Hill Gets the Delegation in Ono OF the Big
gest Ohio Counties.

gest OHIO Counties.
COLUMBUS. o.. June S.-The report OF the
proceedings Of the Democratic County Con-
vention " Stark county O., at Canton. re-
ceived late last night in this city. has made the
Cleveland men sick. Stark county is the fifth
largest in the eighty eight counties Of Ohio
and has more Democratic delegates in the ap-
portionmcnt than Toledo. Lucas county. When
the delegates were counted it was found that
the Hill men had 100 delegates and the fol-
lowers of the Stuffed Prophet GA. SO it will be
seen Hill beats Cleveland in the home Of Me-
kinley more than two to ono.
This nsurcs the election OF the Hon. John
G. Warwick OF Massillon. the man who heat
Gov. Mckinley for Congress in November 1880.
as one OF the delegates to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention at Chicago. Congressman
Warwick says he owes his election to David b.
Hill Of New York He came TO Ohio and showed
the Democratic admirers OF Mckinley that
the latter never voted for a Democratic man
nor measure while in Congress. and why
should they vote for Mckinley? Hills modest
and almost difident manners also won for
him hosts of friends. Hill spoke at Canton.
Massilon. Wooster. and Miersburc. Holmes
county. and the latter responded with an old.
time Democratic majority of 1000 against
Mckinley. ard the battle was won hy small
majority.
But where. On. where was cleveland Al
though begged by letter and telegraph to come
and help Warwick. and informed that the
whole available force Of the Republican party
was being used to elect Mckinley. the Claimant
did not even dcgn to answer, a Democratic
cry for help when It was SO badly needed that
it was almost pathetic This is the reason
that the Stuffed Prophet will not be in it" in
the Stark Mahoning district
At New Philadelphia to-day. in the Seven
teenth Democratic Congress district. an effort
was made to instruct the two delegates for
Cleveland. but the motion was sat down on SO
hard that the explosion was heard all over the
hills and valleys OF the Tuscarawas.

in strict confidence. of course. He and his
running mate took seats in a crowded down
town cafe. and oh. dear dear such n tim. as
they had. Whenever a hungry guest passed
their table the bright young man would sud-
denly glance up and cXclaim loudly. How do
YOU do? 7" as if accostnG the stranger. Then
instantly turning To- his companion he would
complete the sentence by adding, when you
are in, New York and want to go over to
Brooklyn"
1t was great fun. But no one seemed to en-
JOY it except tn. two dudes who took an active
part in it. Indeed, those in the immediatG
vicinity seemed to be greatly bored. An old
farmer. who was quietly sipringG cup Of coffee
at a neighboring table watched this little play
with considerable interest, Finishing his
lunch he arose, picked up the Writers check.
and started forward to the cashiers desk.
He had almost reached til" table OF the two
brilliant young Iokcrs when suddenly one Of
them exclaimed. " How do you do ~ But the

Then came motion from the Clevelandites
to consider the resolutions. They were ac-

paragraph instructing the delegates to vote
for Cleveland was rejected 10y the significant

Minneapolis who is not member OF the inner
circle
He reached Boston this morning en- route
for Bar Harbor. His purpose was to continue
his journey this afternoon. but some message
from Minneapolis caused him to make a
radical change in his plans. He intends now
to remain in Boston until to- N orrow night. and
possibly until Friday. All day he remained
in his rooms at the Brunswick Presiden-
tial sute-and was in constant communication
with the powers that be at Minneapolis. A
bushel OF kilograms showed that his inove-
ments were known in the Convention city.

The Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge had an
hours chat with the ex-Secretary. dur
ing which time nobody was admitted. When
questioned as to his interview with Mr. Blaine.
Mr.. Lodge said it had no political significance.
Mr.. Blaine. he said. did not conflde in him
what his desires or hopes were in re-
spect OF the Presidential nomination.
Senator John simpkins. President of

Simpkins was received a personal friend.
