CINCINNATI, Aug. 10.-The Democratic
state convention to nominate a state
ticket, assembled in the music hall at
9 this morning. The hall was deliberately
decorated. At the opening there was
practically no change in the situation. 1t
was Lawrence T. Neal, out and out sill
verite against the field, with Baker next
in strength among the friends of ex-
Governor Campbell. The outcome was
entirely problematical, though the deter
mination of the platform committee to
give free silver cold shoulder was some
thing of blow to the Neal men, but they
claim to be able to nominate him on the
second ballot at the farthest. The Baker
men say they cannot lose and the Taylor
men make a like claim. twas $3.50 be-
fore the delegates were in their seats.
Then after prayer Chairman Critics. OF
the state central committee. delivered a
brief address, in which he took crack at
"Shermanism, 'McKinleyism' and
"Republicanism" as responsible for the
| financial Ills of the country, and named
Hon. G. ii. Barger as temporary chair
man.
| Mr.. Barger, in his speech, said Cleve-
| land left his Republican successor sur
plus OF 500. 900. 900 in the treasury, with
annual revenues of S95, eco, 600 in excess of
expenditures; gold and silver purchased
was coined, not stored away as useless
metal; the free gold above the reserve was
$50, 600, 900, and the gold stream from
Europe was turned toward our shores,
| the net gain during Cleveland S admins
tration being nearly S55, 600, 600. Four
years of Republican control left the
country confronted with the question
What will we do with the de-
cheney? as the result OF reckless extrav-
agance. Yet the Republicans who were
responsible for this condition of affairs,
hoped to profit by it politically, through
the distress of the masses. III other
words, they hoped the people would CEN
sure the assignee of. the improvident,
reckless spendthrift, and reward the
spendthrift that caused the trouble with
which the assignee must deal.
He then took up the silver question,
declaring: 1.-THE constitution of the
United States never intended that the
government should purchase and store
either gold or silver, but that it should
fix the weight of coins. Congress might,
| however, limit the coinage. but coinage
should be free up to limitation. The
currency should be based on coin, but the
ratio should not be controlled by ideas
of the governments OF Europe, nor
be dominated by those OF a
single city in this country whose
interests turn towards Europe" The
party is still In favor of tariff reform; de-
| MED that the bank failures was the result
of fears of the people that this reform
would interfere with the industries of the
country. The temporary organization
was then made permanent and the plat
form was then read.
The platform approves the platform OF
the national convention at Chicago,
especially tariff and currency planks;
lcongratulates the country on the prospect
of measures of relief as outlined in the
presidents message; expresses confidence
that Democratic Congress will devise
wise laws to that end and continues as
follows: The financial situation is an I'M
fortunate legacy or the Republican adj
ministration; it is the natural result OF
the Mckinley tariff, Sherman silver law,
extravaganza of the party lately in power
and the creation and fostering of trusts
and corrupt combinations by that party
all combining to shape credit, create dis
, trust in the money OF the country anC
paralyze its business. We recommend
that national banks be permitted to Issue
, currency to an amount equal to the pal
value of United States bonds deposited
with the treasurer of the United States tx
the end that the volume of currency bt
Immediately increased.
The platform then declares that Fth,
interest of every true soldier and pen
sioner demands that pensions be mad,
and preserved as roll OF honor; declares
, in favor of just and liberal recognition o
the claims of veterans and favors tn,
granting to them all patriotism could ash
and national gratitude demand, but tina
2 the granting of pensions on fraudulen
claims for partisan purposes in contra
vention OF the law as practiced under the
last administration needs investigation
!; and correction, the party pledging itsel
that the rightful claim of no union sol
der to pension shall be denied nor tn
, allowance of any worthy pensioner dis
turbed.
J The platform closes by saying that tn
. country has an abiding faith in the in
tegrity. patriotism and exalted courag
:. OF President Cleveland. True to the people
) watchful of their interests, he will en-
force honest. economical methods in tn
' conduct of public affairs and secure ever
