TIM Democrats of Ohio met in State
Convention at Cincinnati on the 18th
inst. and organized by electing Geo. h.
Pendleton permanent president. The
selection of Pendleton a chairman was
taken ss evidence that the majority of
the delegates we're favorable to Thur
man as their candidate for President and
that the convention would repudiate the
greenback platform of last year and de-
clare in favor of specie. but this was a
mistake. When the committee on reso-
buttons came to report, two reports were
submitted to the convention, the minor
ity report approving of the greenback
platform of last year and presenting the
name of VIM. Allen as the choice of the
Ohio Democracy for the Presidency.
This minority report was adopted by a
vote of 1853 ayes to 300 noes. General
confusion prevailed during the reading
and adoption of this minority report and
a number of delegates left the conven-
ton. The Endorsement of ancient Will
liam's financial views and the presenta-
ton of his name to the st. Louis conven.
ton would indicate that the Democrats
of Ohio are in earnest in their opposition
to Tilden and hard money.

The proposed re.survey of the State
