Special Dispatch TO THE EVENING STAR
TOLEDO, August 1S-The democratic state
convention has attracted . large number Of
the faithful not delega es. There a very
bitter contest In the mmittee on resolutions,
lasting until 4:3o this moruing. when All ad-
journment took place. The stumbling block
appears TO be the tariff plank, the more far-see.
reform the Chicago plank on this question.
There s manifestly = growing sentiment
against making an attack upon the liquor
traffic, and IL 10 not likely that the Dow liquor
tax law will be directly attacked. Judge Tho
deavor 10 incorporate piauk in the platform

tion to the people. This morning there is ST rong

CONVENTION HALL, TOLEDO, August 49,
The magnificent memorial building, In which
the convention is being held taken in connection
with the accommodations afforded i'm the COM
modious Military hall. does great credit to the
enterprise OF Toledo. The delegations were very
slow la assembling, and IL WAS nearly noon
before the exercises were opened by Hon.
Thomas Cogau, chairman OF the state commit
tee, who briefly called the convention to order
and announced the permanent chairman, Hon.
E. Il. FinIay.
GEN. FINLAY'S ADDRESS
Gen. Finlay proceeded to address the con-
vention. His speech was fully prepared aud
was substantially the same the one de-
livered at Columbus last year. He stated that
victory was In the air, tnat the executive
branch OF the government Was i'm The hands of
the democracy and that that party had come
~ stay. He referred TO The reduction o. the
puDlic debt, the reduction of the expenses OF
the government and the increase of pensions TO
disabled soldiers. Referring to President
Cleveland he described him a second WASH
ington in purity of character, wise Jeffer-
sou, and brave as jackson himself. Gen.
Finiay then proceeded to review the
contest in the legislature and passed
over the desertion OF the democratic members
quickly possibie. His denunciation of the
republican members AS we'll the supreme
court, WAS something unusual even in an Ohio
convention.
THE PLATFORM.
The committee on resolutions then submitted
its report, congratufating the country and cor
daily endorsing the administration of Presi-
dent Cleveland In every particular. This
declaration brought forth applause lasting sew
eral minutes. Regret was expressed at the
death OF Samuel J. Tilden, General Hancock,
General Mcclellan. General Durbin Ward and
Others. The platform demands q thorough
and complete revision OF the tariff and the
reduction OF taxation, the protection Of
American c,izens in foreign countries, etc.
