VENTIOk.
Endorsement OF Greeley and Brown.
sECEBERs FROM SECESsIONISTs.
Last Thursday the Democracy oi
Ohio, met at Cleveland, and had a
very lively time, judging from the re-
port, which is too lengthy for cur
space. We give an abridged report as
follows:
President, Hon. Hugh J. Jewett.
Secretary, D. c. Ballantine.
The President made a speech IN
which he regretted the numerous fall
ures Of the Democracy for a number
Of years past, but felt hopeful for the (
future. as the sore-heads and disap-
pointed offiee-seekers Of the Republic
can party had organized a clique |
among themselves, and invited the
Democracy, with out-stretched arms, /
70 eoalesce with them. He was very
careful not TO commit anybody TO
anything, but it was apparent that he
felt that the best thing for the Demo-
cracy to do was TO renounce whatever
Of principle they still had aud ''go in
to win"
GULPIEG DOWN GREELEY.
The report of the Committee on res
olutions was called for and the chair
man offered the following
PLATFORM.
Resolved, BY the Democrats OF
Ohio in Convention assem- bled, that
/ the platform Of principles adopted Dy
the Cincinnati Convention, together
with q clear Interpretation OF the
same enunciated in the the letter OF
Horace Greeley, accepting the nom
fnatiOn Of that convention for the Of
fee of the President Of the United
States, afford a common ground upon
which Liberal men Of all political
parties may consistently unite Ia op-
position TO the present administrator
and its attendant official corruption.
ResOIUed, that our delegates this
day chosen TO represent us in the
National Convention, to assemble
at Baltimore, are requested to vote
for the nomination Of Horace Gree
lev and B. Gratz Brown as our can
didates for President and Vice Presi-
dent.
The above were not received with
the unetIon expected, though mo-
ton to lay them on the table was vo-
ted down amid great enthusiasm.
Next followed the announcement OF
names of candidates. Several were
offered for the Office of Secretary OF
States, when w. D. Hill, of Defiance,
prince of the BOurbons, rose to bis
feet and hissed out in a spiteful voice;
stMr. President, I nominate A. T.
Wykoff, Of Adams county, the pres
ent Republican candidate for Secreta-
nv of State. If we come here for sue
cess let US have itT' This uneZpect-
ed kick from the stubborn mules ere
ated considerable commOticn for
8 few moments. The managers looked
= daggers at the Hoop-polers, but they
z were determined to hold their ground
! At length the name Of Mr. Wyko1
t was withdrawn by a delegate from
] Allen county, with Mr.. Hill's con
! sent, though the trouble did not enc
D with that withdrawance.
3 A CLEAR CASE OF SECESSION.
a When Defiance county was called
lMr. Hill announced that portion o.
that delegation had withdrawn from
the Convention. The disguised BOur
: bons who shook of the dust from
3 their feet and declared they woul'
q have no part nor lot in a Greele.
i Convention were John NJ. Sew
3 ell, Auditor of Defiance county, As
g Toberein, Treasurer, and Jacob Karst
Sheriff. These, accompanied by j. A
Ferguson, of Paulding county, pickle
: up their hats and stood not on the OF
der of their going. They retired t
< the rear of the hall, beyond the bar {
i the Convention. The matter wa
6 plastered over by 3 motion, whic
u was carried, authorizing the delegate
J remaining to cast the full vote Ofthei
e respective counties. The recalcitran
q delegate from Paulding declared tbs
"Paulding wouldn't vote on tha
platform :"
Il a large number of delegates fror
n other portions Of the State hold tn
n same views on this matter as do th
!: 'Hoop-polers," as the delegates iron
q the Northwest were called, and
. will be found difficult to whip thsr
: into the traces of Greeley if he is en-
d dorsed at Baltimore.
; The following is the ticket:
,e For Secretary of State, Genera
" Wiley, of Wooster.
y Judge of Supreme Court, J.
IS Greene, of Franklin county.
