ALL THE LEADERS
i. ON THE GROUND. D
Some Lively Times Promised in
Ohio Republican Convention
Which Meets To-day.
NASH, DAUGHERTY AND JONES
The Leading Forces for Governor.
Senator Hanna Busy With
Conferences.

COLUMBUS, o., May s1.-Wlth Sena-
tors Foraker and Hanna, the Ohio Re-
publican congressman and other leaders
all here tonight, the indications are
that there may be two imposing states
on the state ticket arranged before the
Republican state convention assemblies
tomorrow, but nothing definite can be
learned as to the combinations tonight.
Senator Hanna arrived here early in
the day when he was kept busy confer
ring with the candidates for governor
and others. but the first thing he did
after supper was to have u long con-
ference with George B. Cox. Afterward
Mr.. Cox conferred with Nash, Dnugh-
erty and other candidates, and also with
ex- Chairman Kurtz and other leaders,
but he still holds secret his plans for
Friday.
While Cox was known to be In con-
ference with Senator Hanna there were
rumors that Cox had quarrelel with
kurtz and McKIsson, and even with
Daugherty, but such was not the case.
Cox is on Intimate terms with all Of
them. There are still three leading
forces represented by Nash. Daugherty
and the fav0rite Of Kurtz, the latter not
yet named, although the Indications to-
day have pointed strongly to Lieutenant
Governor Jones as the man. 1t is esti-
mated that the first ballot will stand:
Nash, 275; Daugherty. 265; Jones. As;
with the other votes between Douglas,
Durbin. Hall. Nevin, Smyser. Orr, Shat
tue and Brigham, and 407 necessary to
nominate. The feature Of the skirmish-
ing tonight has been the boom given
Nash since Senator Hanna's confer
ences and the subsequent tendency Of
the field to concentrate against Nash.
In addition to the unusual number Of
candidates contest!ng for nominations.
there are 2O3 OF the sl3 delegates con-
testing for seats from the following
counties: Adams. 6: Allen. G; Cuyahoga.
5S; Franklin. "a; Hamilton. Sc: High
land, 4; Preble. 6. The contest for seats
was the main thing to-day and on the
report OF the committee on credentials
may depend the selection of the state
ticket, especially the nomination for
governor and everything else. 1t Is
thought that thirty-four delegates from
Franklin and the Sc Cox delegates from
Hamilton Will be seated on prima facle
evidence, but testimony will be offered

THE COURT
OF CESSATION
Hears More Facts About the lille.
gal Conviction of Captain
Drcyfus.
THREE SECRET DOCUMENTS,
Two Were Forgerics and the
Other did not Apply to
Dreyfus ut All.

| PARIS. May 31.-The vicinity of the
palace of Justice was almost deserted
| to-day when the court Of cessation re-
sumed hearing the arguments In the ap-
plication for a revision OF the Dreyfus
trial. Many Of the public seats in the
court were empty.
NJ. Manau. the procurator general,
continued his speech. which was inter-
rupted yesterday by the adjournment OF
the court. He contended that Major
Count Esterhazy was the author of the
bordereau which has figured SO promi-
ncntly In the case. and not Dreyfus. In
the course OF his remarks he said that
whoever was guilty somebody had COM
mitted the crime OF treason. Esterhazy,
however, he pointed out, having been
acquitted of the authorship of the bor-
dercau, cannot again be prosecuted on
this ground even K he were hundred
times guilty.
Later NJ. Manau said: What proof
exists that there has been an act Of
| treason Of Il nature tending to compro-
mise the security of the state? Are we
not, perhaps, In the presence of num-
Der Of un!mportant documents, as Gen.
eral Mercier thought, and. consequently
| In the presence OF mysterious hoax,
an audaclous piece OF swiRdl,ng perpe-
trated by the author OF the bordereau
on his foreign correspondent? This Is a
terrible question. and one which In
wolves the most painful presumption
that Of the martyrdom of the man
whose innocence seems established by
several new facts" E
NJ. Manau's address was largely n
repetition of the statements of the re-
porter Of the case. There was the same
array of facts and similar deductions
therefrom. The procurator generals
| analysis Of the secret documents was
very close and he wound up with an
emphatic declaration that there was
nothing In the secret dossier to incrlmI-
nate Dreyfus, saying: I'VE do not un-
derstand why there was such delay in
submitting:t Them to Investigation" This
statement caused q spnauon.
Continuing. NJ. Manau remarked: "Of
the three secret documents by which NJ.
Caraignnc CORNER minister OF wary
sought to justify the condemnation. two
were forgeries and the third does not
| apply to Drcyfus."
This declaration. uttered with Impress
s!re solemuity. had an Immense effect
upon the audience.
In conclusion NJ. Manau said: I'VE as
scrt that several new facts exist OF such
n nature as to prove Dreycus innocent.
Therefore, may It please the court to
qunsh the Judgment of December %,
1894, and send Dreyfus as defendant
before such court-martial Us the court
ma5- decide"
This statement caused applause which
the president suppressed by ordering
the court to be cleared.
Later the court adjourned
