The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1888-05-19

which he was frequently interrupt
ed by cheers.
The Committee on Credentials
reported full representation and
no contests, Adopted.
The Committee on rules and or
der of business made report, Adopt
ed.
Committee on Resolutions pre-
sented their report in the excellent
platform published elsewhere in
this paper.
The report of the Committee on
Resolutions came last, and was
read by Hon. John A. Mcmahon, its
Chairman. The reading of the re-
port opened with a dramatic and
long-to- aforementioned scene. An
immense shield hung over the cen
ter front of the stage, on WHICH was
inscribed: ga public Office is a pub
lie trust. AS Mr.. Mcmahon uttered
the words. "We indorse without
qualification the Administration of
President Cleveland" the shield
opened mechanically and disclosed
crayon portrait of the President.
At the sight of this the convention
rose to it's feet and cheered long
and loud and repeatedly. No sooner
would one chorus of cheers die
away than another, like some huge
wave of the ocean, would come
swelling up and hats and handker-
chiefs filed the air. The ladies in
the two balconies caught the in
spiration, and waved their daintily-
embroidered handkerchiefs and the
bannerets with which the balconies
were decorated.
1t was almost five minutes before
the cheering and hand-clapping
subsidized sufficiently to enable the
Chairman of the committee to pro-
ceed. Each resolution was greeted
with a hearty burst OF applause, and
then as a whole the platform was
adopted with storm of "ayes."
Nominations being in order, the
name of Boston G. Young of Marion
County was presented for Secretary
of the State, and OH motion the
rules were suspended and his nomi-
nation was made by acclamation.
The name of Lyman r. Critch
field, of Holms CO., was presented
for Supreme Judge, and on motion
the rules were suspended and his
nomination was made by acclama-
tion also.
The same thing occurred with
reference to the Hon. James EN-
mitt of Pike Co for member of
Board of Public Works.
The Next work of the convention
was the selection of four delegates
and four alternates to the National
Convention, and for delegates the
following were nominated Viz: Leo,
Ebbert, of Lawrence; Thomas T..
Powell, of Delaware; Charles W.
Baker, of Hamilton; l.. E. Holden,
of Cuyahoga; Frank III. Hurd, of
Lucas, Gen. E. b. Finley, of Craw-
ford; M. ID. Harter, of Richland;
w. w. Ellsberry, of Brown; and
Calvin S. Brice, of Allen.
The first ballot resulted in the
choice of Thos. Il. Powell, Charles
w. Baker, l.. E. Holden, and G. S.
Brice as Delegates.
The next in order was the select
ion of four alternate delegates at
large. Hon. j. l.. Vance moved
that the four gentlemen receiving
the highest number of votes after
the delegates elected be declared
alternates. There was some slight
dissent, but this was almost inn
mediately withdrawn, and the mo-
tion was adopted, and Hon. Frank
II. Hurd, Hon. M. d. Harter, Hon.
Leo. Ebbert and General e. b. Fin
ley were declared elected.
The convention then by acclama-
tign nominated Hon, VIM. ID. Hill,

berry, of Brown, for Electors at
large.
This having completed the work
of the convention it adjourned, af-
