Full Report ofthe Convention.

called to order this morning about II
o'clock at Schaefer's Opera House by
Chairman Jacob II. Reigner.
In calling the convention TO order he
said: "As chairman OF the county central
committee IL becomes my duty TO call the
convention TO order. AT the last meeting
OF the central committee IL was unani-
mously decided that Oliver M. Coxen
should act as temporary chairman OF the
convention. II is my pleasure to intro
duce to you Hon. o. NJ. Coxen who will be
your temporary chairpan."
Mr.. Coxen spoke In substance as fol-
lows: Fellow citizens and Democrats In
obedience with the wish OF the county
central committee am here TO preside as
temporary chairman over the deliberations
of this convention. 1t is a pleasure
70 preside, yet feel II
was out OF Kindness that
was selected. What lack In oratorical
ability l will endeevor to make up by obe-
dience to your wishes. congratulate you
as delegates who are sent to represent our
intelligent citizens. We do not come here
to discuss the issues of the day as Demo-
Gratis are usually awake upon the issues,
and forget all personal disappointment,
and come together TO put forward ticket
that will commend itself to the voters and
q ticket that will be elected next Novem-
ber.
The Democratic party deny that high
tariff produces high wages and say that
tariff serves no good purpose unless II is
to maintain the government. The Demo-
cratic party believes in the protection OF
American labor but denies that the way to
do this Is to tax every article that is con.
sumed. The Democrats believe that the
way to protect labor is to protect 1t from
the constant stream of emigrants. Untax
American labor and 1t will defy the COM
petition OF all Europe.
don't desire to detain you long but
wish to call attention 10 remark made
by Ex-Governor Foraker in nominating
our distinguished citizen Major Mckinley,
for Governor. He said the Democrats
were alive Notwithstanding the combined
force OF the Republican party and the
Devil. OF the Republicans 1t must be
said that they show signs ofpremature de-
cay. At the last session OF Congress 1T
was shown how low their vitality was by
endeavoring to perpetuate themselves in
power by the passage of the Force bill.
don't wish TO predict a
roseate future, but ask you to
put forward ticket today that
will command the respect and support OF
every voter. congratulate you that the
Democratic party here in Ohio, this fall,
will be sufficiently large in numbers TO
work for such a victory as our cause war
| rants. l would suggest the naming OF a
| person for temporary secretary"
When Mr.. Coxen concluded his remarks
| he was loudly applauded. John r. Nc
| Bride, Of Massillon, was named for tenn
| porary secretary, but that gentleman said
