Columbus, o., June 2.-The Republic
can state convention today nominated
George X. Nash, the favorite of Sena-
tor Hanna, for governor, and ex-Con-
gresham John a. Caldwell, the favor
ite of George B. Cox, for lieutenant gov
ernOr, with the other five nominations
distributed among those of less distinct
party affiliations.
What was generally called the Han
na-COx combination controlled a large
majority of the S13 delegates, but it did
not exercise it's power beyond the NOM
nations of Nash and Caldwell. The
conference at which Senator Hanna,
Mr.. Cox and others reached a mutually
clude till a. m, an hour before the
convention assembled.
1t was all over then with Mr..
Daugherty and other candidates, and
it was known that the convention would
conclude its work without any such
prOtracted session as had been antici-
pated.
Guilbert and Huffman were nominal
ed for second terms without opposi-
ton When some of the delegates
raised the cry of slate" George B. Cox
himself was the first to break the slate
by changing the eighty-siX votes of
Hamilton, which he had cast on the
first and second ballots for Judge Hull,
for attorney general. to James NJ.
Sheets. Judge Hull had been generally
considered as a sure winner, as he had
been slated. In this case the antitrust,
as well as the anti-slate element, cut
quite a figure

Theory of Police.

The suspects gave their names as Will
lard Green and John II. Porter and the
former was on the passenger list as Will
lard Reed. The officials scout the idea
that Purser Smith is in any way impli-
Gated in the theft. He has grown gray in
the service of the company. and he is
declared to be absolutely above susoi-
cion in the matter.
The latest theory of the police is that
the missing box was never in the steel
tank. The boxes are heavy, each weigh
ing about ninety pounds. and as thev
were brought on board they were checked
by the purser and chief officer and car
red to the strong room by two porters.
1t is now believed that game of film
fam was played at this stage. and the
box. instead of being placed in its proper
receptacle. was opened and the money
either taken on shore before the steamer
sailed from Sydney or else divided among
the confederates who were among the
passengers

them to be confidence men. connected
with the theft in some, as yet, unex-
planned way.

Endorsement of Mckinley.

Isaac b. Cameron, the successful con-
testant for treasurer of the state, was
generally credited with being on the
slate, and he secured the Hanna-Cox
vote.
Outside of the unusually animated
contests on the nominations, the fea-
ture of the convention was it's univer-
sal endorsement of President Mckinley.
When the plank commencing the pres
ident for the judicious modification of
the civil service rules, recently promul-
gated" was read, there was very en-
thusiastic demonstration.
In presenting the name of MIR.
Daugherty, Mr.. Holcomb of Cleveland
said he hoped the convention would
tolerate no dictation. And when Mr..
Daugherty was called out after the
nomination of Judge Nash. the defeated
candidate said. among other things,
that he hoped he would at least be al
lowed to live as private citizen in the
Republican ranks
Outside of these utteranceS there
were today none of the stings that are
common at conventions. and that were
frequently heard on previous days this
week in both public and private utter
ances of leaders.
The Platform.
The following platform was adopted:
The Republican party of Ohio re-
affirms the principles declared by the
St. Louis platform.
We earnestly endorse the great ad-
ministration of President Mckinley. 1t
is distinguished to a remarkable degree
in the history of national administra-
tions-

tration and as result Of the Demo-

Cry of Slate Raised.

The proceedings had been quiet and
orderly till the order for the nomina-
tion of attorney general was reached.
There were nine names presented for
this nomination, among them being
Judge NJ. l.. Hull of Sandusky, whose
name had been presented earlier in the
session for the nomination for governor
The first ballot was proceeded with in
such a manner as indicated the NOM
ination of Judge Hull, when an appar-
emily organized chorus began the yell
of 'Slate!" 'Slatei" and the proceedings
were interrupted by the cries of
'Slate," every time votes were an
nounced for Hull.
Both the first and second ballots were
without result. When the third ballot
began the cries of -Slate.' were re-
newed in a deafening chorus, and it was
then that George B. Cox changed the
eighty-six votes of Hamilton county
from Judge Hull to James H. Sheets.
This caused a stampede and the rules
were suspended and Sheets was nomin-
ated by acclamation before the call of
the counties was completed.
This was the first break in the So
called Hanna-CoX slate. and it caused
the convention TO go wild. The dele
gates continued to yell 'Slate!' when
the order of supreme judge was
reached. The names of j. p. Bradbury
of Pomeroy. w. u. Davis of Marion and
c. c. Shearer of Xenia were presented
Judge Bradbury has served two terms
of six years each on the supreme bench.
and the ''third-term' idea had pre-
viously been defeated in the cases of
State Treasurer S. B. Campbell and At
torney General Frank Monnett- The
cries of Third term" and of '.Slatei"
were set up against Judge Bradbury.
and, on the third ballot, W. u. Davis
was nominated

