DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION. Oonyeuton that
assembled In Columbus on last Thursday, was not only
the largest but the most determined and enthusiastic
gathering OF the people which Ohio ever had Witnessed
within her borders. Although 1t was delegate Con.
vention, the people there to the humber Of ftv
thousand or seventyhve thousand to give their hearty
Instant approval OF the action OF their
It good fortune to be present and witnea
grand pageant Perfect harmony and good feeling nye
Taled throughout the vast multitude, and no disorder
ther from within or without, occurred during the en-
Ire session.
The ticket nominated, s probably, taken as whole |
he best ever presented to the people OF Ohio Never
vas there such enthusiasm felt for any as for our
tandard bearer, the extled Vallsndigham. His name
vas on every tongue and when he was announced as
he candidate for Governor, the very ground shook with
he cheering which continued for some minutes. The
enthusiasm which followed the nomination Of George
D. Pugh, for Lieutenant vernon, and the remainder
the ticket showed concluslyey that no wire -pu ling
politicians were there, bat the people themselves were
oing the work. The men nominated for the various
ces, are we'll known throughout the State for their
'ood character, qualifications and patriotism.
The platform adopted. we believe will meet the hear
throughout the entire State. Law, order and fidelity
the Constitution Of the State and United States are
ts distinguishing features.
Now o word as to our duty. Let US 20 to work In
earnest and elect the ticket by such msjorles as viii

State are respected and upheld against infringement

FROM 5000 TO 100000 DEMOCRATS IN CousoIL AT |
COLUMBUS, JUNE llTH--As there are so many contra

tae Convention, we would just say our readers that
were under oath could not put the number At

count, and fixed it at from 900 to 900. We then
rent to the west front and there found the steps base
