Dollar unit of the coinage of both met

I'VE call the attention Of the people
10 the methods and practices of boss
ism by which the Republican party ID
this state has been managed the last
few years, and for examples point to It's
history in Hamilton county, and to the
final elimination of the same in the
GAINESVILLE convention, and we ask the
people, by their votes this fall, to put
their condemnation on such practices.
1--WE denounce the last legislature as
corrupt and unworthy the confidence OF
the people, and we submit to the voters
whether they wish to perpetuate this
condition of affairs by placing the Re-
publicans again in power.

Judge Patrick, from the committee on
resolutions, offered the following NIL
nority report:
eve demand the immediate restora-
ton of the law providing for the 1ree
coinage and full legal tender of both
gold and silver coins without dlscrlm-
ination against either metal, as pro-
vided by the constitution, and with
out waiting for the assent OF England
or any other foreign nation.
The vote on the question of subst1tut-
ing the minority for the majority re-

The majority report was adopted.
Brice's Speech.
Senator Brice's speech was as toll
lows:
Gentlemen of the Convention:-Thi
year, if ever, the Ohio Democracy
must fight with unbroken ranks and
against the common enemy. We must
recognize the gravity Of the situation.
It is now less than year since we
were beaten in this state by nearly
14o. 900 plurality, nor was this local
disaster affecting only the party IN
this state. We were beaten IN our
strongholds as well as in doubtful
places, and it is idle TO talk of its be-
ing the fault Of any one man OF any
single act of the party. The SHADOW
of The great worldwide panic, the in
dustrial and financial depression, low
prices for all products, low wages or
no wages for workingmen everywhere,
despair for farmer and mechanic, ter
TOR and ruin fer bankers and mer-
chants, and at the bottom of all
false tariff system running in turn
manufacturer and consumer and an
unwise and fatally weak currency
situation, had caused throughout the
nation resentment against the party
which happened to be in power when
the disaster came Men everywhere
were freely saying that the Demo-
cratic party was dead. There was
wild. fierce clamor against the presi-
dent, against the Democratic Senate,
against the Democratic House. So
widespread was this feeling of hope
lessness among our party that we have
already lost our majority in the Sen
ate, not to be regained in many years,
while our majority of more than 100
in the House of Representatives has
been reversed.
But panic and fear have now passed
away. The benef1cence of Democratic
legislation has already produced it's
effect. Faith is rapidly being restored;
business everywhere is reviving, and
in November OF either this of next
year the American people will reward
the Democratic party for its profound
service to the republic.
The three great promises made to
the American people in 1892 have been
nearly fulfilled and carried more nearly
into execution than any three prom
ises ever made by any platform. I'm
der the very shadow of the disaster
brought on this country by the Re
publican laws, against which we pro-
tested and whose repeal we demanded
the force bill. the Mckinley bill and
the Sherman bill-these promises were
fulfilled The Democratic party re-
pealed and wiped from the statute
books the force bill and gave home
rule to this country, as far as your
national legislators had anything to
do with the question, and next repealed
Internationally the Sherman silver law
and thereby prevented the absolute
bankruptcy of the United States treas
ury, which was imminent. There is
no human being whose judgment is
entitled to the slightest weight who
does not know that the gravity of the
situation and the imminence of the
peril was averted by the repeal : the
Sherman law. And the third, and in
the Democratic heart the most desired
the repeal of the Mckinley bill-was
secured against the fiercest opposition
and in its place was passed &, Demo-
cratic tariff bill, which will long stand
as the law of the land.
With restored trade it is now clear
that the bill. even without the income
tax. will provide about the amount of
money that is required to carry on the
