2170 Euclid AveDue, Monday Afternoon at 2 O'clock. ty-Ave delegates to the state convention to be held in Columbus June 29 and 30. The result of the primaries Friday night Indicated that Judge Noble's candidacy 4 was badly handicapped, he being unable to carry his own county convention. Judge Noble's name was not even wugrested in the convention and there was but one test of strength in the whole proceedIng. This test could hardly be taken as a true indication of strength, as many of the country delegates voted with Noble who were sent to the convention as favoring an unpledged delegation.
'The test came on a vote to decide whether or not the delegates to the state convention should be selected by wards and townships or by a nominating committee. Even with the strength thrown to them by the rural delegates, who seldom favor the committee nomination scheme, the Noble people were overwhelmingly beaten on the proposition. Wild scenes of disorder marked the convention when the motion was made which provided for the selection of delegates to the state convention by 3. committee. The small Noble following, together with some of the country delegates, rent the air with yells of disapproval.
The majority was not the fraction of a lap behind in their fort to outdo the minority. The combinaLion of noises put up by the whole convention, augmented by a hundred spectators, was calculated to cause any well regulated boiler shop to turn green with envy. But for this episode the convention was orderly and harmonious. The delegation sent to Columbus is unpledged us to the state ticket nominees. The convention ect an example for the state delegates by adopting strong resolutiong indorsing the free silver movement and the entire Chicago platform.
The convention was late in getting down to busincss. Ten o'clock, the hour of callIng the convention to order, had passed by three-quarters of an hour when. Chairman McGuire rapped for order. The chairman had great dimculty in getting order and it became necessary to appoint two sergeants-at-arms, and Felix Breem and James Noll were appointed, and succeeded after much effort in bringing order. out of chaos.
McGuire announced that the first order of business would be the selection of a committee on credentials. Ed Anderson moved that a committee of three for that purpose be named. The chair then named as members of the committee, Dr. Stoskopt, Luke Schrenners and A. L.
Schunte. While the committee was considering credentials Tom L. Johnson and ex -Sheriff Ryan came into the hall and were given a "hand" as they walked down the center aisle and took seats in front. The committee on credentials reported all delegations and no contests. The report was adopted unanimously.
Chairman McGuire then announced that J. CONTINUED, ON THIRD PAGE AND CLEVELAND. FOR SILVER ALONE. Paul Sorg Says That This Will be Platform is Enough. No Occasion for Bringing in Other Issues This Fall.
Conventions All Over the State, Hardin County, Republicans Vote Down a Resolution Indorsing Hanna -Democrats in Many Counties Declare Themselves in Favor of Reaffirming the Entire Chicago Platform- Hanna Holding His Men In Line. Special to the Plain Dealer. MIDDLETOWN, June Paul J. Sorg of this city, who has been as reticent as a clam in reference to his aspirations for the governorship or senatorship, gave la out a statement today. He takes a bold stand on the money question, which will put at rest the intimations of the opposition press that he is not in harmony with his party on the question.
As a matter of fact, he made speeches for Mr. Bryan last fall and contributed liberally to the campaign fund, but he made no reference to these facts in his interview. Mr. Sorg says that, while delegates have been Instructed for him, it has not been due to any efforts on his part. He claims that he is not 8 candidate for the governorship, but when asked what he would do if nominated he modestly replied: "That is hard question to answer." When asked along what lines the Aght should be made, he said: "For free silver, clean cut and alone.
As it will be the real issue, I don't believe extraneous matters should be introduced into the platform to divert attention from. 1t." He avows his preference for free silver, saying that like thousands of Democrats he has always been a bi-metallist, but believed until a year ago that it should be brought about by an international agreement. He points to the that the Democratio national platforms from 1880 to 1892 made such declarations, and after the and the administration placed in power by of 1892 had been won on these lines, the this triumph had been charged by the representations of the people in congress to appoint commissioners for monetary conference, and had refused to do so, it convinced him that the only way to secure bimetallism was by forcing it. He thinks that if. the Democratic party is conservative and prudent in its declaration for silver, the support of a big per cent.
of the business men and working people can be secured. He says this is necessary to success. ONLY HANNA MEN THERE. The Bolting Faction In Allen County Holds: a Convention of Its Own. Special to the Plain Dealer.
LIMA, June Hanna faction which revolted against the decision of the central committee that the delegates to the state convention be elected by it had its convention today and selected another list and a new committee. Yesterday the committee met, according to its decision last week, and selected delegates. The Hanna committeemen, urged on by office seekers, could see no hope unless a new committee was selected, so they called their convention, and are to be congratulated because it was the most harmonious ever held, for only worshipers at Hanna's shrine were present.

This caused an, explosion of wrath, as some of the members of the committes were not partial to the Hanna bosses and the meeting almost broke up in a row and none of the papers were signed, it being decided that it would be better to wait and see if the action of the convention was recognized at Toledo.

A motion to indorse Hanna for senator was almost unanimously voted down, and the Forakerites nominated every one of their candidates. They also control the central committee and named the executive committee for this year. It is a complete turn down for. the Hanna crowd, who have "bucking" the county committee torethe past year. Out of twenty-six precincts only four had Hanna delegates in the convention.
The following ticket was named: Representative, Dr. J. S. Hedrick; sheriff, L. A.
Ansley; commissioner, W. C. Harvey; infirmary director, M. J. Robinson; coroner, John Watters.
It was discovered after the convention adjourned today that the tellers in figuring up the returns for the indorsem*nt of a candidate for state senator had made an error; instead of H. J. Mays receiving 143 votes, he and S. D. Fess of of Ada only received 142 apiece, and thus no candidate was chosen.
It is now a question how to settle the matter, and there is fear that it may cause trouble. SOLID FOR. HANNA. His Mere Control the Lorain County Republican Convention. Special to the 'Plain Dealer.

