Louisville. KY, Sept. 1.-The nomi-
nation of John &. Mclean for governor
by the democratic state convention of
Ohio is matter that concerns the
democrats of the whole country, for it
is said to be step in the prearranged
campaign of certain democratic leaders
against the denomination of ". J.
Bryan in 1900. It is the confident be-
lief of astute politicians at Cincinnati
that while Goebel and Mclean are
both professedly followers of Mr..
Bryan, they are part of movement
which includes Croker and Tammany

and Carter II. Harrison, of Chicago.
