ALL PLEAD for HARMONY, :
But the Sound Of the Whettiug Of
Knives Could be Heard

ABOVE THE ELOQUENT WORDS
OF THE ORATORS-THE OHIO
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
OPENED AT COLUMBUS, YES
TERDAY-THE ATTENDANCE
IMMENSE AND THE DISCORD
VERY APPARENT-THE SECOND
SESSION TO-DAY.
COLUMBUS. Ohio. June This has
been a Daugherty day as much as yes
terddy was Nash day.
The conferences continue, however,
and the field may next turn on Daugh-
erty. There is as yet no winning slate
and there are those who believe that
no winning combination can be found
until after the test of balloting. The
committee on rules and order of bust
ness tonight limited all nominating
speeches to five minutes, with only one
seconding speech of one minute. in an
ticipaiion of the convention running
into Friday night or being continued
over to Saturday.
The committee on permanent organ
izatiOn decided to report in favor OF
making the temporary organization
permanent
Among the features of the day were
the speeches at the hotels that were
bitter and defiant, and those at the con-
vention that were all for harmony. The
leaders, who joined the chorus at the
auditorium from four to six p. M, in
a sort of peace jubilee, spent the night,
however, in contests and conferences
that were not very harmonious.
While H. NJ. Daugherty has appar-
emily had the best of it all day. at the
conference in the morning, in the Sc
lection of committeeman in the after
noon, in the demonstrations at the
convention and in the proceedings of
the committees tonight, yet he is hav
ing odds only as the leading candidate
and not yet as a winner. Nash Will
be a close second and Lieut.. A. w.
Jones a much closer third than has
been anticipated up until tonight In
the field. r. NJ Nevin, of Dayton, is
looming up, while none of the others
seem to be gaining outside of their
respective districts.
While the forces of Cox. Daugherty
and Kurtz, combined against Nash to-
day, as the Hanna candidate is all the
preliminary work, yet this combine
cannot apparently get together on any
one man for Governor. Cox wants
dark horse and is grooming Shattuc
till he names his favorite. Foraker
wants Jones. Kurtz does not want
Jones or Daugherty if he can get some
one he likes better. Meantime Daugh-
erty insists that he has more votes
than Jones. Cox and Kurtz can COM
mand; that they should come to him
if they want to defeat Nash, and there
by indirectly defeat Hanna. 1t is in
this complication that Nevin is likely
to be brought out.
Daugherty is not only a leader in
the prospective 6alloting, but he also
has the best organization of any of the
candidates.
The new State committee tonight
elected Vivian j. Fagin chairman, and
p. w. Durr. secretary, and will meet
here June IL for permanent organiza-
ton.

ARTILLERYMEN NEEDED.

WASHINGTON, June IA phase of
the army situation that is receiving
considerable attention from those in
terested in the artillery arm of the
service is the increasing shortage of
men to care for the constantly increas-
ing number of guns in the coast de-
lenses. This question, indeed, may
have considerable bearing on the ques-
ton of whether a call for volunteers
will be necessary. There are not
enough artillerymen it is claimed, to
take care of the modern guns already
installed on the coast defenses. 1t is
pointed out by those familiar with the
situation that the guns themselves are
suffering for want of attention. The
templacements for the heavy modern
guns are built with mathematical ac-
cufacy. In the big coast guns the
whole problem is worked out by math-
ematics and if the gun and it's founda-
ton deteriorate all the fine work in
their original construction goes Tor
nothing.

WASHINGTON, June Replying
to inquiries of the Secretary of War,
Gen. Otis telegraphed that he is still
of the opinion that 10000 troops will
be necessary for the effective control of
the Philippines

5000 or 5000 men necessary to bring
Gen. Otis total up to SO,OOO?"

George B. Lowrey, Of town, and his circus
is meeting with big success on the road. 1t
is booked for appearance in Shenandoah on
June 20 and a. Speaking of the show, the
Montgomery (Lycoming county Mirror says:
The splendid show Of Lowery Bros. held
forth on Decker's Common on Wednesday
afternoon and evening, and Of all the 10 and
20 cent shows that have held forth on the
commons in recent years, Lowerys is the
completest and most strictly up-to-date in all
its details. The show is original in its en-
tirety and the performance throughout is
certainly the prettiest entertainment seen
under canvass here, The show only had an
average attendance in the afternoon hut those
who attended advertised it so thoroughly
that at the evening performance it was
packed. The seats would not hold
the people and there was a perfect mass
around the ropes. The one prominent
feature of the performance was the clean
moral manner in which everything was con-
Quoted. Chief of Police Myers remarked to
the editor that if all the ministers in town
should attend the evening performance, with
their families they would have higher idea
of the show people. Come again, gentlemen,
and you will be insured rousing reception
You have made hosts of friends in Mont
gOmery. No worn out jokes or musty puns,
but everything moral, delightful, enjoyable,
good music, good songs. The Lowery Bros.
are doing more to elevate the stage and the
circus in the eyes of the American people,
than dozen Dramatic Mirrors with all their
critics and criticisms"
