S ANGELES HEKALD: i
nation Neal, at the conclusion of which
the convention went wild.
S. ID. Dodge, of Cleveland, nominated
Virgil P. Kline, of Cuyahoga.
Michael Ryan, Of Cincinnati, nomi-
mated Governor Campbell.
RYAN's NOMINATING SPEECH.
General Ryan, of Cincinnati, said
81 am sent here by large body of
Democrats from Hamilton county to say
to this convention that they are in har-
monv, heart and soul, with the general
feeling of the Democracy throughout
! the state; that the wise, proper and
patriotic thing for this convention to do
| is to renominate our present worthy and
Campbell. Prolonged applause.]
| Two years ago a great Republican
dictator was in the full tide of his power
and glory in this state. Surrounded by
his cohorts-an army of Office holders OF
his own making-and backed by the
strength and wealth of the national Re-
publican machine, it did indeed seem
vain attempt to seek to defeat Foraker,
but nevertheless we put up Campbell
against him, and banged-up editor
and a patent ballot box are all that is
| left to commemorate the memory of the
once mighty Foraker. [Laughter.]
| By the nomination OF Mckinley the
Republicans have made the tariff the
| issue in our state election. 1t is des-
perate attempt on their part to commit
Ohio to McKinleyism in the presidential
contest. They fear the verdict of the
states next year. They dread the recur-
renee of last years defeat. Therefore
they will have recourse to the most des-
perate means to attain their ends.
We accept the gauge of battle thrown
down to us. Gladly, cheerfully, will
ingly will we fight them on the lines they
have marked out, for it will be the most
astounding occurrence OF the century
if the progressive, intelligent, enter
prising people of Ohio do not put the
seal of their condemnation on class leg
islation, high tariff robbery and McKin-
ley in the coming election. But
what we are most interested
in this year is good govern
ment for our state. Therefore we want
James E. Campbell for governor.
TCheers.] His nomination here today
will be ratified by the people in Novem-
ber. His nomination by this convention
will be an indorsementOf OF all that is hon
orable, decent and dignified in our poll
tics. 1t is our duty to say to him: We'll
done, thou good and faithful servant !;
because thou bast been true and loyal
to every trust reposed in thee, we invite
thee again to enter into the service of
the people,
CAMPBELL NOMINATED.
The first ballot for governor, resulted: !:
Campbell, sos 7-16; Neal, 1874 GIG;
Kline, 56; johnson, l.
Wild scenes of enthusiasm followed
the announcement of the ballot, the
band in the gallery striking up The
Campbells are Coming.
THE NOMINATION DECLARED UNANIMOUS.
Dodge, leader of the Kline men,
moved to make the enomination of Camp
bell unanimous. The motion was
quickly put and declared carried, the
Neal men failing to demand the ayes
and nves. The Hamilton county men
voted no in chorus, however, and as ii
to emphasize their opposition repeated
"No! mol" for half minute. Following
the announcement that the motion had

MARQUIS FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
A committee was appointed to escort
Campbell to the chair. While the COM
mittee was out, nominations for lieuten-
ant governor were declared in order
For this office w. V. Marquis, the in
cumbent, was renominated by acclama-
ton.
CAMPBELL's ACCEPTANCE.
At this juncture the committee re-
turned with Governor Campbell, and as
the familiar face of the governor was
discovered, another outburst OF enthusi-
asm marked the proceedings.
"I introduce your present and future
governor" said the chairman briefly,
and Governor Campbell stepped to the
front and made the following speech:
"While gratefully accepting a second
nomination from the Democratic party
of Ohio, my thoughts naturally revert
to the record and achievements of that
party since the memorable Dayton con-
vention. The electors of Ohio have
other reasons for voting with us this
year besides such as solely affect this
state. The battle before us is essentially
national one, because the Republicans
of Ohio have identified themselves with
every phase of the iniquitous legislation
accomplished or attempted by the Fifty.
first congress. The Republican party of
Ohio appears as defender of that arbi
trary disregard of minority rights which
disgraced the last house of representa-
tives. 1t upholds the fraudulent unseat
ing of lawfully elected members; the
steal of Montana by the senate, and all
the other high-handed outrages by
which that party sought to perpetuate
its power against the wishes of the peo-
pie. 1t represents the reckless extrava-
dissipated the splendid Democratic sur
