Ohio Delegation.
st. Louis. July 6.-An interesting
session was held by the Ohio delega-
ton Tuesday evening. 1t was decided
at the caucus not to present the
names of Colonel James Kilbourne
and Judson Harmon for president.
The meeting was held in a large
hall at the Lindell. Every delegate
we're present, and there were fully 300
other Ohio men present to watch the
proceedings. The excitement was in
tense and from 9 p. m until long after
midnight the contending factions
wrestled with motions, most Of which
were merely parliamentary plays.
Charles Salen of Cleveland was de.
feated in his effort to prevent the re-
election Of John r. Mclean as na.
tional committeeman.
The first real test vote vas on the
eelectiou of member Of the commit
tee ON resolutions. In this Aght John
A. Mcmahon of Dayton won by vote
of &c to 10 for Tom L. Johnson and
one for M. A. Daugherty. The Daugh-
erty vote was cast by DR.. Gillian Of
Columbus.
The contest for national committee
man was exciting, but the Mclean
men got one vote more than they ex-
pected and won by 27 to IL for Bruck-
er and three for w. L. Finley. John.
son, Salen and Salen's proxy voted for
Finley
In the contest between Dan Torpey
and John H. Clarke for member Of the
committe to notify the nominee for
president, Clarke got 27 to 10 for
Torpey.
After other committeeships were
decided, Judge Bulger of the New
York delegation was introduced and
he made speech urging the Ohio del
egates to vote for Parker. John ].
Delaney, corporation counsel of New
York, followed in a speech opposing
Parker.
Ed H. Moore of Youngstown, one OF
Ohio's delegates-at-large, said he was
in favor of voting for an Ohio man,
but since partisans of Kilbourne and
Harmon had failed to present their
candidates names. he moved that tho
her vote for Mayor George B. McClel-
Ian of New York. He was loudly ap-
plauded by the spectators.
]. H. Platt of Tiffin moved to amend
by inserting the name of Judge Alton
Brooks Parker. This brought Judge
Wellington Stillwell to his feet with a
protest, and he moved as substitute
fhot fhn dnlnuofinn - tha ~
Ohio for Judson Harmon of Cincin-
n. Il. This move smoked out support
ers OF Harmon. They were routed,
and acknowledged it. Harlan Cleve-
land, in a speech of some length, an
nounced that he was authorized by
Mr.. Harmon to ask the delegates not
to support the Stillwell motion.
Then started a sparring match
which continued at full blast for an
hour, Ed H. Moore, r. I. Gregory.
Charles Salen. w. L. Finley, Judge
StiIlwell and A. N. McCombs In turn
making addresses against unit rule
and against forcing men to support
Judge Parker In the convention who
were elected by men who were and
still are opposed to Parker.
Salen attempted to secure time and,
after fruitless discussion. upon mo.
tion Of Judge Stillwell, the whole sub
ject was tabled.
At this point John Mcmahon arose
and moved that, simply in an informal
way and not to bind any delegate, the
roll be called and each delegate ex.
press his personal preference. FOR a
