Lampkin held his breath, for Hendricks
coolly took his lens from his vest pocket

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
CLEVELAND, Ohio, August IA score
of democratic county conventions have been
held throughout Ohio, and nearly all have
thus far indorsed Bryan and the Chicago
platform.
1t is now evident that the state conven-
ton at Dayton next week will be controlled
absolutely by the silver wing of the party.
Mayor Mckisson's gubernatorial boom,

i've Endorsement of Senator Foraker and
the active and open opposition of Senator
Hanna, is attracting considerable atten-
ton in republican circles.
A conference of anti-Hanna leaders,
among them Attorney General Monnett,
was held at the Forest City House last
evening. Mr.. Monnett said:
IF Mayor McKisson were to become a
candidate for governor he would prove very
strong in all the large cities of the state on
account of his attitude toward the street
railroads and the many fights he has made
to prevent the city of Cleveland from CIV
ing away valuable franchises"
While the mayor declines to admit his gu
bernatorial aspirations, owing to the re-
moteness of the next republican convention,
his candidacy is regarded as a certainty

NO PROGRESS MADE.
The President Stin Considering g
Names for the Peace Com IN sion.


President Mckinley, it was said today by
close friends, has made no progress since
yesterday in the selection of members of
the peace commission Although in no hur-
ry about announcing the commission, he
would beNglad to make headway in getting
five suitable men. 1t. is thought he has
rendered several men the honor in the last
few days. 1t is Confidently claimed that
Senator German offered a place and
declined The mention of his name as
possible commissioner excited comment and
opposition among Maryland republicans.
The President Is now looking out for
some other prominent democrat to put on
the commission. EX-Representative Tucker
of Virginia is talked of for a place. He
recently had talk with the President. 1t
is said that the President prefers some
democrat of national prominence, but all
these are holding aloof from offers. Some
man not recognized as a national leader
may eventually be chosen.
Justice McKenna of the Supreme Court
was at the White House this morning but
he denied that anything had been said to
him about the peace commission. He said
that he was going away on a holiday trip
and called to say goodbye to the President.
Justices Brown and Harlan of the Supreme
Court are still talked of as good material
for the commission. One of them may be
