Columbus, o., June 2.-The Republic
can state convention today nominated
George X. Nash, the favorite of Sena-
tor Hanna, for governor, and ex-Con-
gresham John a. Caldwell, the favor
lite of George B. Cox, for lieutenant gov
ernOr, with the other five nominations
distributed among those of less distinct
party affiliations.
What was generally called the Han
na-COx combination controlled a large
majority of the S13 delegates, but it did
not exercise it's power beyond the NOM
nations of Nash and Caldwell. The
conference at which Senator Hanna,
Mr.. Cox and others reached a mutually
clude till a. m, an hour before the
convention assembled.
1t was all over then with Mr..
Daugherty and other candidates, and
it was known that the convention would
conclude its work without any such
prOtracted session as had been antici-
pated.
Guilbert and Huffman were nominal
ed for second terms without opposi-
ton When some of the delegates
raised the cry of slate" George B. Cox
himself was the first to break the slate
by changing the eighty-siX votes of
Hamilton, which he had cast on the
first and second ballots for Judge Hull,
for attorney general. to James NJ.
Sheets. Judge Hull had been generally
considered as a sure winner, as he had
been slated. In this case the antitrust,
as well as the anti-slate element, cut
quite a figure

Theory of Police.

The suspects gave their names as Will
lard Green and John II. Porter and the
former was on the passenger list as Will
lard Reed. The officials scout the idea
that Purser Smith is in any way impli-
Gated in the theft. He has grown gray in
the service of the company. and he is
declared to be absolutely above susoi-
cion in the matter.
The latest theory of the police is that
the missing box was never in the steel
tank. The boxes are heavy, each weigh
ing about ninety pounds. and as thew
were brought on board they were checked
by the purser and chief officer and car
red to the strong room by two porters.
1t is now believed that game of film
fam was played at this stage. and the
box. instead of being placed in its proper
receptacle. was opened and the money
either taken on shore before the steamer
sailed from Sydney or else divided among
the confederates who were among the
passengers

them to be confidence men. connected
with the theft in some, as yet, unex-
planned way.

Endorsement of Mckinley.

Isaac b. Cameron, the successful con-
testant for treasurer of the state, was
generally credited with being on the
slate, and he secured the Hanna-Cox
vote.
Outside of the unusually animated
contests on the nominations, the fea-
ture of the convention was it's univer-
sal endorsement of President Mckinley.
When the plank commencing the pres
ident for the judicious modification of
the civil service rules, recently promul-
gated" was read, there was very en-
thusiastic demonstration.
In presenting the name of MIR.
Daugherty, Mr.. Holcomb of Cleveland
said he hoped the convention would
tolerate no dictation. And when Mr..
Daugherty was called out after the
nomination of Judge Nash. the defeated
candidate said. among other things,
that he hoped he would at least be al
lowed to live as private citizen in the
Republican ranks
Outside of these utteranceS there
were today none of the stings that are
common at conventions. and that were
frequently heard on previous days this
week in both public and private utter
ances of leaders.
The Platform.
The following platform was adopted:
The Republican party of Ohio re-
affirms the principles declared by the
St. Louis platform.
We earnestly endorse the great adj
ministration of President Mckinley. 1t
is distinguished to a remarkable degree

Cry of Slate Raised.

The proceedings had been quiet and
orderly till the order for the nominal
ton of attorney general was reached.
There were nine names presented for
this nomination, among them being
Judge NJ. l.. Hull of Sandusky, whose
name had been presented earlier in the
session for the nomination for governor
The first ballot was proceeded with in
such a manner as indicated the NOM
ination of Judge Hull, when an appar-
emily organized chorus began the yell
of 'Slate!" 'Slatei" and the proceedings
were interrupted by the cries of
'Slate," every time votes were an
nounced for Hull.
Both the first and second ballots were
without result. When the third ballot
began the cries of -Slate.' were re-
newed in a deafening chorus, and it was
then that George B. Cox changed the
eighty-six votes of Hamilton county
from Judge Hull to James H. Sheets.
This caused a stampede and the rules
were suspended and Sheets was nomin-
ated by reclamation before the call of
the counties was completed.
This was the first break in the So
called Hanna-CoX slate. and il caused
the convention TO go wild. The dele
gates continued to yell 'Slate!' when
the order of supreme judge was
reached. The names of j. p. Bradbury
of Pomeroy. w. u. Davis of Marion and
c. c. Shearer of Xenia were presented
Judge Bradbury has served two terms
of six years each on the supreme bench.
and the ''third-term' idea had pre-
viously been defeated in the cases of
State Treasurer S. B. Campbell and At
torney General Frank Monnett- The
cries of Third term" and of '.Slatei"
were set up against Judge Bradbury.
and, on the third ballot, W. u. Davis
was nominated

