CAMPBELL FOR GOVERNOR.
OHIO DEMOCRATS FOR SOUND
MONEY BY SOUND MAJORITY.

Make the Race-16 to silver
Stands a Poor show in the Conven-
tiOn-ResOIutions of the COnven-
tion, and the Platform as Adopted.
Springfield. o., Aug. 21.-In spite Of
James E. Campbelrs earnest and repeat
ed protest that his friends must not nom-
mate him as the democratic candidate for
governor Of Ohio as he could not make
the race for various reasons, the ex-gov-
ernOr was put at the head of the ticket
BY aeclamation against his will to-day
by the 800 delegates to the state conven-
ton.
The nomination was forced upon the
Butler county man while he was in the
midst Of a speech and in the act of pre-
senting the name OF Judge Peck of Gin
cinnau for the same honor. Then came
a graceful acceptance and the rest of the
ticket was made up on the acclamation
order. Senator Brice won his point Of
having only a re-affirmation Of the ma
tional currency plank inserted in the
platform, ION sound money" winning by
the sound majority of 255 when the free
silver amendment to the platform was
put to the convention.
At 1925 State Chairman NJ. A. smalley
called the convention to order. He refrain
ed from making a speech himself. Prayer
was offered by Rev. S. +. Breckenridge
and then, amid more cheers. Senator Cal
win S. Brice was presented as temporary
chairman, and addressed the convention.
The references of the senator to the
money question were loudly applauded,
and equal enthusiasm was manifested
when the speaker pronounced his eulogy
upon President Cleveland. Just as soon
as he had concluded, the report of the COM
mittee on credentials was called for.
In the Butler county contest the report
favored the seating of the contest ting del
egation, headed by Hon. James E. Camp
bell, and Of the cOntesting delegation from
Cuyahoga county (CleVeiand). A minor
lty report in favor Of the regular delegation
from Cleveland was presented, amid min
gled cheers, groans and Kisses, by Phil
Grove of Hardin. In the Springfield con-
test the majority report was against the
seating of the delegation headed by Hon.
]. II. Thomas. who was Briee's compet-
itor for the senatorship six years ago. A
minority report was also presented in the
interest of the Thomas faction and a fioW
of argument was inaugurated.
A roll call by counties was ordered on the
question of seating the Cleveland delega-
ton that had been ousted by the commit
tee on credentials, and which stood for sill
yer. The ballot resulted, ayes .367; nayes.
S39, and the result was received with great
cheering. The convention refused to seat
the Thomas delegation from Clarke coun-
ty by decisive vote.
This disposed Of the contests and the
report of the committee on permanent
organization, continuing the temporary or
ganization, was adopted with a shout.
Frank Hurd, the free trade apostle of
Toledo, then presented the majority re-
port of the committee on resolutions. 1t
read:
The Democratic party of Ohio in con-
vention assembled points with satisfaction
and pride to the wisdom of action Of that
party in the last two years and the results
accomplished according to it's promises, to
wit: The repeal of the republican legisla-
ton known as the Sherman law, the un-
American federal election law and the Nc
Kinley law, from which repeals has re-
suited returning prosperity to the coun-
try to such an extent that even the repub-
hcans are obliged to recognize the same.
We congratulate President Cleveland that
his efforts in favor of the repeal Of these
vicious laws and for the upholding of the
credit of the country, which have been
successful We congratulate our senator,
Hon. Calvin S. Brice, for the earnest and
eHective support he has given to the Pres
ident in these matters.
When we consider the fact that the Dem
oeratic party received from the republ-
cans in 1892 a bankrupt treasury, that it
inherited from them the vicious currency
ana tariff laws which had prepared for
ana hnally produced the panic of 1898, we
insist that 1t is entitled to the thanks of
tne people for the courage with which it
mas attacked and repealed these laws.

seventh plank OF the last national demo-
cratic convention: I'VE hold to the use of
Ootn gold and silver as the standard money
Oh the country and to coin both gold and
silver, without discrimination against
elmer metal, or charge for mintage, but
the dollar unit of coinage of both metals
must be of equal intrinsic ara exchanged
DE value or be adjusted by international
agreement, or by such safe legislation as
shall insure the maintenance of the parity
Vi the two metals and the equal power of
every dollar at all times in the payment
OF debts, and we demand that the paper
currency shall be kept at par with and
redeemable in such coin"
we insist upon this policy as especi-
any necessary for the protection Of the
farmers and laboring classes, the first and
most defenceless victims of unstable
money and iiuctuating currency. The re-
nalnder of the platform relates to state
affairs entirely.
The platform was signed by nineteen
out OF twenty-one members Of the com
