FOR FREE SILVER
Ohio Democrats i'm Their State Con-
ven:iOn Declare For the
White Metal
AT The GOOD OLD RATIO
Gathering in Which There Was Con-
siderable Interest and
Excitement.

COLUMBUS. o., Sept. 19.-The demo-
cratic state convention met at 10 o'clock,
with Frank Hurd Of Toledo, as tempor-
ary chairman. In sounding the key note
of Ohio democracy Hurd said that "free
wool was worth more than all the other
provisions of the new tariff law" He
gave the credit for it to President Cleve
land, Secretary Carlisle, Senator Brice
and the democratic congressman Of Ohio.
The platform proposed praises the
efficient, economical and honest admin.
istration of President Cleveland; de-
clares protection fraud and favors such
further reduction of the tariff as can be
made, to the end that purely protective
duties be abolished. The business fail
ures, strikes, low wages, and low prices
of farm products are enumerated as re-
suits of the Mckinley law. I'VE dissent"
says one plank, from the presidents
view, construction and treatment Of the
silver question, and believe that
SILVER SHOULD BE RESTORED
to the position it occupied as money
prior to its demonitization by the re-
publican party, and to that end we favor
the unlimited coinage Of silver at the
legal ratio of lG to l, and with equal
legal tender power. The platform de-
nounces the American Protective asso-
citation. 1t favors liberal pensions,
the corrupt practice law, limiting
the amount of money to be ex-
pended by candidates and the law
prohibiting free passes on the railroads.
The minority of the committee on plat
form reported in favor Of adding to that
document the proposal to elect United
States senators by the people. F. M. Cor
man, Tom johnson, V. II. Kline, A. j..
Pearson, j. Tyler, Frank Hurd and John
II. Clark of the committee on platform
offered another minority report to the
effect that the democrats of Ohio favored
honest money, the coinage of gold and
silver interconvertibility without loss,
and opposed the proposed coinage Of
these metals metals at 1G to |.
\ DRAMATIC SCENE
occurred during the discussion Of the
discussion Of the proposition to elect sem
ators by ballot. John II. Clark of Ma
honing declared in bitter terms that the
senate was a millionares club. The con-
vention applauded loudly. Mr.. Brlce
sat upon the platform looking as pale as
marble. When Clark sat down, Tom
johnson said he did not believe Brice
brought his way into the senate, This
made the matter somewhat personal and
great confusion followed The chair
ruled that the proposed amendment was
not in order. The anti-free silver propo-
sition was defeated by vote of 4GS to
3l9. The convention, by vote of 461 to
32S declared in favor of the election of
United States senators by the people.
This is regarded as tantamount to an
indirect censure of Brice. Milton Turner.

for secretary of state. Other nomina-
tions are: Judge of the supreme court,
James d. Ermiston; member of the
board of public works, Harry b. keefer;

THE ELEVENTH CENSUS.
The Work Expected 10 BE Completed in
Five Months.

The Work Expected TO BE Completed in
Five Months.
WASHINGTON, Sept l9.-The work of
the eleventh census is about completed,
the work on population in vital statis-
tics being all that remains to be done
The portion of the work on population
remaining uncompleted is that on occu-
pations. The vital statistics are made
up largely from the figures on population
and have been held back on account of
work in that division. Chief Clerk Down
thinks that in less than five months the
work Of the census will be completely
closed aud the present force of 400 en-
ployes reduced to forty or fifty at the
outside. These will be experts who will
have charge of the proofs from the print
ing Office. An additional supplement to
the compendium of the census is yet to
be issued But while the census work
proper will thus be finished in few
months, it may be several years before
the work of printing is all done and the
completed work published. The compile
tion of the work at so early period is
unusual, and to Superintendent Wright's
skill and experience in handling statis-
tics this is largely attributed.