OUR POPULATION IN 1900.
A Washington Estimate Places it al
13,OOO,OOO.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Preparations
ire already considerably advanced fol
The enumeration Of the population o,
The United States. In advance of tn
actual count. which will occur during
June, 1900, there is much speculation
as to the actual increase during the
decade now closing, and among peo-
pie especially characterized by an
,verreverberating national pride
there is a popular tendency to over
state the present and Immediately
prospective population. 1t is un-
common to hear or read the phrase
eighty mliiio~ people," a newspaper
has collected estimates of population
on January ], 1899, made principally
by governors of states, which agere-
gate u, 503.23l, and, in spite of the
marked decline in immigration dur
ing the present as compared with the
decade Immediately preceding, the
impression that the twelfth census
will show a population aggregatinR
not less than ! 900, 900 or rs, zoo, 900 is
almost universal.
An estimate prepared by the gov
eminent actuary Of the treasury de-
p%artnent. published by the bureau Of
statistics Of that department and
made the basis of several important
calculations in the latter Office, gives
support to the popular expectation.
Ibis estimate places the population
or June l, 1898, at n, 3s9, 900, thus as
suming an increase of II, 766, $50, or
ls7 per cent since the census OF
1890. A very rough calculation in
volving minimum Of mathematical
knowledge, yet D that would not be
widely inaccurathe for SO short q
period il the original premises
were correct, shows that this es.
Innate involves an average annual
increase of 1,47l, 900, which, il
carried to the end Of the decade, would
give a total population at that time Of
T,33a,00o A more careful study Of
the Treasurer's estimates, taking into
consideration those published for each
year since 1899, indicates that the &C.
tuary ssumes that the movement Of
population conforms to WHAT is known
as an ~algebraic curve Of the third de-
gree. Such a curve may be prolonged
indefinitely, and it involves but a COM
paratively simple ejaculation to find
that the Treasury estimate Of popula-
tion for the year 1900 must, unless,th
present method is radically modified,
be between Y, 675, 900 and II, $50, 900.
Taking the mean Of these figures
the increase from 1890 to 1900 would
be 24.0a per cent, which is to be COM
pared with "a. 86 per cen from 1880 to
1890 and &c. "a per cent from 1860 to
1870.
With all necessary allowances, how
ever, it seems safer to predict that the
population of the United States in
June, 1000, will not exceed "A, $50, 500;
that it is even more likely to fall
somewhat below that figure. Emiyra-
ton having been treated as negligible,
such as has taken place. will tend to
secure this result. Whatever errors
appear to have been made in estimat-
ing in the foregoing, the aggregates
Of particular elements Of population
will, in very large measure, balance
each other.

NEW YQRK'S STRlKEATA AN END
stroot Car Mon Loose in Brooklyn and
Manhattan.

g.. SuAuuASIAu. -
New YORK, July 2i.-The street
railway strike in Brooklyn is ended.
The time schedules of the various sur
face railways are PRACTICAL restored
and maintained throughout the city
and suburbs. The strike in Manhat.
tan borough is also practically at an
end. Cars are running on regular
schedules and there are no longer dis.
turbances of order.
General Master Workman Parsons
admitted last night hat the strike in
Manhattan and Brooklyn were over
when he said, after the Grand Central
palace meeting:
N more men will be called out for
the reason that it would be unwise to
ask them to quit work when we have
not sufficient money to give them for
the living expenses Of themselves and
families"
Master Workman Pines, who is in
charge of the strike in Brooklyn, said:
This has ceased to be a strike and
has become a political fight
Aside from creased rails and the oc-
c%asional explosion off torpedo, which
had been placed upon the tracks in
the hope to Brighten new motormen,
nothing hindered the general opera
ton of the roads last night. Tho po-
lice still guard the BARS on lines pass
ing through neighborhoods where in
reference might occur.

showed hat the child had been born
at 4 o'clock in the morning without the
presence of physician Or nurses. and
within an hour the husband deposited
it where it was found. An order was
issued for the arrest of Tarrant, and
an officer was sent to the graders

found. He returned to his home at
noon and was taken into custody.
