Sherman furthersaid he believed the meeting to be hela to-day and to-morrow will be the beginning of the good time when the republican party will be restored in the nation and state. A caucus of the opponents of the Sherman resolution was held at?2 this atternoon, under the lead of Judge West, who nomin- ated Blaine in 1554 at Chicago. The convention was called to order at 4:30.

Bingham and Congressmen McKinley and E. B. Taylor. This committee is the cen- ter of interest, as the “Sherman resolution” is betore i for consideration, When the announcements of the various commitiees were concluded interest was at Athens, ris Keifer at once moved that all resolutions go to the committee without debate. 'This was adopted. Mr. Grosvenor then read the fol- owing resolution : TRecognizing, as republicans of Ohio al- ways have, the gifted and tried statesmen of the republican party of other states, loyal and unfaltering in their devotion to the cess of the orcanization or 1888, under w! ever standard-bearer the republican national convention may seleet, they has in the record and carecr of John “Sherman a8 a member of the republican party. a statesman of fidelity, large experience and great ability.

Immediately Colonel J. G. Munson, of Zanesyille, arose and offered the ultimatum of the anti-Sherman men in the following ‘That we hereby pledge the and enthusiastic support of the re- publicans of Hhio to the nowinee of the next national convention; and in this con- nection we call the attention of the rcpub- licans of Ohio to the eminent services and eminent career of Hon. John Sherman, The convention then adjourned uutil 10 o'clock to-motrow morning. ‘Ihe two reso- lutions above given are in the hands of the commuittee on resolutions, which will prob- ably be at work most of the night. The op- onents of Sherman’s endoisement offer to et the second resolution pass unanimous- 1y, but declare thay will fizht the Grosvenor resolution on the tloor to the bitter end. At 1l p. m, the committes on resolutions passed the irst Sherman resolution, the one absolutely and unqualitiedly endorsing Sen- ator Sherman for its presidentis bya vote ot 18 to3, which $ T made unanimous. ‘The platform reaflivms the Dow and favors such additions thereto as seem to be demanded by the en- lightened spirit of the age. It takes stroug protective ground regarding the tarift, and s emphatic in its_condemnation of the im- porta of foreign contract labor. "It con- demns the democratie party of Ohio in strong terms, and on other points takes the usual republican position. Maryland Democrats.

Taltavall, editor of the Elec- tric Age, who is one of the committee having charge of the proposed purchase, said: *I haven’t bothered myself much about this matter. Tom O'Reilly, president of the Tele:raphers’ brotherhood, is the man you ought to see. He is very busy just now in arranging the purchase and 1 do not know where you will find him at this moment. A syndicate of capitalists has otfered to put up $500,000 as a first payment 1f the telegraph- ers will agree to run the Baltimore & Ohio in onposition to the Western Union.

Attorney General Leese Says the Enacting Olause is all Right. POOL SELLING NOT PROHIBITED. The Act Sodrawn as Only to Militate Against Gaming Housecs—Careless Beatrice Builders—Other State News. Pools Can be Sold. LiscoLs, Neb., July ¢ (Special Tele- gram to the Bre.]—This evening Attorney General Leese forwarded to John A. Mc- Shane, secretary of the Omaha fair associa- tion, an opinion on the gambling law in re- #ponse 1o a letter from Mr. McShane asking if pool selling in races could bs interpreted as a violation of the law. This afternoon, from some source, the rumor was abroad that it had been discoverea in Omaha that there was no enacting clause attached to the gambling bill. The original bill was con- sulted at the secretary of state's oilice and foundto contain no such error. Attorney General Lee: opinton, as forwarded to Mr. McShane, is as follows: J. A. McShane, Omaha, Neb.—In answer to your communication of the 2ith asking my nrmlnn rolative to senate tile YS—the gam- bling sce—prohibiting from selling pools at the races for your fair, L will say that this naw act amends sections 214 and 215 ot our eriminal code. There has been a report that the new law had no enacting clause, but thij is a mistake, and [ know of no good reaso why the law is nota good and valid one. Section 214, as amended, makes it unlawful forany person to play at any game whatever for money, or bet any monev upon any gaming table, bank or device prohibited by law, or ator upon ‘any other gambling device, or who shiall bet ‘on any zame played at, or by meansof any such game, table or gambling device, shall be punished by a tine of fromn $100 to 8300, or imprisol in the peniten- tiary not more than one year. 1 do not un- derstand that selling pools will come within the definition of a wame, wambling table, gambling bank, or gambling device, but the old law was a direct piohibition against making any bet or warer. But the new act repeals the old section and I do not ‘understand that the new act operates aeainst selllng pools. If the new act had been made to prohibit a person from betting, it would have been so ex- pressed. Either the language of the old law would have been inserted or words equiva- lent thereto; and from a fair construction of the law as now in_force, it prohibits people from keeping gamoling houses and gambling tables, banks or devices, and also pronibits persons from betting any woney or propecty of value upon any such gambiing table, and I do not believe that the law was made to prohibit pool selling.

LoxG P1Ng Neb,, July 27.-—|Special Tele- gram to the Brk.|—As the train stobped at the depot in Long Pine on the evening of the 26th the playing of bands and the firing of canan greeted the ears of Governor Thayer and Commander Russell.

Rev. Dr. Evans, of Chicago, introduced Governor Thayer to the people a8 the chairman ot the forenoon exercises, The governor stepped forward and in a neat, well worded speech thanked themn for the honor bestowed and the courtesies ex- tended, and expressed his surprise at the numbers present, the beauty of the grounds and the ever-abundant pure, sparkling water. He commendad the managers on the unpre- cedented success of the new enterprise and wished for it a grand success in the future. The people applauded the governor wished him welcome. The great speech of the day was delivered by Dr. Evans, of Chi- cazo, on the Freeedom™ of Nations and the Rebellion. 1t was a studied and well de- livered discourse which pleased every one and was very appropriate for the oecasion.

Boyd, of Ainsworth, and several others, Re Wannamaker, a native of South Carolina, delivered a ring- ing loyal speech which enthused every one present to the hizhest pitch. The Grand Army also organized a branen for the north- west to meet on the assembly grounds an- nually.
