we demand ss further acts Of justice 8:
well as measures OF relief, the absolute
repeal Of the resumption act snd Lawful
! liberation of the coin boarded IN the
treasury; the removal of all restrictions
to the coinage of silver and the re-estab.
lishment of silver as money metal the
same as gold, the same as it was before
its fraudulent decentralization; the grad
usl substitution of United States legal
tender paper for National bank notes, and
its permanent establishment as the sole
paper money OF the country, made re-
celvable for sll dues TO the
Government of equal tender with coin,
the amount of such issues TO be so TegU-
lated, by legislation or organic law, rs TO
give the people an assurance of stability
in the volume of currency and conse-
quent stability OF value, no further
increase in the bonded deb. and no
further sale of bonds for the purchase OF
com for resumption purposes, but the
gradual extinction Of the pCbl.c debt;
rigid economy in reduction OF experdl-
lures in al branches OF the public
service and tariff for revenue only.
Resolved, That the interests of the in
dividual wealth producing classes is the
paramount interest of the people OF the
United States. Those whose labor and
enterprise produce wealth should be Sc
cure in It's enj)yment. Our warmest
sympathy is extended to the laboring
classes who have been thrown out Of EN-
ployment by the ruinous financial policy
and unjust legislation of the Republican
party, and we pledge the Democratic
party to reversal OF that policy and n
restoration of ali the rights they are en-
titled to upon its ascendancy to power.
RsSOLUed, That there can be no legiti-
mate employment of an organized force
in this country except to execute the
law and TO maintain the public peace;
that no violence should be countenanced
to obtain redress for any alleged griev-
snce, but should be repressed at any
cost until relief can be secured by legal
methods. We congratulate the country
on the adoption of the constitutional and
pacific policy Of the local government in
the States Of the South, so long advocated
by the Democratic party, and which has
brought peace and harmony to that sec
tIon of tie Union.
Special Correspondence of the Register.
COLUMBUS, June rs.
Ii the natural order of things this
ought to be the "of year" in the politics
of this State, the convention which COL
vcnes to-day, dull and uninteresting as
sembsge, and the ensuing campaign uu-
usually quiet. But it somehow has come
TO pass that the ",ti year" don't occur
any more in Oaio, except with the Re-
publcans. With them latterIy every
wear seems to be an "otl year" and from
present indications the present will be
one of IFS worst, SO far as they are con-
cerned.
THE CONVENTION
which assemblies to-day will be one Of the
largest, if not the largest, and most er-
thusisstic the Democratic party has over
had in the State. Notwithstanding the
fact that there are but three offices to be
filed, and they comparatively unimport-
ant, every COuIty nAs sy.. Gg It's full
complement OF delegates, Large numbers
of Democrats from sll parts OF the State
have come up TO counsel together on the
situation, and Ms l write the streets are
crowded with people, bands are playing.
flags flying, and an enthusiasm and con-
fdence is everywhere manifested that
will carry everything before it at the
comirg election. There is deter nina
tion to press the campaign vigorously and
TO carry the State by as large majority
as possible, and as the political complex
ion of the next House of Representatives
may depend on the vote Of Ohio, to carry
at least fifteen OF the twenty CoDgressIon-
al districts
SENATOR THURMAN
is present and will assist in the work of
setting the Convention in working order
The distinguished Senator is looking bet
tor than for many years back, and will
do solid work for the Democracy in the
coming Csmpslgn. He gives it as his
opinion that the party was never IN bet
ter condition or stronger than at present,
and that everything is working well to-
wards its final triumph IN 1880. Speak
ing Of Senator Thurman, there is almost
an uuanimlty among the delegates srd
the Democrats of the State that be ought
TO be the Democratic candidate for Pres
ident in 1880. l have talked with repre-
tentative Democrats from sll parts
OF the State on the subject, and
it is hard to find one but who
recognizes the Senator'S ability and
strength, aud who Is heartily in favor of
presenting him TO the mex. National
Convention as Ohio's choice for next
President.
THE CANDIDATES.
There is no special excitement over
the candidates TO be nominated. For Sec
retary of Stat9 there are but two nsme.
before the Convention, David Z. Page,
OF Summit county, and CO... Ed. Brown,
of Mshouing. Both Of these gentlemen
are popular IN their immediate ncighb bor-
hooC, but not much known over the Stste
st large. Page will probably be the
nominee. For Supreme Judge there are
three candidates, Judge +: q Ashburn,
of CIermont county, now a member
OF the Supreme Court Commission. Judge
Hume, Of CIncinusti, and j. H. ;. Train or,
ESQ OF SteubenvI.!e. The latter named
gentleman has bu: few chances, owing 10
the lmpossibility OF securing the dele
gsles from his own part Of the Stste, and
the contest is practically between Judges
Ashburn aud Hume. As tho telegraph
line hss informed you Of the result by the
time you receive this, NEED no. here
discuss the probabilities.
One .act above sli others is clearly de-
fined in this coHveu;ion, and thst is thst
the old disagreement: between the two
fsctiolsl Of the party on fnsDcis questions
