CAMPBELL, BY RECLAMATION
THAT IS THE WAY I'M LOOKS NOW
Sorg Might Have Had 1t at the Drop of His H.t, But His Health Fore
 bode.

Springfield O., Aug. 20.-Unless there is a. sharp and sudden change in the po- iltieal temperature the nomination for governor will be bestowed by the demo- cratic state convention here tomorrow on Ex-Goy. James E. Campbell and by ac- elamation. All afternoon and evening the bands have been playing the Camp bells are coming" and the thousands in the streets have taken up the refrain. Campbell badges have sprung into view in every direction and the voice of the ex-governor himself, as he declared to his friends with earneStness and unques- tionable sincerity that he was not and could not be a candidate, and that neither his political friends nor his future engagements would permit him to make the race, was drowned by the cheering of the packed corridors for Campbell and victory"
 There was a time this morning when 1t looked as if Congressman Paul J. Sorg would be the nominee. Many of his friends were of the opinion that he had only to say the word to head the ticket, and the wires to Lakewood, N. J., and Chautauqua, N. Y, the places where he was supposed to be sojourning, were kept hot with messages urging him to take a special train and put in ain appearance among his friends before the opening of the convention. Had he yielded to these 1fnpOrLun1IleS, IIle pfOSIdHlile SoilSHl- plated the selection of Campbell as per manent chairman, from which point of vantage he could have declared his ina bility to become a candidate, and the nomination of Sorg would have been made without the formality of ballot.
 Later In the day, however, the congress- man wired from Lakewood that he was sick and unable to make the journey, and that he did not seek or want the nomination. Even when this message was made public and Campbell stock was approximately elevated there were many who persisted in buttonholing and shouting for the Middletown man.
 When this was brought tonight to the attention of Joseph B. Hughes. ex-consul to Birmingham, and regarded as the chlef exponent of the congressmah's boom, he said: "Sorg's name will not be mentioned in the convention tomorrow by anyone that is bis friend. If he is placed in nomination it will not be by his friends, and they have absolute authority in com polling its withdrawal"
 But none of the eloquent pleadings, however, will avail Campbell tomorrow if the delegates continue in their mood or tonight.

Suns Cotton Review.


 New York, Aug. 2O.-The Suns cotton re- view says:

In Manchester were quiet New Orleans declined to The port receipts were 381 bales, against 233 bales on tho same day last week and 2l5S bales on the same day last year. It that cotton should advance today, for there were heavy rains in southern Texas and Liverpool opened lower, the spot business the speculation here was at first quite sluggish. Nevertheless prices did advance and they closed steady at price of points pool rose, Wall street bought and New Or leans was also a buyer.

The receipts at the ports were small -
 Spot cotton was firm, and as regards the crop the feeling among many operators is that 1t is doing very well and that it is a good idea to keep an eye to windward late and that there is therefore greater danger by frost and that operations on the short side for the moment at least seem more hazardous than buying for long ac-

State Department Makes Correction of the Re-
 port That He Criticised Missionaries,

Washington, Aug. 2O-The statement that Rear Admiral Kirkland had cast severe reflections on the character of American missionaries in Turkey, which called forth an answer from the editor of the Presbyterian Banner is said in official circles to be not sustained by the facts Admiral Kirkland's report on the result of his investigation into the alleged outrages on American mission- aries in Syria contained nothing that could be construed as offensive to mis- sionarieS or other persons concerned. The result of the investigation, as shown by the report, was failure to discover any information tending to sustain the charges that Christians had been cruel fled and otherwise ill treated. Admiral Kirkland visited every accessible port on the Syrian coast in the cruiser San Fran cisco and made a very thorough inquiry into all the complaints At each port ne invited on board the vessel the local authorities and all persons who had charges to make or testimony to give. Not one who came in response to the in vitation could give direct evidence of the alleged outrages, and the hear-say evil dence was of so flimsy a character that 1t was impossible to follow it up.

SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTION.

 Two-Thrds of the Convention Will Be Till
 manites.
 Columbia. S. O., Aug. 20.-The general election for delegates to the constitution al convention, which is to be held on Sep tember 10, was held in South Carolina today. As a general thing, the tickets nominated in the several counties by the democratic primaries held two weeks ago were voted for in this election by the white people. In five or six counties the negroes put out tickets, some of them solid black, others with white republ- cans on them, and still others with part anti-Tillman democrats. The strongest showing they made in any county was In Richland, of which this city is the county seat. Here the straight-outs, or anti Tillmanites, did not vote generally, and the result is close, although the white ticket will win.
 In Sumter county the anti-Tillmapites and conservative reformers ran ticket in opposition to the Tillmanites nomi- mated at the primary and showed them under. In several other counties the antl-Tilmanites put out tickets at the eleventh hour, and being unorganiZed the indications are that none of them have been successful. In many counties in the state the reformers and conservatives were both represented on the regular ticket, and there was no opposition.
 The results of today's election will be that about two-tl1irds of the convention will be composed of reformerS or Ttllman- ties, and that from Georgetown and Beaufort counties there will be two or three republicans. So far as heard from the election was one of the quietest ever held in the state, and the vote cast was very light. The anti-Tilmanites, who made no fight against the primary nomi- nees, generally refrained from voting.
