II. Dodds, of Salineville. Senator Geo.
W. Wilhelm, of Justus, and G. G. Ba-
ker, Charles Silver and Colonel w. W.
King, of Alliance, came from Stark
county. Ex-Liuetenant Governor Asa
A. Jones and Senator Writ, Of Younes-
town, were the first to arrive from Ma
honing county Congressman Gill and
ex-Representative John Means, of
Steubenville, blew in last evening.
The only contests will be on the su.
preme court judgeship and supreme
court clerkship. The Eighteenth dis
trict has
PAID LITTLE ATTENTION
to these fights--in fact, has hardly been
drawn into them as yet. Columbiana
county will probably cast majority OF
her votes for Emerson, of Belmont, for
clerk and will be divided on judge.
Mahoning county seems to favor Price
for Judge and Emerson for clerk.
Stark county had no particular choice
last evening. Critchfield and Emerson
may divide the county vote on the
first ballot. Last night 1t had not
been definitely decided who would pre-
side as chairman of the three different
delegations of the Eighteenth district
II was stated Sunday that either judge
Moore or R. ". Chamberlain, Of East
Palestine, would be made chairman OF
the Colambiana county delegation.
G. V. Sharp will be reelected as state
central committeeman from the dis
trict. 1t will be his second term, and
according to custom Columbiana coun-
ty is entitled to the Office for another
year. State Treasurer /. b. Cameron
has opened headquarters at the Neil
house and his parlors are the principal
stopping place of the Eighteenth's rep
resentatives. This morning the three
delegations held separate meetings and
went over the situation. The action
each took will develop tomorrow in
the convention hall. One thing is GER
tain, none of the Eighteenth district
delegations are tied down to any candi-
date-they will go into the convention
free-footed. The final caucus of the
district delegation will be held in the
Office of State Treasurer Cameron this
afternoon. The Neil and Chittenden
are filled with politicians. The candis
dates and hackers are busy circulating
among and importuning the delegates.
Hanna and Dick are at the Chittenden.
THEY ARE THE CYNOSURE
of many years. Foraker is expected at
noon. Dick denies that there is any
foundation for the report that slate
has been fixed for the nomination OF
Crew for Judge and Critchfeld for
clerk. He says he is for Critchfield
because he is member Of his old regi-
ment and warm personal friend.
Critchfield is a major of the Eighth
regiment and served in the Cuban cam
paign with Dick. Dick made a positive
statement that he would stand for no
slate or combination. He said Cald-
well was in the hands of his friends and
their wishes would be final with the
convention.
HOWELLS A POSSIBILITY.
The Columbus Citizen prints the fol-
lowing: q.
"A new candidate for lieutenant gov-
ernor on the Democratic ticket is an
nounced. He is Former State Treas
urer Anthony Howells of Stark county.
Mr.. Howells was treasurer of state
when Hoadly was governor, and was
afterward sent to the state senate from
the Stark county district, being men,
Der of the general assembly which
elected Brice senator. He is Welsh
Democrat, and they are about as rare
in Ohio as sunfiowers in Iceland. This
is one OF the arguments that is being
used in favor of Howellss nomination
1t is also recalled that Lieutenant Gov
ernor Warwick was from Stark coun-
ty."
