Cleveland burned I'm Emgy.

CHICAGO, August 2O.-A special
to the Inter-O Ocean from Texarkana,
Ark, says: The majority of the
Democrats in this section are
strongly in favor of the free coin
age of silver, and are naturally
much depressed with President
Cleveland's late Message to Con-
gress on that question. at Bucha-
nan, ten miles west Of here, i'm
Texas, a mass meeting Of about 80
voters, nearly all Democrats, was
held Friday night. Resolutions
bitterly ~denouncing Cleveland as q
champion of the money power and
an enemy of the common people
were adopted, after which the Pres
ident was hanged in efigy and af-
forwards shot and riddled with bull
let's. The efigy is still hanging,
and it is understood that it will be
publicly burned.

THE OHIO DEMOCRATS.
JACK.

Ringing Endorsements of the Democratic
PIatform-Noars Nomination.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 11.-Delegates to
the state convention were remarkably
slow in getting together. At 8 o'clock,
the hour designated for the commence
ment of the proceedings, just three
were in their places.
State Chairman g. D. Critics, upon
whom devolved the duty Of calling the
assemblage to order. fretted and fumed
behind the big gilt eagle that adorned
the desk, but this did not help matters.
Absent delegates were uptown en-
deavoring to coalesce upon somebody,
or anybody to defeat Garry Neal, and
they could neither be whipped nor
coaxed northward until they were good
and ready. After tho clock turned 10,
however, they came in like an AVA
lanche, and when 10 minutes later the
impatient chairman brought down his
gavel and declared the convention called
to order. Delegates and spectators
numbered over 5000.
delegates Noso to THOR Feet
while the Divine blessing was invoked
by Rev. Dr.. George A. Thatcher. AS a
preface to his words, the state chair
man read q cablegram from ,Jal;es It.
Neal, consul at Liverpool, conveying his
greetings to the Democracy of Ohio and
saying that he felt that victory awaited
the ticket nominated. This was re-
ceived with applause, which was re-
newed when tho retiring state chair
man began his valedictory address.
Tho Temporary Chairman.
The presentation of Hon. Gilbert II.
Barger as temporary chairman was a
signal for n hearty reception to the
Democratic war horse from the state
capitol. He dived, without an intro
ductlon into the discussion of national
issues. Hearty applause punctuated
the salient portions of his speech, but
was especially loud and prolonged when
the speaker declared that this country
should no longer be donominated by
European money standards or by Amer
lean cities that financially owe two
much allegiance to foreign nations.
The report Of the committee on Gre
dentials seating Neal, the contesting
delegatefrom Ross county, went through
by reclamation, and so did the PROPOSE
ton that the temporary organization
De Made Permanent.
Chairman Barger modestly declined to
make q second speech on assuming the
duties of permanent chairman, ana tho
convention proceeded to cut off a pros
pective flood of oratory by adopting a
resolution that all nominating speeches
BIO kept within five minutes.
A Sound Platform.
A platform endorsing tho platform of
the Democratic party, and strongly de-
nouncing the administration or state af-
fairs by Governor Mckinley was Heart
lily endorsed by the convention.
The financial situation of the country,
which is pronounced unfortunate" is
declared to be the natural result of the
"McKinley tariff. tho Sherman silver
law, the extravaganza of the Republic
can party recently in power, and in tho
creating and fostering of trusts and COR
ruptions by that party. all combining
to shake credit, to create distrust in tho
money of the country and to paralyzc
its business"
