OHIO DEMOCRATS.
Tho McLenn-NiIbourne Faction 40
parently In Control of state
Convention

Columbus, o., July 1O.-The Mo
trict meetings Tuesday afternoon Sc
cured control of all the committees
and will accordingly have everything
their way at the democratic state
convention to-day. They were so
strongly in the majority that there
was no friction. In the Twentieth
and Twenty-first districts, which in
clnde Cleveland, the johnson men had
things their way as much as the Nc
Lean men in the First and Second
districts, which include Cincinnati.
But in the rural districts the latter
element got almost everything. The
controlling element did not "ride
rough shod" over minorities in any
OF the districts, but when names were
proposed for places on the commit
tees there were inquiries as to how
they stood, and if the replies were
not satisfactory ''they We're excused"
IN some cases as quietly as jurors
and in others with ballots. The Nc
Lean-Kilbourne element, while unu-
sually courteous, made no conces-
aons. The old state committee met
previous to the district meetings,
and gave the tickets of the Mclean
Kllbourne men where were contest
ing delegations, and they took all the
districts except those which include
Cleveland, in which, under the unit
rule, they could not control vote.
But the Johnson men after the re-
suit of the district meeting promptly
announced that they would carry the
fight into committee on resolutions
for an all-night fight and then into
the convention to-day "for finish"
They have two strong men and vigor-
GUS speakers in Salem and Payer,
both members of Mayor Jones' cabi-
net at Cleveland, on the committee
on resolutions.
As the Montgomery contest and
probably the Butler contest will be
carried by minority reports on Gre
dentials into the convention for final
action, It Is predicted that the con-
vention will not reach the order of
nomination until late this afternoon
and that the proceedings may be pro-
tracted into the night.
With all the efforts of the Mclean
Kilbourne men for harmony, there is
every indication of unusual scenes on
the floor Of the convention over mi
nority reports, especially on creden-
tials and resolutions.

president of the New York Academy
Of Design, as well as by other art crit
ics who have examined 1t. They say
its possibilities for decoration are
bsuhdlesE. It is likely that tho com.
nssAeners will, upon the advice Of
the artists, recommend making a
moderate beginning, not asking for
an appropriation to do all Of the work
at onoe. They think that II ops fine
piece of work is shown as beginning
everyone will see then that II would
be extremely bad taste to put any
thing cheap around it. Probably the
large panel at the head Of the grand
staircase will be treated first. The
Idea is to put into this space as good
picture as can be paineted by the
best artists who can be secured in
America. This will cost anywhere
from $4,000 to $4,000. When the
building is decorated in harmony with
this idea 1t will be famous the world
over, and people will come from all
parts of the country to see it. just as
they go to Boston to see the public

Heat in Europe.

Topeka, Kan, July 10.-The hot
weather in Kansas continues with no
immediate chance of relief. Corn has
withstood the ravages of the heat
until Monday. Now it is fast shriv-
cling up, and the prospect is any
thing but promising to the farmers.
The oats crop is worse than fail
ure and hay is scarcer than for years.
In Western Kansas the conditions are
better than in the eastern part, this
being directly opposite to the usual
state of affairs. Some of the central
Kansas farmers are shipping their
stock to western Kansas, SO as to
take advantage of the superior hay
crop. 1t is estimated that Kansas
will suffer crop losses from the pro-
tracted heated spell to the extent of
$10,0O0,o00. This figure will be even
larger If the heat continues a few
days longer, as then there will be alb
solutely no help for the corn. Some

scriptions to BE Placed on
the Iowa Shafts.

Inscriptions for the 10 Iowa monu-
ments to be erected on the battle
field of Shiloh were chosen by the
Iowa Shiloh commission in session

ures and reports submitted at on
earlier date to the national commits
sion were also made by the commits
sion, and announcement of the ac-
ceptance of the designs and inscrip-
tions for the monuments is expected

ton of the work of Iowa's II regi-
ments on the Shiloh battlefield. OF
this, $4,000 is to pay for one large
state monument; $4,000 is for the ex-
penses OF the commission, and So 1000
each is to be spent on the II regi-
mental monuments.
The inscriptions for the state
monument were prepared by tho
commissioners jointly. Each commits
sioner suggested the inscription for
his respective regimental monument,
and all were adopted by the commits
sion as a body.
On the first face of the granite
state monument, carved in the stone
in letters 30 deep that time cannot
