Columbus, Ohio, June 2l.-Trouble was
reached on the first ballot when Butler
county was called, which had divided the
delegation, resulted in the call of counties
to do away with the unit rule, which was
carried amid great confusion, and showed
the strength of the leading candidates to
be about even. The ballot was not COM
pleted until 1:30 o'clock, and was as fol-
lows: Hoadley, 800; Ward, 26l; Geddes.

Judge Hoadley soon appeared and ac-
speech, during which he reviewed his con-
nection with the party, and although he
had wandered at one time with the repub-
leans to fight the battles OF the cOlOred
race, the democracy was broad enough
to receive him again. He esteemed it a
great compliment TO be nominated over a
more worthy candidate and believed they
could win on the platform whose leading
principals we're personal liberty, self-con-
troll in temperance matters, and a license
system.
The convention proceeded to the nOmi-
nation of lieutenant-gOvernor, and John q.

Guided. Dewitt Coleman, of Portage
county, the other candidate, was with

and delayed and in the meet
ing General Ward was brought in and
made speech in which he severely re-
,uked the party for failing to recognize his
thirty years services. Though not to be
