The result of the deliberations places the third party directly and formaliy before the people as a contesting organization. ‘There are now in the state three separate and distinct political parties, all con- testing for supremacy and each with hopes of success, The complete capture of the erstwhile non- Partisan organization, the alliance, by the third partyites was little less than « revolution. While many thought the effort would be made none dared to predict its accomplishment. It came “like a thief at night” and carried off ‘the prize so quietly and successfully that even ite most sanguine leaders were astouished. ‘The final test wi da resolution providing that no alliance fuzds should be used for any other nce purposes and that lectur- ers of the organization be required to give time paid for by the state Alliance exclusively to the interest of the orderand not tothe es | pousal of any political cause. ‘THE FINAL STRUGOLE. This precipitated the final struggle. All the members realized the crisis had come and here marks tle democrats’ Waterloo. Mr. Wescott, Mr. Winston of Hanover and Mr. Thomas of Suffolk, the alliance democrats, made desperate fight to carry the ‘resolation. They warned the farmers against this “third party republican grab” as they called it and urged them to steer clear of political breakers and return to the original objects of the alli- ance. Their appeals were in vain, for the third , led on by State Senator J. H. -d away any impressions made by the alliance democrats. They promised un- limited prosperity in the demands of the third Party. The present burdens of the former were pictured in all their horror and the third party a8 a Mecca where all wrongs would be righted and all burdens relieved. A motion to lay the resolution on the table was adopted by a vote of about 50 to 30. ‘This ended the fight. The democrats gave » the struggle and did not accept the result. hey have already signified their intention to withdraw from the body. The following, all third party men, were selected to comprise the judiciary committee: Wm. Ellis of Montgom- ery, A. O. Baum of Princess Anne and J. R. Vingticld of Albemarle.

Sherman and Foraker Forces Opposed—Crit- iotem of the Democratic Management. Correapondence of The Evening Star. Couvaavs, Ono, August 19, 1892. William M. Hahn of Mansfield, Ohio, who has been given charge of the bureau of speakers by National Chairman Carter of the republican committee, has had ashort and remarkably successful career ass political manager. Five Years ago, when he became republican candi- date for member of the state board of public works, he was scarcely known outside his own county of Richland. Today he is known all over Ohio as the most astute political manager that the republican party in this state contains. He is a carpenter by trade, but left the beach carly in the seventies to engnge in tho insurance business, from which he has never fully with- drawn. He wus born in Carlisle, Pa., in 1845, so that he is now but forty-seven years of nge. Before the war broke out his parents had removed to Shelby, Ohio, from which place young Habn entered the army, lad of only sixteen years, being a drummer boy and | attached to company H, sixty-fourth Ohio brigade—Sherman's brigade. He subsequently served on Gen. Hooker's staff and was twice wounded. He learned the carpenter's trade after retiring from the army. Mr. Hahn is now serving his second term as member of the state board of public works. In the mn-Foraker senatorial fight last winter he espoused the cause of his neighbor, Senator John Sherman, and being state execu- tive chairman at the , was severely de- nounced for doing so by the Foraker wing of the party. Their bitter attacks upon him, probably more than anything else, made him one of the most pronounced of the anti-Foraker republicans. Last year, and three years ago, he wus state executive chairman of his party and led it to a decisive victory upon each occa- sion, electing Daniel J. Ryan secretary of state and the entire republican ticket in the first instance, and Maj. McKinley governor and the entire republican ticket in second. Just before each of these elections ve out in figures his estimate of what the result would be, and so close was it to the actual result in each case as to make one of two things abso- 1 iu, viz: That Mr. Hahn was a political prophet or a very thorough and eys- tematic campaign mazager. Itis the general opinion here in Ohio that he will prove a valuable acquisition to the man- agement of tie national republican campaign. CRITICISING THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE. Dr. J. A. Norton of Tiffin, ex-chairman of the state democratic executive committee, and now connected with the legal department of the Baltimore and Ohio railway, ix talking very freely and critically, too, concerning the new democratic state executiye committee and what it is doing, or rather not Ge a He makes no attempt to conceal the fact that the party or- ganization in the state has been captured com- pletely by the same faction of the party that captured and controlled the democratic state convention here in June and elected a delega- tion-at- ‘opposed to the nomination of ex- President Cleveland. Executive Chairman Fur- ley, he says, bas almost no experience in state politics, while Vice ‘ole, he says, has repeatedly proved himself a failure as a political manager. and his act at the third party state convention in declaring that if the fact appeared that the republicans were making use of the divisions in the democratic party to divide North Carolina white men he must be in a position to step down and out as the third party's nominee for | governor and take his place in line with the democrats in their state campaign. Shrewd politicians say that really his declaration was a Taster stroke. but his party had not the grasp of mind to understand it. If they had given the privilege thas demanded Skinner could have informed the republican party (anxious { above all things to defeat the democrats) that if it put up a state ticket he would come down and cast bis influence for the democratic state ticket. The bulk of the republican voters would have in such a case been whipped by their lead- ers into suyj porting Skinner, and with thi and that of the third party terror to tae democrats. But all this chance is now past. At Edenton yesterday at the third party con- vention of the second district Skinner was nominated for Congress. As in the case of the bernatorial nomination here, be got it by acclamation. He made the same requirement that he made of the state conventién and again he was turned down. He withdrew his name, i as he did hefore, and then E. A. Moye of itt county was nominated. J. T. % veteran republican, was nominated for elector. jow, then, for a strange statement. ‘Skinner's plan was the one which would have really endangered democratic success, because would have practically forced @ coalition of republicans and third party men, the republi- cans end third party men are today that Skinner was prompted by the democrats, particularly by ex-Gov.

