO DEMOCRATS.
COLUMBUS (O.), June 1.-THE Demo-
cratic State Convention will convene to-
morrow morning. Nearly all the dele
gates arrived to-day, and district meet
ings were held this afternoon. The
various convention committees were Sc
lected, including the State Central Com
mittee, and six districts which had not
already done so selected delegates to
Chicago. Of these two are pronounced
Cleveland men, two anti Cleveland and
the others for the strongest man at
Chicago.
The State ticket is lost sight of in the
contest for delegates-at- large. 1t is con-
ceded that Senator Brice and Ex-Governor
Campbell will be selected without oppo-
sition.
For the other places the most probable
to succeed are Robert B. Lee of Cleveland,
Allen w. Thurman of Columbus and l..
Il. Neal of Chillicothe. There is a strong
fight being made OH the candidacy of
Cleveland. Allen W. Thurman is pro-
nounced in this regard, and his success
will be recognized as a Cleveland victory
The opposition, however, is we'll organ
lied, and have won about every contest
in the caucus to-day.
The best judges analyze the delegation
to stand ten to twelve for Cleveland
About the same number are ranked for
Hill, and the remainder of the forty-six
are unpledged, but have a strong feeling
for Cleveland.
WILL HAVE NO wALK-ovER.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Her02Fs
Washington correspondent. specializing
on the outcome of the Chicago conven-
ton, says:
cleveland will have no walk-over,
but the Democratic leaders at Washing
ton believe the ex-President will have to
fight hard for the nomination. German
is the choice of apparently majority of
his Senatorial confreres." OF the plat
form the correspondent says: "An effort
to obtain a strong civil service reform
plank in the Democratic national plat
form is being made by the Democratic
members of Congress interested in the
subject, and the silver plank is the sub
ject of considerable discussion among
them. The silver men seem less dis
posed to make an aggressive fight than
the representatives of the mining States
at the Republican Convention. The op-
|
much difficulty in obtaining a plank
they want. and the friends of free coinage
have evidently lost heart by repeated de-
teats in the Democratic ranks. Senator
! Stewart, the Republican silver agitator
from Nevada, said, in reply to a question
as to what the Democrats would do on
the silver question: Bah! They will
do just the same as was done by the
Republicans. Why, the gold bugs would
send 81 100000 or S2,0O0,CO0, if necessary,
to buy up the whole convention Rep
| resentative Bland, the Democratic free
coinage advocate, is equally hopeless.
| The fact that one of the counties in his
district recently adopted resolutions ad-
vising that the tariff be made the pre-
dominant issue seems to have killed his
ardor. All that could be got from him
as to whether an earnest fight would be
made at Chicago for free silver coinage
was Il do not know; l do not know what
will be done.''
