Adopted That Has the
True Ring.

harmonious, conventions ever as
sembled in the history of the Ohio
democracy met in this city at 1890
o'clock this morning. The renomina-
ton of Governor Campbell had been
conceded by his opponents since last
evening, but their sturdy determina-
ton to refuse, after the formal result
should be assured, the time honored
courtesy of unanimous nomination
wrought dismay in the hearts of all
those who declare that in united
and harmonious democracy rests the
only hope of victory in the coming
campaign. The vast Music Hall. in
which the convention was held, was
pacLed before the hour of meeting.
Promptly at 1O:40 o'clock Chairman
Norton of the state central committee
called the convention to order and de-
livered a brief speech. He closed with
eulogy of Hon. Allan 6. Thurman,
and introduced his sou, Allan w,
Thurman, as temporary chairman.

AS Mr.. Thurman stepped modestly
forward the vast audience burst into
cheers at sight of Ohio's distinguished
leader. He said:
I'm his speech nominating Mayor
Mckinley, Governor Foraker said that
even the
wILEs OF THE DEVIL
seemed unable to kill the Democratic
party, which undoubtedly meant that
it will never be destroyed by the Re
publican party. Evidently the fact
must have occurred to him that this
grand old Democratic party has seen
the birth, growth ana death of every
political organization that has ever
arisen in this country"
Mr.. Thurman Thanked the central
committee for the honor of being
made presiding officer of the conven-
ton representing such party. He
congratulated the State upon the
good work done by the general as
sembly. II believe" he said, there
is now but a few weeks off when they
will double seal the victory they won
last fall; when they will by their bal
lots most emphatically condemn the
industrial policy that is a continual
barrier to commercial prosperity;
when they will reject the party which,
through the last congress-, appro-
priated for governmental expenditures
the tremendous sum of one billion
dollars-an expenditure of seventeen
dollars for every man, woman and
child in the United States-a
sum, too, equal to one.third of
the national debt at the close of the
war and also equal to the whole net
debt of the United States at the pres
ent time, and sum which bids fair
| before the fiscal year ends to create a
deficit in the treasury. The party,
too, which by its reckless course has
made it
IMPOSSIBLE TO PAY
government bonds that fall due 10
September for should they be paid
there will not be money enough left to
pay the current expenses of the gov
eminent thirty days longer. A party,
| too, which raised the average rate OF
duties from AZ to 81 per cent; that
clothes the president of the United
States with unconstitutional power to
levy and take Off taxes that
right in the face of the decision OF the
supreme court, which said that such
taxation was robbery, which author
lied the secretary of the treasury to
pay direct bounty out of the moneys
collected from the people ostensibly to
few sugar planters in the South, but
in reality to the sugar trust. The
party that. by its pernicious class leg
islation, drives the American marine
from off the high seas and pretends
that it can he rehabilitated by direct
subsidies to steamship lines. In other
words, after destroying it by taxation,
they mean to restore it by greater tax
alton.
