Tie Ohio Democrats.

Without unanimity, and without har-
InOny even a. To the platform Governor
Campbell, of ohio, has been renominated
HIS party places him before the people,
regardless Of the strong objection to his
personal conduct in executive office, and
OF the strenuous antagonism among men,
beers of his own party. 1t dominates him
on platform, also, which embraces free
coinage OF silver, and uncompromising op-
position TO the Protective policy A mi
nority report was submitted to the con-
Yentlon on the silver question, but was
voted down. The majority resolved in
favor of a graduated income tax while
the minority proposed to strike this from
the platform. The radical difference be-
tween the two elements was substantially
that which lies between the conservative
ard rlGht-thinking people of all parties
and the soCialistic and revolutionary ele-
ment which the Farmers Alliance at the
West represents
Whether Governor Campbell has special
views ON these questions does not vet ap-
pear. His speech in accepting the nomi-
nation is mainly devoted to the question
OF the tariff, and expresses in strong terms
hostility to the recent revision of the tariff
by the Congress of which Mr. Mckinley
was the leader. Apparently it seems 10
er than any other can be put before the
people OF OHIO with prospect of success.
He object. to the new tariff because in
his own language, lit has forced the farm
er OF ONO to sell his wool in some in-
stances as low as 20 cents pound and
that, too, in a market where he paws more
dearly for hundreds of necessary arti-
clee' but he is careful not to say that no
'1r'ner OF ONO receives 20 cents per pound
"r anything ike that price for his wool
who has any reasonably marketable wool
for sale and he is careful also to ignore the
fact that of hundreds of articles purchas-
ed by farmers not One-tenth nor even one
hundredth are higher in cost than they
were before the new tariff was adopted.
The character Of the man nominated for
the highest office in the gift of the people
Of Ohio i well illustrated by this remark
able statement, which is at war with the
personal experience Of every householder
AMI every practical business man in that
State
Governor Campbell supposes that he
makes strong point for his party when
ar shows thai the average Of duties under
iar present tariff i much higher than the
average Of duties under tariffs approved
hy a>hington and his immediate success
