COLUMBUS. O.. Aug. 21-The OMo dem
ooratlo oonvantlon - today nominated the
above tioket In a session somewhat fervid
ta temperature. In oratory and In methods
of voting. The day wti close and aultry,
few delegates wore coatt ard many sought
cooler) places outalda the hall before nnal
adjournment, this fact making possible the
casting of votes ot aeveral delegates by
unauthorised persona during the laat few
ballots. A number of counties were chal
lenged and aeveral persona put out of the
ball for Improper voting, but It did not
aeem to affect the rosult materially In any
ease.
During the first hour gnd a half of to
day's session the question of an endorse
ment of county option In temperance leg
islation waa under discussion, an attempt
to amend die platform and give such an
endorsement being defeated on a roll call.
The discussion developed opposition to the
general Idea of county option, while some
delegates Insisted that In having "approved,
unqualifiedly, Governor Pettlson's policies"
the platform already waa strong enough
on the point for which Mr. Flnley con
tended. Aside from these features the defeat of
Mayor Tom L. Johnson Jn the state cen
tral committee, a feature of yesterday, was
till the subject of comment.
Counts- Option Cones C'p.
When the Ohio democratic convention as
sembled today It waa with the knowledge
that a, fight on county option In temperance
legislation as a part of a declaration of
principles was assured. . ,
A protracted night session of the com
mittee on the platform had been insuffi
cient to bring the different opinions to
gether and the issues were clearly Joined.
Many of the temperance advocates, among
them the leader-of the Anti-Saloon lea sue,
werdertKwI-fli'l wlIling to accept i
eomprotnlW,' but W. L. CTniey had all
along maintained that no compromise which
left the ocrunty option Idea at all obsourcd
would be acceptable to him, and the dele
gates were not surprised at the prospect
of a minority report.
Fight oa Floor.
The day was excessively hot and few
coats were In evidence.
Chairman Cannon called the onnventlou
to order and asked for the report of the
committee on platform.
The proposition of Mr. Flnley for local
option by counties, the present laws provid
ing only for township and residence dis
trict option, came before the convention
as an amendment to the report of the
platform committee. Mr. Flnley and thoae
with him on the county option voted for
the balance of the platform and tlicio
wag no dlsaent from Its views. The pro
posal made by Mr.. Flnley to the commutes
was rejected, but waa submitted by lm.i
amendment to the report of the
committee on resolutions when It was pre
sented to the convention today.
Thomas E. Powell, chairman of the plat
form committee, read the report, the read
ing being followed with close attention,
frequent applause greeting fawrlte planks.

America Coeferenee Refers It to The
Hague Trlbanal without
Recommeiidatlo.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 22. The Inter
national American conference - today
adopted, with a slight technical modifica
tion, the Mexican convention relative to
the exerrlee of the liberal professions. '
The resolution recommending the submis
sion of the Drago dootrlne on the matter
of the use of force for the collection of
publlo debts to The Hague tribunal was
Adopted unanimously. The preamble states
that no definite conclusion - was proposed
by this conference, composed exclusively
of representatives of American countries,
but that the principles In question should
be passed on by an assembly composed of
representatives of all nation. as the prin
ciple affects the Internal sovereignty and
rights to notions. It further expresses the
opinion that the declaration should be ex
tended to cover all' controversies having
pecuniary origin. The resolution recom
mends "that the governments represented
in this conference consider the" point' of
Inviting the "scio'd ' conference of The
Hague tribunal to' consider the question of
the compulsory collection of public debts,
and In fceneral means tending to diminish
between nations conflicts having ex
clusively pecuniary origin."
The report of the committee On location
of the next conference will adhere to the
proposition for the choice of Mexico City
for the next conference, but It will be
accompanied by a recommendation in favor
of Buenos Ayres for the conference of
1910, the centenary of the several South
American republics.

