THE PROHIBITION TICKET
JOHN c. WOOLEY, OF ILLINOIS,
 NOMINA1ED ron PRESIDENT.
Henry E. MetcnIf, of Rhode Island. Ills Running NInte-The Nominations in Each Case Made on tho First Ballot The Convention at One Time Nearly stamp .ded for Swallow.

Chicago, June 2s.-The prohibition convention adjourned sine die to-day
 after having placed in nomination for president John G, Woolley of Illinois, and for vice president, Henry B. Met calf of Rhode Island. The nominations in each instance were made on the first ballot Only two candidates for presi- dent were balloted for, MT. Woolley and Rev. Silas c. Swallow of Pennsylvania, Hale Johnson of Illinois withdrawing his name at the last moment and throw ing his strength to MT Woolley
 This undoubtedly had great effect on the result, as the convention earlier In the day had been nearly stampeded for Swallow by an eloquent speech of Homer l.. Castle of Pittsburg and had the friends of the Pennsylvania parson forced ballo. at that time the result might have been different. For vice president three candidates were ballot ed for, H. B. Metcaf, Thomas R. Cask- ardon of West Virginia and Rev. F. l.. Eaton of Iowa, MT Metcalf receiving an overwhelming majority of the votes cast.
 Immediately after the announcement of the result of the ballot for the prasi- dential nomination, Rev. MT Swallow was proposed for the vice presidential nominee. The convention went wild over the suggestion, but MT. Swallow after a hurried conference with the Pennsylvania delegation refused to ac cept the nomination. During to-day's session Chairman Stewart called for contributions for the campaign and over $1 .00O was realized in q few minutes

Nerve Splitting.

For three miles and a half it was nerve splitting, hair raising. heart breaking contest Old boating men say they have never seen the like, not once in that distance was there half a lengths difference between the two boats. Now Harvard was ahead; now Yale; then Harvard again, And when finally Harding gave way after an aw- ful struggle to keep up the pace and his oar was seen to be dragging the ex- citement increased It was apparent that Harvard was vanquished. Never was varsity race rowed in smoother water Just after the freshman contest, a big black cloud in the north which fortunately brought no rain, knocked down the southwest wind and the river was smooth and placid as a pond.
 Ache Finish.
 The spectacle at the finish was mag nificent Hundreds of yachts. large and small sail and steam were banked on either side of the course. They flew all kinds of bunting and altogether made handsome picture. Both banks of the river were lined with thousands and the big railroad bridge, just below the finish line, was black with people. The observation trains running on both sides of the river kept along with the boats and offered fine opportunity for seeing the whole of the race.
 slsrvnrd sVtnA Oth'r Eventa.
 The four-oared race, as was expected, proved rather an easy victory for Har- ward The crimson substitutes took the lead at the snap of the pistol and had no difficulty in keeping it. The fresh- man contest was something of disap- pointment to the New Haven men, for the Yale youngsters had been picked as winners Instead Harvard showed them their rudder for two miles and the event was something in the nature of a procession.

 New London, Conn.,. June 2S.-The of- ficial aquatic proceedings of the regatta were begun almost on time, and with a dispatch that spoke volumes for the efficiency of the committee in charge of the events of the day.
 The ball of enthusiasm was set a roll ing when the observation train on the east side of the river pulled up to Red Top and came to a standstill at a point exactly opposite the starting line four miles above the drawbridge. The train consisted ot sixteen cats, fourteen of which were filled when the Yale and Harvard launches left their respective quarters with the eight cared shells of the freshman crews in tow.
 The Foul Our Race.
 Up the river at 11:45 the Yale varsity four appeared on the water in their racing shell Almost simultaneously the quartet from Red Top slid their boat into the river and a few minutes later were on their way to the start. As Harvard's sour backed up to the stake boat, to which they had been as- signed by lot, it was evident that the water conditions would probably prove

 tho Imp of tho Coxswain-Ifarvard Wins tho Freshman and Four-Oar Rncrs-Times oftie Crews.
 New London, Conn.,, June 2S.-A race day full of sensations and ending with the greatest sensation of all-this tells the story of the annual boating contest between Yale and Harvard. With the four-oar and the freshman races won, and handsomely won, too, and with a lead when nearing the finish in the big varsity event, defeat came to Harvard in a sudden and unexpected manner,
 A Grand strnggI
 After one of the grandest struggles ever seen on the Thames the crimson eight had at the three mile flag, Inch by inch, put their prov to the fore Passing this flag they seemed to be rowing strong and increasing their ad- vantage. Harvard cheers rent the air Guns. whistles and shouting, mingled to create an awful din. Down between the parallel lines of yachts the two shells shot, each man in both straining his every nerve.
 Harvard Stroke WeaIxens.
 Approaching the three and half mile flag Harvard was still in the lead when suddenly her stroke oar seemed to weaken. This was Harding, who had moved down to take the place of dis abed Captain Higginson. The gallant little conswafn shouted encouragement and then sprayed him with water. Harding struggled on but his oar did not touch the water. Soon it dragged. Then the exhausted stroke fell forward in callapse and Harvard finished the last half mile with seven oars, Mean while the sons of Eli made use of every moment of this disaster, and shot their boat ahead, crossing the line some six lengths ahead. It was victory. but 1t was not a joyous victory. There was Yale shouting, but 1t had a hollow sound

II Would be a Petticoat Admin

Is the Opinion Of Judge Stuart--Worth
Reading.

II the sentiment which prevails in
Akron is general throughout the coun.
try, Admiral Dewey's candidacy will
he killed long before his name Is pre-.
sented In the national convention OF
either Of the old parties.
Republicans say that he will not be
nominated by their delegates and Dcni-
ocrats arc equally positive that he will
not be taken up by their party. They
MI agree that he has made mistake
in taking the action that he has. He
is all right as a hero but as Presi-
dent he will never do. This is the SEN
timent of the local political leaders.
A number of we'll known men ex-
pressed their opinions to a reporter for
the Democrat as follows:
Judge G. Il. Grant-"The announce
ment of Admiral Dewey's candidacy
was great surprise to me. If we are
to Judge by his utterances of last fall,
men who are opposed to the imperialis-
tic policy of the present Administration
can have nothing in common with
Dewey's candidacy. The people are
altogether ignorant about where he
stands in regard to any of the other
questions of public moment, or in
which direction his politicals notions
tend. Ny Judgment is that Mr.. McKin-
ley will be the Republican candidate
and Mr.. Bryan the Democratic, and
that Dewey's announcement will cut no
figure In the campaign. l see that
Grover Cleveland is for him. If that
is so am against him. We have had
enough experience in taking man out
of Il camp and putting him in the
White House: 1t would, think, be
quite as bad to take a man from the
quarter deck. Dewey has had no civic
experience and as President would be
as much the prey of designing politi-
clans as Gen. Grant was. Mckinley,
weak as he Is, would be safer, in my
opinion. I think it is n whitncy-Gor-
man ct al scheme, in which, perhaps,
q few dlsgruntled Republicans are al
so engaged, hoping to scare Mckinley
into giving them something"
Judge Il. w. Stuart: "If the dis
patches which have been published
are true in stating Dewey's announce
ment, to the effect that he does not
consider Mckinley Il fit man for Pres
ldent, he has lowered himself In my
estimation. | do not believe that he is
suitable man for the position.

Judge Stuart is Of the opinion that
If Admiral Dewey were nominated and
elected President 1t would be u petit

also to be the opinion OF about niIo
out of ten of Akron's voters, indepen-
dent of their politics.
