HON. GEORGE Il. HoADLY.
Judge Hoadly was born in New Haven,
Conn, July 81. 1926. and comes from q
family noted for their learning and ability.
He completed his education at Western Re-
serve college, Hudson, o.; studied law un-
der Judge Story, az Cambridge; finished
with Salmon P. Chase, in 1s47, in Cincin-
natl He was appointed judge of the super
ior court in 1851, elected city solicitor in
1855, superior judge again in 1859, and again
in 1867. He was a delegate 70 the constitu-
tionaI convention in 1873. Since that time
be hes held no political Office till elected
governor in 1888.
Originally he was democrat, but was a
republican during the war and up to 1872,
when he again became a liberal free-trade
democrat. He achieved national prominence
by his celebrated letters to Tilden in 1876 in
favor of the claims of Cronin, the Oregon
elector. This led to Hoadly's employment
as counsel to argue the Cronin case before
the electoral commission.
The governor said he lodged no issues,
and there was not a fence in Ohio which he
would straddle. He was against prohibition
and everyone knew it. He asserted that he
was for American liberty irrespective of
color. He voted for Grover Cleveland and
thanked God for it He was and would con-
tinue to be loyal to Mr. Cleveland's Admin
istratiou.
Charles d. Fairfield was nominated for
supreme judge for the long term on the first
ballot.
John G.. Warwick was renominated for
lieutenant governor by acclamation-
JOHN @. WARWICK
John G. Warwick, Of Starke county has
again been selected as Hoadly's second If
Irish nominations will hold the Irish vote
for the party which nominates them, then
surely the republicans need hope for no as
sistance from the brave boys of Erin's Isle
this year, since two ''sons of the so1n ara
given prominent nominations on the Demo
cratin ticket in the persons of Brady and
Warwick. Nearly forty years age he landed
in this country from Ireland. He chose the
valley of the Tuscarawas as his home and
worked in the mines. He saved his small
earnings and invested them where they
would do him the most good.
He is now millionaire, owning extensive
mines in the Tuscarawas valley, and besides,
has a large interest in the factories of Mas
silIon. Hundreds of men find employment
in his mines and shops. He hal never held
Office previous to his election in 1888. He
was given the place to weaken the republi-
cans on the Reserve and hold in line the min
ing and manufacturing interests of the
stale.
Governor Warwick is a large man, of com
manding presence, wearing a very pro-
nounced Irish countenance, beaming with
good nature and good living. He has made
a dignif fed presiding officer, winning the es
TEEN and confidence of both parties by his
impartial rulings. He is not politician,
and has not the elements that go to make
the offensive partisan He is mossbacB
and has no sympathy with the Paynes and
Mclean, who endeavored to force him of
the track in favor of Converse.
The Platform.
COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 21.-The following Is
the platform adopted: .sThe Democracy of
Ohio in convention assembled congratulate
the country upon the election and inaugura-
ton of the Democratic candidates for presi-
dent and vice president of the United States
These fortunate events and the wise admin
istration that has followed have already dis
PEELED the illusion that Democratic success
is inconsistent with the business interests of
the country or perilous to the rights of the
,a val of an
the increase in the value of property already
begun demonstrate the benefcence of Demo-
cratic principles even before any session of
congress has enabled the country TO realize
the full fruition Of their application by leg
islation.
Second, We congratulate President
Cleveland aud his cabinet upon the auspic-
GUS beginning they have made in the neces-
sary reforms of the government, and heartily
endorse their administration.
Third, We approve the measures taken
by a Democratic congress for preventing the
occupation of unearned lands by railroad
companies, and by Democratic president
in firmly holding public lands for public uses,
and in preventing their unlawful occupa-
ton.
"Fourth, We reaffirm the platform of
principles adopted by the National Demo-
cratic convention held at Chicago in 1884.
''Fifth- We commend the administration
Of Governor Hoadly and the works of the
Sixty-sixth general assembly as wise, honest
and economical
sixth, We especially commend the fidel-
ity of the democratic members of the Sixty
sixth general assembly TO the pledge of the
party in favor of licensing the traffic il in
/ toxicating liquors, and we denounce the
| fraud and hypocrisy of the republicans in
| defeating this wise measure of reform.
Every democrat in both branches of the gen.
eral assembly voted to submit for popular
adoption a constitutional amendment pro-
viding for license.
"Enough republicans protesting to be in
| its favor were present in the house of repre-
sentatives to have given it the three-ffths
| vote necessary for its success, but refused tc
vote for the avowed and only reason that il
was proposed by a democrat. Upon the re-
publican party whose caucus dictated this
course lies the reproaeh of the postponement
and temporary defeat Of this most wise and
salutary plan for the regulation of the liquor
traffic
Seventh, The Democratic party is as il
| always has been, opposed to sumptuary leg
islation and unequal taxation in any form
sAsd is in favor of the largest liberty of pri-
vats conduct consistent with the public wei
fare a1d the rights of others and of regulat
ing the liquor traffic and providing agains
the evils resulting therefrom, by judiciou
and properly graded license system. Under
the present constitution of Ohio such system
is forbidden and taxation is limited to pr op
erty and required to be measured by it
money value. We therefore ara in favor o.
a constitutional amendment which shall per
INIT such sys tenn and we promise its submis
sion for adoption by the people il the neces
sary throe-fifths OF each branch of the nexi
general assembly ba composed of Democrats
