Victors Disposed To Be
Liberal.
Other Names win BE Presented
With Usual 0ratory.

GAINESVILLE. Ohio. August 20. o.--Although
the Democratic state ticket will not be
nominated till tomorrow. the result was
decisively forscasted in the preliminary
meetings this evening. The Mclean men
carried large majority OF the q con !.
gressional districts and will control not
only the convention, but also all the party
machinery in Ohio until the next Presi-
dential election. Since the members OF all
the committees have been selected and
through them all the officers OF the con-
vention as well as those who will be in
charge Of the campaign, the McLsan
men are disposed TO be liberal to their
opponents. After 1t was found that No
Lean had at the district meetings secured
control Of all the committees, many called
en- him tonight and promised support
from unexpected quarters. McLsan and
his managers then advised that all the
candidates for governor be voted for on
the flrst ballot as originally Instructed
and 1t was even suggested that there
might be two ballots, SO as to give as
many complimentary votes as possible
to the opposing candidates. IL was
thought that this would make them eel
better for the campaign and also show
what foundation there was for the claims
Of some of the Columb bus managers of
Colonel Kilbourne. At the same time
1t would afford an opportunity for an
enthusiastic and dramatic scene when
all the scattering delegates flooked to the
Mclean standard on the second ballot.
Mr. Mclean was quite modest In no.
knowledging the ovAtions this evening.
The visiting clubs and delegations
serenaded him. He acknowledged their
congratulations with thanks, but made
no speech. Colonel KilhouTne was equnl-
ly happy in his Acknowledgements of sere-
nades. Some candidates for other places
on the state ticket had very lively ienon-
strations in their interest and most of
them were also enthusiastic for Bryan
and Mclean.
1t is quite probable that the name OF
Mr. Mclean viii be presented to the con-
vention very briefly.
General A. j. Warner will present the
name Of Colonel Kilbourne in stirring
speech and much eloquence will Re
expended on the other candidates.
