THE OHIO DBMOC RATS
Gathering for Tomorrow's Convention
Neal Against the Field.

Gathering for Tomorrow's Convention
Neal Against the Field.
CINCINNATI. Aug. 8, 1893.-The knock
down and drag-out portion of the arRu-
man5 to decide who shall lead the Ohio
Democracy this fall is fairly on today.
The fight Is one of Lawrence I. Neal
against the field, With odds about even.
Neal, an out and out free siver man
aud advocate of tariff for revenue
only, has unqnestionably lost ground
by the Presidents message. The mai
ity of the Ohio Democracy is in favor of
upholding the hands Of the Government.
When the Presidents message was pub
lished. 1t WAS notly denounced by many,
. who, later, had nothing to say save
words of approval. 1t was far from suit
ing the Ne al faction, and their opponents
have not been slow to br and them as
being opposed to the wishes of the Ad-
ninistration.
Meals personal following is very
strong, and IL will 90 far toward lifting
MIN In, no matter what mis- attitude to-
ward the Government, or that of tho
Governments toward him.
W. B. Ritchie, who many declared
could have been nominated on the first
ballot had he been willing to run, came
TO town last night. He is out for Neal.
Campbell forces are almost for any man
to beat Neal and they are making 8 des-
perate fight against him.
1t Is really as much of fight between
the Campbell and anti Campbell ele-
ments as upon any subject of State or
National import.
Tomorrow morning the Convention
will be called to order by Chirman Critics
at nine o'clock. The chairman will
make a very brief address. Gilbert H.
Bargar Of Columbus, temporary chair
man, will make short address and
after the reading of the platform
the Convention will proceed to
the nomination of officers, There
are nine candidates for Lieutenant
Governor, of whom Jesse P. Forbes of
Coshocton County, is said to have the
greatest strength. The name of John j..
Lentz has been mentioned for this posi-
tion, but chiefly by his opponents who
appear rather anxious TO remove him
from the race tor first place.
The position of State Treasurer Is made
conspicuous by having but TWO avo wed
candidates-F. G. AckermRn of Richland
and B. G. Blackburn of Coshocto All

Justice Reincke tried his first case last
night at his court, No. IT'S Montgomery
street. Mr.. Scales, who lives at No. AZ
Romaine avenue, was charged by Mr..
Carmen with shooting large Newfound-
land dog and allowing him to lie until
Officer Murphy humanely put him out Of
his sufferings one hour and half later.
This act OF cruelty took place a week ago
yesterday. Mr.. VIM. G. Orton was the
owner of the dog, and he told Mr.. Carmen,
who Is member of the S. p. g. A. the
circumstances in the case Carmen had
Scales arrested. Scales admitted having
shot the dog, but said that he did It
because he killed his chickens He says
that the reason he didn't kill him is be-
cause he doesn't understand the use of
revolver.
Mr.. Orton said that Mr.. Scales never
complained to him about the dog. His
Honor decided it a case of wanton cruelty
and nned the defendant nve dollars and
costs. He refused to pay the fine and said
ne would appeal, whereupon Court Clerk
George M, Mccarthy declared the Court
adjourned.
