Half-past ten was the hour named in
the official call for the gathering to be
called to order, but as early as the
crowd outside of the structure made the
thoroughfare impossible and when the
doors were thrown open it was but
few minutes before every one of the
5000 seats had it's occupant AS pre-
lude to the proceedings the bands in the
balcony rendered medley of national
airs and after State Chairman Norton
had called the gathering to order, the
blessing OF the Creator was invoked by
Rev. DR.. T. w. Campbell. After the
prayer the convention was entertained
with a song of welcome by the Thur
man quartette, of Columbus. Chairman
Norton then made welcome to the dele
gates in rousing speech. AS Norton
concluded with a touching eulogy of
Allen &. Thurman the delegates and
spectators broke into applause, and when
Allen w. Thurman was introduced as
the temporary presiding officer and the
son of Ohio's "Old Roman" appeared
before the footlights the enthusiasm
was intensified ten-fold. His address
was punctuated with cheers of ap-

nent organization came a report sub
mitting the name of ex-Congressman
Frank lie Blond, of Mercer as perma-
nent presiding officer. 1t was adopted.
LIE Blond spoke briefly.
Under the new state election law it is
necessary that each party shall select a
device to be placed upon its printing,
and Maj. w. w. Armstrong proposed
that the democracy should adopt a
rooster. Armstrong; resolution was
adopted. The committee on credentials
then made a report recommending that

This threw the convention into an up
roar L. ]. Cogan, of Cincinnati, one
of the secretaries of the body, took the
platform. When Cogan attempted to
speak he was greeted with cat calls,
howls and misses, which for a few mo.
ments drowned his voice. He made
a good argument in support of the ma.
jority report, which was then adopted.
The report of the committee on reso-
lutions was presented by Gen. Z. b.
Finley, who lamented the fact that al
though the majority had labored with
the minority in and out of season they
had not been able to get a unanimity of
sentiment on the silver question. AL
the planks were greeted with applause
and especially that referring to the ad,
ministration of Gov. Campbell. A mi
nority report was presented, but the
majority report was finally adopted
Following is the platform:
We most heartily indorse the honesty ant
economy OF the administration of Gov James
Il, Campbell, and commend the Sixty nintl
general assembly for It's business qualifications
economy and reform, and especially for having
provided for secret ballot, by which every
voter in Ohio can cast his ballot in secret as hG
desires and have his vote counted as cast; ant
we invite attention TO the fact that the republi
can party, through hypocritically protesting u
favor "a free ballot and fair count" yet op
posed and voted against the bill for providing
for free and secret ballot, thus demonstrating
its professions TO be insincere and for pOlitica
effect only: and we cordially indorse and ap
prove the act OF the Legislature regulating thu
compensation OF county officers by providing
for fixed salary.
We are opposed TO all class legislation and be
lieVe in q tariff levied for the sole purpose o
producing revenue SUFFICIENT TO defray thu
legitimate expenses OF the government, eco
nomically administered. We accept the issu
rendered TO us by the republican party on the
subject OF the tarln, as Represented by the SO
called Mckinley tariff act, confident that tn
yeftiict of the people Of Ohio will be recordeI
against the iniquitous policy OF so called pre-
tection championed by the republican party Il
the interest OF favored classes against tn
masses.
We favor graded income tax
