1t Will Take Several Ballots to Reach
Decision.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 29.-Twenty-
nine delegates to the republican state con-
vention are TO be chosen yet.
Eight hundred and thirteen have been Sc
lected. Today Harry Daugherty says he
will have $50 votes on third ballot. ]. G.
Nash claims 275. This leaves 1sS votes for
kurtZ, Cox and half dozen for minor gu
bernatorial candidates. An unbiased esti-
mate, however, made this morning, gives
the following votes of candidates as 1t
will appear on the first ballot: Nash, 1877;
Daugherty, 149: Kurtz, ZIG; Douglass, 40;
A. w. Jones, 10, not counting Trumbull
Nevils, IS; Durham, 23; Hull. II; Orr. 10;
Smyser Z, Swing, 7. The Kurtz vote of 1O6
is believed to be available eventually for
whatever anti-Hanna candidate may devel-
OPP the most strength.
kurtH Votes for Jones.
In the beginning 1t will be divided among
the stats administration candidates, and
Lieut.. Gov. Jones will get many Kurtz
votes in this part of Ohio. 1t is stated that
many of the delegates who admire Kurtz
for the fight he has made will cast their
ballots for him There are contests involv
ing 1863 seats-Hamilton, 49, Cuyahoga, IS;
Highland, T. and Allen. Adams and Preble,
q each. Those votes will, of course, be
big factor in the convention. How the con-
tests will be decided is purely a matter of
speculation. The committee on credentials
will probably be divided among Kurtz, Nash
and Daugherty men in such way that
none will have majority. A combination
of two of them will in all likelihood settle
contests and divide the votes.

Fully 500 former graduates and pupils OF

When she reached New York this LADY
had 10 open these tissue paper bundles
and MIR. Sherman related in vivid Ian
auags the shocking manner in which this
poor woman's clothing was exhibited
on the dock. He said that he knew for
q fact that few days ago o man had
brought to New York three penny
whistles. These were staken away frou,
him aud carried 20 the New York ap-
praiser who blew through them to see
how much they we're worth. He worked
his audience mp TO such point of dis
gust at this section Of the tariff law that
the women wers on the verge of weeping
Mr.. Sherman characterized this Law as
q tailor-made regulation, and he told
who these tailors were who had perpe-
trated this vile law upon an unsuspecting
people.
Tbs: speech Of Mr.. Sherman was sp-
plauded ut . few points. When he said
that the protective tariff had ruined
Maine and that free trade would make
her the queen state of the country there
was applause. When he said that Senator
Eugene Hale who had the courage of his
convictions and who stood square up
right for human rights against his
party's. wishes there was applause. And
at his reference to the soiled undercloth-
ing there was more applause. 1t was a
sort of penny whistle argument. Many
people got up and left the hall before he
had finished and by the time the closing
sentence was reached there were u great
many vacant chairs.
MIR. Mckinney then closed the proceed.
ings by calling upon all to rise and cheer
Llewellyn Barton, the next mayor OF
Portland. There were few who
cheered. The others put on their hsts
and coats and went home.
