CAMPBELL IS CHOSEN. Democrats ot Ohio Again Call Upon Him to be Governor. Vor Governor—James E. Camp- bell, Beatler county. For Lieutenant Governor—Jobn | B. Peaslee, Hamilton county. For State auditor—James Knott, Richland county. For State treasurer—Wm. Sholer, Gulia county. For Supreme judge—William T. Mooney, Auglaize county. For attorney general—George A. Fairbanks, Franklin county. For member Board of Public Work—-Harry B. Keefer, Tuscarora county. For clerk of Supreme court—J. W. Cruikshank, Miami county. Springfield, O, Aug. 21.—The Democratic State convention here today made all its nominations with- out opposition. The convention was in session from 10:10 to 2 p. m., and nominations were completed in half an hour after ex-Governor Campbell had been drafted for the standard bearer. The ballots were all on the minority report, on credentials and the time was consumed between the gold and the silver men. The gold men, headed by Senator Brice, had claimed that there would be less than 300, avd probably not more than 200 of-the 800 delegates vote for free silver. The silver men claim- ed they would have no less than 300 and perhaps 350 delegates for free silver. It developed that there were 270 free silver delegates. It was a fighting minority, but could not carry the fight farther on the platform. The nominee for mem- ber of the Board of Public Works is said to be the only free silver man on the State ticket, although lines were not drawn on the candidates. There was considerable enthusiasm on Campbell’s nomination. He de- feated ex-Governor Foraker is 1889, and was defeated for reelection as Governor in 1891 by McKinley, Jr., the present incumbent. The nomination of Campbell means an aggressive campaign in Ohio, where McKinley is now recognized asa candidate for President and Foraker for Senator and Brushnell for Governor. It is generally un- derstood that Campbell was induced to make the race by promises of support for the Presidential nomina- tion in the event of his success next November, in which case he would again confront his old opponent, McKinley, should the latter be nom- inated. And in cooperating with Senator Brice for a Democratic Leg- islature, ex-Governor Campbeil is al- so again confront his oid opponent, Foraker. W.

The woman carries a small whip that she does not hesitate to lay on the backs of the dogs when they become unruly. The turnkey at the gate knew the woman by sight and was surprised when she asked for Durrant. “What business have you with him?” the gate tender asked. “I just want to see him,” was the reply. “Have you a permit?” “No.” “Then then you can’t see him.” The woman begged so hard that the turnkey adopted a ruse that has | A QUEER STREAK It is queer because it Qoes not always | run through Groceries, Good Quality As a sample our Is another name for it HONEY CURED HAMS are notable, specially nice, tender, mild eured Another sample is our choic: BREAKFAST BACON Don’t imagine fora minute because we sel the Majestic Steel range the best cooking ap- ea cook « I Bain Wagon, Corn Sheilers, Cider Mills, Meat Cutters, Sausage Mills, Kraut Cutters, Lanterns, Indiana Grain Drills, Moline Stirring Plows, Good Enough Sulky Plow, Flying Dutchman Sulky Plow.

He was made a brigadier genderal and later a major general and distinguished himself on many battlefields. After the war he re- sumed the pratice of law and had many narrow escapes from prison because of his boldness in defense of the rights of his people. In 1857 he was elected to the United States senate over Hon. John H. Reagan ‘and Ex-Goy. Throckmorton,and was re-elected in 1881 over the same op- position. He was defeated for a third term,in 1887,because he would not yield to the popular clamor against railroads and other corpora- tions, since which time he bas lived in retirement.

Yesterday the court was informed that the suit had been compromised but the court would not consent. The judge said: *-I will not take no- tice of any settlement. The case will have to be tried, and that by a jury composed one-half of women and the other half of men. I have been looking forward to the trial of this case with a great deal of inter- est and it will be settled in no other way than by trial.” Morton’s Object-Lessen, Wasbiagton, Aug. 16.—Secretary Morton gave what he regards as an object-lesson te the employees of the Department of Agriculture yes- |terday, the wemi-monthly pay day, |by ordering the paymaster to pay} out $1,000 in silver coin especially | |to well-known silverites.
