OHIO DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Unanfmity on Principles, Wide Dtf-
Ferences ON Men.

Columbus, Ohio, July 1.-The demo-
cratic state convention held here yester-
day was one of the most memorable po-
litieal occasions in the history of Ohio
It was convention of unanimity of prin-
ciples and differences on men, and espec-
tally on those who were candidates for
the places on the state ticket. In the
contest for favorites it was test of en-
durance, and the delegates took no recess
and were in session continually from 10
a. m. until late hour at night. 1t was a
free silver convention throughout. Every
candidate whose name was presented was
announced as orthodox on silver, and the
silver doctrine was the cardinal principle
for favorable consideration. While there
were some differences of opinion about
adopting the antitrust and the Cuban
resolutions, there was not a dissenting
voice in the convention to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio Of
Is to l without the cooperation of any
other nation. And the name of w. j.
Bryan was mentioned in some way by
every speaker as the only sure way of
bringing out chorus of applause.
While there was no place on the state
ticket accorded to silver republicans or
populists yet both elements co-operated
in the convention and an informal fusion
was temporarily perfected. The silver re-
publicans and populists are responsible
for having no representatives on the tick
ct, as they would not ask it. and stated
they were more interested in the platform
than in the offices.
The ticket nominated by the democ-
racy of Ohio is:
Governor-Horace L. Chapman
Lieutenant governor - Helville D..
Shaw.
Supreme judge. P. Spriggs.
Attorney general-W. H. Dore.
State treasurer-James f. Wilson.
Member board of public works-Peter
H. Degman.
School commissioner-B. H. Hard.
In addition to the state ticket nomi-
mated there is an implied arrangement for
John Mclean for senator, with the state
candidates as well as the party organiza-
ton for him.
The silver republicans held confer
ence at night and expressed indignation.
They said it was true they had announc-
ed they did not want place on the state
ticket, but the announcement was not
made until after they were told they
could not have it. They nominated a
separate ticket. The populist also an
nounced they would hold state conven-
ton and have separate ticket. The pro-
hibitionists will have separate ticket, so
there will be at least six state tickets in
the field.

of the Columbus Scale.

Columbus, Ohio, July 5.-A general
strike of the United Mine Workers of
America has been ordered by the national
executive board and also by the district
presidents. The strike is ordered to ell
force the scale of wages agreed upon for
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois

Mine Workers at the convention held in
this city January IL last. The scale
agreed upon at that convention was:
Pennsylvania, go cents per ton; Ohio, GO
cents; Indiana, go cents; Illinois, So
cents.
The national executive board is COM
posed of Fred Dilcher, David H. Jenny.
Harry Stephenson, James NJ Carson and
Patrick Dolan. The district presidents

M. Carson and Patrick Dolan. NJ. d.

ecutive board; John Kate, vice president
and w. c. Pearce, secretary. All these

The officers here say $4,000 men are
involved as the proposed strikers. Presi-
dent Ratchford says this is the best time
to settle the question of wages, as dur
ing the summer the men can make
enough off their little garden patches to
obtain subsistence; the needs of clothing
are not so great as in winter.

Other Preparations.

including Chief Wee Sug, are dead at
Malone's Point on Mile Laos lake, and
several others are expected to die as a

TROUBLE IN GRANT COUNTY.
oregon Settlers Burn n Sheen Camn
and Fire Upon n Herder.

Heppner, Or, June aG.-Serious trouble
is anticipated between sheepmen and set
tiers in the northeastern part of Grant
county. A party of IL settlers, armed
with Winchester rifles, stopped a band of
sheep belonging to Mr.. Thompson, resi-
dent of that county, and ordered the
herder to turn back. He continued to
advance, and they fired three or four
shots over his head and a volley into the
band OF sheep. The herder then turned
back, but the settlers fired another volley
INTO the sheep, and killed altogether
about 200.
A few days ago the settlers burned the
camp and outfit owned by Mr.. Thomp-
son and his herder. The loss altogether is
about $3.50. The settlers say they have
been promised immunity by the officials
OF Grant county for pretty much any
thing they may do short of taking hui
man life, but it is the general opinion
here that there will be bloodshed. The
county officials are populists.

THE TARBORO CYCLE CLUB
RAPIDLY GROWING ORGANIZATION WITH
MANY MEMBERS.
Mrs. {. D. Barnes, President, Mr., Hargroye
Secretay--A Swift Bicycle Track
The Annual May Races.

TarbOro can boast Of as fine a bicycle
club as any town in the State. This club
was permanently organized more than q
year ago and the number of it's members
has been rapidly increasing ever since,
until at the present time over one hun
dred and thirty, who claim active mem
bership, The president of the club is
Mrs. Il. j. Barnes, q most enthusiastic
/ cyclist and who takes the greatest in
terest in the welfare Of the club. Mr.. w.
+. Hargroye is secretary and treasurer,
and the club did we'll in making this Sc
lection. Mr.. Hargrove has been using a
wheel for several years and he takes
| special pride in always looking out for
the wheelmen. The present bicycle track
| 7s three-eighths Of a mile long. and il ia
due largely to Mr.. Hargrove's endeavors.
and but one exists.
THE BICYCLE TRACK.
Owing to the solid nature of the soil
in the Town Commons, it was an easy
matter to construct one Of the neatest
and swiftest bicycle tracks in North
Carolina. There is no sand to wade
| through. There is no soft marshy ground
to annoy, but the land is hard, and when
properly attended to makes a model sur
face for a track
This track is three eighths of a mile
long, and OF an oblong shape. The cor
ners at both ends are safely made, and
the riders are free from danger, even at
the fastest speed.
This track is three-eighths Of a mile
| long and more than FIVE hundred dollars
have been spent on it, and the
bicycle club keeps it in a model condi-
| ton always.
MAY RACES.
So great was the enthusiasm this
spring in TarbOro over bicycles and the
number OF wheels having reached such
great proportions, several Of our young
men decided to have bicycle races on the
fourth Of May. This movement was en-
dorsed by the Tarboro Bicycle Club and
at once became the topic of the day long
| before races were to come off, and when
| the day for the races did come, not only
were the instigators of this movement
surprised, but the whole town, at the
crowd that came to witness the days
sport. The crowd was estimated to be
fifteen hundred people
/ give the names of few of the fastest
riders:
Glenny Hodges-3s mile dash.
Mark Cherry-3 mile.
Tandem race-Hedges and Savage
s-mile dash.
These races have now become regular
annual institutions, and will be held in
Tarboro every May.
