CONSERVATIVE PLATFORM

Columbus, O., July S.-The Democratic ticket of Ohio will be Kilbourne and Howells, as things stand tonight. And the platform will be conservative. None of the expected dramatic scenes in the convention will come about An unex- pected scene may occur before the ballot for Governor Is taken, as John L. Zim- merman is being urged to withdraw his name and to move that Col. James Kill bourne be nominated by exclamation. But under no circumstances will Zimmer- man accept second place. After he gave his ultimatum tonight to the many per- sistent appeals from the Kilbourne men for him to accept the nomination for Lieutenant Governor, 1t was practically settled that Anthony Wells, who was formerly state treasurer and consul to Cardiff under President Cleveland, would be nominated for the second place.
 While the aspirants of the other places on the State ticket are hustling tonight and their friends are yelling, there are two opposing conferences In session on the platform. In the conference of the conservatives ex-Attorney General liar mon, Harlan Cleveland and others are ex- blaming their platform. The other con- ference Is conducted by Temporary Chair man Salen, Judge Blandin and fifteen other Johnson men who come from Cleve- land today to urge what Is known as the Cuyahoga county convention platform. In the intercourse that took place between these conferees tonight the Cleveland dle- gates were insisting to the last on their plank on taxation, bu they were no longer pressing other new departures"

HE" WAS A WOMAN.
Person Convicted of Forgery Turns
 Out To Be a Female.

Parkersburg, W. Va, July 8.-Ellis Glenn, the woman, wno it is alleged, masquerading as a man, forged notes for $1400 over the names of George and Vesta Hoover, was put on trial today.
 Ellis Glenn says she is Ellis Glenn, and not E. B. Glenn, the alleged man who is supposed to have done the forg- ing. She had twin brother, she said, whom SC tried to save from punish ment in Illinois by masquerading as man, but she claims that at that time she was not aware of the forgery com mitted in Pennsylvania.
 It is asserted by some that the pris- oner is not the E. B. Glenn they knew here, and others again say that the two are really one and the same per son. The accused relies on her sex to protect her innocence. She says that proof will be adduced showing that beyond doubt the person who did the forging was man.
 The woman was brought here from Illinois, where she had been con con victed for forgery and sent to the peni- tentiary as a man. When delivered to the prison authorities her sex was dis covered and she was turned over to the sheriff here to be tried for the Hoover forgeries.

CONSTITUTION
 OUTRAN COLUMBIA The HerrShof Creation Won a
 Decided Victory HER OWNERS GRATIFIED lndependence Was Left Far In the Rear-New Cup Defender Beat
 Old Defender Half Hour
 Over 3o-Mlle Course.
HER OWNERS CERTIFIED

1 Newport, R. l., July S.-If the victory of the Constitution over the Columbia and the Independence in the first of the three cornered races on Saturday was significant and definite, her winning to- day may well be characterized as over whelming and the defeat of the Indepen- 1 dence as positive and almost hopeless. The approach of evening again found the committee boat anchored far out in Narragansett bay along with the cat boat which marked the other end of the finish line. tediously waiting for the Boston boat to cross, while her rivals were well up the harbor on the way to their moorings.
 The new Herrshoff boat had beaten the Columbia by nearly half an hour over the thirty mile course, while the record against the Indepence was over one full hour She came or travelled around the triangle while the Crowninshield creation was covering two legs of 1t. Today's race establishes the new Bristol sloop as a record breaker in light air. Of all the conquests in the history of the renowned races for the Americas cup, that Of to- day Is the most remarkable. The Con- stitution has proved herself the best light weather craft of this creation. The first leg of the triangular course Of thirty nautical miles was abeat to windward of ten miles, the course being south west.
 There was haze and dampness and an unprepossessing outlook generally, but the Constitution overcome every obstacle that offered in the way of fiukes and doldrums and sailed with tact and skill and won out at the finish mark by ten minutes and thirty-seven seconds over the Columbia The great yacht never before had such humiliating experience.
 Of the next leg, a reach of ten miles with only gentle zephyr blowing on the starboard beam, with fine reaching lib topsail set to whatever air might come her way, she rounded the leeward mark eight minutes and forty-two seconds ahead of Columbia. And then, scurry1ng faster than the wind, which never during the race today exceeded the force or a six knot air, she made the crowntng re- cord of her history by sailing over the ten knots In forty-nine minutes and forty-six seconds. Then came the cheering and | notes of acclaim from whistles and sirens In honor of the greatest boat that ever sailed a fast light weather race. Constitution beat Columbia twenty-eight minutes and eight seconds, corrected time. and Independence 1:1S:d corrected l time.
 About four minutes and thirty seconds before Constitution finished, Independ- ence was dimly discerned rounding the | lee mark, nine miles astern of the win ner.

the refugees out and prevent them from bringing in disease.
 MT. Lomax said the cry of yellow fever caused a stampede out of the State, and because the quarantine prevented them from coming back we are told we must put a clause in the constitution to prevent it. He referred to pr. Cunningham as an authority on yellow fever, which reference called forth much applause. He said this quarantine matter could be regulated by the legislature.
 MT. Hefin of Chambers spoke against the amendment and in favor of the sec tion as reported. He said the people of the hills ought to have the right to pre- vent disease from being brought among them. He moved to lay the amendment on the table, which was done. The sec tion was then adopted as reported.

 Section 36 was then adopted as follows:

 Section 37. That no restraint upon the privileges of suffrage on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude shall be made by law
 Mir Pettus of Limestone moved to table the section, saying it was unwise to re- enact the fifteenth amendment. as some of us had hopes that the fifteenth amend ment would be repealed.
 MT. Lomax explained that the commit tee thought best to leave 1t in. Mr. Pet tus' amendment was then adopted.
