UPP ! The expose in Tins Hir. : of the
wretched st'lto of affairs at the Hastings in
sane asylum has created a sensation at the
Btato house nnd is the topic of conversation
on tlio siren's. ' It is universally conceded
that something should DO done with the
guilty nariios and that very soon.
Attorney General Hastings was the only
* tate executive otllclal tit the state house
today Ho was asked concerning the facts
nud figures in Tin : BII : : , nnd he declared
-iAjHt tboy were perfectly correct. Ho ad
mitted that the board of public lands nnd
buildings , of which ho Is n member , had been
instituting a quiet investigation.
"The members of the board suspected that
there would bo trouble at the very llrst when
we took hold hero last January , " said Mr.
Hastings. "At the first mooting wo held ,
the enormous deficiency of the Hasting' }
nsylum aroused our suspicions. Something
ever a month r.go wo got an inklinc of what
was going on there , and wo mndo up our
minds to go en a still hunt , satisfy our minds
Whcthor certain reports were true or not ,
nnd if true call the. guilty ones to account.
Wo have held conferences with Governor
Thayer in regard to the matter , am ] ho knows
as well as We what has been going on thero.
Now that the cat is out of the bug I will say
in candor that the statements in TIM : Br.i :
nro perfectly correct. But Tin : BII : : li.is
more yet to divulge.
' When the members of the board of public
lands nud buildings heard of certain com
plaints made we began to look up the records
lo see if they were true. Wo not only found
, Wtni they were true , but wo also discovered
tun' they wcro only the entering wedge. In
i.earehing for proof of the complaints , or
ruMic-r hints , madii we found that wo had
lieeu informed of only a small p.irt of what
had actually been going on. Our investiga
tions are not yet ended. It is not our inten
tion to pursue or Iiijuro anybody , but if a
man Is a thief he is to blame and not us. Ho
knew the consequences ooforo the deed was
committed. Wo are state oftlcinls and it is
our duty to see that the state is not robbed.
Or Test signed those reports of Livering-
Jioiiso. As superintendent he is equally re-
'M > "iisiblo.o do not know whether the
( .diirinr know what ho was about or not , but
nnv rate the matter should bo investigated.
> , orintihouso and Test should bo tcmuor-
. . , ' suspended. Tom Majors is governor of
the state as Thajer is in Wyoming. Why ho
1 Is not here I do not know. But ho should bo
hero and ought to immediately suspend the
two men.
"Dr. Stone was expelled from the institu
tion last full by Governor Thayer , but tno
doctor's friends do not seem to fear an Inves
tigation of his record. "

stfitomontT
"Tho foul attack in today's BKB upon the
management of the Hastings asylum was
nmdo by disreputable parties , known to us ,
who have been malting systematic efforts to
injure our mpuj.utlon ever since and oven before
fore wo took charge Sjptcmberi'i , Ib90. The
st.ito has never lost a dollar through our
management of the Institution , nor has there
been a dollar extravagantly expended. Wo
have demanded a thorough investigation by
thu state board.
"Had the party who wrote the article the
Qunhood to sign his name , the article would
lAC , no further answer , or had ho , before
jmikihg the attack , taken tbo trouble to cx-
nmlno ouV books , ho would have found that
the money ho so Insinuatingly claims was
put to an illegitimate use was charged to
another fund , and placed on deposit imme
diately upon receipt of same , subject to thu
order of the state board.
"I will leave it to the state board to make
any statement It may cheese after having ex
amined our boons. "

Bii : : . | The annual sermon before the senior
cli.ss of the state normal school was deliv
ered in the chapel at 4 p. m. yesterday by IJr.
Moulton of lied Oak , la. The address was
powerful and deep , yet clear and humorous1.
Dr. Moulton has a happy way of putting
things that charms his audience and his de
livery wus such that his hearers almost for
got the speaker as they listened to his earnest
words.
The speaker said that in this eminently
practical ago wo are becoming very averse to
anything that seems vMonury. afid yet
ho believes that ideals arc the great
steeping forces of our lives. Two
kinds of visions present tncmsclvcs
with great clearness to all and
especially to those who have received Uio
benolits Of u higher education. Our entlcers
becKOn to UB from below and holdout the glit
tering pri/es of wealth or fame which maybe
bo secured by any who will pursue the course
necessary to obtain them ; a aufllclcntly
elastic conscience being the most essential
nld to their attainment. If we answer the
call from above , ' wo shall be load into the
paths of sclf-sacrlllco and perform years of
seeming unrequited toil , it may be , but In
the eno the reward will bo one valuable for
eternity. To reach the piano of those below
wo have but to lot go our grip and gravita
tion will do the rost. If we would rise wo
must "hitch our wagon to a star , "
and hold on most persistently. The
world contains a magnet with its
two poles the positive , good ; the
negative , evil. As wo yield to one or the
other ol tlioso forces our lives nro shaped. If
wo would bo pure and true wo must obey the
first , resist the second. Ttuis only can wo
lit ourselves lor the higher duties of life , and
In so doing we will but follow in the footsteps -
stops of our Master.
IJr. Molten clojed his remarks with a few
earnest words to the class about to leave
their alma mater.
The members of the senior class greatly ap
preciated the able and eloquent address and
. \illtrcasuro the words in their memories , to
come back again when life's real work is
upon them. _ _

