Fair, and indorsed by Leland Stanford, which is held for collection by tho First National Bank of this city, falls due to-day, The note was placed in the hands of the ant by one William G. Howell, of New York, but he has not given a satisfactory history of the obligation, the transaction is generally regarded as a hoax, especially in view of the extreme Jniprobability of two such prominent men as the deceased millionaires whose names appear on the note being involved in a transaction of this magnitude without the matter coming to the knowledge of any of their on the top floor, which giv09 them all the accommodations they need. There is a vast amount of visiting back and forth between the various headquarters, but no combinations or deals have yet been made because all of the delegates have not, up to this hour, Monday midnight, yet reached Zanesville.

There is no doubt about the silver men being unable to get even a concession on free coinage. It is believed that Senator Sherman will be continued as permanent chairman as well es temporary chairman, although there are some wanting ex-Gov. Fortxker male permanent chairman. The factional feeling which has been freely expressed tha past two days will bo continued into the convention to-morrow as it was the feature of the respective delegation meetings to-day. This factional contest is of long standing.

It has been a side show at several Republican National Conventions and it had a trial boat two years ago when ex-Gov- Foraker was defeated by a few votes before th8 Legislature for Senator. Since that time no opposition has developed to Foraker for the next Republican nomination for Senator, but complications nave arisen. A nev Legislature is elected with every new Governor and Ohio elects members of the Legislature next November as well as a Governor. When Sherman beat Foraker two years ago, the former had the support of Gov. McKinley's State administration as well as of the Federal administration and it is claimed that this support was the deciding element in that bitter contest.

The For aker elements do not disguise the fact they want control of the State administration this time and they favor Gen. Bushnell, while Judge Nash is consid ered the Administration candidate. Senator Sherman is generally considered as favorable to McKinley for President. He has been an avowed candidate for the Presidential nomination before three National Republican Conventions and he has had such experience with divided if not treacherous Ohio delegations that his advice is said to be somewhat suggestive to the McKinley men at this time. It is thought that Sherman will head the Ohio delegation to the next Republican National Convention and that he would like to assist in selecting his associates for that occasion.

Foraker will no doubt also be a delegate-at-large and if the factional fighting should continue through 1896, it would result in Sherman and Foraker leading the divisions of the Ohio delegation at the next National Convention. Some of the more zealous Foraker men say that even Senator Sherman is here now taking such an active part in return for past favors, that his overtures for harmony are in the lina of calling off the fight on his old friends. It is cited that when Iiriee was as Senator that James E. Campbell as Governor gave him the support cf the State administration. The next Senatorial caucus will be held in January just after McKinley retires as Governor and a few months afterward the Ohio delegates will be selected to the next National Republican Convention.

The active supporters of Gov. McKinley are just a3 anxious to have the next Governor and other State officers friendly to their man as are the Foraker men. They feel that if the next State administration should be opposed to McKinley, the State patronage and power could prevent him or any one from getting such district delegates and delegates-at-large to the next National convention as would stand faithfully by the champion of protection. While the question of endorsing Sherman for President has been before State conventions, the question of endorsing any one for Senator has never before been brought up at State conventions. This time two endorsements are pending at the same time and the situation is peculiar because it is proposed to have the leaders of opposing factions jointly endorsed or neither one of them accorded that prestige.

But it is impossible for the factions to make a joint nomination for Governor or unite on anything else. It is with the expectation that neither Bushnell nor Nash can be nominated, that the conservative friends of other candidates depend on their ability to have Hoyt or some other candidate nominated for Governor on the pledge thafr no part will hereafter be taken in the selection of a Senator or of delegates to the National Convention. The Hoyt men are jubilant to-day and have perfect confidence in the nomination of their man. They claim the first ballot to-morrow will show not less than 200 votes for Hoyt, and that he has strong friends in nearly every though its members may be instructed to vote for some other candidate. It is claimed that the second choice of both the Nash and Bushnell men is almost unanimous in favor of Hoyt, and that if it becomes evident that neither Nash nor Bushnell can be nominated, both will swing in line for him.

The argument is advanced that Hoyt is the logical candidate, that he belongs to no faction, and that he is a supporter of both McKinley and Fcraker that he comes from the Western Reserve, which section has not been represented in the gubernatorial chair for S3 years and lastly that he has no enemies. State Commissioner of Insurance William M. Hahn, who is a strong sup porter of Judge Nash said to-day "The A ash delegates believe their candidate will win. If, however, it is found ho can not be nominated, the support of Nash forces will undoubtedly go to Hoyt." On the arrival of additional delegations from central and southern Ohio this afternoon, especially from Cincinnati, it was evidenf that a factional contest would fight it out on Bushnell or Nash for Governor. All other candidates including Hoyt are playing for second choice support and conceding that they have no chance until it is demonstrated that neither Bushnell nor Nash em be nominated.

