Camp- boll is renomynated for governor and the anxioty of the party leaders is now_directed to the absorbing query, “Will Hamilton wmounty suppert the ticket!” If the Cincin- nati delegates in thole manifostations of re- lentless opposition and hostility today truly represented the feelings of their people, then the conclusion {s genoral that & considerablo portion of the democratic cohorts of Hamil- ton county will not rally to the support of Governor Campbell in the next election. On overy possiblo occasion, ns well aftor ns bofors Camphell's nomination was nssured, the mere mention of his name was sufficient to provoke vigorous hisses from the Cincinnati delegates. Even when his nomi- nation was formally anuounced, and M, Kline's friends, in accordanco with the time- nonored custom moved to make the nomina- tion of James 1. Campbeil unanimous, tho Hamilton county friends of Mr. Neal per- sistontly refused to permit the soal of har- Ynnuy to be tamped on the record, and loudly voted “No' as they hissed the name of the nominee. It is almost a proverb in the political lore of tho stato that “As Hamilton county goes in the autumnal clections, so goes tho statn of Ohio.” 1f this be accepted as the infalli- ble rule the importance of harmonizing the discordant elements in Hamilton county may )‘r\ oIl merit the anxiety of the democratic «aders, ‘Uhe nomination of aCincinnati man for tho office of supreme judge, it was hoved, would to some extent allay the hostility of tho Hamilton county delegates to the candi- ducy of Campbell, but whether this de- sired effect will be realized .is alto- gether problematical and can only be de- termined by time. It must bo stated that the Campbell majority macaged tho fuvention with consummute tact. The knotty parliamentary questions were quickly and decisively disposed of by rulings gener- erally to tho advantage of the dominant fac- tion and roll calls on points of oraer and ap- peals from the chair's decisions were averted. At the same time the majority veceived w! all the philosophical resignation of the victor the taunts and accusations that were throwi at them and their candidate oy the anti- Campbell factions, thus probably avoiding a row which would likely have resulted haa all these gibes been returned in kind. The persistent refusal of Neal, Governor Campbell's defeated opponent, to appear he- fore the conveution and to tell how hestands, oven aftera committes had beon appointed to convey him the formal invitation, hias con- tributed more than anything else to the feel- ing of anxiety which prevades the democratic hosts this evening. It is generally the or- deal inflicted upon every defeated candidate that he must mount the stage and tell how gratificd he is after all that such a good mun as his opponent has received the ncmi- nation, but Mr. Neal persistently refused to dergo this ordeal, and the Guestion now 1s, wad this refisal actuated by mortification and wounded pride, or does it mean that Neal throws down tho gauntlet and will permit his Hamilton county friends to fight Gov- ernor Campbell at the poils? Upon the auswer to this query largely deponds the question of democratic victory or defeat in tho coming election. Called to Order. (™™ Promptlyat 12:3) Chairman Norton of tho state central committee called the convention to order, and Rev. J. W. Campbell invoked the divine blessing upon the convention. Chairman Norton then formally opened the convention in a vrief but strorg address. He denounced the ropublican party and the Mc- Kinley tariff bill in_ the usual torms, aud as- serted thot everything good under the consti- tution was in thedemocratic party. He closed with a eulogy to Hon. Allen Gi. Thurman and Introduced his son, Allen W. Thurman, as temporary chairman. Thurman's Plea to the Farmers. Thurman, after a few preliminary remarks, Inunched forth with a denunciation of the re- publican party and its mothods. He paid particular attention to the ucts of the last congress, which ho denounced for tho enac ment of the Mckinley tarifft bill and the sub- sidy bills and its efforts to pass the force bill. » Continung he said: Tho time is near when the people will ex- press thele belief in yeomple nd not re strictod reclprocity; when they will no fon; sustain any party which levies und collects a dollar In taxes over and above that which is required to wisely and economieally adminis- tor the affuirs of government; when they will give duo notice that infant Industries that been nursed fora hundred years have arrived ut an age when they must take care of themselves: when thoy will brand a vro- tective turiif as stealing, its advocates us beg- gars, and demand that we must have a tarlff for revenue only, U most earnestly beseech the farmers,whose Interests are 1dentioally the san: ¥ oW to follow this courso ana give up the wild schemes of the government aning money upon warehouse cortiticates or upon the tak- ing possession of the rallwiys and telegraphs By the government. the liternal hnprove- nients that they demund, and w dozon other PMAOR Issucs hat Bl IOMA" ROt oply .

Grand Jury’s Entire Session Dectared Void and All Cases Dismissed. Kearyey, Neb., July 15.--[Special Tele- gram to Tue Ber.]—A big sensation .was produced in the district court this afternoon when the case of the State vs. Birdsall was called. The case was tho fifth and last of the celebrated perjury cases as published in vesterday’s Beg. W. L. Groene, attorney for the defense, moved to quash the indict- ment found by the grand jury on the ground that the jury was selected irregularly from the voting precincts, and therefore its work was illegal. This_fell like a comet over the bar and Judge Hamer adjourned court for the time being and took counsel with the leading at- torueys present. In @ few minutes court was called to order and the judge sustained the motion, and all of the indictments of the grand jury were then declared annulled, but the ruling: would not offect tho persons who had been tried and found guilty, Birdsall, who has been held with four others, was discharged, the others being found guilty yesterday. Each of them, Joseph Baltzor, George A. Rovee, Thomas Comstock and J. B. B. McWerthy were sentenced to one year in the penitentiary smnd to pay the costs of the prosecution. Gustave Schanck, who was found guilty of obtaining money under false pretenses, re ceived a like sentence. All of the men have families. Several other criminal cuses were stricken from the docket by the order. A mundamus case brougkt here from Broken Bow, in which the Woman’s Chris- tian Temperance uniou sought to compel the city council to revoke a saloon granted to Henry Horseman, was tried today beforo Judge Hamer. The mandamus was granted the plaintiffs. Just before tho adjournment of court a long decision was handed down in the Kearney & Black Hills bond injunction case in favor of the railrond company. The matter involves 5,000 which the city voted to aidin buding the road. The road was built per agreement and when the bonds were asked for an injunction suit was brought, restraining the city from 1ssuing them on'the ground of fraud in the election, charging that money bad been used. to buy votes and other irregularities.
