ton to nominate Hoadley by acclzmatior
was carried. he had in the neighbor
hoo CT $50 voter, 5l9 being necessary Il
8 choice.
Judge Hoadley soon appeared and &C
cepted the nomination in ten minutes
address, during which he reviewed hi
connection with the party, and although
he bad wandered at one time with the
republicans 10 fight the battles of tht
C, lored race, the democracy was broad
enough to receive him. He esteemed il
q great compliment to be nominst d cV3l
more worthy candidates, and belieVei
they could win on the platform whose

control in temperance matters, and q
license system.

Columbus, Ohio, 21.-The work OF
nomination WIS frequently interrupted
ard delayed, and in The meantime Gen.
Ward was brought in and made q speech
! a which he severely rebuked the party
for failing to recognize his thirty years
service. He is thought not to be
daunted and announced himself publicly
as a candidate for the United States SEN
ate. The speech Of Judge Geddes was in
q somewhat different vein, though both
are pledged fully to tie party. Before
other nominations were made the COM
mittee on resolutions submitted the
following platform which was adopted:
The democracy Of Ohio, in convention
resssembled hereby reafirm tee princi-
pies ofthe party as expressed in the pri-
maries Of the state and national platform,
in regard to personal liberty and the true
functions of government as embraced IN
the political creed, expounded by the
great founder Of the democratic party,
Jefferson. The application Of these prin-
ciples to our present condition demands q
publication of the public service, the
punishment ofro6bers Of the public treas
ury, the equalization of sll public bur-
dens, the arrest Of prohigacy and extraY-
sgance that corrupts the administration
OF public affairs, and total
change in the policy that has SO
long been pursued by the republican
party, iavoring Individual aad class in-
terest at the expense of the laboring and
wealth producing people Of the country;
and We 1enounce our previous declara-
ton for stable money, the gradual
extinction Of the public debt and the
payment OF pensions to disabled soldiers,
their widows and orphanE. We favor
tariff for revenue limited to the necessi-
ties Of government, econ mically admin
istered. and so adjusted in its applica ion
as TO prevent uoequsl burdens; encour.
age productive industries at home; Afford
just c:mpeDsstion 10 labor, but not tC
cTeRte or foster mouopolies.
Third, the act of the republican Con
gress IN reducing the tariff for wool
while at the same time increasing it Oh
Woollen goods, already highly protected
was iniQuitous legislation, discriminating
in favor ofthe monopoly and against tbs
| agricultural interest OF The country, anC
ought TO be corrected. The democratic
party is, as it always has been, opposed
to sumptuous legislation and unequal il
any form, and is IN favor of The lsrgez
liberty 10 private conduct consistent will
the public welfare and the right
of others and of regulating tn
liquor traffic and providing sgains
the evils resulting tLeretrom by judi
cious and properly guided license sys
tenn. The abuses of the present contrac
system in our state penitentiary, b,
which the products OF labor conVicts ar

of honest labor to the great detriment o

ought to be corrected, and the promise
of the republican party to abolish thi
system are shown to be false and hypo
critical by its failure while it has had tn
power. The protection Of government
due to sill American citizens, natly
and foreign born, abroad as vel
as at home. We reaffirn tn
resolutions of the state convention
OF Ohio 1880, 1881 and 1882, and IT,
democratic national conventions of 1872
1876 and 1880, deman ling thorough re-

party has violated The pledge heretofor
