Goyernorship- Convention Notes.

Co1uNpus, o., August 1o.-The weather
is cool and pleasant for the gathering Of
the Buckeye Democracy, and this alter
noon nearly all the delegates to the State
Convention have arrived, and the usual
preliminary racket was commenced. The
convention proper will not be formally
opened until tomorrow morning at 10
O'Clock, although the district delegations
meet tonight Many states are already
in the field, but as general thing Hcadly
seems to be a strong fayorite, and be will
probably be re.nominated by acclamation.
However, there appears to be some dis
satisfaction among the Hamilton county
delegates, and Lucas county, headed by
Frank -Hutd, quite pronounced against
him. But, as ali the othern counties in
Northern Ohio and the Western Reserve
are solid for Hoadly, the greattree traders
tight will have no effect, Itisnow,thought
BY the old party leaders that nothing can
prevent his renomination, except the
spriupipg OF Allen G. Thurman. Yet
this Is not probable, as the es0ld Roman
has emphatically refused to allow his
name to be presented in the convention,
and says he would not accept the Office OF
Governor, or any other Office, II rendered
him.
Indications point to q short and quiet
convention, which Is something very lnu-
suat for the Democracy o., Ohio, and the
only trouble arises as to who shall get the
short term on the Supreme bench, and for
which there are several applicants, as the
nominee will be appointed Immediately
by Governor Hoadly 10 I'll the vacancy!
at present George b, 0key has many
friends who wish to see him his fathers
successor, and he may secure the nomi-
nation. 81
II looks as though the Governor, Lieu
tenant Governor and Treasurer will re-
ceiye denomination, for to the present
incumbents there is no! marked opposi-
tion; and yet George i. Converse has
quite following for second place
on the ticket. Central Ohio lis
well nnited on Charles H. Martin
for Supreme Judge for the long
terms, and are making great effort to
secure him the position. In nconyersattoni
with many OF The delegates to-day, all
think that the old ticket will undoubtedly
be nominated, bat Attorney General
Lawrence says he cannot sceepta renomi-
nation, and go another man must be
found.
b The platform was framed tonight, and
feebly endor Cieveland's administra-
tion, declares against sulnptuary legis-
lation and In favor OF license
for the liquor traffic, with q few
words for the South, and reso-
luton Of sorrow for General Granite
death. When the temperance clause Of
the platform Is reached there Is likely to
be a little struggle, for there seems to be
growing feeling that Ohio Democrats
should oppose prohibition, but It is be.
|lieved a license plank will be adopted.
The Committee on Permanent 0rgani-
cation, which met after the district dele.
CATION meeting tonight, selected Hon.
John Follett, Of Cincinnati, for Permanent
Chairman OF the convention, and Hon:
George Hull, Of Lima, Permanent secre-
tary. z. @ j;
for Permanent Chairman, but was collared
for free trade ideas. What Is known as
the "Kidn Democracy captured every.
thing in the District meetings, also In the
permanent organization, Committee on
Resolutions aud state Central Committee
by more than two 10 one.