A VISIT FROM STEVEXSON. The democratic executive committee has ad- i movement | vices from Mr. A. E. Stevenson that he will en- ter the state from the west, and will make his first speech at Asheville and his second at Ra- leigh. He will everywhere meet with a demonstration. It is rare that North is visit from rel ul: i ft rk Hi | a|the matter. Dr. Norton has traveled all over the state in rosecuting his work for the Baltimore and Bhie company during the last month, and he says the conditions were never more favorable for carrying Ohio for the democracy than he | finds them at present. All that is needed. he says, to insure a democratic victory in the state is an intelligently managed campaigns which he evidently fears the party will not have. THE OLD SHERMAN-FORAKER FIGHT. At the very outset of the campaign work the state executive committee of the republicans and the state republican league, Sherman and Foraker organizations respect come involved in a quarrel that complicated as it progresses and promises to make the Foraker-Sherman fight much more | prominent in the coming campaign than it was in the last. The fact that the league arranged some weeks ago to open ita campaign work with a meeting at Island Park, near Cin- cinnati, has already been referred to in TuE Sra. “The arrangements were made, it is said, with the advice and consent of Executive Chair- men Dick, who promised to aid the managers the meeting the opening one of the cami It is evident now that this action did not meet with endorsement by the state executi' committee, although nothing was given out at the last meeting of any action being taken in Chairman Dick immediately changed his attitude toward the Woodsdale meeting, gave out that it was not to be the openi ting of the campaign in Ohio at all, ahd faifed to aid in securing speakers. Worse than this the league managers began to find difficulty in securing speakers of national re- pute. Those they had induced to to come their agreements and no others poe be —- their places. In this con- ion of things Jeague managers charged ow that the executive committee had de- liberately gone to work to undermine the Woodsdale Island mening arrangements. Last Wednesday Col. L. Chase of Dayton and W. H. Gardner of Cincinnati, members of the committee of arrangements for the Woods- dale Island meeting, came here to meet Chair- man Dick and reach an understanding, but Mr. Dick failed to appear. NOT UNFRIENDLY TO CLEVELAND. Capt. Gilbert H. Bargar, the new treasurer of the state executive committee, said to THE ‘Star representative that it was a mistake to class him as unfriendly to ex-Presiden' land, saying that whatever the balance of the committee thought of Mr. Clevi date, he certainly bad gt reasons to sup} him, as he held under Mr. veland’s adi tration one of the most Yesponsible federal offices in Ohio, that of pension agent. = eee MR.

Came Foster, Toxcursree Beacu, Mp., Aug. 19, 1892. A person unacquainted with camp life and especially military camp cannot appreciate what great benefits may be derived from them until they have had experience. Such experi- ence the Corcorans have had and ever yone readily concedes that, this has been the most succewsful ever held. The work in drilling, standing guard, &c., is far overbalanced by the pleasures and many happy incidents that hap- pen during an encampment, while it is not to be supposed that a nine-day camp as this is and paid by the men individually and not by the government, as some suppose, should be very strict in the military line. Such, however, is not the case, for it would be harder to find a more strict order of things than is here, Hardl a person visits the camp who does not remar! upon the military law that prevails over all and the soldierly bearing of the men. The drills this morning were short owing to the fact that the cadets have become thoroughly instructed and efficient during their short stay and drilled merely enough to keep in practice. Last night's exhibition was the best yet, the firings being perfect. st night everything off and it was close onto midnight be- fore the dancing ceased. A surprise was wait- ing, however, for the dancers, which was ex- plained when supper was announced, with the compliments of the Misses Schilling “and Gib- son of Baltimore.
