The record-union., 1895-08-22

Calvin S. Brice, for the earnest and effect
i've support he has given the President in
these matters.
'When we consider the fact that the
Democratic party received from the Re-
publcans in 1892 bankrupt treasury,
that 1t inherited from them vicious eur
rency and tariff laws which had been pre-
pared and finally precipitated the panic
OF 1875, we insist that 1t is entitled to the
thanks of the people for the courage with
which it attacked and repealed these
laws.
I'VE reaffirm the following portion of
the seventh plank of the platform of the
last Democratic Conventions: we hold
20 the use Of both gold and silver as the
standard money of the country and to
the coinage of both gold and silver with
out discrimination against either metal
or charge for rnintage, but the dollar
unit of coinage of both metals must be of
equal intrinsic and eXchangeable value.
or be adjusted by international agree
ment or by such safeguards OF legislation
as shall insure the maintenance of the
parity of the metals and the equal power
of every dollar at all times in the pay
ment of debts. and we demand that paper
currency shall be kept at par with and
redeemable in such COIN
''We insist upon this policy as espe-
clally necessary for the protection OF
farmers and the laboring classes, the first
and most defenseless victims OF unstable
money and fuctuating circumstances.
We call the attention of the people to the
acts and practices OF bossism by which
the Republican party in this State has
been managed in the last few years, and
for examples point to its history in Ham
ilton County and the final elimination
in the GAINESVILLE Convention, and we
ask The people by their votes this fall to
tees
I'VE denounce the last Legislature as
corrupt and unworthy Of the confidence
of the people and we su bmit to the voters
whether they wish to perpetuate this con-
dition OF affairs by placing the Republi-
cans again in power.
I'VE view with alarm the large increase
in the Indebtedness throughout the State
by counties saud.municipalities as author
lied by the last Legislature, and the in
crease of the last few years in the tax
rate aud we demand economy in expen-
diture and conservatism in the increase
of public debt"
Judge Patrick, from the Committee on
Resolutions, offered the following minor
ity report:
I'VE demand the Immediate restora-
ton of the law providing for the free coin
age and the full legal tender of both gold
and silver coins without discrimination
against either metal, as provided in the
Constitution. and without waiting the as
sent of England or any other foreign ma
tion."
t The vote on the motion substituting the
minority for the majority report was 270
ayes, 525 nays. The majority report was
then adopted.
General Finley offered a resolution in
dorslng the Monroe doctrine which was
adopted almost unanimously, after eX-
Governor Campbell had made vigorous
speech in its support.
Just as soon as nominations were de-
clared in order, Ex-Governor Campbell
was again on his chair. Cries of Camp
bell for Governor" drowned his voice
for a couple of minutes. Finally secur-
ing silence, he said that there was mis-
sion before the Democratic party of the
State this fall-that of achieving victory
that should electrify the whole country.
Here the Ex-Governor gave ex-Ssate
Chairman Norton of Titfin permission to
Interrupt him. and Norton proceeded to
move that Campbell be nominated for
Governor by acolamation. This was the
cue for the convention to rise en- masse,
and give three cheers twice over, while
the band played "Tke Campbells are
| Coming"
But the Ex-Governor held his ground,
and having once more secured silence, he
| proceeded to say that he made five races
under untavorable auspices in ten years,
| all calculated to deplete his condition.
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 it ought to respect his wishes
| and bestow the nomination elsewhere.
He concluded by nominating General
| Peck of Hamilton, but the convention
would not have it SO. and CampbelPs
nomination was made unanimous. See
ing that he could not do otherwise. the
Ex-Governor accepted the situation. and
other nominations quickly followed in
order.
]. B. Beasley of Cincinnati was nomi-
mated for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, William
L. Mooney for Supreme Judge, William
b. Shober for State Treasurer, George A.
| Fairbanks for Attorney General, Harry
b. keeter for member of the Board Of
Public Works and II. w. Cruikshank for
Clerk OF the Supreme Court.
The convention at 2:40 p. VI. adjourned,
the nominations having all been made in
half an hour.
