Jerry Carpenter, of Meigs county, one
of the best known Republican members
of the last general assembly, is among
the throngs who visited the state fair
Mr.. Carpenter spoke freely concerning
the Democratic nominee for governor.
'T feel that the Democratic party is
entitled to my congratulations for the
choice it made of Hon. John R, Mclean
to lead the ticket.
"Mr Mclean is a thorough gentle
man, a good business man and an astute
politician. He will make a hard fight
for the election, and will be hard to
beat, though think we shall beat him.
"The Democratic party seems to be
thoroughly united this year, and L do
not hear of any soreness. Down in my
county the Democrats are grinning
clear to the points of their shoulders
The same condition seems to prevail
everywhere. / think the campaign will
be one of the most vigorous ever seen in
the state"

WARM CAMPAIGN
TO BE CONDUCTED
Excellent Executive Committee
Appointed at Columbus.
DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE MEETS
And Makes Selections That Are Entirely
Satisfactory to the Candidates
and the Party at
Large,
Special to News-Democrat,


Columbus, O., Sept. 9.-Seven men
with a chairman and secretary will
manage the Democratic state campaign
this fall. These men who will compose
the State executive committee are:
DIR. Herman j. Groesbeck, of Cincin-
natl; Frank II. Southard, of GAINESVILLE;
Charles N. Haskell, of Ottawa; O. 5.
Rockwell, Of Kent; Frank Harper, of
Mt. Vernon; D. D. DOnavin, Of Deshler,
and William Shine, of Sidney. James
P. Seward of Mansfield, will be chair
man. because Mclean and the other
nominees want him. and the secretary
will be chosen when the executive com
mittee meets.
These meetings were all decided upon
at a meeting of the State central com
mittee held here Friday afternoon,
Among those present was Ed. S. Raft,
of the Eighteenth district. In the alb
sence of the regular chairman Ike Hill,
Of Newark, presided. Every man
ON THE STATE TICKET
with the exceptions of Judges A. w.
Patrick of New Philadelphia, nominee
for lieutenant governor and f. d. Ma
lin, of Painesville, nominee for member
of the board of public works, was pres
ent and appeared before the committee.
Mr. Mclean was there but a moment,
simply long enough to say that he
trusted an executive committee would
be chosen representing the best inter-
ests of the party, and in this the re-
mainder of the nominees agreed.
They also RECOMMENDED that the eX-
ecutive committee be asked to make Mr..
Seward chairman. Beyond the choosing
of a committee to manage the campaign
the business done consisted of hearing
the details of a contest in Darke county
as to which of the central committees
should be recognized and then deciding
that all contests of such a character
should be referred to the executive
committee with full power to act.
The report of the committee upon the
plan of party organization was refer
red to a committee consisting of Il. j.
Kenney, of Mercer; Louis Bernard, of
Cincinnati; =. NJ. Cullison, of New Lex
ington; Joseph Bowling, of Dayton; and
James Ross, of Dayton, to report at a
future meeting Of the state central COM
mittee.
These were all the questions deter
mined upon except to instruct Lewis
Reemlin, of Cincinnati the secretary,
to instruct the members of the new eX-
ecutive committee of their election.
The latter committee will meet within a
short time and settle the matter of the
campaign opening and select permanent
headquarters. The campaign will prob
ably be started some time during the
present month.
Mr.. Mclean himself had a busy day
He attended the State fair, took lunch
con with Col. Kolbourne, visited the
committee meeting in the afternoon, and
left for the east in the evening.

years in prison,

Rennes, Sept. 9.-Eight thousand arm
ed men were ready this morning to pre-
serve the peace. Everything showed
that something unusual was going on
When the court convened Dreyfus was
calm. There was no indication on MS
face of hope or fear. Demange resumed
his speech for the defense and analyzed
the bordereau, showing that either
Dreyfus could not have known the Sc
crets which it contained, or else that
many others must have had equal
knowledge. After other analysis OF the
evidence Demange said to the judges:
Gentlemen, you must choose between
Dreyfus and Esterhazy." He then
dropped his pathetic manner and began
arguing coldly but forcibly.
Outside the soldiers could be heard
and seen passing UP and down in gilt
tering pomp. Inside one voice was
heard pleadings earnestly for man
whom that army is trying to ruin. 1t
was a startling picture Of the whole sit
uation. Demange declared that the
prosecution was determined to make
the bordereau fit Dreyfus at any cost
and had thereby misinterpreted evil
dence. Major Carriere interrupted him
with denial After recess, Demange
took up the handwriting experts tes-
timony. Then he drew himself to-
gether for the peroration which was
magnificent. His closing words were:
"From first to last he has been what
you gentlemen of the supreme council,
with whom reposes the most solemn
duties, Frenchmen like him, fellow SOL
diers of his, thrilling like him with love
of country and of justice, will today de-
clare him to be an innocent man."
AS Demange finished he sank exhaust
ed in his chair. There was tremen-
dous burst of applause. After few
more words, the court adjourned until
three this afternoon, at which time ii
is believed the verdict will be an
nounced. AS Dreyfus passed out he

BLOW TO POTTERIES.
Turning the Course of Natural
Gas From City of East
Liverpool.

East Liverpool, Sept. S.-Last night
it was announced that Pittsburg capital
through Darr e. Moore, brokers of that
city, had secured the controlling inter-
est in the Ohio Valley Gas Co., the larg-
est gas concern in this section. The
price paid was over $400, 200. 1t has been
reported here for some time that move
would be made to divert the gas supply
from this city to Pittsburg, but the Ohio
Valley Gas Co. officials strenuously deny
that the change will effect the supply
here. Such move would be disastrous
to the East Liverpool potteries, as they
use gas instead of coal in the kilns. Gas
saves them thousands Of dollars a year
in fuel bills.

Canal Fulton, September 9.-The
North Lawrence Republicans have for
long time been furnishing majOrties
and have received very little in return,
so when it came to the question as towho
would be the land appraiser for the town
ship, North Lawrence had candidate.
A large portion of the wealth of the
township is located in and around
North Lawrence and the Republicans
of that place thought that their claim
to recognition would surely be recogniz-
ed on this occasion. But it was not.
The Canal Fulton clique put up Jonas
Eschliman at the primary that was held
last Saturday and James Brown, the
North Lawrence candidate, who had
reason to believe he would have very
little opposition, was quietly knitted and
sent back home with hardly a vote from
the Fultonites. 1t was all worked in
the dark and devious manner chaTaC-
teristic of the North Lawrence Repub-
licans and the North Lawrence men
naturally feel that they have not been
fairly treated. They come up regularly
with whatever they claim they will do
and always keep their word and they
think Fulton Republicans should eX-
hibit the same trait. The turn down Of
Brown will be heard from later as it
is only one of the many incidents that
show that the North Lawrence Repub-
licans are not considered worth much
but to vote the ticket. When there are
offices to be had other fellows take
them.

Rennes, Sept. 9.-The session of the
court was resumed at o'clock. The
police and military redoubled their
watchfulness. Major Carrier arose and
said: ct submit myself to the council
with few final words. Gentlemen, you
have but two choices. One is acquit-
tai, the other is conviction. Your
duty will be rendered fearlessly, loyal
and intelligently. You know the law
and your duty as soldiers to France.
The whole world is awaiting your de-
cision." The court then retired to de-
liberate. The court in an inside room
discussed the verdict and then voted,
beginning with the officers lowest in
rank. A verdict was found and COM
mitted in writing. A majority of the
board voted to condemn him. The
courts verdict sentenced Dreyfus to
ten years Imprisonment in the fort
