The delegates to the Democratic. State
Convention, numbering four hundred and
fifty persons, met in Columbus, Wednes-
day morning at eleven o'clock, to place in
| nomination a State ticket, and adopt a
platform of principles. The Convention
was held in the large and spacious opera
house on High street-an institution we'll
adapted to the purpose, being bosh cool
and roony. The hall and stage of the
| opera-house were very neatly bedecked
with flags, and portraits of the founders
of the Democratic party Washington
| and Jackson-appeared prominently on the
proscenium boxes:
The Convention was composed of as fine
body of men, physically and mentally,
as we have ever seen at Democratic Con-
yentions, but, as before stated, there was
a notable lack of the old leaders who have
heretofore managed and directed such
bodies and shaped the course of the party.
Vallandigham was there, but such faces
as those of Jewett, Van Trump, Thurman,
Morgan. et a., were nowhere to be seen.
The young Democracy" as the new
hands at he bellows styles themselves,
were radiant from the start, and manifes-
ted great self-rehance as well as willing
ness to take charge of the old ship. Their
efforts and the marks of their handiwork
may be traced throughout the report of
the proceedings. The general hstlessness
which pervades political circles prevented
any enthusiastic outbufsts or manifesto
tions of sanguine hope The convention,
IN point of fact, was decidedly sober and
earnest, and attracted as few outsiders to
the galleries as any convention held since
the war.

DEMOCRACY.
At.precisely eleven o'clock a. NJ, the
convention was called to order by Charles
n. Allen, Chairman of the State Central
Committee, who announced that the first
business in order would be the selection of

men sprung to their feet and lifted up
their voices, but that of T. A. Corcoran
of Hamilton, first gained the favor of the
man with the gavel Mr.. Corcoran said
in clear and confident tone, Il nominate
as temporary chairman of this convention.
Hon. D. j. Callen, of Mercer, the champi-
Sn OF the Young Democracy of Ohio. -
me announcement was received with
murmurs of applause and q clapping of

youthful and vivacious Callen came for
ward TO the stage, and was introduced by
the chairman of the State Central Com
