Frank German of Cincinnati, which gives
tine following as substitute for the silver
plank:
We believe in honest money. the coinage of
gold ana silver. and circulating medium con-
yertible into such money without loss, and we
oppose all legislation which tends TO dive either
go'd or silver out OF circulation; and we believe
In maintaining the coinage Of both metals on a
parity.
1t also recommends that the resolution de-
ciaring for graduated income tax be
stricken out of the platform.
The discussion of the platform brought
forth some lively debate, German. for the
minority. urging that the Democratic party
could not afford to put itself forward upon
any platform that advocates anything but
honest money. The minority believed the
Diemocratlc party can. win on the tariff
issue, and that it Is not in the province of a
Democratic Convention to take up the fight
OF the Republican Senators of Montana.
Nevada and Colorado--a fight of million
aires.
General Finley of the majority argued in
favor Of his report, saying that the DEM
oerats must meet this issue, and that the
time and place to meet it is in this conven-
ton.

noes to 300A ayes; and the programme as
reported by tile majority OF the committee
was adopted.

When the result was finally announced,

enthusiasm of the day. While the delegates
cheered and waved their handkerchiefs and
tossed their hats, the band in the gallery
struck up "Tte Campbells Are Coming"
There was dissent only from the Hamilton

the Governor was dlScerned In the room,
another outburst of enthusiasm marked the
proceedings. "1introduce your present and
future Governor" said the Chairman briefly,
aad Governor Campbell stepped to the front
aai spoke as follows:
While gratefully accepting the second nomIna-
ton from The Democratic party of Ohio my
thoughts naturally revert to the record aud
achievements OF that party since the memorable
Dayton convention. The electors OF Ohio have
0!her reasons for voting with US this year beside

TARIFF DENOUNCED.
Pre-eminenly, also. does the Republican
leader in 0uiO stand for that pernlciOus tariff
measure which was defeated at The polls last
year by the people of the entire country. The
measure was designed as has been well said, in
tile interest OF mOnOpoly, by monopoly for mo-
ropoly, measure which Is bringing about the
worst of all centralzations the GENERALIZATION OF
wealth, with Its debasing and destructive Ie-
suits; measure which already In many cases
has made less work and lower wages for pro-
ductive labor; measure which has forced the
farmer OF OHIO TO sell his wool In some instances
as low az 20 cents per pound, and thar, too, in q
market where he pays more dearly for hundreds

Imported from Wales measure which. as it
comes from the hands OF the author. did not. IN
the opinion OF an eminent Republican, open the
market for another pound OF pork or another
barrel of flour; measure that could not be
forced down the throat of a reluctant Senate
until sugar coated withlthe old Democratic doc
tIine OF reciprocity.
