 CINCINNATI, May 17.-The dcm- oeratic state convention was call ed to order at II o'clock. After appointing several committees the convention adjourned till , o'clock.
 CONVENTION REAssEMBLED. The convention reassembled at 2:50 D. m., and the committee on credentials made their report. A lqucstion of contest in the second district arose, owing to the com mittec seating Hon J. F. Cary, and much excitement and confu- sion resulted. While the conven- ton was voting on the question Mir. Cary appeared upon the stand and withdrew his name as a delegate, and the report was thon adopted.
 The committee on permanent organization reported Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton as president; James sW. Newman, of Scioto, as secre- tary; with the usual number of vice presidents. The report was adopted and MT. Pendleton con ducted to the chair.
 After an address from the pres ident the report of the committee on resolutions was read. The committee made two reports. The reading of the majority report was followed by that of the mi nority, lay Gen. Morgan, who claimed that the report represent ed nine out of twenty members of the committee. It was as follows:
 Resolved, That recognizing the duty of the democratic party as the time-honored champion of the rights of the many against the aggrossions of the few to express It's purpose in the pending cur rency conflict, without reserve or equivocation, we shall urge against all opposition, come from what quarter it may, auy measures to effect the following objects:
 First The immediate and un- conditional repeal of the republi- can resumption law.
 Second-The defeat of all schemes for resumption, which ln- wolves either the contraction of the currency or the perrctuation of bank issues, or an increase of the interest burden of the debt.
 Third-Gradual but early sub stitution of legal tenders for na- tional bank notes.
 Fourth h-The issue by the gen eral government alone of all cir culating mediums, whether paper or metallic. 4
 Fiith-So forced imitation, no forced contraction, but a sound currency equal to the wants of trade and industry, to be regulat- ed in volume, and gradually equal ized with gold by means of appro- priate legislation, such as making it receivable for customs and in tefconyertible at the pleasure of the holder with bonds bearing an interest not to exceed three to sixty-tive hundredths per cent, ,. payable in gold, so that the vol tune of currency shall not be de termined by the pleasure or ca price of either congress or the banks.
 SiXth-Graduated income tax to meet at least the premium on the gold needed to pay interest on the public debt.
 Seventh-That pubic policy and a sense of common justice, requires that the silver issued by the government should be a legal tender in payment of all debts, public or private, and that we demand the unconditional repeal of the so-caIled silver act, so far as the same limits the amounts for which sad silver coin shall be q legal tender.
 .Eighth-We are in favor of a tariff for revenue only, and we denounce the republican scheme of resumption, as intended, and operating through large increase of bondcn debt, and a sudden and : enormous contraction of the cur rency to double the burdens of taxation, rob debtors of their property, paralyze the productive and commercial industries, cast laborers out of employment and fill the land with want and misery, for the wicked purpose of doub ling the value of money securities and subjugating the masses Of the people to the imperious sway Of a money monarchy.
 Ninth-That the democracy of Ohio present to the democracy of the other sovereign states of the republic the name of Wm. Allen as the choice of Ohio for the presidency.
 Tenth-That the delegates at large to the St. Louis convention and that the delegates appointed by the congressional districts, are hereby requested, in the national convention, to vote in favor oi Wm. Allen for president, and to use all honorable means to secure his success.
