| The convention was in session from
1910 a. m. to : p. m. and nominations
were completed in a half hour after ex-
| Governor Campbell had been drafted for
the standard bearer. The ballots were all
on the minority report, on credentials
| and resolutions and the time was consum-
ed between the gold and silver men. The
| gola men, headed by Senator Brice, had
| claimed that there had been less than
800 and probably not more than 200 OF the
| 500 delegates to vote for free silver. The
| silver men claimed they would have no
| less than 800 and perhaps $50 delegates,
| 1t developed that there were go silver
| delegates. 1t was lighting minority but
it would not carry the fight iurther than
on tho platform. The nominee Tor mem,
Der of the board of public works is said
| to be the only free silver man on the
| ticket although lines were not drawn on
| the candidates. There was considerable
| enthusiasm over Campbell's nomination.
| He defeated Ex-Governor Foraker in 1889
and was defeated for reelection as gov
ernor @ in 1891 by william Mckinley,
| jr., the incumbent. The homina-
| ton of Campbell means an aggressive
campaign in Ohio where Mckinley is now
recognized as candidate for president
and Foraker fof senator, Bushnell Tor
| governor.
1t Is generally understood that Camp
bell was induced to make the race by
promises of support for the presidential
| nomination in the event of his success
next November, in which contingency
| he would again confront his old oppo-
nent, Mckinley, should the latter be
| nominated And in cooperating with
| Senator Brice for a Democratic legislat-
! ure Ex-Governor Campbell is also con-
| fronted by mis- old opponent. Foraker.
| Although Senator Brice is also known to
| have presidential aspirations, it is the
| generally accepted theory that Brice and
! Campbell have reached such an under
| standing as TO contest everything in ONO
with Mckiley and Foraker, who have ev-
| erything at stake on the election OF Gem
eral Bushnell as governor and RepuDll-
can legislature next Novem ber. 1t is
thought the contest between these old
leaders will overshadow the currency
question ana other issues. There is SO
little difference between the Republican
| and Democratic platforms on silver that
the currency question is now generally
believed to be disposed OF in ONO, but
the tariff will continue prominent, as the
parties differ widely on that issue, and
GOV. Campbell is expected to arIaign the
past four years very severely. as he did
in the previous cam mpaigns. Governor
Campbell called on his friends tonight
before leaving. and with Senator Bfice
and others arranged for beginning at
once an aggressive campaign, in which
they expect to cooperate with the lead
ing Democrats throughout the country.
Previous to his election as Governor
in 1889 Campbell had been three times
elected to congress in a Republican dis
trict, and is recognized as the best cam
paigner of his party in Ohio.
Judge Patrick of Canal Dover made
radical free silver argument in favor of
his minority report, and scored the ma
jority report as serpent which wiggled
and wiggled and no one could tell wheth-
er 1t was running for gold or coming
back. He caused storm of merriment
Brice as he said gold was in the hands of
the rich and this was fight of the mill
ions against the mlllionaires. He begged
that the Democratic party be delivered
from the national banks and the money
power.
Mr.. Hurd replied in favor of the ma
lority report and for honest money. He
claimed that no state convention had the
right to reverse the declaration of ma
tional convention, and that the place for
the fight to make silver the standard was
at the next national Democratic conven-
llUn. Altet MS argument tnerc WIS q
scene on the stage by Judge Patrick con-
graduating Mr.. Hurd.
Mr.. r. ID. Marshall of Dayton made a
plea for the majority report.
l.. A. Russell OF Cleveland closed the de-
bate for the free silver minority report.
The time had not all been taken from the
minority report when the call of counties
was begun on substituting the minority
for the majority report on the platform.
The result was p ayes, 525 nays. The ma
iority report was then adopted. AT the
call the Cuyahoga county delegation.
which had just been seated, cast its SO
votes solid for the minority free silver
report. The Brice claim was shat a test
OF strength on the silver question would
find the 80 votes OF Cuyahoga county in
favor of 'honest mo ney."
The vote on the minority report was,
however, generally considered a test of
strength in the state on the financial
question.
General f. f. Finley of Bucyrus offered
a resolution of endorsement of the Mon
roe doctrine in the Venezuela and Mica
ragua cases. 1t was referred and a long
discussion followed considering this
action. The resolution being under con-
sideration. ex-Congressman Toilette de-
Tended President Cleveland as favoring
the Monroe doctrine and being amply
competent to defend it.
General Finley insisted that an en-
croachment on American soil should be
met with declaration of war. Mr.. In
gals said this resolution had been fully
considered i'll the committee.
Ex-Governor Campbell was called upon
and given an ovation, when he made a
most vigorous speech for the Monroe doc
trine and insisted that as the resolution
had been offered it should be adopted.
He insisted that it was not partisan and
it could not be interpreted as rejecting
on the federal administration. The reso-
luton was then adopted. Only two or
three dissented.
Before and after p. m. motions for
recess were voted down with cries for
Campbell When nominations were called
for Mr.. Campbell took the floor to head
off the calls for himself and to present
the name of Judge Hiram D. Peck of
Cincinnati for the nomination of COVER
nor. He reviewed the conditions, ma
tional as well as in the state, and said
easily al six years ago. He was inter-
rupted by james NJ. Norton, who pre-
sented motion to suspend the rules and
nominate James i. Campbell by accla-
nation. Mr.. Campbell protested and
raised points of order amid the widest
scenes of cheering and yelling for Camp
bell.
Governor Campbell said he had run for
congress three times in a Republican
diStrictsand twice for governor in "a Repub-
Liam state until he was depleted fnan-
cially and otherwise, and he was unable
to make the race. He insisted upon the
nomination of Judge Peck or some other
good Democrat who could make good
race.
Seconds OF the nomination of Campbell
rolled in.
