running. 1t was the first time it had
been in the south, and although had
seen it in New York, / had some Curl
osity to see it in the south at this par

the play is a northern spy, and he has
the best of it in every situation, while
the southern fellow who is opposing
him is forever undergoing humiliation
and failure, although he is honest. |

that it would give its sympathy to the

was a marked absence OF enthusiasm.

There came the first real test. The
spying lover of the north turned
clever trick on the southern agent.
That started the first applause, and the
act brought about several curtains, as

Revision of Banking System Necessary
For Our New Commerce.
SEATTLE, Aug. 3l.-Congressman Nc.
Cleary OF Minnesota, a member of the
house committee on banking and cur.
rency, who is visiting here, said in an
interview:
"There will be several important
questions to come up at the next ses
sion Of congress. We will have the
problem of the Philippines with us, and
a recognition Of the fact that we are
now world power and will hereafter
be consulted with in matters concern.
ing the nations. Also that we are
greater nation, reaching out after new
commerce. This latter fact implies
two or three things. We must have
the best machinery of commerce. We
must have sufficient fupply of Amer.
lean ships to carry all American goods
and we must have such revision of our
banking system as will give us the
poper instruments to carry on this
worldwide commerce.
"The most important thing is to be
able to issue drafts at New York, San
Francisco or Seattle payable in
Hong Kong, without our having tc
pay tribute to the financial exchanges
of London. We have more capital in
this country at the present day than
Great Britain ever had, yet we, as a
part OF the whole world, must pay trib.
ute to her. want to see New York
or some other American city the clear.
ing house Of the world, as it has tn
right to be.
''One of the faults is in our banking
laws, which do not permit the estab.
lishment of any branch of national
bank. This law should be repealed. 1t
is one essential factor in our develop.
ment, that our banking houses have
branches in all countries Of the world.
Then we can carry on commerce with
the world as we should"

M'LEAN WON OUT
Cincinnati Editor Has a Walk
over for the Democratic
Nomination
For the Ohio Governorship.
Clear Majority on First
Ballot.
Resolutions Endorse Bryan and
the Chicago Platform in Its
Entirety.

GAINESVILLE, O., Aug. 31.-John R.
Mclean was nominated for governor
on the first ballot, receiving 4O111a votes.
Kilbourne received 227, Rice 291s, Has
kell 55, Sherwood 81, Seward 25 and
Lentz 6.
After the ballot the convention ad-
journed to 4p. IN.
ZANEsvlLLE, o., Aug. 31.-Memorial
Hall was packed when Hon. w. S.
Thomas, chairman of the Democratic
state committee, called the Democratic
state convention to order. Very many
were unable to gain admission.
A. j. Andrews presented a gavel from
timber on the lands in this county
where Thomas A. Hendricks, S. S. Cox,
Louis Cass and Hugh j. Jewett were
born and reared.
Chairman w. S. Thomas accepted
the gavel and made an address on the
work Of the last campaign and the great
contest that was to be waged in the
year preceding the presidential election.
Judge w. P. Mooney, temporary
chairman of the convention, was then
introduced and was received with Il
great ovation.
There were two reports by the COM
mittee on credentials. The vote on the
adoption of the majority report was
437 yeas and 303 noes. The Cuyahoga
delegation was still prohibited from
voting on this ballot.
With the Sc Cuyahoga votes added to
the 437, the Mclean men then had 493
to 800 for the combined opposition and
took everything without further con-
test.
The report of the committee on per-
Tuesday night, was amended so as to
make permanent the temporary organi-
zation. This continued Hon. Thomas
j. Cogan as secretory, as we'll as Judge
Mooney as chairman, and left the anti
Mclean men without representation.
The only concession that has been made
was on the committee on permanent or
ganization, but that report was not
adopted, and the temporary organiza-
ton was continued.
The platform adopted contains a
strong arrangement OF the administra-
ton at nearly all points, the Philippine
and antitrust planks being especially
strong. It also declares for the initia-
tive and referendum and for election of
senators by popular vote.
The Chicago platform and Bryan are
endorsed in the following words, which
introduce the resolutions:
1--WE heartily reatfirm the entire Chi
cago platform of 1896; and we especially
emphasize the financial plank therein,
and we continue to demand the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and
gold as equal in primary money at the
ratio of IL to l, independent of all other
nations in the world.
"The Hon. William j. Bryan still re-
tains our entire confidence and we de-
1nand his denomination in 1900"

ABSENT a YEAR.

ABSENT \ YEAR.
The North Dakota regiment will
have been absent from the state about
sixteen months when they return to
the state and in the service of the
United States about month more
than that-having nearly served out
their two years of enlistlnent-and
Fargo the first Of May-some of them
Of the state. And month from that
time they were en- route to Frisco for
a trip half way around the world.
The regiment went into camp at Fargo
the first of May, 1898, from there to
Frisco the first Of June, and left there
the last OF June for the Philippines,
arriving there early in August. They
took part in the capture OF Manila
Aug. 13, and garrisoned the town un-
til the attack by the insurgents Feb
ruary 1. Since that time the regiment
has been busy. 1t has participated
in General Lawton's famous eXpedi-
tions through the island, and wound
up at Manila the latter part of May,
went then on another excursion, as
sisted in the capture of Morong, and
garrisoned the town until ordered in
to Manila to prepare for sailing. They
have seen plenty of service.
The regiment will remain in San
Francisco probably three weeks be-
fore mustered out and discharged, and
that will bring them back to the state
about September %.
The boys stopped two days at Nag
asaki, Japan. Captain Gearey wrote
from there: We dropped anchor in
the harbor yesterday Saturday, Aug.
D about p. IN. and went ashore at
once. This country is very pictur-
eSque. Nature has not done much
for this particular region but the Japs
have. They are very frugal and in
dustrious, as you know, and the most
cleanly l have ever seen-not except
ing our own well loved Americans. In
fact that is one of the conspicuous
features Of the people and place. We
ride in jinrickshas. which are very
small carriages for one person and are
drawn by one Jap, in thills; they run
for hours in the hot sun and seem
tireless. The dress here is more all
