CLEvELAND, July 15.-James E. Camp
bell is renominated by the Democrats OF
Ohio for governor, and the anxiety of
the party leaders is now directed to the
absorbing query VIII Hamilton county
support the ticket? If the Cincinnati
delegates in their manifestations OF re-
Ientless opposition and hostility today
truly represented the feelings OF their
people, then the conclusion is irresis-
tible that considerable portion OF the
Democrats of Hamilton county will not
support Governor Campbell in the No
yember election. 1t is almost pro-
verbal in the Fuckeye state that las
Hamilton county goes in the autumn
elections, go goes the state OF Ohio"
If this is accepted as the infallible rule,
the importance of harmonizing the dis
cordant elements in Hamilton county
may we'll merit the anxiety Of the Dem
ocratic leaders.
THE CONVENTION OPENS.
One of the largest and at the same
time most inharmonious conventions
eyer held in the history of the Ohio
Democracv met in this city this morn
ing. The denomination of Governor
Campbell had been conceded by his op-
ponents since last evening, but the
sturdy determination to refuse, after the
formal result should be announced, the
time-honored courtesy of unanimous
nomination, wrought dismay in the
hearts of all those who declare that in
united and harmonious Democracy rests
the only hope of victory in the coming
campaign.
The vast music hall in which the con-
yention is held was packed to its utmost
capacity long before the hour OF meeting
arrived. Promptly at 1880 Chairman
Norton, of the state central committee,
called the convention to order and Rev.
J. w. Campbell invoked the divine
blessing upon the convention.
Chairman Norton then formally
opened the convention in a briet but
stirring address. He denounced the
Republican party and the Mckinley
tariff bill in the usual terms, and as
serted that everything good under the
constitution was the inspiration OF the
Democratic party. He closed with
eulogy of Hon. A. G. Thurman. and in
troduced his son, Allen w. Thurman, as
temporary chairman. Thurman then
stepped forward and addressed the con-
yention.
CHAIRMAN THURMAN's SPEECH.
&C., ropnorRa he
launched forth with denunciation OF
the Republican party and it's methods.
He paid particular attention to the acts
OF the last congress, which he denounced
for the enactment of the Mckinley tariff
bill and the subsidy bill, and its efforts
to pass the force bill.
Continuing he said: "The time is
here when the people will express their
belief in complete and not restricted
reciprocity; when they will no longer
sustain any party which levies and col
lects one dollar taxes over and above
that which is required to wisely and
economically administer the affairs OF
government; when they will give due
notice to infant industries that have
been nursed for hundred years that
they have arrived at the age when
they must. take care of themselves;
when they will band the protective
tariff as stealing, its advocates as beg
gars, and demand that we must have
tariff for revenue only. most earnestly
beeeech the farmers, whose interests are
identically the same as my own, not to
follow the course of wild schemes OF the
government loaning money upon ware
house certificates or on lands, the taxing
possession of railways and telegraphs by
the government, the internal improve
ments that are demanded, and dozen
other minor issues, that all lead not
only to greater taxation but to the
rankest kind of socialism. say to
them, put them all to one side and stick
to the tariff issue until you get what is
due you."
In closing Thurman characterized the
Mckinley law as class legislation OF most
vicious tendencies. As an illustration
he instanced tin, which for fifteen years
had been protected by 26 per cent. duty.
THE PERMANENT CHAIRMAN.
The committee on permanent organi-
xation reported ex-Congressman Le-
blond selected as permanent chair
man of the convention. A committee
escorted Leblond to the chair. Chair
man Leblond's speech was brief and to
the point. He thanked the convention
for the honor conferred upon him, and
then proceeded to denounce the last Re-
publican congress for it's bad legislation
and its attempt to pass the force bill.
A DEMOCRATIC EMBLEM.
General Armstrong Of Cleveland
moved that the convention adopt the
picture of victorious rooster as de-
vice to designate the Democratic ticket,
the recent ballot reform law requiring
the selection OF some device. The mo-
tion was adopted by reclamation.
THE TROUBLE BEGINS.
The first contest in the convention
arose over the report Of the committee
on credentials. The dispute was in the
Twenty-fifth ward, Cincinnati, and the
Hamilton county delegates appeared not
TO fully understand the points in dispute
and T. j. Coogan, secretary of the con-
vention, started to make an explana-
tion.
ssSit down. You are not dele
gste l" shouted dozen Hamilton county
men.
ssThe chair decides that the Sec
retary, as an officer of the convention,
u entitled to be heard" said the chair
man.
