The Conventiou-Its Ticket and
its Platform.

It's Platform.
The Radicals of Ohio, in State Conven-
ton assembled, met in this city on yester-
day aud adjourned last evening, after a
protracted and stormy session. The full
proceedings, except the side shows, win be
found In full in to-day's STATESMAN.
The members of the last Legislature gho
came to the city to demand that Justice be
done them. by an endorsement of the negro
suffrage resolution-thus committing the
party to negro voting-were successful,
and, under the name Of q Impartial Loyal
Manhood Suffrage" the negroes are to be
entitled to all the rights of the whites. The
issue is thus made--negro suffrage Is to be
the great question at the polls, and all who
hold that the negro is the equal, II not su-
perior of the white race, Is expected to vote
the ticket which flies the negro at its head.
The candidate for Governor, Gen. r. B.
HAYES, Of Cincinnati, chosen as the stand
ard bearer In the contest, is the right man
in the. right place. Neither he nor his
friends boast of his enlarged intellect. His
record on Negro Suffrage Is good one for
the darkies. He voted for it in Congress,
of the people Of the District of Columbia,
it was forced upon them, and the capital
city Of the nation was given over to the ne
groes whose votes controlled the election.
We had hoped that, as the Democratic
party had placed in nomination. one of its
best and most talented men for Governor,
that the Republicans would at least have
nominated a man of more than medium
talent, but they fell below it. If the Repub-
lican party admit their nominee to be
representative man OF the intellect OF their
party, we, on our side, confidently point to
Judge THURMAN as occupying representa-
tive position In the Democratic party.
The nomination of Mr.. GALLOWAY, as
Lieutenant Governor, was sore blow
aimed at that gentleman. With talent far
above that of the head of the ticket, the
Office Is one that he is the least fitted to fill.
The duty assigned to 1t is more ornamental
than useful and consists alone in being
the presiding officer of the State Senate.
It Is expected OF Mr.. GALLOWAY that, in
the campaign, he is to do the duty usually
assigned to the head of the ticket, in deliy-
ering stump speeches throughout Ohio,
that Gen. HAYES may derive benefit there
from. Mr.. GALLOWAY, although not mil
itary man, nor bred to the art of war, still
has as much pugnacity as falls to the lot OF
most men, and the curt answer he gave to
the committee, who waited upon him to.
get his consent to run shows that his feel
ings are deeply wounded In thus being
slaughtered in the house of his friends-a
victim to the triumph of expediency over
brains. Il ~ Els ssE -
The balance of the Ticket is but re-
hash of the present imbeciles in power.
Gen. GOODMAN, the chief of the Board of
Fund Commissioners, and his aid, w. H.
WEST, who rendered him great service in
filching from the Soldiers Relief Fund
$s0O,0O0 of the money raised by taxation to
support the necessitous families of those
who fell In battle, are again nominated, the
former for Auditor of State, the latter for
Attorney General. Col. BRAnY, whose
office the Auditor and Treasurer of State
did their best, the two past winters, to get
abolished as useless, because, perhaps, it
interfered with their plans, was, against
their earnest protest, renominated as
Comptroller Of the Treasury. Mr.. WAR
KER was renominated for Treasurer of /
State. Judge WELcH, of Athens, was re-
nominated as Supreme Judge, and PHILIP
HERzIe as the candidate for Member of the
Board Of Public Works. ss
The Ticket presents a want of harmony
rarely to be met with. The candidates for
Governor and Lieut.. Governor do. not hitch
teams at all, while the candidates for Audi
tor, Treasurer and Attorney General are
openly at war with the candidate for Comp
troller, and did their prettiest to defeat his
nomination. $500 q.asa-& +
The Ticket was made to be beaten. 1t is
so written In the Book of Fate and the peo-
pie Of Ohio, at the polls in October, win
ind 1t so recorded.
