A srkOxG STANDARD BEAkER.
The Democratic State Convention OF Ohio
ward Announces Himself for
senator.
In the state conventioa at Columbus,
Ohio, I yesterday, trouble was reached on
the first ballot when Butler county was
called. This county had divided delega.
ton, and the result was q call of the
counties to do away with the unit rule,
which was carried amid great confusion,
showing the strength of the leading candi:
dates to be about even. The completed
ballot resulted as follows: Hoadley, 290 A.;
Ward, 281 ;Geddes, n and Denver, 4.
The second ballot was ordered and pro-
ceeded until Butler county was reached,
when trouble again ensued. After the
call had been concluded some changes
began for Hoadley, and the greatest e1-
citement prevailed, delegates clambering
over each other and storming the platform
before the rest of the ballot could be
announced.
A motion to nominate Hoadley by &C
clamation was carried. He had in the
neighborhool of $50 votes, 319 being nec-
essary to a choice.
Judge Hoadley soon appeared and &C
cepted the nomination in brief address,
during which he reviewed his connection
with the party and said that although he
had wandered at one time with the Re-
publicans to fight the battles of the col.
Ored race, the Democracy was broad
enough to receive him again. He esteemed
it a great compliment to be nominated
over more worthy candidates, and believed
that the convention would place men on a
platform whose leading principles were
personal liberty, self control in Temperance
matters and license system.
The convention then proceeded to the
nomination of lieutenant governor, and
John G. Warwick, of Stark county,
was selected by acclamation before the
ballot was concluded. De Witt Goodman,
of Portage county, the other candidate,
was withdrawn.
The work of nomination was frequently
interrupted and delayed. 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 servics. Not to be daunted,
he announced himself publicly as candi-
date for United States senator.
A speech by Judge Geddes was in a
somewhat different vein, though both
pledged fealty to the party.
Before the other nominations we're
made the committee on resolutions sub
mitted the following platform, which was
adopted:
"The democracy of Ohio, in convention
assembled, hereby affirm the principles of
s,,k
and in the state and national platforms in
regard to personal liberty, the true func
ton of good 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 rob
bers of the public treasury, the
equalization of all public burdens, the
arrest of tho profligacy and extravaganza
that corrupts the administration of public
that has 50 long been pursued by the Re-
class interests ut the expense Of the labor
ing and wealth producing people of the
country and VIC reannOunce our previous
extinction of the public debt, and the
payment Of pensions to disabled soldiers,
their wives and orphans.
"Second. We favor tariff for revenue
limited to the necessities of 4 government
economically administered and 80 adjusted
in its application as to prevent unequal
burdens, encourage productive interests
at home and afford just compensation to
labor, bnt not to create or foster monopO.
lies.
"Third. The act of the Republican
Congress reducing the tariff on wool,
while at the same time increasing it ou
woolen goods, already highly protected,
was iniquitous legislation, discriminating
in favor of monopoly and against the
agricultural interests of the country, and
ought not to have been carried, and we
heartily approve tue action of the Demo
cratic members of the Ohio delegation
in Congress in voting against that in,
crease.
"Fourth. Tho Democratic party is, as
it always has been, opposed to sumptuary
legislation and unequal taxation in any
form, and is in favor Of the largest liberty
of private conduct consistent with the
public welfare and the rights of others,
and OF regulating the liquor traffic and
providing against evils resulting therefrom
by judicious and properly graded license
system.
Fifth. The abuses of the present con-
tract system in our state penitentiary, Ivy
which the products Of the labor of convicts
arc brought into competition with the pro
ducts of honest labor, to the great detri-
mcnt OF the latter, are injurious and un-
nd rrhk 70 t>D
promises of the Republican party to aboI-
ish this system are shown to ba false and
hypocritical by its failure to do so while it
has had the power.
"Sixth. Tho protection of tho govern
ment is duo to all American citizens, native
and foreign born, abroad as we'll as at
home.
''Ssventh. We reaf1irm the resolutions
of the state conventions of Ohio in 1880,
1881 and 1882, and of the Democratic
national conventions of 1872, 1876 and
1880, demanding thorough reform and
of the civil service, and charge
that the Republican party has violated
evey pledge IL has heretofore given for the
reform thereof, and has failed during it's
long administration of the government to
correct even the most crying abuses, and
we demand therefore change in the exc
cutive administration of the government
itself as the reform first of all necessary,
IS made more manifest by the recent Star
Route trials. thereby ousting corrupt rings
to protect crime and prevent
the punishment Of criminals, and by so
doing to make it possible to again punish
fraud in the public service.''
