ONO DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNBl
COLUMBUS, July THE Democratic State
Convention to-day vas well attended. The Hon P. Van
Trump presided The session not very harmonious
While majority of delegates undoubtedly desired the
nomination Of Ranney yet the Rosecrans worked so
diligently and successfully last night and this
forenoon that upon the assembling of the Con
yention this afternoon, the nomination OF their ia
vOrlte seemed possible. At the mention OF his name
the hall resounded with long and repeated applause the
most Of which seemed to come from outsiders. This
gave him Lift especially among tho weak kneed gentry
some OF the most bitter Rosecrans endeavored
TO slaughter him by sprngng Peudeton upon the Con-
vention. The announcing OF Pendeton's name was the
signal for general melee. which lasted for half hour
after the true Democratic style. Dispatches from
that gentleman forbdding the use Of his name
were read. but were received with cries Of
@iorgery." Outsiders yelled ROseerans and delegates,
"Roseerans," 'Pendleton." and "Ranney." The Chain
man. being unable 10 quen the tumult which bordered
very much on a hand 10 hand fight, took his seat In
despair Finally a resemblance OF order was obtained,
and ballotng commenced Ranney led the first ballot
but Rosecrans was nominated the second by seven
otsover all the other candidates The result was received
with utter disgust by Radical element Of the party
and IeOrt TO have the domination made unanimous
met with q signal failure. The Vallandg hammers are
loud and bitter in their tonight and indicate that
they will give the head Of the ticket only mk'and
water support The remaining nominations give better
satisfaction. The platform excited but little enthusiasm
The Republicans perfectly satisfied with the action OF
the Convention and are confident Of overwhelming
victory next Fall,
