without Opposition.
/ The Democratic state convention here
/ today made all its nominations without
opposition. The convention was in ses-
sion from 1910 to pm, and nom
nations 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 consumed 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 more than
200 of the 500 delegates who
silver men claimed that they would
have no less than 300 and perhaps $50
delegates. 1t developed that there were
go free silver delegates. 1t was a
fighting minority, but it would not
carry the fight further than on the
platform.
Only One Free Silver Man.
The nominee for member of the
board of public works is said to be the
only free silver man on the ticket, al
though lines. were not drawn on the
candidates There was considerable
enthusiasm over CampbelrS nominal
ton. He defeated Ex-Governor Fora
lxer in 1889 and was defeated for re-
election as governor in 1891 by William
Mckinley, jr., the present incumbent.
The nomination of Campbell means an
aggressive campaign in Ohio, where
Mckinley is now recognized as can
didate for president and Foraker for
senator and Bushnell for governor. It.
is generally understood that Campbell
was induced to make the race by
promises of support for the presiden-
tial nomination in the event of his sue
cess next November, in which contin-
gency he would again confront his old
opponent, Mckinley, should the latter

May Overshadow 1t.
Although Senator Brice is known to
have presidential aspirations it is the
generally accepted theory that Brice
and Campbell have reached such an
as to contest everything
in Ohio with Mckinley and Foraker
who have everything at stake on the
election of General Bushnell as COVER
nor and a Republican legislature next
November. 1t is thought the contest
between these old leaders will over
shadow the currency question and
other issues. There is so little differ
ence between the Republican and DEM
ocratic platforms on silver that the
currency question is now believed to be
of in Ohio, but the tariff will
be kept prominent, as the parties dill
fer 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. Cover
nor Campbell called on his friends to-
night before leaving and. with Sena-
tor Brice and others, arranged for

campaign, in which they expect TO CO.

CampbcIFS Record.
Previous to his election as governor
in 1889, Campbell had been three times
elected to Congress in a Republican
district and is recognized as the best
campaigner of his party in Ohio.
His running mate for lieutenant
governor, John B. Peasiee, was for
years superintendent OF the Cincinnati
schools and last week retired as clerk
Of the court of Hamilton county. He
IS also fine campaigner. Prof Knott,
