The most important act of the Convention was
the adoption of a resolution by which, for the first
time, the Democracy of Ohio are pledged to the
support of the Baltimore platform. Hitherto they
have lodged that issue. We copy from the Ohio
State Journal, published at Columbus, SO much OF
the proceedings of the Convention relate to this
subject
FROM THE OHIO STATE JOURNAL MONDAY.
At2 o'clock 2 NJ Of Saturday the Convention re-as'
sembled in the City Hall.
Mr.. HoucK, Chairman Of the Committee on Resolu-
tions reported the following the report Of the ma
jority:
The Delegates Of the Democracy of the State Of Ohio in
Convention assembled do hereby ream the former doctrines
and issues of the party set forth in tho resolutions OF the

Rcole That VIC have entire and unabaed confidence in
the present Democratic Administration of the General Gov
ernmen and win give it our cordial and undivided sup
port.
Rsored That wo approve the doctrines and suggestions
forth the late message of Governor Med and hereby
recommend them the careful OF the General
Assembly.
As soon as the reading was finished the elements began
to gentleman in distant part of the hall, Mr.
CoNNoR of Wayne moved to amend the report by adding
the following resolution expressly endorsing the Bat-
more platform:
sembled hereby recognise and sdop our political princ-
Piles apd the Baltimore platform Of 1882 adopted by the
for President of the Unitod States -
This was the frebrand The Hards and the Softs now
began to stand revealed Shouts of approval and dsap
prova made perfect Bedlam of the hall for some time
The President shouted order till he hoarse, but
body needed him. He sat down and left the excited
about him to rage and shoute For some time they went
like set of crazy demons The man with the stoutest
lungs for time would make himself heard but corps
Of reporters earth could paint the appear
ed The delegates the tops Of the benches and
pressing around the chair in the centre Of the
A vote by counties vociferously demanded Some
that the resolutions of last year covered the
Baltimore platform. This was denied stoutly. One
shouted, We-dontt want your New York politics here"
Others said this lodging dsgraceful to the Democra
cy Of Ohio. The Cincinnati delegation fierce and
wild with excitement. Gfin, Roll Mclean, &c. wanted
the Baltimore platform.
After hard work the President succeeded in reducing
the enough order to take the vote by
ties the Baltimore platform amendment. We could
not get the vote of the countless it yeas 222 nays
58, and the President did not announce the result
cept by stating that the amendment adopted This
met by loud long shout and corresponding Kisses
from the delegates from the northern part of the State
Mr.. Attorney General McCooK, Of Steubenvle, moved
series Of resolutions substitute for the resolutions
reported by the committee and the amendment just
adopted. We regret that could not get copy, and
the official report published in the State Democrat this
morning does not refer to them They founded
the doctrines of New York Softs that all De-
mocrats and that it is not worth while to quarrel about
the dead issues of the past They intended and de-
signed to dodge the Baltimore PLATFORM and to cement
all parts of th fragments of the party together on the
grand theory Of spo without least reference
principles. Mr.. McCook spoke with much earnestness
in support of his substitute What good would result in
g6ng back to the dead issues of the past He wanted
the great and triumphant Democratic party of Ohio
still united and victorious By declining to endorse this
Baltimore platform they had acted in harmony. Why
thrust this rebrand among them at this late day? Some
body moved to lay the substitute the table McCook
dared them to do it. He would like Democratic
convention do such act with such sentiments 1t
said by that the substitute not materially
different from those before the House. McCook replied
that this not true They essentially different,
| and entirely inconsistent with them
Here of confusion ensued that shamed all the
previous disorder. Judge Burchard again took his seat
in despair and let the uproar 60 unchecked Forty
different voices all at the highest key were going at
the same time. Nobody could be heard Occasionally
strong unged individual would make desperate dash,
and succeed in getting out sentence that could be heard
by all within six feet Of the speaker One patriotic nd
vdual near us shouted out If you don't like it vote the
! ticket and spit on the platform"
After this scene had continued for time the Pre-
sdent again rose and announced that for the last time
he begged the Convention to to order Such
were disgraceful Order is Heavens first law, and
progress could be made in any business till this
cognsed by every present This appeal had the de-
sired effect and comparative quiet for few minutes
obtained. ..a. .a, tt. ... ,.a.&,3
The PRESIDENT then put the vote OF the adoption of
McCooks substitute when it uoted do and the vote
counties the passage Of the original resolutions and
amendment was called for. ..&s e1r@
Mr.. ROLL said he hoped the question by this time
well understood. All the Freesoiers would vote no, but
| all Democrats would vote for the resolutions
This taunt started the uproar afresh Senator ATKIN-
asked if the gentleman intended to stgmatize the
| Committee on Resolutions as Freesoilers?
"Yes ifteen,o them only six Democrats on it,"
Mr.. HoUCK said he glad Of chance to explain and
clear his skirts He opposed the resolutions without the
PLATFORM but, chairman, directed to report them
He in favor of the Baltimore platform all the me &C.
Mr.. McKENzIE, of the Kalda Venture" and later Of
the Ohio Legislature bitter against the platform He
declared he would bow his neck it. The North
would bolt first
One gentleman from the Reserve was very pathetic in
his appeal to his friends He begged them stop and
consider before they adopted the Baltimore platform
part Of Ohio political faith. There truer, better
Democrats in Ohio than in the Reserve We're the De-
mocracy willing to crush them, to destroy them by the
adoption Of this platform 1t would surely do it. For
time he begged and mplored for mercy and saliva
ton after this strain. a "..
Mr.. O'NEnL of Perry, denounced all such talk as
treason. The Democracy, he declared, could afford to
stand its bottom. 1t could whip the Freesoilers
and all the isms in ohio combined.
After considerable of this Sort the vote by
ties taken the resolutions and the Baltimore plat
form, and resulted ayes 1877 25. There vast
