CINCINNATI. O., Aug. 1O.-The con-
vention to select an opponent for Gov.
Mckinley was called to order at 8 o'clock
this morning in Music hall. At s
O'Clock none of the delegates or officers
OF the convention had put in appear
anct, and the great, beautifully deco
rated hall was deserted save for the
presence of the blue-coaled officers who
were stationed throughout the building
After 9 O'Clock the delegates came in
so slowly that at $50 not over one-half
of them were in their seats. Then they
came more rapidly, and after the band
at the far end of the hall and the organ
at the back of the stage had taken
turns at entertaining such delegates as
had arrived, Chairman Crltes gave three
blows with his gavel and the conYen-
ton was on.
In few words the chairman intro
duced Rev. George A. Thayer. who de-
llvered brief prayer, and, at its con-
ciusIon, Chairman Critics made the first
formal address of the day, speaking as
follows:
LII opening the meeting. Chairman
critics, after thanking the citizens COM
mittee for their good work in preparing
tor the convention, alluded to the Re-
publican convention of two months ago
as ''noted for its depleted delegations,
its total lack of enthusiasm and the
wiliful absence of the most prominent
Republicans of the state, many of whom
not even sought the shadow of an eX-
cuse for non-attendance, but their mo-
tlves were apparent to ALL He then
went Oh:
while the so-called Little Napo-
leon is there meeting his final Water
loo IN the arena of national politics, let
us make the little bantam of Ohio a
dead bird by placing in the pit with
him today one of our proud Democratic
ROSTERS, with nobler spurs. who shall
drive him completely from the
Buckeye RoOst,
upon which for nearly two years
he has SO gracefully posed, over which
lie has so detiantly domin ted, and
ali of which he has so basely polluted.
Fortunately, we may safely rely upon
the Intelligence and fidelity of these
S0S tried and true delegates, directly
representing the Democracy of the
state, to wisely transact the business of
this convention"
Gilbert Nj. Bargar. the temporary
chairman, was greeted with cheers as
long and loud az those which had well
coined the opening of Mr.. Critics.
speech, and met it at the close.
Chairman Bargar. i'll opening his
speech, argued that the present depres-
sion was traceable to Republican rule,
and not to the Democrats.
The people must hot, and shall not, be
deceived on this great question. The
Democratic party ever true to its pledge
to the people, must perform the work of
tariff reform, and, without injury to any
legitimate business, reduce taxation to
an amount sufficient for the wants of
the government economically admins
tered.
The remainder of Chairman Bargar's
speech related entirely TO Ohio state
matters, the pension rolls, regulation
of private corporations being the main
points touched upon.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Bargar's
address the committee on credentials
reported. The only contest of any con-
sequence was that from ChiIlicothe,
where NeaFS delegation had been at
tackled. The committee reported in
favor OF seating Neal's men, and the
deafening outbuISt which followed it
was the first real indication of Meals
strength, aud it showed up III great
shape. over 300 delegates springing to
their feet and yelling loud and long for
the man from ChilIicOthe.
The committee on permanent Organi-
cation reported in favor of making the
temporary organization permanent,
which WAS done.