II COME FOR ALL YOUR GOODS

Our new policy of Imperialism, with its
attendant robbery and carpet-bag rule,
has revived the discussion in the papers
and magazines as to who was the author
of the saying, Il come for your goods,
for all your goods, 1t has been claim
ed that it belonged to William ii, and
Macauley credited it to the Prince, of
Orange. A Springfield Republican cor
respondent points out that the imperial
istic expression was first uttered by a
mistress Of George 1. Cassel's history
of England is thus quoted:
George had brought with him several
German ladies who were as remarkable
for ugliness as Charles lis mistresses
had been for beauty. In the eyes of an
English mob a kings mistress is very
sufferable parsonage if she is handsome;
but it was regarded as species of trea-
son and an insult to the nation that
King George should patronize ugly wo-
men. Accordinly, when they say Nine.

or the Countess Platen abroad, they pur-
sued their carriages with bowls and in
suits. They had the reputation of being
very rapacious. One Of these ladies In
alarm put her head out of her carriage
and exclaimed: .sWhy do you abuse us,
good people? We come for all your
goods To which n fellow bawled out:

THE TRUTH UNyARNISHED.

'ON. <1itStIh oIudlisl.
NEARLY all the wealth of this land is
passing into a few hands, and not one
of these hands favorable to the freedom
of the citizen. Every great industrial.
commercial, mining, or transportation en-
terprise is passing into the hands first OF
corporations. and then by further con-
solidation into the hands of trusts
which thus have an absolute monopoly
n monopoly which can, arbitrarily, fix
prices. fix wages. and regulate output
a monopoly which has no soul and whose
chief purpose is to plumber the public.
The monopolist and the speculator pros
per, but the masses wither.
Men of moderate fortunes and of
fair incomes, who were the bulwark of
the public, are slowly but surely being
wiped out. We are being reduced to two
classes: In the first stage these will be
known as the very rich and the moder-
ately poor. and in the second stage as
masters and slaves. We have establish
ed moneyed aristocracy and are now
fastening yoke on posterity. A stand
ing army is to be enthroned and bayonet
argument is to govern.
What about 10 to 1? Well, my
friends, it is not in our power to change
this; it is impossible to get anything
along any other line. Change the ratio
and the whole case dissolves. To be
sure, theoretically this is not so, but we
have to deal with fearfully sad facts.
For twenty years both of the great par
ties denounced the gold standard and de-
manded the free coinage of silver at the
old ratio. 1t looked as if the question
would be settled in week, but instead
the gold standard got more firmly seat
ed in the saddle.
How? BY corruptly controlling the
government and manipulating Congress.
Open the question of ratio and you will
get 10 action in a century. To drop
the ratio s to betray the cause. We are
for the old ratio because it is right, be-
cause it will undo Il great crime. be-
cause it will make prosperity possible,
because we cannot succeed in any other
way, and because the suggestions for a
change come only from the enemy"

NO NEW OFFICES-NO NEED FOR
THEM.

The State Auditor in his report makes
a strong appeal for giving the State Au-
ditor an additional clerk, stenographer
and to increase the salary of the chief
clerk to $500.
We have no idea that this recommen-
General Assembly, not because the State
Auditor was one of those who obtained
his office by clamoring for reduction
of salaries to the basis of prices paid for
farm products, but because the present
appropriation is sufficient. During the
campaign of 1885, the present State Au-
ditor seemed not to have anything to do
in his office, for he devoted most of his
time to writing scurrilous campaign
hand-books villifying honest men. Now
that he is relieved of that employment,
flor the people will never again read his
calumnies). he will be able with the
present assistance to keep up the work
of the office if he will devote as manv
hours working for the State as he did to
the Fusion campaign.
In addition to the salary of $1,000 to
the chief clerk, the Legislature appro-
PIRATES $1,000 extra for clerical assist
ance. If the State pays the same sal
airy for stenographer that private par
ties pay, this $1,000 would provide pay
for both capable stenographer and as
sistant clerk. OF course the salaries
would not be high. but they would be as
large as are paid in private business EN-
terprises for similar work. ~
Even if, in ordinary times, the Legis-
lature would be justified in increasing the
compensation, year of five cent cotton
is not the time to make additional APP
preparations for any purpose not abso-
lntely necessary.
To the Legislature: mo new offices
and no appropriations except such as are
absolutely necessary" That is a good
motto to adopt and live up to.

There is no denying the serious fact
that there is a great amount of sickness
from the grip; that over-worked men
and women now suffer more than at any
other time of the year from lassitude,
headaches, slight chills and fever and
other symptoms of imperfect health;
that people fall sick more readily now
than at any other time of the year; and
that whenever an epidemic does appear
it invariably plays havoc with those who
are run down and out of condition.
The utmost caution should be taken
to keep the blood pure and the nervous
system in healthy tone.
There is no more excuse for the prev&-
lent symptoms of stagnant, impure blood
in the body than there is for the barbar-
ism of filthy streets in a city.
The relaxed and sluggish action of the
excretory organs loads the body with
waste material that poisons it and brings
on headaches. rheumatic pains, sleepless
nights and profitless days, due solely to
the, circulation in the blood, or deposit
in the tissues, of these waste matters
which Paine's Celery Compound alone
will quickly drive out.
When the arms, hips or back feed the
twinges of acute rheumatism it is high
time to relieve the kidneys and bladder
from the strain that so often brings on
Bright's disease, gravel, dropsy and
complications of diseases with other or
gans whose health depends upon the
purity of the blood. Prompt use Of
Paine's Celery Compound will save the
weakened parts from yielding to dis
ease.
In its peculiar ability to ihvigorate the
body, to make new blood and to regulate
the nerves, lies the great value of
Paine's Celery Compound in all wasting
diseases and disorders of the kidneys,
liver and stomach.
Paine's Celery Compound rescues
shaky, enfeebled nerves from prostration
and removes that feeling of utter ex-
haustion that causes so much despon-
dency among so many worried men and
women.
1t makes flesh, blood and strong
nerves.
Paine's Celery Compound is not a pat
ent medicine. 1t is not the discovery of
some quack doctor of whom his profess
sion never heard; it is not a concoction
put up by some man who first invented
a name, and then adopted preparation
to fit it; it is not secret remedy.

