trust laws. He had sought third
term nomination from the Ropubli
oan's on tho issue that he should be
retained in that cflioe to continue
those prosecutions. After his dofeat
for tho third nomination in 1899 he
supported Bryan in 1900 on tho anti
trust issue and oanvassod Ohio and
other Statos with Bryan
:fho most striking turn Of the con.
yention was on Bryan. The most bit

but the picture did not roach it's dos

and spoiled during the wild domon-
htrations whom Kilbourpc was escorted
into tho hall. IL is generally believed,
however, that tho marching clubs did

The members Of the committee on
resolutions said ovor ono hout was
spent after Last midnight in efforts to

plank on railway taxation, and several
hours in denouncing tho Chicago and

Unsual interest 10 bcing taken in

executive committee by tho State con.
tral committee ainco the convention
concluded ito work. Tho State ooptral
committee today ajourned until July

that Col. K,ibourno will bc compelled
to cooperate with either tho Mclean
mon or The johnson mon, who arc not
talking friendly to each othor, to con
troll the State exc cutivo committee. In
this connection thero arc all sorts Of
rumors about tho sonatorship, for
which tho convention endorses no ono
as the Democratic candidate to suooood
Senator Foraker. Tho names Of John
II. Mclean and of Tom L. johnson aro
most prominently mentioned in this
connection.
The convention was called to order
about i O. clock by Chairman Bruokor,
and after prayer Hon. Charles p.
Salen, a momDor Of Tom Johnson's
cabinet at Cleveland, was introduced
as temporary chairman, which was lator
made permanent.
