 COLUMBUS, Jnne 21.-The Ohio State Dem 1 ocratic convention which assembled here to
 day was one of the largest which has mel
 for years and proved to be as well one of the
 most remarkable in confusion and bitterness
 The following candidates who had been l prominently mentioned for governor-Hon. I George Headley of Cincinnati, General Dur bin Ward of Lebanon and Judge George w. | Geddes of Mansfeld-have been at work
 early and late at all the Democratic pri- maries in the State to secure delegates for 1 their candidacy and the means used in seeur- l ing delegates and instructions had created a very excited feeling and all parties came into 1 the convention to-day intensely earnest and bitter against each other. The convention 1 was called to order by Chairman Irvine of | the State Central committee, who introduced Hon. John McSweeney as permanent chair
 man of the convention. The latter came forward and made 8 short speech, after which nominations for governor were made. Matthew Ryan, of Cincinnati, nominated Hon. George Hoadley, of Hamilton. MT. Ryan in his speech referred to the fact that Judge Hoadley was not always 8 Dem ocrat, fact that Wards friends
 used freely against his candidacy, but he told them that he (Hoadley) made Democratic
 speeches twenty-five years ago. aIn 1877 he stood before the electorial commissioners in
 behalf of the party and all thought him 8 good Democrat then, and if there were
 plenty of others as goed democrats as George

 elected, (great applause). E. Powell, of Delaware, named General Durbin Ward. of
 Warren, claiming thirty years of faithful services to the party. His services in the army where he was wounded entitled him to recogni ton at the hands of the party. Hon. Allen G. Thurman seconded this nomi- nation in very happy speech which eliitced hearty applause from the con- vention. Dr. Craven, of Toledo, named Judge George W. Geddes. Geddes is prohibition ist and Dr. Craven claimed that his nomina- tion would settle several matters on the liquor and license question which enter large ly into the campaign this fall. The commit tee on resolutions not being ready to report the ballotting commenced by an alphabetical call of counties The convention cast 633 votes, 317 being necessary to @ choice. When Butler was reached there was dispute in the delegation as to how the vote should be cast and from this time, 10 8. m., and until 3 p. ,oSOA0 A440OOSA4NeSNAS3 chairman being unable to maintain order. From ten to twenty delegates were on the
 floor yelling for recognition and 1t was i'm possible to hear or distinguish anything in- telligible.
 The committee on resolutions reported platform in which they reafirm the princi- pies of the party as regards personal liberty, the true functions of the government en- braced in the political creed of Thomas Jeffer- son, demand purifcation of the public ser vice, the equalization of all public burdens and the arrest of prohigacy and extrayagance affairs, total changes in the policy so long pursued by the Republican party in favoring individual and class interests at the expense of labor and the wealth producing people of the country, de- clare for staple money, the extinction of the public debt, the payment of pensions to dis abled soldiers, their widows and orphans; favor 8 tariff for revenue limited to the necessities of the government and against unequal burdens; encourage productive industries at home and against
 monopolies that the act of the Republican Congress in reducing the tariff on wool and increasing it on woolen goods is iniquitous legislation; approves of Democratic mem- bers of Congress voting against the same; that the Democratic party is op posed to sumptuary legislation, unequal taxation in any form; favor the largest liberty to private conduct consistent with the public welfare and the rights of others in regulating the liquor traffic by a judicious and properly graded license system, the correction of the contract labor system in the penitentiary, the protection of Ameri- can citizens board, the purifcation of the civil service and demand change in the exc cutive administration of the government made still more manifest on the Star route trial thereby oustings rings, &c., &c.
 Nominations for lieutenant governor be ing declared in order Dewitt c. Goldman, of Portage and John G. Warmick, of Starke, were put in nomination. During the call of counties Judge Hoadley, the nominee of the convention for Governor, appeared and ad- dressed the convention in short and ring ing speech, after which the call for Lieute- nant Governor proceeded and when Hancock county was reached the name of Dewitt Goldman was withdrawn and John G. War wick was nominated by exclamation. For Supreme court judge M. D. Follett, of Washington county, was nomi- mated on the second ballot for the short term, and Selwyn N. Owen, of Williams, was nom- mated for the long term. For clerk of the Supreme court E. W. Cruikshank. of Mont gomery county, was nominated and for At torney General, James A. Lawrence, of Cuyahoga. At 9:3Op. m, during the nom ination for the auditor of the State, great excitement was caused by delegate from Hamilton county which ended in his being picked up bodily and carried out of the con- vention amid great excitement and rushing around of members in the hall After quiet had been partially restored and nominations were resumed at 1O:1O Emil Kiessewetter, of Franklin county, was nominated for auditor of the State and Peter Brady, of Sandusky county was nominated for treasurer of the State.
 General Durbin Ward, the defeated candi- date for Governor, was sent for this after noon during the excitement to come before the convention and make speech. He re- sponded and appeared on the platform and made short speech which was full of re- proach and bitterness. He told them he had fought their battles for thirty years and that they had given the nomination to one who had not rendered one- tenth the service to the party that he had. He had fought in the army and been wound ed in battles and now they had sent for him to read him out of the party (loud cries from all over the convention hall-No-No-next United States Senator). But he refused to be read out. He continued in this strain for a few moments and finally closed by an- nouncing himself as 8 candidate for United States Senator next winter.
 The convention held to-day will always be remembered as one of the most remarkable and hotly contested ever held in Ohio where Confusion. wild excitement, disorder and bad blood reigned supreme. The ticket nom- mated is generally regarded as strong one, but the effect of to-day's battle will uu- doubtedly leave 8 great many bleeding wounds that may not heal before the October 1 election The soldiers are especially sore over the defeat of their comrade General Ward and claim he was slsugh- 1 tered by the Geddes men. The l campaign in Ohio this fall promises to be one of the greatest political battles ever fought in the State as both parties have made excel | lent nominations and are determined to win. |