WANTS STATE ADOPTION.
There Should Be Uniformity in Text
Books Over the State.

To the Editor: Theqspirit of economy
Worthy fna se of al prise aey fc tre apos :
ties of Democracy ana will restore the
ancient laEama- cf Urgency ana G""d
Government.
Now let them hear word from one
who has given some Of his life to the
cause of public education in Granville
county.
We need some uniformity in the mat
ter of text books for school children all
over the State. We do not need too
rigid rule. But we ought to have
uniformity as far as possible. To Sc
cure this | suggest this plan: Raise Il
committee to consist of seven members
and to be named by the Speaker of the
House and let this committee meet in
Raleigh and decide what text books shall
be used in all schools for the period of
say two years.
This committee might select more than
one book on some subjects so as to
allow some latitude of choice and they
might except from the operations of the
law graded schools ia towns of over 5000
inhabitants. These are matters of de-
tail easy of working out Now let us
see some of the advantages of this
system:
/. Economy. am informed that book
publishers add at least 70 per cent to
usual prices to pay the expenses of
book-fghts, in ninety-seven counties IN
North Carolina, under the present law.
A report has been made to the Cover
nor of Texas to the effect that this uni
form system will save to the children Of
that Empire State in FIVE years one mil
lion of dollars. Think of the thousands
Of dollars saved each year by buying
books by wholesale. One pound of sugar
can be bought for seven cents but six
teen pounds can be bought for a dol
lar.
2. Uniformity Of Thought and Idea.
This central board can organize sys-
TEN by which the course of instruction
from free schools to academy and from
academy to college will be natural
growth. No child is busy unlearning one
session or under one teacher what he
was taught last session.
3. Organization and Unitlcatlon OF
Forces. What rope of sand is our edu-
cational system at present! Everything
is ont of joint This county has adopt
ed one book. that county another-this
school teaches one pronunciation. that
another. BY having central board new
life will be infused into the whole body
educational.
A. A system of text books more in
harmony with the needs of our people.
At present the respective board of
commissioners selects the text books. Of
course when the central board is ap-
pointed it will consist of men of eX-
perience in these matters. They will
fix the prices of books. They will study
the methods of other States and they will
feel the public pulse of the whole State.
How ridiculous to expect any system OF
education to grow. expand and develop
when the text books, the very tools for
use. are selected by worthy gentlemen,
many of whom have rot looked inside OF
a book in a quarter of century!
Recognizing the fact that the rich
school may demand a more expensive
book than the poor school, there must
be some elasticity; but in the main LET
there be uniformity.

Mr.. G.. G. Noble, the representative
from Jones county, and one of tine young
est and wisest members of the House
introduced in the House yesterday, one
of the most important bills that has yet
been proposed by the Legislature, it be-
ing bill to repeal all laws of every
kind regulating gaac al elections in ito
State.
In talking with Mr.. Noble about his
bill, he said, that its first object was
to rid forever our statute books from
the infamous election laws passed by the
Fusionists in 1895 and 1897 that no
such laws should longer remain, to furth-
err disgrace our State. Then in addition
to this, he said that he thought it bcsl
to repeal all laws of whatever kind reg
ulating general elections in the State;
turn back to state of nature, as it were,
with reference to election laws; also the
bill, he explained, is beginning OF the
enactment of an honest, fair and just
election law, such as would be passed
by the present General Assembly, and
he thought it best to wipe out to make
new start. Then too. he remarked,
that while he was not lawyer, he
thought there should be an interim be-
tween the repeal of all the election laws
in the State and the enactment of others,
thereby obviating any possible point as
was made in Wood VS.. Bellamy, 100
Supreme Court Reports, known as the
Asylum Case, as to the repeal of one
law and at the same time enact an
other. He is satisfied that the election
law passed by the Legislature would be
constitutional, but he feels that if it is
declared unconstitutional that he pre-
fers not to have any election law than
to have the miserable one now on our
statute books, disgrace to our honest
and intelligent people.
The Statesville Landmark will be uni
versally commended in this utterance:
Speaker Conner made no mistake when
he appointed Representative j. B. Hol-
man. of Iredell, chairman of the House
Finance committee. Mr.. Holman was
chairman of the Finance committee of
the Legislature of 81 and made an eX-
cellent one. He has demonstrated the
fact that he is a good financier because
he manages his private business success
