sources OF supply Of primary money operates
continually TO increase the value OF gold, de-
press prices, hamper industry and dispnrage on-
terprise; and we demand che reinstatement OF
the constitutional standard OF both gold and
silver, with the equal rights OF each to free and
We denounce the republican billion dollar
congress which, by It's oxtravagant expondi-
lures exhausted surplus in the natiol al treas.
ury left there by democratic administration
and created n deficit; which substituted des-
potic rule for free discussion in the house OF
representatives; and we congratulate the peo-
Pile on the defeat OF tho odious force bill de-
manded by q republican president and cham
pioned by the republican party for the purpose
OF perpetuating its rule by perverting the consti
tutional powers OF the government destroying
free elections and placing the baflot.box in the
hands OF interruptions partisans IN order rs
vot ers, supervise the elections, count the bal
lots and declare the result"
We are opposed to the enactment OF oil laws
which unnecessarily interfere with the habits
and customs Of any Of our people which are not
offensive to the moral sentiments of the civil.
lied world. and we believe that the personal
rights OF the individual should be curtailed
only when IL is essential to the maintenance OF
the peace, good order and welfare OF the com
munity.
We favor the passage OF such laws by the
general assembly as will give us a system for
the government of our municipalities uniform
throughout the State, as tho constitution re-
quires in which the executive and legislative
power shall be separated the former TO pc
lodgeu in a mayor and the latter in council,
both to be elected by the people; thereby real
izng the principle OF home rule safe from the
dangers and evils OF special Legislation.
We favor closer commercial relations with
our Canadian neighbors, and the removal OF the
embarrassing and annoying restrictions which
only yeS our people without yielding any sub
stantial revenue to the government,
We favor liberal and Just pensions to deserv
ing and disabled soldiers and sailors who fought
for the maintenance of the government, and
like pensions to their widows and orphan chill
dren.
The persecution OF tho Jewish people by the
4 arEa
ceives our unqualified censure We extend to
them our sincere sympathies and believe that
this government in connection with the en-
lightened governments of Europe disposed TO
unite with US, should take proper steps to al
leviate the wrongs thus inflicted on this long
suffering and oppressed people.
Nominations for governor were then
declared in order. Ex-Congressman
Follett was the first to gain the ear of
the convention for the purpose of nom
mating Hon. Lawrence I. Neal, of Gin
cinnati. His speech was characterized
| by considerable fire and energy. S. ID.
Dodge, of Cleveland, was the next to
step to the footlights. He nominated
Virgil P. Kline, of Cuyahoga. 1t was
now the turn of the Campbellites, and
when Gen. Michael Ryan, of Cincinnati,
was seen pushing his way to the plat
form the greater portion of the audi
ence got upon its feet and cheered itself
hoarse.
Byron Ritchie, of Toledo seconded
Campbel' S nomination, and A. R. Bolin,
of Pickaway, as a representative of the
agricultural element, seconded the
nomination of Neal Everybody yelled
for ballot and the calling of the roll
was proceeded with. Adams county
LED off with SIX votes for Neal, and
then there was an almost unbrolSen
line of shouts of Campbell until Cuya-
hoga cast its Al votes for Kline. When
Hamilton county was reached the vote
was announced as Neal % and Campbell
4. The majority objected to the four
Campbell votes, high words were in,
dulged in and for few minutes fight
seemed imminent. The clerk, however,
went on calling the roll and the chail
insisted upon order. Before half the
counties had been called it was seer
that Campbell had already landed with
both feet and the roll was interrupted
by cheering and yells, while the banC
added to the din by rendering ''See the
Conquering Hero Comes"
The official announcement of the vot,
was: Campbell, sos T:16; Neal, 1874 9-16
Kline, So; Congressman Tom L. John
son, 1.
When the result of the ballot was an
nounced delegate from Cuyahoga, il
behalf of Kline, moved to make il
unanimous. The Hamilton county boy
yelled mo" with all the strength o
their lungs. Six hundred delegates anC
5000 spectators got back at them witt
, boots, yells, shrieks and cat-calls. Th
scene was repeated when the chairman
put the question and the ants vote
No" and again a third time whe
their own chc,ce, Lawrence Neal
mounted chair and moved the ar
pointment of a committee ito escor
the next governor of Ohio to the hall.
The Cincinnati men yelled so viciousl
: at this point that there were cries iron
hundreds of throats Put 'em all out
and the delegation yelled back, Com
and try it." Nobody accepted the inv
, tation.
l Lieut. Gov. Marquis was renoninate
! by acclamation just as a band outsid
announced the arrival of the victoriou
S candidate. When Gov. Campbell er
I tered the hall he received an ovatio
