generally indicate that the crop has made
satisfactory advancement during the

AS a result of the light rains in Texas,
much of the state receiving no precipita-

M,LEAN FORCES IN CONTROL.
PLAYING FOR HARMONY RATHER
THAN FOR PLACES.

Hl. Friends Are in the Majority on
the New Democratic Executive
committee in Ohio, Although the
Mclean Men Could Take Every
Ihing-There VIII BE a Free for
All Contest ON the State Ticket an
To-dny's Session.
columbus, o., June 12.-The McLeau
men controlled the preliminary meetings
Of the Democratic State Convention to-
day, but they are evidently paying for
harmony more than for places, and may
not carry out the same programme to-
morrow.
When John r. Mclean was the candi-
date for Governor last year. his friends
were placed on the State Central and EX-
ecutive Committees. His friends are in the
majority on the new State Central Com
ittee. that was selected this evening, and
it will select the campaign chairman and
members of the State Executive Commit
tee az a later date
II Is claimed that the Mclean men in
securing control of the party organiza
ton tonight for another year, have all
they wanted. and although they could
control everything tomorrow. as they also
have majorties on the Convention Com
mittees, there win be a free for all con-
test for the state ticket. and for dele
gates to Kansas City.
Opposition to Mclean.
The opposition to Mclean comes from
silver extremists who suspect that their
state standard-bearer of last year was at
one time in touch with some Democratic
leaders of the East, who are considering
the availability of some other candidate
than Bryan Although documentary and
other evidence has been produced to show
the most intense and cordial relations
between Bryan and Mclean, yet the III ra
elements are opposed to any one who ever
thought of any other candidate but Bryan
for President or of any modification of
the Chicago platform. Even the talk
about Dewey for second place on The
ticket with Bryan does not fully satisfy
them.
Tie committee on resolutions tonight
practically adopted the platform submit
ted by Gen. A. j. Warner. president of the
American Bimetallic League There were
only three cut OF the twenty-ohe members
of the committee against the ratio of IS
TO !, and they were in favor of the War
ner pla form, which indorses the Chicago
Platform.
Gen. Warner said there had been more
important issues raised since 1896 han the

place in coinage. He spoke Of "lhe mis-
sion of the constitution, under an admin
istration of imperialism. miitarism, con-
quest, aggression and corruption" as the
greatest danger that ever threatened the
country. He also held that the trusts
outranked silver now as an issue.

should prevail. and providing revenue
made necessary by a policy of eXorbitant
and prohibitory tariff imDosi,ions prac-
