The Democratic State COnYcu-
tom of Yesterday.

The Democratic State COnVcn-
tiOn OF Yesterday.
Elsewhere will be found the proceed
ings Of the Great Convention which met
in this city on Yesterday. Every county
in the S ate was represented, and many
of them by immense delegations, and the
nominations, and the address and rcsolu-
iions, will, we think, meet the cordial
approval and support of the conscrvo-
tive men of Ohio, Of all parties, as they
did the unanimous sanction of the Con-
vcntion.
Rufus p. Ranney, the nominee for Su-
prone Judge, is so well and favorable
known throughout Ohio as a sound law
yer. an upright judge and an honest man,
that it would be supcrluous Tor us so say
anything in commendation Of nm. He
has heretofore adorned the Supreme Bench
and wo trust and believe the people Of
Ohio vii. again call him to that exalted
station.
VIM. w. Armstrong, the nominee for
Secretary Of State, is the able and patri-
otic editor Of that excellent constitution
al paper, the Seneca County 1dger'iscr.
He is a good business man, with caraci.
ty and aptncss, which peculiarly fit him
for tho office, and, if elected, will make
an excellent Secretary.
Lyman r. Critchield, Of Holmes corn.
ty, the nominee for Attorney General, is
a lawyer of good business habits and ca
pacity, well fitted to discharge the duties
of the distinguished position for which
he is nominated.
James Gamble, Of Coshocton county,
the candidate for the Board of Public
Works, is a man Of good judgement and
solid sense, who, during his Legislative
term, served on the committee Of Public
Works in the House Of Representatives,
and in that capacity exhibited moro dill
gencc and industry in the business of his
committee, than any man upon it. lie
wonld make safe and faithful member
of the Board.
The nominee for Commissioner Of Com
mon Schools, Charles w. II. Cathcart,
is at present, we believe, the Superin,en.
dent Of the Common Schools Of the City
of Dayton, and, therefore, experienced in
this particular and important branch of the
public servic connected with our Com
mon School system. He has capacity
and all the qualifications necessary to en-
able him to discharge the duties of Com
missioner Of Common Schools to the sat
islaction of the people, and the benefit
and advantage Of the State.