Harrison and .Sherman Still
Dear to tin : Hearts ol'
tliu I'nckeycH.
Cou.Mnt' : . , O. , Juno 10. To the casual ob
server today the opening scenes of the repub
lican state convention presented a little muro
the appearance of a Blalno-Foraiter ratlllca-
tlon mooting than an ordinary state conven
tion. It is now no secret that cx-Uovornor
Foraker aspires to succeed Hon. John Sher
man in the United States senate , and the
young men who nro his followers dominate
the convention. In a like degree the young
republicans appeared to bo devoted to James
O. Blalne , yet the ovation which greeted the
mention of the sorvlcos of the dlstiniruishcd
secretary of atnto was by no means confined
to the younger clement. Old men men
grizzled and grey , and evidently retiring
from the busy world today forgot their ago
and their dignity as they joined in the wild
acclaim provoked by the niiiiio of Blaiuo and
waved their hats w'.illo shouting ever and
over again the name of the popular leader.
But President Harrison and Senator Sher
man are still dear to the hearts of thu aver-
nco Ohio man , as the great apulauso which
greeted the mention of their name ! ; amply
testilled. Particularly was this true of Sen
ator Sherman , who , however much Blulnu
might have led Harrison in popular ap
proval , shared almost equally with Foraker
the plaudits of the Ohio veterans.
The important results of this cam
paign , not only to the state but to the
nation , Is fully realized , and all the devices
known to modern politics will bo exerted by
botn parties to win a favorable verdict from
the people next November.
It was arranged early this morning before
the convention came to order that there
should bo no disputes over organization.
General Asa S. Bnshnell of Springfield was
unanimously decided upon as permanent
chairman. The Ur.ind opera house , which
has been the scene of stirring political con
ventions for years , was beautifully decorated
with Hags and bunting. The national colors
were conspicuous everywhere upon the stage
and n largo picture of McKinley was sus
pended over I no chairman's place.
It was arranged timt the convention should
occupy two days. This forenoon was devot
ed to the meeting of the various congres
sional delegations and the selection of a new
state central committee and committees on
credentials , resolutions and organization.
The nomination of William McKlnley , ex-
congressman and author of the tariff law , for
the oflico of governor has been a foregone
conclusion , and made the convention
which opened with'so much enthusiasm and
good feeling today , rather a love feast than a
contentious political gathering.
Melvinlcy arrived about noon. Although
the temperature was away up in the nineties
a thousand men turned put and marched to
the station to greet him. Ho was accom
panied by friends and neighbors and several
marching clubs from his section of thu
stato. Cheer after cheer greeted him us the
train rolled into the depot. McKiuloy was
escorted to a carriage and the march to the
Neil house began. Aloug tno ontlro dis
tance , nearly a milo , the sidewalks were lit
erally packed with people. Oil reaching the
hotel McKlnley retired to the pnrlor , where
ho was joined by Sherman , Forakor and
others.
H was after 2 o'clock baforo the delegates
began to gather. At 2:15 : L. M. King ,
chairman of the state central committee ,
called the convention to order. Robert M.
Novln was elected temporary chairman.
Near the conclusion of his address Chairman
N i\'in said : "At the right hand of the presi
dent stands a man who for keen intellect ,
broad statesmanship and devotion to Ameri
can interests and American progress is the
peer of any man who has over lived , who
lives today or over will live James O.
Blalno. "
The name of .lames G. Biaino was never
heard b3f the convention. Little by little as
the peroration reached its height the audi
ence caucht the inflection aud from a general
hand clapping the applause developed Into
one migjtty roar that shook the vast building
from gallery to green room. Jt was history
repeating Itself the scenes of the national
convention of 18SS re-ennclcd. Strong men
shouted themselves hoarse and women
waived their fans in approval of the senti
ment , while l,0 ( ) ( ) voices simultaneously andover