THE JUBILEE'S EVE of England has London so strikingly shown itself the heart of the world as it does tonight--the eve of the jubilee.
At all times the busiest hive of the human race, tonight London is crowded to its innermost door by a stupendous gathering of strangers representing nearly every race under the sun and nearly every country found upon the map. The common object of this crowd--participation in the greatest historical pageant yet witnessed in the history of the British empire- gives tone and complexion to every minute of time, to every thought and action. There is nothing in men's minds at this hour, from the highest prince in the palaces to the lowest sneak thief in the streets, but the a jubilee. it is impossible to pass along of the crowded thoroughfares without everywhere remarking the two predominant notes of the occasion, the world's desire to honor Queen Victoria and the proud wish of her subjects in 60 doing to impressively demonstrate the strength and vastness of her empire. The streets, hotels and, stately mansions of the West End are crowded.
with the great who have already come to honor the queen, while barracke and bivuoacs in and around the metropolis are thronged with soldiers in every uniform known to British administration, from the head hunting Dyack police, the mounted men of Australia, Indian and Africa, fort soldiers from the West Indies, Zaptichs from Cyprus to the stalwart representatives of military government under "Our Lady the Snows." Suggestively it is a rare kaliedoscopic picture of races, men and creeds, a vivid panorama of the march of that empire upon which, as Daniel Webster sald, the sun never sets. The air is alive with expectancy, thousands upon thousands of flags and banners float in the evening breeze, the decorations which have easily cost a million of English money are in place, myriads of lights are glowing or stand ready for their flame -London smiles in -content. The list of notables. guests of the queen, who are gathered in London tonight to offer congratulations from the nations of the earth, is long and imposing. It includes, on behalf of the United States, Mr.
Whitelaw Reid, with Gen. Nelson A. Miles, to represent army, and Rear Admiral J. N. Miller, the navy, with their aids.
The aleter republic, France, has sent an extraordinary mission headed by Gen. Davoust, Duke of Auerstadt, grand chancellor of the Legion of Honor, and grand nephew of Napoleon's famous general, Marshal Davoust. Two generals of division accompany the marshal, one' of whom especially represents President Faure, together with a staff of brilliantly uniformed officers, and M. Crozier, chief of the protocol. Monarchical Europe has accredited special representatives of its sovereigns accompanied by regiment of princes, dukes and titled people.
The Emperor of Germany has for his alter ego Prince Albert of Prussia, Prince Regent of Brunswlok, with a staff of eight general officers. Integral portions of the kaiser's empire are represented by Duke Albert of Wurtemberg; Prince Rupert of Bavaria, grandson of the prince regent; and a lineal descendant of the Stuart dynasty; Prince Frederick Augustus, Duke of Saxony; the Duke and duch*ess of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, accompanied by the hereiitary Prince and Princess Beatrice; the Grand Dukes and duch*esses of Hesse and Mecklenburg-Strelitz and the hereditary Prince and Princess of HohenloheLangenburg. Russia has delegated her compliments their imperial highnesses the Grand Duke Sergius and the Grand duch*ess Elizabeth Feodrowna, who have brought with them a large suite from the czar's court. The Austro-Hungary enipire is present in the person of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir presumptive to the throne. He is accompanied by a princely entourage, and Italy contributes their royal highnesses, the Prince and- Princess of Naples and a suite of ten-all of whom are tonight at Chesterfield housethat house of famous memories.
Turning to the minor powers and countries further afield, Sweden and Norway have an interesting representative tall Prince Eugene, fourth son of King Oscar. Romania appears in the person of its ruler, Prince Ferdinand, accompanied by his princess and their suite; Bulgaria, its princo and princess; Montenegro, its crown prince, Danilo, and Servia, M. Mijatovich. the United Netherlands the Counts Van Belgium sends Prince Charles De Ligne; Lynden and Byrandt, and tiny Luxemburg its hereditary grand duke, Adolph William Charles Augustus Frederick, accompanied by Baron Von Grunstein, the grand ducal chamberlain. From the Iberian peninsula there has arrived the Duke of Oporto, brother of King Carlos, and from Spain the Duke of Sotomayer.
Switzerland's sympathy in the rejoicing is, too, shown by M. Boucart, a former president of the republic. Tho Orient, loving a pageant as Orientals do, contributes bountifully to the brilliancy of the occasion in envoys, whose every appearance is a delight to the thronging crowds. Turkey, Egypt, Persia, Japan, Corea and China make up the eastern list and it is an imposing array. The Hawaiian islands are represented by Mr.
S. M. Damon, Countries to the south of the United States do not swell the list of the titled, but they are eminently represented, and, finally, though no longer a temporal SOVereign, Leo XIII has sent to represent the holy Roman see Mgr. Cesare Sambucetti, titular archbishop of Corinth and canon of St. Mary Majoris.
Turning from those tonight in London who have come to testify the homage of the world beyond British boundary lines to those who represent that empire within them the array of envoys is no less imposing, no less picturesque, while far more pregnant with meaning to the man In the street--for they typify the vastness and variety of the empire to which he belongs. Easily foremost in this group stands the Hon. Wilfred Laurier, premier of the dominion, who, with Mrs. Laurler and the colonial premiers, are guests of her majesty at the Hotel Cecil, before the doors of which- as at all hotels and houses where royal guests are domiciled--soldiers of the queen are posted on sentry duty.
