OHIO REPUBLICAN TICKET.

Got* Nash Renominated —GJ $.6 of tho Platform. The Republican convention of Ohio at Columbus Tuesday nominated the following ticket: Governor, George K. Nash; lieutenant-governor, Carl L. Nippert; state treasurer, Isaac B. Cameron; attorney-general, John M. Sheets; judge supreme court, L. E. Emerson; board public works, W. G. Johnson. The platform adopted says in part: “The principle of protection has achieved its most signal triumph in the results of the Dingley tariff law. It has given us marked prosperity at home and a rapidly growing export trade, which are the envy of the world. The Republican tariff policy has made the farmer and laborer more prosperous than ever, and no legislation should be permitted which will imperil the interests of either.’’ On trusts and other issues it says: “We recognize the right of . both labor and capital to combine when such combinations are wisely administered for the general good, but combinations which create monopolies to control prices or limit production, are an evil which must be met by effective legislation, vigorously enforced. The only legislation national or in Ohio on this subject has been enacted by the Republican party, and that party can be safely intrusted to deal with this problem.”

GREAT STRIKE IS ORSERED

Steel Workers Go Out in Large Force. THOUSANDS ARE INVOLVED. President Shaffer Declare. It Mean* Fight to Bitter End by Workmen — Be Say* Amalgamated Auoclallon I. Not Un prepared for Battle. President T. J. Shaffer issued orders from Pittsburg Sunday to all the union men employed in the various mills of the American Steel Hoop company to refuse to work Monday morning. In addition President Shaffer and other officials of Amalgamated Association of Iron, £>teel and Tin Workers spent Sunday sending out circular letters to sublodgee all over the country notifying the 60,000 members of the strike declared Saturday against the American Sheet Steel company. The members of the board will decide whether all the union men employed by the United States Steel Corporation, which owns. the sheet combine, shall be called* out at this time. If they come out 200,000 men will be involved. It is estimated that 15,000 men will be subject to the call in the American Steel Hoop mills in connection with the sheet steel strike. President Shaffer says: "The impression that only the mills of the American Sheet Steel company are affected by the decision of Saturday is a mistake. The workmen of all mills in the American Steel Hoop company are interested; and will be officially notified that the Seale has not been signed and that they will quit work. To the well organized mills this notice will not be necessary, as the men will have watched the situation carefully, but what are known as open mills, where union men have been allowed to work side by side with the non-union, is where w* have to move. Union men must walk out of these open mills in the hoop trust. The open mills to be notified are one at Hollidaysburg, Pa., three at Pittsburg, and one '.t Monessen. The organized mills which will close on our call are the upper and lower mills at Youngstown, O.; Pomeroy, O.; Sharon, Pa.; Girard, Pa.; Warren, Pa.; Greenville, Pa. This, I believe, will bring the number of men affected up to 50,000. It is a matter of regret that the issue has been forced, but it now looks as though it will be a fight to the death. The Amalgamated association is not unprepared for it We have not had a general strike for many years, and in that time we have not been idle. We have funds and will use them. Right here I want to correct an impression which has been given out that no benefits will be paid strikers until two months have elapsed. The Amalga-

EARL RUSSELL, INDICTED FOR BIGAMY.

Lord John Francis Stanley Russell, Whose matrimonial troubles have been aired in the courts at divers times the last few years, is face to face at London with probable imprisonment. The grand jury in the Central Criminal Court brought in a true bill for bigamy against his lordship at the Old Bailey, and the historic prison will soon see a nobleman placed on trial charged with having more wives than the law allows. Lord Russell's plight is the result of a woman’s vindictiveness. The

American oratore. As late as 1891 Prof. A. P. Peabody said of him: “He is a phenomenon to be accounted for. No other American orator has done what he has done or anything like it, and prior to the experiment no voice would have been bold enough to predict his success.” Mr. Cook was born at Ticonderoga Jan. 26, 1838. His father’s farm was located on the western shore of Lake George, and upon it in after years the son built himself the summer home where he spent the last of his years.
