 Their Leader-ResolutiOn Adopted.
 SPRINGFIELD, O., Aug. 22.-When the democratic state convention was called to order yesterday. MT. Brice appealed to all democrats to for get past and present differences and, remembering only the disastrous de- feat of last year, to unite in re-estab- fishing the democratic party in its old position.
 Ex-Congressman Frank Hurd, as chairman of the committee on resolu- tions, offered the majority report adopted by vote of l9 to ? of the committee. The two principal para graphs of general interest were as fol- lows:
 The democratic party of Ohio, in convention assembled. points with satisfaction and pride to the wisdom of the action of that party in the last two years and the results accom- plished according to it's promises, to-wit: The repeal of the republican legislation known as the sherman jaw un-American federal election law and the Mckinley law, from which repeals has resulted re- | turning prosperity to the country to such an extent that even the republicans are obliged to recognize the same. We congratulate President Cleveland that his efforts in favor of the repeal of these vicious laws and the uphold | ing of the credit of the country have been suc- l cessfuL We congratulate our senator Hon. Call | win s. Brice, for the earnest and effective sup port he has given to the president in these mat | ters When we consider the fact that the demo- | cratic party received from the republicans in | 1892 bankrupt treasury. that 1t inherited | from them the vicious currency and tariff laws which had prepared and finally produced the panic of 1s93 we insist that it is entitled to | the thanks Of the people for the courage with which it has attacked and repealed these laws. We reafirm the following portion of the seventh plank Of the platform of the last na- tional democratic convention: We hold to | the use of both gold and silver as the standard l-uney of the country and to coin of both gold | and silver without discrimination against either metal or charge for mintage: but the | dollar unit Of coinage of both metals must | be of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value. | or be adjusted by international agreement or by such safeguards oflegislation as shall insure | the maintenance of the parity of the two met als 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 especially necessary for the protection of farmers and laboring classes, | the first and most defenseless victims of un- | stable money and huctuating currency.
 Judge Patrick, from the committee on resolutions, offered the following minority report:
 We deem the immediate restoration of the law providing for the free coinage and full | legal tender of both gold and silver coins with out discrimination against either metal us | provided in the constitution and without wait ing the assent of England or any other foreign | nation.
 After Mir. Patrick had spoken sharp ly Mir. Hurd replied in favor of the ma jority report and for honest money.
 After two more speeches the roll of counties was counted on substituting the minority report for the majority report on platform. The result was as follows: 27O ayes, 5s5 nays The ma jority report was then adopted with. out calling the counties.
 The following nominations were then made: For governor, ex-Gov. James E. Campbell; for lieutenant-gov. ernor, John B. Peasley, of Cincinnati; for supreme court judges, w. T. Mooney and w. B Shober; for attor- ney-general, George A. Fairbanks, of Columbus.