The Harrlman stocks and other recently
active issues were comparatively negiecea
In the early trading, which was In fairly
large volume, though much below that at
the opening yesterday and previous day.
The general list recovered by the end of
the first half hour, but heavy realising, pre-
umably for profit, brought further Irregu
larities. v
London, which reported a reactionary
tone for American Securities, waa said to
have sold hers at the opening. Commission
houses reported' a continuance of the re
cent activity, but trading was largely pro
fessional.
The market showed further Improvement
on circumstantial reports that gold imports
are being arranged. Coll money opened at
per cent, which Is only 1 per cent belt n
eeterday'a high rate.
The first hour's business- aggregated
449,700 shares. , Business In the second
hour was smaller than for. any similar
period since last Friday. The market
was dull at frequent moments and prices
generally showed a tendency to sag. Call
money was s per cent bid and there was
stiffening of rates for time loans, 'i
per cent being paid for several short time
loans.
The sales to noon were 736,000 shares.
The feature of the noon hour was an
advance In call .money to 7 per cent, -the
highest for some time. The market con
tinued dull and reactionary, practically all
the early gains being lost.

and barters, together with

only four votes to spare.
A great many explanations and slide
lights oould be given; the repudiation of
pledges, and. the use of questionable
methods, but the vote tells the tale, bit
the final' ballot Norrla Brown received 43
votes and Edward Rosewater 290. It Vas
plain from the start that the minor caijidl-
dates had been simply planted to Hold
certain delegates away from, the lesiiors
and were never at any time posslbllltlesyor
the nomination. The predictions of BrJwn
and the Brown boosters that he would! be
nominated on the first ballot were dlrkp-
polnted and his failure to show up this
claimed strength was to his disadvantage.
At the same time he did muster a little
bit more than he had been credited with
and held his own with rantarkable tenacity.
There were comparatively few changes on
the ballots. Butler, Seward and Saunders
breaking, but carrying only a few votes
away from Brown.
How ft Was Done.
In the meantime the Rosewater column
Was gradually gaining, until Nemaha
county, which had been dividing In the
interest of good, threw Its entire vote to
Brown on the sixth ballot. I,t Is' said this
waa the work of Tom Majors, but whether
true or not, it would not have been enough
to have changed the result had It not been
followed by the defection ot Pierce county.
Instructed for Mr. Rosewater, for whioh

people. A few other changes followed
chiefly in the Fourth district, where Con
gressman Hlnshaw had been oulte busy
as a Brown floor manager, and when the 1
vote was announced the convention turned
Into an uproar, aa might be expected.
In his speech of acceptance Mr. Brow
expressed his thank for those who mad
him and aaid he had no feeling of resent
ment against those who fought him. H
discussed In a humorous way the last denf
ocratlo state convention and Impressed '
upon the convention that the prelim Ui ar'sssn-
Of the fight only had been settled and YstrioL
real fight waa now to begin. Cmory,
Following the speech of Mr. Brown, ) all
ward Kosewater, amid a perfect bed'
of applause, was called to the platfcPt Mt
where for several minutes he was gfysnm,
an ovation. Mr. Rosewater said: "
"I need hardly say to you that 1 afyr. !
elate your hearty reception to ma atVthU F
time. . We have come to the parting of
the ways. I wanted to go to Washington! ,
for the good of Nebraska, but I expect lo
resume my place In Omaha arid again take u
up the pen, which Is sometimes mightier
than the sword.
"Whenever a republican la nominated
legitimately, who Is a clean man. I will
support and do what I can to eleot him,
I have had no personal differences with
Mr. Brown In this contest and he has no
cause to compluln ot the way I have
treated him or to ssy that I have treated
him harshly in the fight that U over.
Neither will I treat him any more harshly
in ths fight to come.
1 have no Intention to foreshadow the
momentous questions we must meet. As
a life-long republican I will do what 1 can
to help meet them. Ever slnoe I first en
tered .public life In Nebraska 1 have tried
to keep our party clean and keep our state
house free from graf'ers. .
"I want to see you nominate good, Clean
men. I want you to nominate a clean
ticket that will give ua a new deal and
have no man on It for whom you will have 1 1
to apologise; nominate only men whom j
you can depend upon; men of honest, so i
that ws can place the word integrity above m(