ever again repeated in musical chorus the
name of ' Blaliio , Biaino , Blalne. " ,
After a few words of caution its to the ne
cessity of nominating a strong state tiekot
the temporary chairman announced the con
vention ready for business.
The congressional delegation of the twen
ty-first district of the state then reported
the members of the now state central com-
mlttoosalectod nt tno forenoon moetinir. Im
mediately after the appointment of the com
mittees the convention adjourned until U
o'clock tomorrow morning.
The evening was devoted to receptions ,
music and speochmaiung. The Lincoln clue
tendered a reception to McICinley , which
was attended by an Immense crowd , includ
ing the leading republicans of the state.
Senator Sherman was Introduced early In
tl > o evening and made a brief speech , devoted
principally to anecdotes and a review of the
records of the republican ami democratic
parties during the war. In the midst of his
speech the audience caught sight of McKinley
loy , who arrived somewhat late , and the sen
ator nt once Insisted that the next governor
should address the audience.
Major McKinley needed no Introduction to
the two or three tlKUisnnd Ohiowans and
wulted for none. He said there was ouo
thing Hi it could bo said of the ivpuhllcan
party which ho did not believe could bo said
of any other known to political history. The
republican party had been right in every
great public question for the last thirty
years. It hud not only been right , but man
kind had coirm to declare that It was right.
[ Cheers. ] There was another thing that
could bo said of the republican party. It
could louk backward or it could look for
ward. The democratic party could look
backward only with stiamo fapplausol , for It
had confessed that on every ono ot these
great Issues the republicans were right. lie
congratulated his hearers that , as in thu
past , the republican party was now on the
right side of every question that concerned
the welfare of tno American people. [ Ap
plause. ) Ho cared not whether it was a
sound currency oy the American people , or a
protective tariff to promote American In
dustries. [ Cheers. | Ho cared not whether
It was liberal pensions to soldiers or what
ever It was , the republican party was lead
ing today as it had always led the advance
thought of the American people | cheer.- . ] ,
and the republican party tonight would look
forward with hope ami exultation. Ho said
that Ohio republicans had not waged n
political battle for twenty-live- years , fraught
with greater Importance than the
political battle of this year It
means everything to the republic because
It means everything to the republican
party , which was so closely related to the
welfare of the republic. Ho congratulated
his hcaiors on thu outlook In November.
They did not euro whom the democratic
party nominated whether it bo Campbell or
Ncal for victory would cumo to ihu repub
licans its sure as thu Ides of Novombar { pro *
louu'CM cheer * ! , and It would como bcciiuso
that party had ilono something for the guod
of Americans. Thu republicans did not con-
line themselves to a single Issue ; the cam
paign would cover every ditTurencu between
the republican and democratic parties -stuto
and national , principles and administrations.
[ Applauxu. I That be hoped will no the re
publican platform tomorrow. Mr. McKiuloy
then defended "tliu matchless leadership of
that bravo Tom Heed" and the last congress.
In conclusion Major McKinley dorondod
the protective tariff in tils cnuructeribtic
manner.
At the conclusion ot McKialoy's speech ox-
Governor Foraker spoke hriollv hut enthusi
astically of coming suc-ccss in Ohio.
The committee on resolutions wa.s In ses
sion until Into tonight drafting the platform
for tomorrow's session , but no material
progress was made. There wcro two ques
tions of dlspulo-ttio money question and the
tariff question and there will probably bo n
compromlsoou both. ThoeulhuslasticMeKIn-
ley men were In favor of n resolution
endorsing in emphatic terms the "McKinloy
law , " but others thought the safer plan was
to merely endorse the principles of protec
tion to American labor. This and other
disputed questions were finally suomltted to
n sub-committee , which will report to the
main committee tomorrow inurnlng.

