'Your gold is in the hands of the very rich" shouted the venerable speaker, as he turned in the heat of his oratory toward Senator Brice.
 The convention appreciated the force of the references and yelled and laughed to it's hearts content. l.. A. Russell of Cleveland also spoke for silver, While Frank Hurd spoke briefly, but to the point for sound money. He insisted that an Ohio democratic convention had TO right to change the declaration of the na- tional convention of the party, and he denied the right of the convention to change the obligation and the duty that rested upon the consciences of honest democrats to support the national plat form. If they wanted to change that duty and to enforce their sentiments let them go to the next national convention
 R. D. Marshall of Dayton spoke after wards for harmony and a' roll call was demanded on the adoption of the minor ity report. The vote was defeat for the silver men-270 to 525.
 When the silver issue was out of the way Gen. D. B. Finley of Bucyrus ere ated a division by submitting another plank to the platform, viewing with alarm the armed invasion by Great bri- tain of a friendly country and insisted upon the enforcement of the Monroe doc urine. The chair ruled that the question
 
 forms this decision was challenged in all parts of the house. After a prolonged parliamentary skirmiSh the resolution was put upon its passage as an independ- ent motion. Opposition was offered by John r. Follet of Cincinnati, who de- clared that they were not there to inti- mate that they had no confidence in the democratic administration. If any neces- sty arose for the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine there was no doubt that Grover Cleveland would enforce it.
 President Ingalls, of the Big Four" warned the convention against tacking blanks to a regularly prepared platform, but Ex-Governor Campbell in a few vigorous remarks carried the convention with him. He asked his hearers if they would split upon the ancient Monroe doctrine or affirm it. There was TO in tention of fIouting the administration of the greatest of living Americans. Ten wears ago and again a year ago, through MT. Bayard. the country had warned Great Britain to keep it's hands off the South American republics. Congress had passed a resolution to the same effect, but on the other side of the Atlantic they had sneered at that resolution. They had smiled with contempt when it said that the Monroe doctrine should be respected. The resolution was simply intended to notify the incoming congress that the president demanded legislation that would drive Great Britain out of Vene- zuela and that they were not prepared to lay down and allow the British lion to put his paws on them. The resolution was then put and carried with whoop. The platform, with it's sound money plank, was adopted by a viva voce vote, hundred or more delegates yelling no
 As soon as nominations were declared in order Ex-Governor Campbell was again on his chair. Cries of Campbell for governor" drowned his voice for q couple of minutes. Finally securing silence he said that there was a mission before the democratic party of the state this fall, that of achieving victory which should electrify the whole country. At this point the ex-governor gave Ex- State Chairman Norton of Tiffin permis- sion to interrupt him. and Norton pro ceeded to move that Campbell be nom- mated for governor by exclamation.
 This was the cue for the convention to rise en masse and give three cheers twice over, while the band played the Camp bells are Coming
 But the ex-governor held his ground, and having once more secured silence he proceeded to say that he had made five races under unfavorable auspices in ten years, all calculated to deplete his condi- ton financially and physically There were men in Ohio who could better afford to make the fight and make the sacrifice, and if the convention was composed of his friends thought to respect his wishes and bestow the nomination elsewhere. He concluded by nemina ting General Peck of Hamilton county, but the con vention would not have 1t so, and as MT. Ingalls, had said that between the wishes of the convention and the wishes of the candidates sought. the latter would per force go to the wall the nomination was made by exclamation. Seeing that he could do, nothing else the ex-governor gracefully accepted the situation and the. remaining nominations followed in quick order, each being without contest.
 Following is the ticket in full:
 Governor, James E. Campbell.
 Lieutenant-governor. J. B. Peaslce of Hamilton county.
