OHIO COUNTY MEN
ARE FOR BENNETT
Nearly All the District conven-
tions Instruct for the
Lewis County Man.

Louis Bennett was endorsed for
governor in nearly all of the Demo-
cratic mass meetings held in Ohio
county Thursday night, and nearly all
adopted resolutions of coincidence up
on the death of ex-President Grover
Cleveland.
These We're the only items of busi-
ness transacted, which were not em-
braced in the call. The meeting were
well attended and all marked by en-
thusiasm, and the prevalence of a
very optimistic spirit regarding the
outlook for party success this fail.
The Bennett instructions were not
given in Richland, Webster Triadel
phia or Union. In the three first
mentioned districts no resolution was
offered bearing upon the guberna-
torial contest, but II, was reported
that nearly. IL not all who attended,
were favorable TO the Lewis county
man. In Union district his candi-
dacy was endorsed, but no instruc
because 1t was reported that Col. j.
A. Miller would be candidate for
state treasurer. and 1t was believed
that his candidacy might be injured
II the county went to the convention
with instructions for any candidate
for governor. afeaa
The same reason might have pre-
vented the .ctroduction of the reso-
luton instructlng for Bennett in the
other districts. Col. Miller. however.
took occasion in the Center district
meeting which he attended, to cor
rect the erroneous impression con-
cerning his candidacy for place ON
