Ohio Democratic Convention.
COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 2G.-The Demo
cratic state convention was called to order
this morning by T. J. Coogan, chairman of
the state central committee. and the COM
mittee on permanent organization reported
Hon. John Follett, Cincinnati. permanent
chairman. and George II. Hull, Lima, per-
manent secretary.
The principal feature of the short speech
made by Mr.. Folet was strong indOrse-
ment of the present national administration
and complimenting the convention on
the favorable auspices under which it
had met, with the national government
Democratic and the state prOmisingly so.
The committee on credentials reported
all delegations full and no contests.
\ little scene was enacted in the conven-
ton al this point by the introduction of w.
i. Miles of Columbus, member of the
committee appointed at the meeting of the
State Voters union. to memorable the state
conventions Of the two parties for a reSub-
mission of a second amendment to vote of
the people. Hon. Miles Gardner, James
AIckOy and other prominent members of the
Voters Il nion were present as members Of
the committee. The committee asked re-
submission Of the second amendment clos
lIS NtlotllS Oh rotLtdg dil1l q SCLtlelA lClL-
edy Of existing evils from the drink traffic.
A GREAT UPROAR
was created in the convention by glass of
water being handed 10 Miles while reading
the report. 1t was referred to the com
mittee on resolutions under the rules.
The committee on resolutions not being
ready to report. the convention proceeded
to nominate a candidate for governor. Con-
gresSman George w. Geddes was the first
t. appear, and offered the name of Gov.
Hoadly in quite lengthy speech, recount
ing his brilliant record As governor and also
paving nigh compliment to Judge Thur
man and announcing that he could not
allow the use of his name before the con-
ventiOn. Geddes concluded by moving a
suspension Of the rules and the nomination
of HOadly by accamatiOn. This was re-
ceiVed with long applause and no objection
was made to the motion. Gen. Michael
Ryan OF Cincinnati followed, seconding the
motion and defended the governor at length
against the charges that he had made mis-
takes. When the motion was put the vote
was unanimous and enthusiastic, with the
exception of few voices from the Hamil-
on county delegation.
After a committee had been appointed to
wait Oh Gov. Hoadly and bring him before
the convention. W. V. Marquis of Logan
county, in a short speech presented the
name Of John q. Warwick Of Masillion for
denomination for lieutenant governor. The
motion was enthusiastically put and carried
unanimously amid moderate applause.
HOADLY SPEAKS.
Before proceeding to further business,
the nominee. Gov. Hoadly, was introduced
amid much enthusiasm and explained while
he had not been an outSpOllen candidate for
the nomination, the party had brought him
through before in an ambulance without
much effort on his part and he thought he
mad no right to claim denomination under
rules Of precedent. The convention being
free to act, without asking it he could not
help responding to tine call, and with better
health. would hope even better results. In
MS discharge of his trust he demanded the
severeSt criticism in all official acts. He
endorsed the work OF the last legislature,
saving nothing was done by it which Judge
Foraker would have dared to veto if he had
the power. lie thought Foraker. instead
of finding fault with the present admins
traton. should be defending the memory of
Rutherford b. Hayes and the legislature
which robbed Cincinnati of local govern
mert. Gov IIoadly defined himself as
AGAINST prohibition and did not believe the
regulation OF taxation was eternal.
Taxation was OdiOuS TO him.
After the governor had concluded his
speech. on motion Of the Hamilton county
contingent, which had objected to his nom
inatiOn. three cheers We're given. The
names Of Hon. Charles ID. Martin of Fair
field county and Judge w. J. Gilmore of
Franklin were presented for nomination for
supreme Judge for the long term. Before
the call Of counties was completed the name
of Gilmore was Withdrawn and Martins
nOluiIation made unanimous and by accla-
nation.
The principal fight of the convention was
in the selection of candidate for the va
cancy on the supreme bench vice Okey. de-
ceased. George B. Okey, son of the late
incumhent. was presented with Virgil P
Clyye and Gibson Otherton as other leading
candidates. Oh the first ballot such great
confusion prevailed in an effort to change
from other candidates to Okey and Other
ton that another ballot had TO be ordered
On the third ballot OthertOn was nominated
and it was made unanimous.
The ticket was completed by the nOmina-
tiOn OF Peter Brady for treasurer. James
Lawrence for attorney general and Henry
WeibeI for member of the board of public
works. All We're renominated by acclama-
ton.
THE PLATFORM.
The Democratic party of Ohio in con-
vention assembled. congratulates the country
upon the election and Inauguration of the
Democratic candidates for president and
vice president of the United States. The
fortunate events and wise administration
that has followed have already dispelled the
illusion that Democratic success is incon-
siStent with the business interests of the
country or perilouS to the rights of freed
men. The revival of prosperity and the i'll
crease in the value Of property already be-
gun demonstrate the beneficency of Demo-
cratic principles, even before any session of
congress have enabled the country to realize
the full fruiti0n of their application by
legislation. We congratulate
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND
and his cabinet on the auspicious beginning
they have made in the necessary reforms
Of the government, and heartily indorse
Their administration.
We approve the measures taken by
Democratic congress for preventing the ac-
quisitiOn of uneaned lands by railroad
companies and Democratic president IN
firmly holding public lands for public uses
and IN preventing their unlawful occupa-
ton.
The 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 liq-
nor traliic and providing against the evils
resulting therefrOm by a judiciOus and
properly graded license system. The DEM
Dcratic party is and ALWAYS has been
the party of the people and of the
agricultural and wool-growing interests.
the enemy of monopoly, the friend of labor
