short speech made by Mr.. Follett was
his strong endorsement Of the present
National Administration and his com
plimenting the Convention on the favor
able auspices under which they had
met. with the National Government
Democratic and the State promisingly
so.
The Committee on Credentials re-
ported AZ the delegations full and no

was referred under the rules to the
Committee on Resolutions.
The Committee on Resolutions not

proceeded TO the nomination OF acsndi-
date for Governor, and Congressman
George W. Geddes offered the name Of
Governor Hoadly in quite al extendes
speech. lie paid high compliment TO
Judge Thurman for the course taken
by that gentleman IN announcing that

raj Michael Ryan, Of Cincinnati, IN sec
Onding the nomination, defended the

loT even better results il the discharge
Of his trusts. BE demanded the most
searching criticism OF all his official
acts. he endorsed the work OF the
last Legislature, SAYING tina, nothing
was done by il which Judge Foraker
would have dared veto If he had the
power. He thought that Judge Fora
kcr. instead Of finding fault with the
present administration, should be de-
tending the memory OF Rutherford 3.
Hayes and the Legislature which robbed
Cincinnati Of local selfgovernment.
Governor Hoadly defined himself as
against prohibition, and said he did not
believe regulation and taxation were
eternal. Taxation was odiOus to him.
