THE TICKET AND PLATFORM.

The Democratic State Conven-
lion was unusually large this
year, and the Daytonians outdid
themselves in extending The right
hand OF fellowship. Conrtesles
we're iayishly bestowed every
where upon the delegates. The
leaders from all parts of the State
were present, and not q dissenier
from the administration was seen
in the vast throng. 1t was an
immense gathering of the De-
mocracy and at the mention of
President CleveIand's name the
assemblage would go wild. The
prelimInaries occurred on Tues
day and the ballotIng on Wednes
day. We place the ticket noml-
mated at the head OF our editorial
columns.
The administration of Presi-
dent Cleveland was heartily en-
dorsed.