Ex-Gov. Foraker marched up the street at the head of Hamilton county delegates this afternoon, after which the Bushnell boom was the feature of the day. Meantime additional delegations arrived for Nash and the contesting of every point was made in the district meetings at 2 p. m.

SECRETARY CRESHAM PASSES PEACEFULLY AWAY. He Suffered a Relapse Last Evening and the End Came at the Midnight HourAn Affecting Death-Bed Scene. Washington; May 33. Secretary Gresham died at 1:15 o'clock this morning. No death could be more quiet, more calm or more peaceful.

For two hours preceding dissolution there had been no indication either of a pulse or a heart beat, rle lay during that time with his head resting on' the arms of his daughter, Mrs. Andrews, while his devoted wife sat by his side, his hands clasped in hers, his face so turned that his last conscious gaze should rest upon her. And so the minutes dragged slowly on until the end came. He was conscious to the last. He suffered greatly during the preceding forty-eight hours after the pneumonic symptoms were complicated with his disease and he was only temporarily relieved by frequent hypodermic injections.

But as the end approached his suffering ceased and he passed away as quietly as a tired child sinking to slumber in the arms of its mother. Mr. Gresham's illness has been acute pleurisy, with effusion, beginning on May 12. From May 18 his condition was entirely favorable and his speedy recovery was confidently expected. On May 25, symptoms of a relapse appeared, due to the development of acute pneumonia.

Mrs. Gresham has scarcely left her husband's room since his illness began a month ago. She has been plucky and courageous, and has been hopeful until Monday that the secretary's life would be spared. When she realized the apparent impossibility of his recovery, she manifested her emotions repeatedly, but bore it as bravely as her exhausted condition would permit. The secretary, who has been conscious during his entire illness, seems to have been more concerned for his wife than for himself.

He realized in the afternoon that the end was approaching, but his conversation made in feeble whispers to his daughter was, "Look out for your mother, give her all your attention; don't worry about me." The news of Secretary Gresham's relapse did not become known until 6 o'clock last evening, at which hour his niece, Mrs. Fuller, wife of Capt. Fuller, of the army, was sent for. It spread rapidly, and by 8 o'clock scores of persons prominent in public life had called to express their sympathy. Among the early callers were Secretary and Mrs.

Lamont. Mr. Thurber, the president's private secretary, also arrived at an early hour and was requested to notify the president that the secretary of state was rapidly sinking. Walter Quinton Gresham was little move than 63 years of age wbon his record as a soldier. Jurist and statesman was closed by death.

He was essentially an Indianian, though of late year3 claiming residence in Illinois. Born in Harrison county, March 17, 1832, and receiving all his early education and legal training In that state, he abandoned a prosperous law practice and a membership in the state legislature in August, .1861, to throw his whole energies into the prosecution of the war for the defense of the Union. His gallant and conspicuously able services in that capacity secured the strong friendship of Grant and the respect of his Confederate opponents, which was frequently manifested in after life. He entered the service as lieutenant colonel of the Thirty-eighth Indiana volunteers, was breveted brigadier general for gallantry in the siege of Vicksburg and retired as major general. In the operations before Atlanta, Ga while leading a division In Gen.

Frank Blair's corps, he received wounds while charging at the head of his brigade which put him in the hospital for nen rly nwji to a considerable, extent in capacitated him to tne enu or He was awarded a pension for this disabi. ty, but after he became secretary of state declined to receive it, although the constant and intense suffering resulting from those injuries undoubtedly aug-, mented the physical ailments 'which contributed to his death. After the war closed he was brought forward prominently as a political candidate. He ran for congress in the New Albany, Indiana, dis trict in 18U6 as a republican and was defeated, Then he was appointed financial agent of his state in New York City, and while holding this position was selected by President Grant for appointment as United States district judge in his native state. In 1889, when one of the oustomary changes in the complexion of the Indiana legislature made it possible to elect a republican to succeed Joseph E.

