sides and Eulogizes the President
Silver Resolutions Voted Down
Campbell Nominated for
... Governor.

Springfield, Ohio, Aug. 2l.--The Demo.
cratic state convention assembled to-day
under peculiar circumstances, there being
contests between rival delegations for
seats, between fighting factions for plat
form planks and between other elements
for almost everything, except places on
the ticket.
Silver men realized yesterday that they
we're in minority, but, when the com
mittee on credentials during the night re-
duced their number materially by sitting
the "Brice boilers" from Cleveland, these
men resolved to make trouble on the re-
ports of the committees on credentials
and resolutions and everything else.
This morning ex-Gov. Campbell gave
nomination if rendered to him. Ex-Con-
gressman Malone, Congressman Sorg,
Col. Kilbourne and others mentioned for
standard bearer also said that they would
not accept.
SEVERAL PERSONAL ENCOUNTERS.
Several personal encounters were
among the results of last nights meet
ibSS anu uuo lCo4pS Wuo liz pcGtoE WHEN
the delegates assembled this morning
The Brice men had everything and their
only consideration was that of avoiding
further trouble.
When Senator Brice entered the hall he
received an ovation. Ex-Gov. Campbell
afterward was received with applause.
At 1880, the chairman of the state
committee, NJ. A. Smalley, called the con-
vention to oruer.
Senator Brice was introduced as the
presiding officer of the convention and
made speech in which he maintained
that the Democratic party had fulfilled
it's pledges by rapealng the Sherman
law, the Mckinley law and the federal
election law, and urged the party in Ohio
to stand on the national platform of
1892 as to the currency question. He
eulogized President Cleveland as the
greatest statesman of his time.
MAJORITY REPORT PRESENTED.
Congressman Byron Ritchie, of Toledo,
presented the majority report on creden-
tials which seated the Brice delegates
from all the contested counties.
Phillip Grow presented minority re-
delegation from Cuyahoga county, which
includes Cleveland. A. D. Weitzel also
presented minority report to seat the
anti-Brlce delegates from Clark county,
headed by John H. Thomas.
John H. Clark, of Youngstown, a radical
gold man, delivered a phillipic advocating
the minority report of Grow, which fa-
vored seating the free silver delegates
from Cnyahoga county, the most pro-
nounced anti-Brce men at the conven-
tion.
The roll call on the adoption of the
report as substitute for the
ma jority report on the contest in Cuya-
hoga county resulted as follows: Ayes,
367; nays, 339.
Whereupon fifty-nine Brice delegates
gave up their seats amid mingled cheers
and Misses to the
ANTI-BRIcE OR FREE SILVER DELEGATES
from Cleveland. The vote on the CLARK
county contest, the question being on
substituting the minority report for the
ma ajority report, resulted as follows:
Ayes, 2741a, and nays, 4461a. The report
on credentials as amended was then
the only change being in Cuya-
hoga county.
The report of the committee on per-
manent organization continuing the tenn
porary officers was adopted.
Arule was adopted limiting debate to
twenty minutes on each side, with view
to preventing protracted debate on reso-
lutions.
Congressman Frank Hurd, as
chairman of thecommittee on resolutions,
offered a report adopted by vote of 19
to 2 in the committee. The resolutions
point with pride to the action Of the
party during the last two years and the
results achieved; congratulate Cleveland
and Brice; reaffirm the currency plank
of the last national Democratic conven-
tion; denounce Republican "bossism" in
Ohio and declare that the last legislature
was corrupt.
