COLUMBUS, ONO, July 1st.
The most encouraging feature OF the lat,
meeting of the Democratic Central Com
mittee was the remarkable interest and still
more wonderful attendance. Old timer
who have been in the habit Of going to al
state conventions and attending all commit
tee meetings were astonished stthe enthus
iasm interest shown in this gathering of the
representatives Of the Democracy of thii
state. The corridors of the leading hotels
presented the appearance of state copveu.
tion and those who arrived late at first
thought they had made mistake and bac
really come to the convention itself than to
meeting of twenty one representatives oi
the party. The advertised laundrying OF
political linen which was advertised in the
Republican press for weeks did not take
place. No simular gathering of the Democ.
racy in years was a.

furnished in the deliberations of the Demo-
cratic Central Committee which fixed the
time and place of holding the greatest Dem

the name of Clement L. vallandigham at the

AN HISTORIC PARALLEL
Hon. E. T. Dunn, free silver man,
member committee from Findlay, Ohio
made neat bit at the meeting of she central
committee on Tuesday in the manner of
presenting Senator Brice's name for chair
man of the Democratic convention. After
describing in eloquent lanyuag the defeats
of the last two years he referred to passage
in the life of the great Napoleon as he stood
confronting the Alps. towering thou ands of
feet to the skies. Mr.. Dunn dramatica iy
portrayed the seeming hopelessness of the
undertaking of Napoleon when the young
Corsican said to his chief engineer, SIS the
route practicable" "Barely possible" re-
piled the engineer. ''Tben let the vanguard
move onward" replied Napoleon, and the
extraordinary march commenced, which
ended in the triumph over every obstacle
the complete surprise and route of the enc
my on the pl ins of Italy. Mr.. Dunn made
the application eloquently. With obstacles
confronting the Democratic party seemingly
insurmountable, we have Napoleon in the
person Ex-senator Brice whose genius will
triumph over every impediment and land
he Democratic forces in the beautiful valley
now occupied by the Republican armies.
A vigorous effort to locate one VIM. Nc
Kinley who is suspected of having had
something to do with the Governors Office
for several years ended in wearisome failure
this week. A dispatch from Ottawa, Kan.,
about ten days ago contained the informa-
| tion that he had started East on his
$4,000 PULLMAN
but the private detectives failed 10 find him
anywhere about Columbus. Then word
came that he was secreted in Cleveland no
tel and would be down in few days. But
still he did not materialize. During the lat
ter part of the week he was heard from away
down in Pennsylvania finding fault with
Hoke Smiths Republican pension examiners
who had taken advantage of the

their pensions away. AT the hour of writing

the grayest fears were entertained by his
friends. If the unfortunate man returns to
his home and friends there is strong talk of
appointing commission to examine him
on the charge of presidential phobia and
have him duly committed until his strange
delusion has passed away.
Following the announcement that Foraker
has given Mckinley another slap by refus-
ing his consent to denomination of Nc
