TheOhio State Democratic ConVeh-
ton assembled in the Opera House this
morning at eleven o'clock for the pnr-
pose of nominating the various state VI
cars The attendance was immense, the
Opera House being filled in every part.
The stage was handsomely decorated
with flags and portraits OF Washington
Jackson and others. The spirit display
al is hopeful, and all the delegates l
have talked to are enthusiastically on
fident of carrying the State this fall
yallandigham is here hard at work
trying to defeat any candidate who may
have opposed his election to the United
States Senate last winter. Id
At IL o'clock the Convention was
called to order by E. +. Bingham, chair
man of the State Executive Committee,
and Hon. John F. Follett was elected
temporary chairman. After the tempo
rary organization had been effected the
Convention adjourned until 2 p. NJ.
On the reassembling of the Conven-
ton the committee on Permanent Or
ganization reported the name of the
Hon. Philander Van Trump, of Fairfield
county, for President of the Convention,
amid shouts of applause. Mr.. Van
Trump, in his speech of great power, ac-
Copied the position. ~ !
The next thing in order being the,
nomination of candidate for Governor

Milton II. Say Ter, Chiffon A. White,
Rufus P. Ranney, General A. Sanders
Piatt, General William S. Rosecrans,
General William P. Richardson, s. D.
Campbell and George III. Pendleton were
placed in nomination. When General
Rosecrans' name was announced the
building rang with shouts of applause.
The enthusiasm reached its highest on
the announcement OF the name of Hon.
George II. Pendleton. Immediately
following the announcement came ads
patch from Mr.. Pendleton refusing in
the strongest terms the use of his name.
The vote being taken, $50 votes were
cast, of which 295 were necessary for
choice. The two highest were Ranney,
who received 15G'votes, and Rosecrans,
who received 107, and despite Mr.. Pen

he received 50 votes. At the conclusion
of the second ballot, it being apparent
that General Roseorans would be NOM

votes to Rosecrans. He received 302
votes, aud was declared the nominee of
the Convention, and the nomination
was made unanimous.
The Platform was received with the
greatest enthusiasm, the Convention
cheering to the utmost.
THE PLATFORM.
The following resolutions Were adopt
ed &:
ReSOlred, That the exemption from
tax of over two thousand five hundred
million dollars in Government bonds
and securities is unjust to the people,
and ought not to be tolerated, and that
we are opposed TO any appropriations
for the payment of interest on public
bonds until they are made subject to
taxation.
Rc&Olred, That the claims of the bond
holders, that the bonds which were
bought with greenhacks, and the prin.
cipal of which is by law payable i'll cur
rency, should nevertheless be paid III
gold, is unjust and eXtortionate, and If
persisted in will inevitably force upon
the people the question of reputation.
Resolred, That we denOuuce the high
protective tariff which was designed
ONLY in the interests of the New Eng:
land manufacturers; that said tariff is
also by its enormous impositlons on
salt, sugar, tea, coffee and necessarieS
unendurably oppressive, especially upon
the people of the west, and that We de-
mand its repeal and the substitution of
another based on revenue principles
alone, upon the closest possible approx
imation to absolute free trade.
ReSolred, That the Democratic party
W y
permanently friendly to the rights and
the interests of the laboring men; that
they are in favor of limited number
of hours in all manufacturing work
shops, hours as dictated by the physical
and mental well-being of labor; that
they favor the most liberal laws in re.
gard 10 household and homestead eX-
emptions from sale and execution; that
they are also in favor of liberal grants
of land from the public domain TO the
actual settler without any cost, and
are opposed to the donation of them to
swindllng railroad carp9rations-and
that they are generally friendly to the
system of measures advocated by the
labor and industrial congresses, and we
pledge the Democratic party, II re-
stored to power, to exercise their lntiu-
ence i'll giving them practical appllca-
tiou.
ResOlred, That the attacks of Govern
ors Hays and Lee upon the doings of
the late General Assembly are false In
fact, malicious in spirit and unworthy
OF gentlemen occupying their elevated
positions.
RcSOlrCd That the late General AS.
sembly We're called upon to make large
anu extraordinary appropriations TO
rebuild the iuutic asylum, 10 provide
reform school fur girls, construct new
bind asylum, to make appropriations
TO pay over $4,000 of Judgment OBJ
tanned IN the Supreme Court of the
State in favor of the Life Insurance
ana Trust Company and to meet de-
hclency OF over 100000 of the proceed
ing Republican Legislature, all of which.
together with the extra compensat
paid to members under a law passed by |
Republican Legislature, were provided
for without an increase of the State
levy, and the appropriations in tbe ag.
greSate are much less than those of the
preceding republican Legislature with
out aLStraCting $780, goo from the relief
fund for the manned and disabled sol.
diers and their families.
Res6Ired, That we hereby return orr
thanks to the 5Sth General Assem-.
bly, for their economical expenditures