McDonald to the United States senate, Judge Gresham and Benjamin Harrison were the leading candidates for the position and Mr. Harrison secured the election. After the death of Garfield in 1882, Judge Gresham was tendered the position of postmaster general la President Arthur's reorganized cabinet and resigned his district judgeship to accept it When Secretary Folger died in 1884, after his overwhelming de feat as candidate for governor of New York by Grover Cleveland, Mr. Gresham was transferred to the treasury portfolio thus vacated. The duties Involved in the disposal of the pat ronage of one of the greatest esecutive depart ments of the government were not to his taste and at his own request President Arthur named him, after barely three months service as sec retary of the treasury, to tbe position of circuit ludee of the Seventh Judicial circuit, which em braces the states iOf Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin.

He retained this position until at the president's urgent personal request he joined Mr. Cleveland's second cabinet as seoretary of state. In 1892 tho populist party sent a delegation to tender Judge Gresham a nomination at the head of their tioket, but he declined to accept the offer and remained on tne Dencn untu lie re signed to become secretary of state.

Ho eoutii ii owbto street, aeciaea she would have an interview with these remarkable specialists, of whom she had heard 60 much. She accordingly called at their office where after waiting her turn she was ushered Into the consulting room. The lady opened the conversation by saying, "Doctor, I have called to fceo if you can tell rue where I am troubled with disease. I have been doctored with no less than nine physicians and no one ever relieved my sufferings and no twoagreed as to tire cause of my painful condition." Without entering into any preliminaries the doctor sat down and began describing her very aches ind pains, even going fhto details as to cause, all this without asking a question. Thta lady took ft course of treatment and was entirely relieved of her pain in less than six hours.

She now says that the half has not been told of the wonderful skill of these great specialists.

Col. Bush, of the First Keaiment of Artillery, is to be thanked for much of Major Dick's support in Muskingum County. The en tire Cleveland delegation is very fav orably inclined toward Major Dick and it is among the possibilities tnac ne will get the 62 solid votes of Cuyahoga county. While all the candidates for Governor nre nn llm pronnd. and their re- siicctive sunoorters are doing loyal and vigorous work in their behalf, it is still beyond tho power of mortal man to foretell who will receive the nomination.

If such a thing were possible, the situation is even more mixed than it was a week ago. This fact becomes more and more prominent each hour. Whomsoever the Kepublicans may nominate, will reeeiva the support of the whole party. 'o man has Leen named in connection with tha nomination who is not worthy to lead the Republican hosts. Be it Nash or Kevin, Bushnell or Barger, lioyt or Harris, Keifer or Toe, Cald well or Grosvenor, there will le no division of party or personal lines.

When the contest for leadership has been decided all the factions willjnerge once more, the lines that have been drawn will b9 obliterated, and the Republicans of Ohio will present a solid front to the enemy. Such factionalism as exists is good na-tured and is necessary it is as certain as Republican victory; such factionalism is the result of the assurance that the nomination means election, and that there is honor in the recognition of elegibility that servives defeat, into such factions the Republicans of Ohio are divided. Into a Bushnell faction, Nash faction, faction, a Foe faction. But next Friday there will be no factions left. The contest will be over, and the Republicans of Ohio will flock about the banner of the nominee.

C. H. Wright. The Situation at 1 o'clock. Special to The Beacon and Republican.

Zaxesville, May 28 As the hour of the assembling of the greatest State Convention Ohio has ever known draws ear, the scenes here become more intense and exciting- Sands are with flying banners are marching through the streets.gleeclubs are singing 'at the various headquarters, crowds of enthusiasts are yelling themselves hoare, and everywhere a vigorous canvass is being prosecuted in behalf of the aspirants for office. Deals and combinations innumerable are being set up, and trades of votes are being made. At 1 o'clock there Is a rumor, which is believed by many, that Bushnell has strength enough to bo nominated on the tirst ballot, should his managers so desire. Their it is said, is to defer the nomination until several ballots have been taken. Bushnell is the second choice of so many delegations that a stampede to him is not beyond the possibilities.

The Hoyt men are as confident as ever of success, and are doing much shouting in behalf of their favorite. The followers "105 WALL NEW-YORK. 5) of other candidates have not displayed enthusiasm duriig the rast few hours. Major Dick has been gaining strength steadily. The best feature of the situation in regard to him in that he will get votes from every Congressional district and from most of the counties.

His valuable services to the party are recognized throughout the State, and there is a steadily growing belief that he haa earned the Auditor- ship. Everything that is possible is-1 Deing done to insure his success and his nomination is expected. C. H. Weight.