which there was no dUtmto , arralk'ii and

man who is practically n non-resident
of Ohio , and had no record of
statesmanship and nothing to recommend
him for the hitfh honor but his moiiov , a man
moro In sympathy with Wall street than
with the people of this commonwealth ; also
for Having unseated without regard to form
of law of a legally eieeted lopubllcan lieu
tenant governor In obedience to tno decree of
a party caucus for purely partisan purposes.
The-democratic legislature U nlso arraigned
for passing tlio most unfair congressional
gerrymander over enacted in a northern
state , under which the republican f.arty with
a conceded majority of SO.UUO was given less
than one-third ot Ohio's representation In

ty-llvo thousand enttiustastlc persons braving
the neat of a tropical sun visited this oour.sil
to see the Suburban , ono of the great handi
caps of the year , decided.
The weather could not have boon Improved
upon tor racing purposes but it was entirely
two warm for personal comfort. It was n
close humid kind , that draws perspiration
out of one's pores by the quart , but with all
the discomfort it could not keep lovers of
racing from .the track. The Suburban waste
to bo decided. Tunny , the winner ot thu
Brooklyn handicap , was to run. That was
all sufliciont mid any ono who by boon or
crook could secure the time visited the
Shcop-diead Bay track , today.
Enormous Improvements have been made
about the grounds since the last meollntr ,
nnd today the course Is one ol tlio liamUom-
est In America. The grand stand and Dotting
ring have both been enlarged and improved
In other ways. A now paddock , inn
airy thing in looks but substan
tial as adamant , has been erected and
the Club house brightened up In a hundred
ways. Thu whole field mndo ono of the
prettiest pictures ever presented to an
American race crowd , nnd that it. was fully
appreciated was shown by the excitement
and exclamations of surprise nnd delight ,
that were heard on all sides. Of COIII'M ) nlnu-
lenths of those proient came to sco thu Sub
urban , but they were willing to have oiitnus-
iasm roused to fever pitch by contests by
lior-es of a smaller calibre.
Thus It was that when Civil Service won
the llrst race after a gallant light , ho was
liberally applauded , and in the second race ,
the llrst half of the double event , Ills High
ness was cheered to tno echo when ho do-
defeated Victory and Nomad , while thoio
win plenty of sympathy for St. Florian and
his rider , Llttluilcld , both of whom mot with
mi accident that cost them the race. It
happened in this way : St. Florian , after
malting all the running , was eloiely pressed
in the last furlong nnd Liltlolleld hit
him n cut with ttio whip. Ho at once shot to
the front lilte an arrow from a bow and ap
peared to have the race won , when ho
swerved to the Inner rails , going completely
over. Fortunately , however , neither tlio
liorso nor tlio Jockey wvm hurt.
By the time Port Chester had won the
third race the crowd was wound up to con
cert pitch and were prepared for the subur
ban. Down in the betting rings fathers of
families , conservative business men and
horse plungers fuught and pulled each other
around in n mad endeavor to but their money
on Tunny. This could not last terover , how
ever , and at 4IS : the buele called the horses
to the post. Out they came , as noble looking
animals as ever faced a starter.

post and then all was ready for the fray ,
lint no , some jockey Is down , and there is
another delay that is moro Irritating. Fin-
idly , however , everything Is in ivadinoss ,
and they all approach the stnror oa even
terms.
And Away They Went.
Flash goes Mr. Caldwoll's rod Hug , and the
big race is on. For a few strides a half do/eu
ot them nru neck and neck , then , as they
near the stand , Major Dome shoots to the
front and as ho sweeps by the crowd ho is a
neck In front of Cassiu.s , who has Banquet nt
his heels , while Demtith , Isaac Lewis and
Uiloy are all well up , with Tenny , Tea Tray
and I/ountnka bringing up the rear. They
ran In this order round the lower turn , where
Domuth took second place tn Major Dome ,
the only change being that Tea Tray is last
and is sulking. Ho will not try a yard nnd
in despair his backers tear up th"lr tickets.
When straightened out for the run up the
back stretch the p'ieo ' quiclcons and the
interest b < > comes Intense. Major Dome .still
holds his loud , with Cassius , Deuiuth
and Banquet as his closest at
tendants , while Tonny , who is now
fulh'extended c'ln't get in an inch. .Mean
time Martin Burgen on Lountaka loafs along
side the rails us though ho had no interest , in
the race whatever. Half way dowi. the buck
stretch Major Dome is still in front and it , be
gins to look as If they would never catch
him. Demuih has gene up Into second place
and Cassius is third.
MurpU.V Is beginning to move up with
Tenny. and ho takes sixth placo. As they
near the turn ( jarrlsun on Tea Tray and Ior- }
gun on Loantuku are still trailing in the rear.
On the turn Major Dome still stays in front.
"They will never catch him , " cry hl.s back
ers , but they will. Major Dome is beginning
to falter , and Tural is rushing Cassius after
him , while Domuth , Flujamos , Isaac Lowl.4
and Tenny are still urging thu others. Sud
denly a roar goes up from the crowd , Dorgen
has wakunod , and under his urging Loautiua

His burst of speed Is wonderful. At the

Now the real struggle boiiins. Harrison

to urge him and his legion of backers gala

that his wonderful burst of jpm > d will curry
him to Iho front in the stretch. It is a false
hope , however , for on tno turn for homo ho

famous burst of speed la not there and the fa
vorite Is beaten.
As they turn Into the stretch Mujor Dome

Martin Is whipping and so are all thu others
