All over the Stato the graves have given up thoir dead. Tho Gabriel of July 80 has aroused men who have hob boen heard of hore in many years. Tho result "ime mediatoly apparent ~ Loro to-night, on a firat glanco around, is o iunnru‘l inclination to throw tho Btate over to tho Republican pnrty with a whoross, rather than to give tho slightest aid and comfort to tho Pooplo's party. ‘Tho ma- Jority of the dolegatos Loro now seem to have come with tho dotormination of kioking ngainat tho movoment of the 80th rathor than of doing anything to rofloct orodit upon or securo succoss to their party, Tho foeling is one of vindiotive- noss bocauso of somothing that hne boen dono, rather than of determination to do momething and hopo for the success of that something. Thoro was talk oarly in the day of o._siraight tickot, to completoly lf;nom that of tho 30th. That {alic lus grown withy tho hours, untl it bus ‘becomo tho one iden of tho delogations Loro now. Early in tho day, thor was talk of such o man 08 John McSwoony, of Wooster, for .Govornor, and now, since the old Bourbous of fifty yonrs' standing Liave como in, tho dio a namo raked up from the far past, of Willinm Allon, of Ross County, ouce brillinut in tho Son- ato of thio United Statos. As it looks now, Mr. Allon will be nominated to-morrow for Governor, Samuel Fouton, Oarey's chances for the first placo having fadod into a more nothing, that ontleman's fow frionds aro urging him now for ieutenant-Governor, L. D, Campbell, of Butlor County, was spoken of by n fow 18 o posslblo candidate for Governor, but his namo seoms to have boon droflmd. Thera is a tingular paucity of candidatos for othor places, Nouo ara talked about o8 yet, save Wallnco, of Clark County, for Attorney-Goneral. ‘Ihiore aro o fow dolexates hiero who liavo somo bopo that tho delogates yot to como to-night and to-morrow may mako a” renctionary movement, but it is decldedly aforlorn hope, I judge. Thoro aro not a scoro hore thus far, and they lack n lendor, Tho apparontly overwholming dotormi- nation in favor of the straight and unterrified thing scoms to intimidate thom. A moeting of the Hamilton County delegation, from Cincinneti and ita suburbs, was held to- night, Thero wero twonty-nino out of forty-six delogates prosent. With'a fow excoptions the delogation favorod a stright ticket. Binding aotion was postponad, to await the arrival of the delogates, ] [Zo the Associated Prees.) Corunnus, 0., Aug. 5,—~Tho indications aro that tho Straightout Domocratic Convention to- morrow will b0 & vory large and carnest ono. Thore has hoon no conveution hero for years that has shown so many Democratic whool- lorgos a8 aro now hore. Early in the day thore might hiave boon s fow who hoped for aid and comfort for tho nominees of the Peoplo’s Con- vention held Iast wook, but o talk with tho dele- bears atos pub ihis out of tho quostion. 'horo i8 o most porsistont dotormiuation to ignoro nnd do all that is possible to wipe out all conngoted with the conveution of Inst wool, Wm. Allen, of Ross; Lewis D. Campboll, of Butlor; Jobn McSwoony, of Wooster snd 8. T, Curey, of IHamilton, havo beon talked of for Governor; but all aro now out of the way except Allen, and he will bo nominated to head tho ticket to-morrow by ac- clamation. Tho party leadors have aseurances that Allon will accopt if the nomination iy unanimous. Thoro is littlo talk of candidates for subordinato offices; but, if thoy will accept, it is quito {;mhnmn that oithor MMoSweony or Caroy will bo nominated Lioutonant-Governor.

