The season of National political
conventions has arrived and matters
are shaping themselves for the presi-
Dental campaign which will soon be
on with not less than three regularly
nominated tickets. The Prohibition
party was the first TO lead off, and lis
convention was held in Pittsburg on
Thursday of last week. 1t was an
interesting meeting because OF the fact
that the party was disrupting, aud the
question Of an animated fight between
the silver and antisilver delegates was
settled before the convention assem-
bled. That declaration of feuds and
dissentlons in the party's ranks were
not over-drawn is evidenced by the
following dispatch from the scene OF
the convention :
PITTsBuRG. May 29.-About -
members, including the leaders OF the
new national party, organized last
night by the boilers from the Prohibi-
ton Convention, met at the Central

meet the expenses. Mrs. Helen Gou-
gar, Mrs. Richards, of OHIO, l.. b.
Logan, Of Ohio, who acted as chair

Mr.. Bentley asserted that he would
get 100000 votes from the Prohibi-

men would flock TO the new party.
