THE OHIO DEMOCRACY
WILL BE RULED BY TOM [. JOHNSON
OF CLEVELAND.
The Convention May Not Reaffirn, tho
Kansas City Platform or lndorse
Bryan by Name.

sandusky, Ohio, August 81 The demo
cratic state convention will be held here
this week to nominate candidates for Becre
tary OF state supreme Judge, dairy and food
commissioner and member Of the State
board Of public works There are less can
didates in the heid than usual. Senator
William Decker was among rhe first men
toned for the head Of the ticket, bur he
docs not seem to be in the field now. John
2. Stang has been urged by his friends to
be a candidate, but has made no aggressive
effort himself
The most prominent man mentioned In
connection with the nomination for score
tary Of state IL Rev II. &. Bigelow, pastor
Of the vine street Congregational church
at Cincinnati. His name came into special
prominence st the close or the past week
where he headed the opposition 10 Lewis O..
Bernard in Hamilton county. Bigelow Is
close friend Of Mayor Tom johnson n
Cleveland who will preside over tho con
venton and he The most conspicuous and
influential figure in It.
There is lack OF candidates and no slate
Is likely to be made until after the arrival
Of Mayor Johnson with the Cleveland dele
cation Tuesday morning. II IS understood
that Mayor Johnson win bring with him
the platform while there are some dele
gates not In accord with Mayor Johnson
they are not disposed 10 oppose him, but
rather to let him have his way in every
thing this year. ito see what he can do on
the lines Of his now departure"
II is by no mems certain that the John
son platform will reafsirm the Kansas city
platform or indorse Bryan by name. The
general opinion is that Johnson will con.
fine his resolution almost entirely 10 State
issues. including especially his views on
taxation, franchises and all public utilities.
The drift Of opinion is that the Mclean
men will make no contest for anything ex-
cept for control OF the state central com
( mlttee and let their opponents select dele
\ gates to the state convention and have
| everything else The Mclean men have no
candidate for any place, and 1t Is conceded
/ that II Mayor Johnson wants Rev. II. b.
Bigelow as the candidate for secretary Of
state that there will be no opposition to
! the nomination

Shanghai August 3i.--The Anglo Chinese
commercial treaty has not been signed.
Sir James L. MacKay. representing Great
Britain, and the other commissioners met
August 30 for the purpose of signing the
treaty, but 1t was found that the Imperial
decree empowering the Chinese commits.

cable. This postponement has caused much
surprise, as 1t was thought to have been
settled and Sir James MacKay had ar
ranged to leave Shanghai. He has can.
celed his passage and is awaiting further
communications from Pekin.
Tie foregoing complications are partly
due TO the fact that decree abollshing the
Iikin tax was issued before the arrange.
nients for the imposition Of document IN Its
stead
The Chinese are seeking a loophole that
they may disregard this treaty later. sir
James MacKay today gave assurances that
the terms Of the treaty were not ques'

the Interpretation Of the decree.

NEW LEADER IN TWENTY-FIFTH.
Understood That Comr. awkes WIN
Retire at the Mayors Suggestion.

The Republicans Of the Twenty-ffth
Assembly district expect that Commits
sioner McDougal Hawkes. Of the Depart
ment Of Docks will announce that he will
not be a candidate again for the leader
ship Of the district. 1t is understood that
Mayor Low does not wan district leaders
for Commissioners. He has the power
of removal over all his appointees through
out their terms.
Mr.. Hawkes. won the leadership from
Charles A. Hess last September after a
bitter fight.
Alderman Herbert Parsons, who Is said
to nave more influence with President
Fornes han any other member of the
Board, is a candidate TO succeed Mr..
Hawkes.. Deputy County Clerk Henry
Birrell is also out for the office.
Mr.. Hess and his friends are not ready
TO say yet whether he will make another
attempt to get the office.
According 10 some of the political wise
men of the district Mr.. Parsons may with
draw from the fight in order to make a
canvass for the nomination for Congress
this fall. He ran for Congress in 1900
and was defeated. In the meantime the
friends OF James w. Perry, the leader Of
the Twenty-seventh district, think that
he is entitled to the nomination.
