OIL the position occupied by the republi-

main silent. lApplause.l To have done
so would have been to act the coward,
and tho American people have no use
for a coward. LApplause.l We must
meet the issue, and the time and place
to do SO is in this convention. A dis
tinguished democrat said. He who
hesltates Is bastard and he who doubts

which no democrat should object"
On the roll of counties the minority
report was rejected by a vote of 300t
yeas to 1891 nays. The platform as re-
ported by the majority of the committee
was then adopted b. acclamation.
The nomination of governor was next
in order, and ex-Congressman Follet, of
Cincinnati, placed in nomination Law
renee E. Neal of Ross county.
S. ID. Dodge of Cleveland nominated d
Virgil p. Kline of Cuyahoga county.
There was one wild enthusiastic cheer
when Michsel Ryan of Cincinnati arose
to nominate Campbell. Hats were
flung in the air, handkerchiefs waved
and umbrellas swung to the wild ac-
claim OF thousands. His speech in max
ing III" uNmiratiOn was eloquent and
lmpaSoi, HcI all T&s VH1c.uatel with
frequent applause.
The ballOting began without more
ado, Campbell leading his competitors
from the first. When the result was
finally announced showing Campbells

the wild scenes Of enthusiasm and the
band struck up 1.-THE Campbells

announcement of the result of the vote.
Governor Campbell was then intro
duced to the convention and addressed it.
After deyOting some time to state
issues Governor Campbell said,
1.-The electors of Ohio have other reasons for
voting with us this year besides such as solely
affect this stale The battle before US is "a ma
tional one. Not only is this true because the
result must seriously affect next years federal
elections. but also because the republicans of
Ohio have unreservedly identified themselves
with every phrase of the iniquitouS legislation
accomplished or attempted by the fifty-first
congress. In their platform they have reaf-
firmed their adhcNcnce to the infamous force
bfll-the republican lost cause-a measure
obviously DESIGNED to deS roy elections that
republican senators, unwilling to violate their
cOnscienCeS and their olthS refused to inflict il
upon the country. The republican pIrty of
Ohio appears the defender of the arbitrary
disregard of minority rights which disgraced the
last house of representatives.. 1t uphOldS the
