 COLUMBUS, O., June 25.-The Ohio Dem- ocratic State convention was called to order at 1O:3O o'clock this morning by Chairman David R. Paige, who introduced Permanent Chairman E. j. Finley. MT. Finley was greeted with applause. In his address he arraigned the Republican party and predict ed Democratic success in the October elec- tion in Ohio and in the country in November. MT. Finley dwelt long on the fraud of 1876. The mention of Samuel J. Tilden's name evoked the greatest enthusiasm. The Hon.

Russell offered a substitute His free trade resolution to strike out the section referring to the tariff in the committees report was hissed through out the reading and overwhelmingly voted down. MT. Converse's resolution-''That it is the sense of this convention that Samuel J. Tilden should receive the unanimous support of the Ohio State convention at Chicago on account of the great fraud of 1876"-was adopted with immense enthusiasm. A reso- lution in favor of the unit rule brought out 8 very vigorous protest from all quarters and resulted, upon roll call by counties in the motion being laid on the table, 385 ayes to 255 nays.

 Tammany and Governor CIeveIand- Kelly to Oppose FIim at Chicago, But to Support Him if Nominated.
 NEW YORK, Ju~e 25.-A Washington special to the Post says: The reported de- termination of John Kelly to oppose the nomination of Governor Cleveland and to s.knife" him if nominated has occasioned a great deal of talk among Democrats in the House. s. s. Cox said that he was author ized to state for MT. Kelly that should Gov ernor Cleveland receive the nomination he would have the support of Tammany. But, Mir. Cox added, Kelly is of the opinion that Cleveland would not be the strongest man his power to defeat him at Chicago. Mir. Dorsheimer believed Tammany would support Cleveland should he be nominated, but he thought Kelly would do Gll in his power to defeat his nomination. Abra- ! ham S. Hewitt thought the report was blus- ! ter and given out for the purpose of indu- encing delegates to distrusSe Cleveland. He has no doubt that the Governor will be nom ! mated and that he will be elected. Demo- crats from the West and South take 8 more serious view of the Tammany opposition and are convinced that unless New York is solid | for Cleveland it would be folly to nominate | him. One of these gentlemen said: ''Cleve- lands popularity is based upon the supposi- | ton that he can carry New York. If it turns out that a large wing of the party is opposed to him, then it would be simply suicide to l nominate him."
