Committee.
Each plank Of the platform was louIly
applauded.
Nominations were then in order for
State Senator. In splendid effort Hon.
IL, w. McCaughey of Massillon nominated
Anthony howells of Masslllon. The nom.
mating speech was frt quently interrupted
by manifestations of approval from the
delegates,
Hon. John c. welty, in a few well
chosen remarks, seconded the nomination
OF Senator HoweIls. he referred to the
fact that Senator Howells la5ored against
Governor CampbelPs nomination, but
stated that he was man who fights the
battle before the convention.
j. ii. Reigncr referred to the excellent
campaign characteristics which Senator
HoWells possesses, having carried the
counties in the district by remarkable
maJorities. In conclusion Mr.. Reigner
moved that Senator Howells be nomin-
ated by acclanation, This was carried
with only one dissenting vote, that of
George K. Buchanan, of Canton. Senator
ho%eIls was. escorted to the platform,
where he delivered mastery speech of
acceptance. He pledged his support
or the entire ticket and stated
that he would labor assiduously for the
success OF Democracy. He referred to the
actions OF the legislature under Demo-
cratic rule, and stated that he had been
proud to be member of the Senate at
tnat time. he was convinced that thou
sands OF Republicans are satisfied with
the last General Assembly and would
show 1t by their votes. Senator Howells
then referred to Mckinley and did not
believe that he would ever put himself in
the position he has on the silver question.
Mr.. Howells here mentioned Grover
Cleveland and was interrupted by ap-
plause. Continuing he said that Camp
BELLS speech at Sydney was the greatest
that had been delivered in Ohio for many
years. He called upon the Democrats to
hold Major Mckinley TO the tariff ques-
ton and the robbery would end. "If Nc
Kinley is defeated,n said the Senator,
"Reciprocity will be the platform of the
Republicans next year." Mckinley, he
thought, was great man to make prom
ises, but they seldom materialized. At
the conclusion of the address the conven-
ton adjourned well satisfied with the
work of the day.
just prior to adjournment Hon. John G.
Warwick was called upon and talked of
the outlook In very encouraging man
ner. His remarks were received with en-
