''The Barred Plymouth Rock is of a
grayish-white color, regularly crossed
with parallel bars of blue black running
in straight distinct lines throughout
the entire length of the feather, and
showing on the down OF under-color

To Prevent Demurrage Bills.

In order that the District may not be
called upon to pay demurrage bills, NJ.
Hargrove. property clerk. has requested
of the Commissioners authority to notify
all contractors shipping material in car
load lots that after January Is they must
consign such shipments to themselves, as
the District will not receive or be respon-
sible for any shipments consigned to the
Commissioners.
This request is made by Mr.. Hargfove
in view of the fact that he recently re-
ceived from the Philadelphia. Baltimore
and Washington Railroad Company a let
ter notifying him that there are twenty
carloads of pipe and brick on the I'd and
streets siding. and that demurrage will
probably result. If such should be the
case the company desires to know whether
the demurrage bills will be promptly paid
by the District.

THE OHIO DEMOCRACY
NAV OFFER HARMoN'S NAME.
JOHNSON FOB BRYAN.

CINCINNATI. Ohio, December 30
Jackson day is perhaps better observed
by Ohio democrats than the democrats
of any northern state. 1t was learned
vester6ay that at either one or several Of
these banouets the name of Judson Har-
mon of Cincinnati will be presented as
the choice of Ohio democrats for Presi-
dent in the democratic national conven-
tion which is to assemble in Denver
July Z.
For some time past there has been a
growing feeling among the democrats of
the state that the Ohio delegation should
he instructed to vote in the national con-
vention as a unit for Judge Harmon.
This movement, it was stated yesterday,
NAV crystallize at Columbus January 6,
when the legislature assemblies. On that
day there will be at Ohios capital demo-
Gratis from all of the twenty-one congress
sional districts in the state. Most or the
democrats of the state are aware OF the
democratic feeling for Judge Harmon, al
though as yet no systematic work has
been put in for him. Notwithstanding
this fact, it is very generally known thal
Ohio democrats want candidate or their
own to present to the national convention
and almost by common consent they have
turned to Judge Harmon
Harmon and Bryan in Accord.
There are no differences of personal
nature between Judge Harmon and Will
liam ]. Bryan. 1t is true that Judge
Harmon. as Attorney General in Cleve-
lands last cabinet. differed seriously with
Col. BRYAN at one time. This was be-
cause Col Bryan persisted in criticising
Mr. cleveland for the bond issue during
Mr. Ceyeland's last administration
since those days though, Col. Bryan has
become aware of the actual facts con-
cerninr the bond issue, and Mr.. Bryan
in the Commoner, made a highly eulogis-
tic statement of the facts. reversing his
position. making 1t known that the bond
issue was heritage OF the Harrison ad-
ministration, and so when Col. Bryan
comes to Cincinnati, he and Judge Har-
mon will be on the pleasantest footing.
In 1900 Judge Harmon presided at the
BRYAN meeting in this city. All this is
told for the purpose of making IL plain
that even some of the warmest friends
of Bryan in Ohio believe that Ohio should
have a democratic candidate to present to
the next democratic national convention
and that Judge Harmon should be the
man.
The democratic state convention which
is to name the four delegates-at-large to
the national convention, will be held at
Columbus. probably in May, and by that
time the delegates for the twenty-one con-
gressional districts in the state will have
been selected. There we're democrats here

Harmon Opposed by Josnson.

harmon opposed oy .Josnson.
Judge Harmon will be opposed by Mayor
Tom L. johnson of Cleveland, who con-
trolls the two congressional districts of
Cuyahoga county, but inasmuch as the
delegation in national conventions votes
under the unit rule. Mayor Johnson. it is
expected. will be swept off his feet by
the democratic sentiment Of the state for
an Ohio democrat. that democrat being
Judge Harmon.
Few democratic politicians in the state
are aware of the exact position to be
taken by Harvey CARRIER. democratic state
chairman. Mr.. CARRIER. like Mayor John
son, is a Bryan man, but there Is a very
severe personal and political alteration
going on between the two men. Mayor
johnson Is democratic national committee
man for the state only by the appoint
ment of Chairman Thomas Taggart,
whereas. the democratic sentiment of the
state favors the elevation of Mr.. CARRIER
as democratic committeeman. The differ
ences between Mr.. CARRIER and Mayor
Johnson it was said today. will not in
any way interfere with the sentiment of
the state that the democrats should send
delegation to the national convention
pledged to Judge Harmon. The differences
between these two men, also, 1t was
stated, will not conflict with the personal
relations existing between Col. Bryan and
Judge Harmon. -.----...
