CRUIKSHANK, Miami county.
The convention made all it's nominations
without opposition. II was in session from
1920 a. m. till 2:4O .. m. and the nomina-
tions were completed I'm a half hour after
Ex-Governor Campbell had been drafted
for the. standard-bearer. Tne ballots were
all on the minority report on credentials
and resolutions and the time was thus
consumed in the contests between the gold
and the silver men. The gold men. headed
by Senator Brice, had claimed that there
would be less than 800 and probably not
many more than 200 OF the sos delegates
vote for free silver. The silver men claimed
they would have no less than 300. and prob
ably $50 delegates. for free silver. IL de-
veloped that there were go free silver
delegates. 1t was fighting minority. but
1t did not carry the fight further than on
the platform. The nominee for member o.
the Board OF Public Works is said to bs
the only free silver man on the state
ticket, although the silver lines were not
drawn on the candidates.
There was considerable enthusiasm over
4 I-E2 -
Ex-Governor j. b.. Foraker i'm 1889. and
was defeated for reelection as Governor
in 1891 by William Mckinley. jr.. the pres
ent incumbent. The nomination OF Camp
bell means an aggressive campaign I'm
| Ohio where Mckinley is now recognized
| as a candidate for President and Foraker
| for Senator the fate OF both depending
largely on the pending contest between
| Campbell and Bushnell for Governor. II
| is generally understood that Governor
| Campbell was induced 10 make the race
| by promises OF suppcrt for the presidency
in the event OF his success next Novem-
| ber. in which contingency he again con-
fronts his old ent--McKinley-should
| the latter be nominated. And IN
cooperating with Senator Brice for .
| Democratic Legislature, Ex-Governor
| Campbell is also again confronting his
other old opponent-Foraker Although
Senator Brice is also known TO have presi-
Dental aspirations, II is the general ac-
cepted theory that Brice ana Campbell
have reached such an understanding as to
contest everything in Ohio with Mckinley
and Foraker, who have everything at
stake on the election of Gen. Asa s Bush
| nell as Governor and a Republican Legis-
lature next November. Ii is thought that
4
Ohio will overshadow the currency sques-
ton and other issues There is so little
difference between the Republican and the
| Democratic platforms on silver that the
| currency question is now generally be-
| lieved to be disposed of in Ohio. but the
| tariff will be kept prominent as the
| parties differ widely on that issue. and
Governor Campbell is expected TO arraign
the Republican State administration OF the
past four years very severely as he did In
| the previous campaigns. Governor Camp
| bell called in his friends tonight before
| leaving and with Senator Brsce and Others
arranged for beginning at once an az
gressive campaign in which they expect
the cooperation OF leading Democrats
throughout the country.
Previous TO his election as Governor in
1889. Campbell had been three times elect
| ed TO Congress in Republican district,
and is recognized the best campaigner
| OF his party in Ohio. His running mate
for Lieutenant Governor-John Il. Peas
| lee-was for years superintendent or the
| Cincinnati schools. and last week retired
as clerk of the courts of Hamilton county.
Mr.. Peaslee is also a fine campaign speak.
er Prof. Knott, the candidate for Audi
tor of State. is college man. and the
1 f0r s,.lo L..
] Common Pleas Bench. Mr.. Fairbanks the
candidate for Attorney-general. is a friend
OF the Thurmans at Columbus. His name
was presented by Congressman Outhwaite.
