STEuBESvIfLE, O.. July 30.-Next Tues
day, August I'd, the Democratic convention
for this Congressional District will meet IN
Bellaire, and after that time 1t will be GER
tainly known who the opponent OF Col.
Poorman will be, although it is pretty well
settled that Hon. A. j. Pearson, OF Monroe
county, will be nominated. This leads 10
consideration of the prospects for the cleo
ton of the Democratic candidate In this
city and county it is understood that II 1t
had not been for some second choice Poor
man delegates the Hon. r. Sherrard would
have been the nominee, as this county was
entitled to it, but these men, when the mat
ter was under consideration OF leaving
Richards and going to Sherrard, announced
that if an attempt was made TO DO so they
would vote for Poorman. The reason for
this was that they did not want JEFFERSON
county man nominated but were after Poor
man, and why stick TO Richards, because
it was evident he had no chance. some
of these men were soldiers in Poorman's
regiment, but the leader was man VINO mas
Congressional aspirations himself, ana dlo
not want a jefferson man, because 1t would
delay his chances in the hereafter. Inc
other Republicans don't feel very good
over this matter, ana will doubtless reouke
this selfish course by voting for the OPPOSE

the Nichols delegates were only held Tor
Poorman by threats they would be damned
politically if they did otherwise, and Sena-
tor Nichols himself is not backward in say
ing that Col. Poorman promised not 70 De
candidate for Congress provided Senator
Nichols would recommend him 20 Governor
Mckinley for the appointment as Secre-
tary of State, 10 fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Dan Ryan. Everything
looks as if the little 1900 Republican ma
iority in the district would be overcome
and Congressman Pearson sent back to
Washington TO succeed himself.
