GOV. HOADLEY.
THE NENT GOTEREOR OFOHTO So,r
MATED TESTERD1Y.
His Name is Geo.s. Hoadley, and He VIII
Sweep the State-A Splendid Platform of
Principles Adopted.

CrdLlC COuNeuIIOu convened at III q. m.
with the largest crowd ever seen in Column
bus. Not more than half the crowd could
be accommodated in the Opera house, and
sultry weather and rain made everything
disagreeabie. The contest between Ward
and Hoadley for governor ragged fercely
during the morning hours. The conven-
ton was called to order by Clark Irvine,
chairman of the central committee, and the
reports of committees appointed last night
were heard. All preliminary organization
was dispensed with, and Hon. John Nc
sweeney was introduced as permanent
chairman and was received with much en-
thuslasm. He spoke briefly in the line of
Nhortatlon and predicting Democratic vic
tory, but touched no issue. The floor of
| the convention became so overrun with
| spectators that business was suspended
| ana sergeant-at-arms from each district
| appointed to get the delegates seats. It
was about half an hour before work was
| resumed, when the committee on resoIu-
| tons, not being ready to report, the con-
vention proceeded to the nomination of
governor. There was great delay in the
| presentation of names. Efforts were made
to proceed to a ballot without the names
| but after long wait Senator Thurman
crowded onto the stage amid the widest
enthusiasm. He followed r. E. Powell and
| seconded the nomination of General
| Durbin Ward. He made an able plea for
recognition of the services of Gen. Ward.
He warned the convention about tyinr
| themselves to one issue. and announced
that the party had always been arrayed
against sumptuary legislation and shc1ld
continue in that way. The names of
| Hoadley and Geddes were then presented,
After the call had been concluded, some
changes began for Hoadley, and the great
est excitement prevailed, delegates climb
ing over each other and storming the plat
form. Before the result of the ballot
could be announced, a motion to nomi.
nate Hoadley by reclamation was carried.
He had IN the neighborhood of $50 votes,
3l9 being necessary to choice.
Trouble was reached on the first ballot,
when Butler county was called, which had
divided delegation, and resulted in call
of counties to do aw6y with the unit rule
which was carried amid great confusion
and shouts. The strength of the leading
candidates was thought to be about even.
The ballot was not completed till 1:3O,
and was as follows: Hoadley, 29O; Ward,
ZoI; GeddeS, III; Denham AZ.
The second ballot proceeded until Butler
county was reached again, and the same
trouble resulted. After the call had been
concluded some changes began for Hoad-
! ley, and the greatest excitement prevailed,
delegates climbing over each other and
| storm1ng the platform before the result of
the ballot could be announced. A motion
to nominate Hoadley by reclamation was
carried. He had in the neighborhood of
$50 votes, 319 being necessary to a choice.
Judge Hoadley soon appeared and &C
cepted the nomination in a ten minutes
address, during which he reviewed his con-
nectlon with the party, and although he
had worked at one time with the Republic
ans to fight the battles of the colored race,
the Democratic party was broad enough to
receive him. He esteemed it a great COM
pliment to be nominated over a more
worthy candidate, and believed they could
win on platform whose leading principles
were personal liberty, self control in tenn
perance matters and license system.
The convention proceeded to the nomi-
nation of a lieutenant governor, and John
G. Warwick, of Stark county, was selected
by reclamation before the ballot was COD
Guided. Dewitt G. Goldman, of Portage
county, the other candidate, was with
drawn.
The work of nomination was frequently
interrupted and delayed and in the mean
time General Ward was brought in and
made speech in which he severely re-
buked the party for failing to recognize
his thirty years service, though not to be
daunted, he announced himself publicly as
candidate for the United States senate.
The speech of Judge Goddess was a some
what different view, though both pledged
fealty to the party. Before the other nom
nations were made the com mittee on res
olutions submitted the following which
was adopted:
PLATFORM.
The Democracy of Ohio in convention
assembled, hereby reafirm the principles
of the party as expressed in the primaries
of the state and in national platforms in
regard to personal liberty, the true func-
lions OF the government, and as embraced
in the political creed expounded by the
great founder of the Democratic party,
Thomas Jefferson. The application of
these principles to our present condition
demands the publication of the public
service, the punishment of the robbers of
the public treasury, the equalization of all
profigacy and extravaganza that
corrupts the administration of
public affairs and total change in the
policy that has so long been pursued by
the Republican party, favoring individual
and class interest at the expense of the
laboring and wealth producing people of
the country, and we reannounce our pre-
viou5 declarations for stable money, for the
gradual extinction of the public debt and
the payment of pensions to disabled SOL
d1ers, their widows and orphans.
Second-We favor tariff for revenue
limited to the necessities of the govern
ment, economically administered, and so
adjusted in its application as to prevent
unequal burdens, encourage productive in
dustries at home and afford just compen-
sation to labor, but not to create or foster
monopolies.
Third-The act of the Republican con-
gress reducing the tariff on wool, while at
the same time increasing it on wooden
goods, already rightly protected, was in
iquitous legislation, discriminating in ia
vor of monopoly and against the agricul-
tural interests of the country, and ought
to be corrected, and we heartily approve of
