The convention was one of the most
memorable political associations in the
history cf Ohio. Everything was for
free silver, aud every speaker drew
cheers by some mention of Bryan.
A motion was made to endorse v. J.
Bryan for the presidential nomination
in 1800. Three cheers for Bryan were
then given. ' .
The silver Republicans neia a con
ference and expressed great indigna
tion. Thev said it was true that they
hid announced that they aid not want
a place on the State ticket, but the an
nouncement was not made until they
were told that they could not have it.
They appointed a State committee to
call a fctateconvention vo nominate a
separate ticket. The Populists also
agreed that they would hold a State
convention and'have a separate ticket.
'Ihe Prohibitionists Will have at least
two separate tickets, so there will be
six State tickets in the neia.

The situation in the East Tennessee

fields is rapidly becoming very serious.
There are 200,000 idle men in the Jel

Southern Bailroad. These men struck
on May 1, and have done no work
Bince. Few of them had any money
saved up and the majority are now bui
c tr.. fha nAARsities of life. All
efforts to settle the strike have proved
unavailing and it is now admitted that
none of the mines can be operated for
several months. The strikers have so
far made no attempt at viol enoe, but
as the suffering among them increases
it .is feared that some trouble will
come.

Change la Freight Traaspoi tstlon.
An important change, ia the freight
transportation service beta em New
York, Philadelphia and the South has
been msde by frame agreement ar
ranged between the Baltimore and
Philadelphia Steamboat Company aad
the Baltimore Steam Packet Company
by which a through freight lina haa
been formed for handling goods to all
Gints reached by the Seaboard Air
ne and its connections. The Balti
more A- Philadelphia Steamboat Com
pany maintains a daily service from
New York and Philadelphia to Balti
more by way of the Deleware and Ches
apeake canal and Chesapeake Bay.
The freight will be carried from Balti
more to Portsmodth. Ya., the tide
water terminus of the Seaboard Air
Line, by the steamers of the Old Bay
Line, and thence transferred by rail to
ita destination. The new Iaoe will
give added facilities to Philadelphia
merchants for doing business ia tie
South, and it will receive a huge pat
ronage on account of the shortness of
of the route, and the quick dispatch of
freight which it enables.

NO FURTHER LEGISLATION.
A Quorum Cannot be Held la thi
Senate After the Tariff BUI Is Oul
of the Way.
1 The prospects are that there will bt
no other . legislation of importance al
this session of Congress, except thi
tariff bill. It has been stated befort
that neither the Hawaiian annexation
treaty, aor any currency legislation will
come up in the Senate. It is also knows
that a quorum cannot be maintained in
the Seuate after the tariff bill ia out oi
the wav. As soon as the bill is sent tc
the House the t'enate will take up the
general deficiency bill, and it is expec
ted that considerable time will be occu
pied by it. The Senate will consider s
number of nominations over which there
is someontention. It has been sug
gested that the Alaskan boundary treaty
may be called up, but as it will provokt
considerable discussion it will be al
lowed to go over until next r-ession.
