ON A THIRD TICKET ■ ——- Bounke Cockran Expresses Himself Vigorously In an Interview. HE EXPLAINS PREVIOUS TALK. Singular MiMpprnhen«lon of Some N«w«I papers — Erroneous Assumption That f His Plan Contemplates Merely Asseiuj bling of Convention, Adoption of Plat* ' form and Nomination of McKinley Eleci tors. New York, Aug. 4.—Hon. Bourke Cockran was asked yesterday if he would support u third ticket if one were nominated, notwithstanding the views •expressed in his interview published y eHerd ay. Ha said: “If a convention be held, at which all Democrats can be represented, who. believing that the pnrty has been betrayed at Chicago, are detenu) ned that its principles shall not perish for lack of efficient organization, und if a free interchange of opinion be had among its members, 1 should be strongly inclined to accept its decision, whatever it might be. I think it more important that the Democrats opponents of Mr. Bryan should be united in one movement,)han. that any particularform of co-opposition should be adopted. “By the way,” said Mr. Cockran, “in til? comments on my interview published Monday morning, 1 notice a singular misapprehension on the ,part of some newspapers. It is assumed that the plan suggested by mo contemplated & \ H> W W w S ■ OgJxJP BOUItKE i'lx RKAN. merely the assembling of a epnvention .which would adopt a genuinely Demo- . craticj platform, nominate McKinley electors and stop there. When I said that Democrats, meeting in such a convention as I suggested, ‘while nominating ifrcKiuley electors, would provide for -a re. Uy Democratic oppi sition to the McKinley administration during the period of it.T existence,’ J thought tl would be clear that I meant a substantial and effective opposition. Such an opposition could find an expression nowhere but in congress and it could therefore be maintained only by bringing those Democrats, who in face of treason and cowardice remain unyielding and unterrified, into a new organization which would nominate candidates forstaty officers, for congi -ss and. for the state legislature in every state where the existing organ izii. ton had denounced the ancient creed of. the party by indorsing the Pepniiri-platform and candidate. Every Democrat Avtyo refuses to support the Chicago platform regards the defeat of the absurd propositions for which Mr.-Bryan stands as the paramount issue, of tin-campaign, and since the simplest and most, effective method' of accomplishing that result is to. nominate Mt Kinley-electors. I bi.luwp in following that course. In a contest of this character I believe the people would prefer a direct to an indirect inothoti of expressing. fb.sr abhorrence of communism. Populism and anarchy. With Mr Bryan ami his socialistic programme disposed of, opposition to McK.inkw« and McKinleyism would become the duty of the Democratic party. No.organization which’had indorsed Bryan could ever after be considered Democratic. If we are to have a’ Democratic party m the future, those who cherish its principles must lie organized to take up the defense of them in city,, state and’nation the moment the so-called regular organizations join the Populistic forces. “These are my individual views and I liav’e seen no reason" to modify them; n'dvertheiess, I have no doubt that if a representative Democratic convention be assembled, whatever course it may decide to adopt will prove to be the wisest and bestmethod of dealing xyith this Crisis.”

SCENE OF THE STORM Cincinnatians View the Wreck of Saturday's Hurricane. MUCH PROPERTY DESTROYED. Only One Death Reported, That of a Man Who Picked Up a Live Wire—A Dozen or More Prostrated by the LightningAll of Yesterday Devoted to Making Repairs. Cincinnati, Aug. 3.—Many people here yesterday visited the scenes of the hurricane of Saturday in the northern suburbs. The public did not know what a narrow escape the city had until yesterday. With the wind blowing 60 miles an hour and a rainfall of two inches in two hours, the weather bureau says the city was fortunate iu escaping with only property damages. This was due to there; being no funmlshaped clouds, no twisting winds or whirlwinds. While the dark clouds burst, the wind swept straight across the city and its suburbs. It unroofed hunjdfeds of buildings that were occupied, but all the buildings demolished were either old structures, barns or sheds or buildings in process of construction. ■ All the railways are entering the city on time, but some of the street railways and the telephone lines are still disabled. Some congregations held services in new locations .yesterday owing to damages to their edifices, but the general opinion expressed everywhere was t hat of thankfulness that the situation her.e and elsewhere in .southern Ohio, Indiana aud Kentucky was no worse. The only death reported was that of Charles Boulie, who picked, up a telegraph wire that had blown into his yard on tlie Carthage road. The wire crossed a trolley that was also blown, down. John Hammer of Covington, Ky., also picked up a wire and was unable to release himself. His condition is still doubtful. Among the others who are prostrated from lightning shocks experienced Saturday afternoon and' evening are Taylor Greenwald, Mrs. Oliver Greenwald, Mrs. A. Ritchie, Harry Marsehineir, William Seizvr. John Holinger, Edward Chagger. Miss J. Deere, John Brinker. Edward Staggemiller, John Scharnd ami Miss ,Nellie’ Finan. The lightning struck hundreds of places in and about (lie city. Hundreds experienced severe shocks who were not prostrated. Qhjte a immb<r’i>i horses were killed in stables that were struck by lightning or blown s’d 5 ’d >wn.-' The weather was pleasant yest'.Tmiy and the Sunday ' vas (levoted. to clearing , up ami repairs eve'rywhere.

VERY FINE SHOOTING Teams Secure Forty-Five and Fifty Birds at Burnside. DUPONTWORLD’S CHAMPIONSHIP One of the Team* Captained by A. C. Anson, the Ballplayer — Teams Competed For the Illinois Champtonahip—Old Timers Say It Was the Finest Work Ever Seen. Chicago, Aug. 6.—When a team of men score 45 out of 50 birds and do not get a place, the shooting must of a verity be of high class. Such was the case yesterday in the Dupont world’s championship tournament in progress at Burnside; One of them was an Illinois team captained by A, C. Anson, the noted ball player. The entire day was devoted to the team race and both sets of traps were kept running from 9 a. m. unfil 6 o’clock. Twenty-eight teams competed for the state championship and a veritable battle of giants ensued. The lowa team, known as the “Indians,” consisting of Gilbert, the world’s champion. King, Trotter, Dudd and Grimm, tied for first place with the Illinois team No. 1, consisting of Marshal, Bacon, the state champion, Bingham, Crosby and Powers. Each team dropped but one bird. Three teams, one from Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illinois, tied for second, place, the Nebraska team No. 1 took third with 47 and several teams divided fourth-With 46. Old timers say that it was the greatest shooting'ever seen at a tournament. The- New York, and Maryland teams were not in it. Much wax expected from the. Baltimore team, but they seemed to . lose heart after McAllister dropped a bird The weather was intensely hot, but during the a stiff breeze sprung up and as the birds were a selected lot the shooting became very difficult. The attendance was enoi niou.s. Hundreds of ladies were in the throng. The conditions iniposed w .re that : five men on each t am should belong so one state and belong to some regularly drgaiiized club. They shot fit 10 birds each. SSO entrance for each team, 10 birds per man with SSO added for each team entered by the Dupont company. MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES. Hot Wave I’roliablx the Most Severe During tiie Present Summer. Washington, Aug. 6.—Rejjor.ts of maximum tempi ratures received by the weather bureau show that the present warm wave is very general and is probably the most severe during the present • sumnit-r. The official.' >-ty it is very unusual for the femperayure to reach such a .high point. in so. many parts of the country at one time. The heat is due to an urea of high barometer which has been prevailing over the- southern por- .. tion.of.tjie <'.Qtuiir Tv_auA_-lm:...bm'ammmr—l—- — the northern part, which results in, great waves of the .heat coming toward the north.
