COLUMBUS, juno 4..-The Democratic state
Convention held here to-day. which nominated
Thomas Ewing for Governor. was one OF tho
best attended. most exciting and perhaps most
important ever held in the State. The nomina-
ton Of Ewing for Governor was not regarded
as much more than a possibility Yesterday. and
Rice who was nominated for Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor was believed TO stand an equal chance
with Bishop for the nomination Tor Governor.
He was not dreamed OF in connection with the
second place until Ewing's nomination was
assured.
Like the Republican Convention OF last week.
tho Convention excited great interest here and
throughout the country because OF the effect II
may have upon tho contest OF next year That
the Convention was guided by the probabilities
Of the Presidential campaign may be seen in
the failure OF Gov. Bishop to obtain
denomination in spite Of the Democratic
precedent Of giving denomination under
ordinary circumstances. Bishop made
hard fight for II and died hard. in his
death throes giving a mortal stab to the man
whodofcated him-John q. Thompson. Until the
nrstballot Bishop and his friends were confident
but failing 10 get a nomination on that 1t was
seen that It would be impossible for him to pull
through. and the attention OF tho Bishop back
ers was then directed to making those who de-
ieated him suffer. Bishop was more in accord
with Rice than with Ewing. but Rice was being
managed by Thompson. and Thompson 1t was
who had antaRonized Bishop; hence when
II came time in a general breakup
tho Bishop men went right over TO
Ewing and slaughtered Rice who. all along. ap-
pcared to have the best show for the nomina-
ton. The nomination OF Ewing means. most
likely, a soft money campaign and 1t looks
as IL the Democrats would compel the Re-
publicans in this State TO make the fight
on financial issue. The appointment OF Gen.
Steedman. an old war veteran. TO open the Con-
vention rs temporary Chairman and the nomi-
nation Of Gen. Rice to the second place on the
ticket. serves notice on the Republicans that
tAcy cannot make the fight on the bloody
shirt" with any prospects OF success.
The balance OF the ticket is considered
10 be strong. and altogether the work OF the
Convention is satisfactory to the party. Judge
Gilmore. the nominee for Judge OF the Supreme
Court. and Judge Pillars the nominee for the
Attorney Generalship. are the present in
cumbents OF these offices and are both good
men. The balance OF the ticket has been well
selected. The Germans OF Hamilton County
get the Auditor OF State Chase Remeelin and
the Irish element OF the Cleveland district get
Patrick O'Marah. There has been some talk OF
Rice's refusing to run for the second place,
but 1t is authorltatively stated that he will
accept OF the nomination. The leaders are in
good spirits over the result OF the days work.
