convention Of the party, and he denied the
/ right OF the convention to change the
obligation and the duty that rested upon
the conscience of honest democrats TO
support the national platform. If they
/ wanted to change that duty and to enforce
their sentiments let them go to the next
national convention.
X. ID. Marshall of Dayton spoke after
| ward for harmony, and roll call was de-
manded on the adoption of the minority
/ report The vote was a defeat for the
free silver men-270 to 525.
When the silver issue was out of the
wey Gen. Z. b. Finley of Bueyrus crea-
ted division by submitting another plank
/ TO the platform, viewing with alarm the
/ armed invasion of Great Britain of a
| friendly country and insisting upon the
enforcement of the Monroe doctrine.
The chair ruled that the resolution
could not be considered. In different
forms this decision was challenged in
| all parts of the house. After prolonged
parliamentary skirmish the resolution
was put upon its passage as an independ-
! ent motion. Opposition was offered by
John F.. Toilette Of Cincinnati, who de-
| clared that they were not there to inti-
mate that they had no confidence in the
| democratic administration. 1t any neces-
sity arose for the enforcement of the
Monroe doctrine there was no doubt that
/ Grover Cleveland would enforce it.
I EItSAleuN 1uBdllS OF the big tOufs
/ warned the convention against taking
| planks to a regularly prepared platform,
| but Ex-Governor Campbell in a few vigOr-
/ GUS remarks carried the convention with
| him. He asked his hearers if they would
split upon the ancient Monroe doctrine or
I affirm it. There was no intention of hout-
/ ing the administration Of the greatest liv-
/ ing American. Ten years ago, and again
year ago through Mr.. Bayard, this coun-
| try had warned Great Britain to keep its
/ hands off the Southern American repub-
/ lies. Congress had passed resolution to
4 the same effect but on the other side of the
/ Atlantic they had sneered at that resolu-
/ tion. They had smiled with contempt
when 1t was said that the Monroe doc
trine had been respected. The resolution
was simply intended to notify the incom-
| ing congress that the people demanded
/ legislation that would drive Great Britain
out Of Venezuela and that they were not
| prepared to lay down and allow the British
/ lion to put his paws on them. The resolu-
tiop was put and carried with whoop.
The platform with its sound money plank
was then adopted by viva voce vote, a
hundred of more delegates yelling NO"
As soon as nominations were declared in
/ order, ex-Gov. Campbell was again up on
4 his chair. Cries of Campbell for COVER
nor" drowned his voice for a couple Of
minutes. Finally securing silence he said
that there was mission before the DEM
ocratic party of the state this fall; that of
/ achieving a victory that should electrify
/ the whole country. At this point the ex-
governor gave ex-State Chairman Norton
| of Tiffin permission to interrupt him and
| Norton proceeded to move that Gov. Camp
bell be nominated for governor by accla-
nation.
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 Sc
cured silence. he proceeded to say that he
had made five races under unfaVorable
auspices in ten years, all calculated to de-
plete his condition financially and physi-
cally. 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 it ought to respect
his wishes and bestow the nomination else
where. He concluded by nominating Gen.
Peck of Hamilton, but the convention
would not have it so and after Mr.. ingalls,
had said that between the wishes of the
convention and between the wishes of the
candidates sought, the latter would per-
force go to the wall, the nomination was
made by acelamation.
Seeing that he could do nothing else,
the ex-governor gracefully accepted the
situation, and the remaining nominations
followed in quick order, each being with
out contest.
Following is the ticket in full: For
governor ex-Gov. Campbell; lieuten-
ant governor, ]. b. Peaslee of
Hamilton county; supreme judge.
William 7. Mooney of Auglaiz;
state auditor, James w. Knott of
Mansfield; state treasurer, w. T. Shober
of Gallia; attorney general, George A.
Fairbanks of Franklin; member board OF
public works, H. z. Heffer of Tuscarawas
county; clerk supreme court, j. w.
Cruikshanks Of Mamiama, all by accla-
nation.
The convention adopted the rooster as
an emblem, and at 2:4O o'clock adjourned
sine die.
Senator Brice, in his speech on taking
the chair, referred to the disaster that
befell the Democratic party last year,
and said that this year if ever, the Ohio
democracy must fight with unbroken
ranks against the common enemy. This
convention, he said, and the intense feel
ing manifested by those who attend it,
and those who have sent their delegates
here, tell the story that a change has
come over the public mind; that the
Democratic party is no longer PROSTATE,
but its fortunes are rising and it is quite
worth while to be in the Democratic
army which already has the confident
step of a march toward victory. Panic
and fear have passed away. The benef-
cenee of democratic legislation has al
IedQy DEO4uCCQ anu - producing AlS tA-
fects, faith is rapidly being restored,
confidence re-established, and business
everywhere reviving and it is now clear
that it is only a question of time, either
in November of this year or next year,
when the American people will reward
the Democratic party for its profound
service to the republic.
Upon the money question Mr.. Brice said:
When l see to-day efforts being made to
divide the great Democratic party just on
the eve of its revival and resumption Of
power on a theoretical and academical
question in which no practical result is
possible, come to this convention to ask
full consideration before taking passion
ate action; / come to urge the party in
Ohio to stand on the platform Of 1892 on
the money question; TO let the currency
remain as 1t now is. and not to change our
ground without full deliberation and ma
tional convention and a deliverance from
that body. ! come to urge that declara-
tion for free coinage would be foolish be-
cause 1t would be an impotent and idle
declaration. II would separate Us from
the national democracy. II would drive
from our support thousands, hundreds Of
thousands Of men who otherwise would
