THE REPUBLICAN
COUNTY CONVENTION.

1t seems that The HERALD reporter
was very much misinfofmed regard
ing the republican convention which
was held last Saturday night. In
the first place, we are informed that
the contesting factions were COM
posed of all straight republicans,
there being but one oily white re-
publican present, or but one in the
county, and that solitary one is
George More. The disagreement was
caused by the election for chairman.
Fer this position Col. II. NJ. Field
was nominated, the nomination be-
ing made by G. +. Tilghman and
seconded by John &. Stucke. II. b.
Rentfro was then put in nomination
BY Col. W. n. Linton and seconded
by d. Buitereira. A vote was then
taken and Mr.. Rentfro declared
elected. Those supporting Col. Field
claimed that their nominee should
have been elected, and, as we under
stand, called for count of the vote
and this was refused, whe-eupon
they declined 10 participate further
in the proceedings and withdrew
from the hall. They then held Il
separate convention and elected del
egates TO the various republican con-
ventions TO be held in the state.
These delegates are c. II. Maris, F.
E. Starck, II. NJ. Field, John Stucke,
Teclo Cortez and Prince Merry.
These gentlemen are straight repub-
licans and not Oily whites" as pre-
viously reported in THE HERALD.
Had the reporter but thought, he
must have known that they were not
oily Whites" Mr.. Maris having been
prominent candidate for judge of
the supreme court on the last repub-
lican state ticket, and the others
having long been allied with the
regular republican organization in
this county.
Ifthere are any further corrections
to be made, by either side concerned,
TIE HERALD will be pleased to pub
fish the same.

GIodness Comes

XGTith a better understanding OF the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so mary forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to eonstipated eondi-
ton OF the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why it IS the only
remedy with millions of families. and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laXa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease. one
may be commended to the most slSillful
physicians, but If in need Of 4 laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere, Syrupof
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

p. J. Lewis. a negro forty-two years DID,.
living at No. 2S7 West Seventh street, be-
came involved in a difficulty with the Hart
family which resulted in him being locked
up in the station house on the charge Of
assault and battery with intent TO kill.
Little John Hart. only fourteen years old.
accompanied him to the lookup and was
charged with shooting with intent to kill.
Since the death of Mr.. Hart, about five
months ago, Lewis has been taking his
meals at Mrs. Harris. and as a sort of a
son, has been paying her some attention.
Mrs. Hart owns the house she lives IN and
another piece of property in the ~neighbor-
hood. Lewis's familiarity with Mrs. Hart
has been very much against the will of her
children, and once before they have had
trouble with him. Mrs. Hart has realized
the antiDathy of her children for the fell
low, but it seems has not cared much what
they thought.
Last night Lewis went to Harris home

in wrenching it from him before he had a

ANOTHER SERIOUS RIOT
FIGHT BETWEEN STRIKERS AND
NONUNIONISTS AT CLEVELAND.
Three Men Shot and Badly Wounded
and Another Struck i'm the Face
with a Missile.

CLEVELAND, o.; Aug. 14.-Three men
were shot and one badly hurt in a conflict
which occurred this evening between a
party Of the Brown company strikers and
several nonunion men who were going
home from the works. Two OF the
wounded men are nonunionists; the third
is a striker and the fourth a spectator.
The names of the injured are:

may die.
nue., a byStander. struck in the face with
a telegraph insulator, badly hurt.
The trouble occurred nearly two miles
from the works. at the corner Of Wake
Park and East Madison avenues A num-
Der of the nonunionists live in that vicinity.
Eight or ten of them were going home
from the works together. Just as they
turned the corner a crowd of strikers. who
had been hiding behind a saloon. attacked
them. Stones were hurled and George
Plumb, one of the nonunionists, pulled a
revolver and fired. Plumb was then shot,
firing became general and at least twenty
shots were exchanged. The fight lasted but
a few minutes and as soon as il was over
the strikers disappeared. The police had
not anticipated any trouble i'm that quarter
and it was some time before they had ar
rived on the scene and began an investiga-
ton. Ambulances took the injured men to
hospitals or their homes. and the search
for the men who did the shooting was
begun.
Later in the evening the police arrested
j. H. Whitlan. a striking machinist. FORM
erly employed by the Brown company He
was seen to throw a revolver. all the
cartridges in which had been fired, through
an open door into a barber shop.
The Brown company strike has been
extended to Pittsburg. The strikers
learned a few days ago that the Schaife
Foundry and Machine Company. of Pitts
burg. was doing work for the Brown COM
pany and they sent a representative there.
He sent back word to-day that he would
probably succeed In getting the pattern
makers, machinists and iron molders of the
Schaife company to strike.
