cratic state Convention.

Na
COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 20.-The Demo
cratic state convention was late in coming
to order this morning, owing to the diff
Guilty in getting seats for the delegates
and visitors.
The subcommittee on resolutions APP
pointed last evening remained in session
until O'Clock this morning Then,
being unable to agree, they turned the
matter over to the full committee and the
committee will probably not be able to
report to the convention before noon.
The other proceedings of the conyen-
ton give promise of q routine and will be
readily disposed of.
The convention was called to order at
1915 o'clock this morning. The COM
mittee ON permanent organization re-
ported Hon. John Follett of Cincinnati,
for chairman and Hon. George W. Hull
of Lima, for permanent secretary.
The principal feature of the short
speech made by Mr.. Follett was the
strong endorsement of the present
national administration and his con-
plimenting the convention upon the
favorable auspices under which they had
met, with the national government Demo-
.
The committee on credentials reported
all the delegations full and no contests.
w. A. Miles of Columbus, member of
the committee appointed at meeting of
the State Voters Union to memorabilia
the state convention of the two parties for
the resubmission of the second amend
ment to vote of the people, presented
his report, which was referred under the

The committee on resolutions not
being ready to report the convention pro-
ceeded to the nomination of candidate
for governor and Congressman George
W. Geddes offered the name of Gov
ernor Hoadly in quite an extended
speech. He paid high compli-
ment to Judge Thurman for the
course taken by that gentleman in an
nouncing that he could not allow the use
of his name before the convention. Mr.
Geddes concluded bymoving suspension
of the rules and the nomination of Gov.
Hoadly by reclamation.
Gen. Michael Ryan of Cincinnati,
seconding the motion, defended the
governor at length against the charges
that he had made mistakes.
When the motion was put the vote was
and enthusiastic with the ex-
ception of few voices from the Hamilton
county delegation. After committee had
been appointed to wait on Gov. Hoadly
and bring him before the convention, w.
o. Marquis of Logan county, in short
speech, presented the name of John G.
Warwick of Massilon, for nomination
for lieutenant governor. The motion was
Immediately put and carried amid great
applause.
Other nominations were made, MS follows
Judge of the supreme court, Charles ID.
Martin treasurer, Peter Brady attorney
general, james Lawrence supreme court
judge, short term, Gibson Atherton;
member of the board of public works,
Henry Weible. The platform adopted
endorses the national administration APP
proves the measures taken by Congress
for preventing the acquisition of unearned
lands by railroad companies; favors
the regulation of the liquor traffic and
provides against the evils resulting there
from by judicious and properly graded
license system; favors arbitration as the
means of settling differences between
labor and its employers. The last plank
contains an appropriate alusion to the
death of General Grant. After the con-
vention the Democratic state central COM
mittee organized with 4. j. Cogan chnir-
man, and NJ. }. Tobias secretary An
executive committee was selected, with