THE ERIE. Important Suits to Be Brought Against the Company. An Effort to Bo Hado to Throw tho Com- pany Into Bankruptey. Special Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune, ,New Yonk, Aug. 5.—"Threo suits are ahout to Yo brought ngatnat tho Erle Railway Company. Xt iu impossiblo as yob Lo toll whother the move- monts are simply to depross stock, dopose the presont administration, or Lo throw thoe rond into bankruptoy, Jny Gauld, who is boaring stocks, smong thom Erie, in whichho is heavily in- volyed, denies any connection with them ; butit ia vory cortain that within a fow days his coun- sol, Duvid Dudloy Ficld and ex-Judge Fullerton, havo been associuted with othors in the cage. Some weoks ago Gould snd Fuller- ton jointly altempted to dopress Pacifio Mail in the same way by rumors of s suit, and ondenvored,to got the™ Z'ribung of this city to publish the fucts as furnished to ono of tho ro- portors. The Tribune, on invostigating tho statoment, found it uniruo in ono important articular, and doolined to publish any part of » Tho noxt dny tho ZUmes wns induced to publish the story, and Paciflo Mail foll for a dny or two, but flnal l! rocovored. ‘The connection of Fullortonand Iield with the presont suits gives curroncy to tho roport that it is on at- tompt of Gould to dopross stocks. The rumors of theo imponding suits have agitated cortain cirolos in Wall stroot for days, and gouorally ‘boen accopted as an indication that tho rond was about to enter on anothor orn of bittor snd pro- longod litigation, Tho opinion that tho suits aro Jovolod at tho prosont administration is based on the charaotor of tho first bwo suits, Ouo of thouo is in tho name of o large holder of Ern[crrod stocls, who nllu{;ua that ho was injured y the violation of ofiicial trust of the Company ia issuing bonds, tho procoeds of. which had boen appliod to the paymont of a dividend on common stock, The ~ preferred stockhold- or declares that this was illogal, jnnsmuch ag the preforrod stock was entitlod to an annual dividend of 7{‘)01' cont, to bo paid bofore an. dividend on the common stocl could bo paid. The holdor of common stook, who sues, is nsso- cinted with the bondholdor of a railroad, o por- tion of whoso soouritios are guaranteed by tho Erie, nnd bna tho same design of decluring tho acts of tho prosont Dirootors illogal, The third suit, and most important, is intonded to throw the Eric Company into bankruptey, it is bolioved. 1t is nssorted by somo that thiwis roally insti- gatod in tho interest of James Mcllonry dnd the Atlantic & Great Wostern. NMcHenry is on his way horo and duo in a short timo, ‘The suit isto ben formal demand to doclare the Company bankrupt_for non-paymont of interest on the Boston, Martford & Erio Nailrond bonds, which Lric guarautced. Tho Boston, Huvtford & Erio wag organized for tho purposo of oponing o through railrond from Boston to the Hudson Rivor. According toullogationsin tho complaint, tho proprigtors of the Loston, Hartford & Trin dotorminod to build the road, and make tho Erio pay a8 much as possible for its construction. With this objoct in viow, John 8. Eldridgo, then President and principal promoter of tho Boston, Martford & Erio, with the aid of confodorates in the Board of Directors of the Erio, so- cured stock and proxios enough to control the annuul oloction of the latler corporation. Upon tho organization of his Board, Eldridgo wns clected Prosidont of the Erio; Aloxander 8. Divon( Vico-Presidont ; and Daniel Drow,T'rensurer. {¥he firat act of this Di- rectory was to ratify tho contract botweon the Erio and Boston, Hartford & Erio, whereby tho formor was to gusranteo 85,000,000 of 7 por cont firat mortgago bonds to the latter corporation, ‘Tho interest on theso bonds was paid for a short timo by tho Erio, but tho paymeuts woro finnlly stopped, and have never boon rosumed. Tho finnticial affawrs of tho Boston, Hurtford & Erio grow rapidly bad, until tho stock is mow golling at "8 to 4 conts on tho dollar. TFredorick A. Lanoe finally becamo Prosidont, and at Inst gave it up in disgust, and, a8 o last blow at tho road, hnd Tis oftlco-mun, ono John Rooney, eleoted its Presidont. This peoudo Prosident, on being interroguted to-day, said that the suit to throw Lirlo into bankraptey was to bo brought in good faith, but it is not gouorally supposed thiat ho knows anything of what is going on in the mattor. A lawyer nnmed A. 8. Vanderpool has been retained. 1fo is tho law-partnor of A.

Although the best economists are opposed to the plan of lovying an oxport duty ou coal, much dissatisfaction might ariko, in” a time of scarcity and dearth, if n popular monsuro were rejocted on the ground that foroign States had u right to insist on roceiving uu untaxed supply.
