PANIC IN IRELAND.
Failure of the Harvest Is Apparently
Complete.

Failure of the Harvest Is Apparently
Complete.
+ LONDON, Sept. 8-A panic is spread
Ing throughout Ireland, over the terri
BILE prospect of the apparently COM
plete failure of the harvest. Reports
from parish priests from Counties
Clare, Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Upper
ary, Antrim, Armagh, Cavan, Derry,
Donegal, Down, Fermaragh, Mono
CHAN and Tyrone all tell the same pit
eous story of ruined crops, impending
restitution and famine. Blight has
everywhere wholly or mainly destroy
ed potatoes, while oats, which is the
next most essential crop to an Irish
farmer, have been battered down by
incessant rains and practically de-
Stroyed.
From Connemara county, Galway,
comes this heart-rending tale: 1.-THE
late long runs of harsh weather leaves
scarcely a vestige of hope to the poor
Connemara cotters The principal
crops raised in this locality, hay, oats
and potatoes, are virtually ruined, the
latter to an alarming extent. 1t is a
common observation around Clifden
that it is a full days work for a man to
dig one meal of potatoes for his fam
lily. and even then they can scarcely
be eaten
From Mallow, County Cork, situated
in the richest streak of land, known as
Golden Vein," the report is: 1.-THE oat
crop, which is the main dependence
of a vast majority of the farmers, is
entirely unfit for market purposes.
Acres are still seen spread out in the
sheaf, and cannot be bound or stalked.
The crop is now reduced to a condition
that fits only for the manure heap. The
potato crop is counted altogether
failure"
dispatch from Westmeath says:
"Incessant rains for the past month
have completely destroyed crops of
every description. What were month
ago smiling, notwithstanding fields, are
today blighted and ruined. The potato
crop is bad to rottenness. Oats and
kindred crops are in such a wretched
way that no yield can be expected

A TICKET IN OHIO
NATIONAL DEMOCRATS DECIDE TO
TAKE PART IN THE STATE
CAMPAIGN.
THOMAS BEERS, OF BUCYRUS.
THE NOMINEE FOR COVER
NOR.
IR. BYNUM is TO BE PRESENT.
Keynote for the Party Will Be
Sounded by the National Chair
man-The Platform.

COLUMBUS, Sept. S.-Quite a num-
Der of the delegates to the state con-
vention of the National Democratic
party arrived in the city this afternoon
and about fifty were present at the
Neill house tonight S. H. Holding, of
Cleveland, presided at the confer
ence, which was held behind closed
doors. The question of the ADVISABLE
ty of nominating a state ticket was
raised by Hon. Henry Apthorp, of
Cleveland, who led the opposition. The
reasons advanced for not nominating
a state ticket were purely of a local
nature, originating with the Cuyahoga
county delegates. They thought that if
a state ticket was nominated they
would stand a good chance of electing
one or more representatives in that
county. After canvassing the matter
thoroughly, the following committee
was appointed to decide what should
be done: S. H. Holding, Cleveland; T.
R. Finn, Columbus; Joseph Othwaite,
Columbus; M. D. Hanley. Delaware;
John H. Clark, Youngstown; Julius
Dexter, Cincinnati
Inc following committee on reSOlu-
tions was appointed: John H. Clark,
Youngstown; Mclean Smith. Dayton;
Charles Ashley, Toledo; julius Dex-
ter, Cincinnati; Henry Apthorp, Ashta-
bula.
The committee on nomination of
state ticket decided that ticket
should be placed in the field, there be-
ing only one dissenting vote on the
committee. Hon. John Hitchcock of
Youngstown, has positively refused to
be candidate for governor on the
ticket, and the place now lies between

viii Resume Coinage.

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-There is a large
demand upon the treasury for small coins to
assist in the movement of crops. Director
Presto says that the coinage of subsidiary sill
yer and minor coins will be continued until a
sufficient stock has been accumulated to meet
the current demand. The available number
of silver dollars in the treasury has been re-
duced to about 100000, and It is possible that
an order will be issued next week for coming
into silver dollars some of the bullion pur-
chased under the act of 1890. No silver dollars
have been coined for some time. Their coin
age will be resumed because they are needed
to meet the demand arising from the revival
of business.
