Mclean. Men Seem to Have dontrsl
Mt state Convention. y

mclean MEN Seem 10 HAVE Qontfol
ut state Convention. ~
COLUMBUS, O., June l8.-The Nc.
Lean men controlled the preliminary
meetings of the Democratic state conven.
tion yesterday, but they are evidently
playing for harmony more than for places
and may not carry ont the same pro.
gramme today.
When John II. Mclean was the candi.
date for governor last year his friends
were placed on the state central and ex.
scutive committees. His friends are in
the majority on the new state central
committee, and it will select the cam.
paign committee and members of the
state executive committee. 1t is claimed
that the Mclean men In securing control
of the party organization for another
year have all they wanted, and, although
they could control everything, they also
have major'ties on the convention com.
mittees. The Mclean men are not op
posing some aspirants for delegates to
Kansas City and for state nominations
who have heretofore been strongly op
posed to Mr.. Mclean. This is especially
noticeable in their support of George w.
Hull Of Toledo for delegate at large and
II. II. McFadden. editor Of the Steuben,
vile Gazette, for secretary of state.
The opposition to Mclean comes from
silver extremists who suspect that theil
state standard bearer Of last year WAS al
one time in touch with some Democratic
leaders Of the east who were considering
the advisability Of some other candidate
than Bryan. Although documentary and
other evidence has been produced to show
the most intimate and cordial relations
between Bryan and Mclean, yet the ul
ira elements are opposed to any one who
ever thought Of any other candidate but
Bryan for president Or Of any modifica.
ton of the Chicago platform. Even the
talk about Dewey for second place on the
ticket with Bryan does not fully satisfy
them.

While the working parties, accom-

the train. Most of them were armed
with spears and swords. A few had
firearms, which they handled awkward

"Unless their loss causes the Boxers
