I'VE are opposed to all class Legislation
and believe In a tariff levied for the sole
purpose OF producing a revenue sufficient
to defray the legitimate expenses OF Inc
government economically administered.
I'VE accept the Issue rendered to US by
the Republican party on the subject OF the
tariff, as represented DO the so-called Nc
kinley tariff act, confident that the verdict
OF the people of Ohio will be recorded
against the iniquitous policy of So called
protection, championed by the Republican
party In the interest of the favored classes
against the masses.
I'VE favor graded income tax
I'VE denounce the characterization OF sill
yer in 1873 by the party then in power as
an iniquitous alteration OF the money
standard in favor of creditors and against
debtors, taxpayers and producers, and
which by shutting of one source OF supply
OF primary money operates continually tc
increase the value of gold, depress prices
hamper industry and disparage enterprise
and we demand the reinstatement OF the
constitutional standard of both gold and
silver, with equal rights, each TO free and
unlimited coinage.
"We denounce the Republican billion dol
Lar Congress, which by extravagant expen.
dlture exhausted the surplus in the national
treasury left there by the Democratic al
ministration and created deficit; which
substituted despotic rules for free discus
sion in the House of RepreseD tatives; and
we congratulate the people on the defeat
of the odious force bill demanded by the
Republican President and championed by
tue Republican party for the purpose OF
perpetuating its rule by perverting the con-
stitutional powers of the government, des-
troying free elections and placing the bal

I'VE favor liberal and just pensions to
deserving and disabled soldiers and sailors

1.-The prosecution of the Jewish people
by the Russian government justly deserves
our unqualified censure. We believe this
government. in connection with the en-
governments of Europe disposed
TO unite with US, should take proper steps
to alleviate those wrongs"
The minority report was then presented
by Frank German, of Cincinnati.
The minority report gives the following
as a substitute for the silver plank in the
platform: 1--WE believe in honest money,
the coinage OF gold and silver and a circu-
lating medium convertible into such money
without loss; and we oppose all legislation
which tends to drive either gold or silver
out of circulation, and we believe in main
tanning the coinage of both metals On 9
parity"
salt also recommends the resolution declar.
ing for graduated income tax be stricken
out of the platform
Discussion of the platform brought forth
some lively debate. German, for The mi
nority, urging that the Democratic party
could not afford TO put itself on any plat
form that advocates anything but homes,
money. The minority believed the Demo
crauc party could win On the tariff, and
that it is not in the province of the Demo
cratic convention TO take up the fight OF
the Republican Senators of Montana, Ne
yada and Colorado, the fight of million
aires.
General Finely, of tie majority, argued
in favor OF MS report, saying the Demo

longed applause. Two years ago the
great Republican dictator in the full tide
of his power and glory in this state was
surrounded by his cohorts, an army of
office holders of his own making, and
backed up by the strength and wealth of
national Republican machine. Ii did in
deed seem a vain attempt TO seek to defeat
Foraker, but nevertheless we put up
Campbell against him, and a banged up
editor and patent ballot box was all that
was left to commemorate the memory of
the once mighty Foraker. Laughter.
''By the nomination of Mckinley the
Republicans made the tariff the issue in
our state in this election. 1t is q desperate
attempt on their part to commit Ohio to

They fear the verdict of the state next
years defeat Therefore they will have
recourse to the most desperate means to
attain their ends.
''We accept the gage eff battle thrown to
Us. Gladly, cheerfully, willingly will we
fight them on the lines they marked out;
for it will be the most astounding occur

year is good government for our state.
Therefore we want James Z. Campbell.
Cheers. His nomination here to day will

His nomination by this convention will be
an endorsement of all that is honorable,
decent and dignified in our politics. 1t is
our duty to say to him, "Well done, thou
good and faithful servant, because thou
hast been true ana loyal to every trust re-
posed in thee, and we invite thee TO again

On the first ballot taken it resulted as

Kline, Sc: Johnson, /. When the result
was finally announced showing Campbell's
nomination, there was another repetition
of the wild scenes or enthusiasm of the
day While the delegates cheered and
waved their handkerchiefs and tossed their
hats, the!band struck up the"Campbells are
Coming" There was dissent only from
the Hamilton county delegation. while
the others were cheering the Cincinnatians
and refused to be quoted.
Dodge, the leader of the KLINE men,
moved to make the nomination of Camp

put and declared carried, the Neal men
