COLUMBUS, O.. June "a. The Demo
cratic state convention was called to
order by Chairman Smalley. During
the morning members of the committee
ON resolutions were working on the
phraseology of the one resolution. The
only thing in the platform was a resolu
ton on silver and an attachment for the
unit rule involving the silver question
at Chicago.
While there was nothing in the plat
form but silver, the same issue con
trolled all other committees and pre-
liminary meetings. The state central
committee was re organized. This
committee, as well as other committees,
stood two to one for free silver. The
temporary and permanent chairman and
all officers of the convention are radical
silver men, and the gold minority com
planned of their treatment.
The following majority report on
resolutions was presented:
Resolved That we are unalterably opposed to
the single gold standard and demand an i'm
mediate return to the constitutional money of
gold and silver by the restoration by this gov
eminent independent of other nations, of the
unrestricted coinage of both silver and gold into
standard money at the ratio of l6 to / and upon
the terms of exact equality existing prior to 1873;
such silver coin to be full legal tender equally
with gold coin for all debts and dues public and
private.
Resolved, That the delegates at large and the
delegates from the congressional districts are
hereby instructed to use all honorable means to
secure the adoption of the principles contained
in the foregoing resolution by the National Dem
ocratic convention. and to vote only for candi-
dates for president and vice president who are
known to be in full accord Herewith: and to
accomplish these ends to cast the votes from the
state OF Ohio as a unit as majority may deter
mine.
The gold men moved to strike out the
unit rule instructions, but were voted
down by viva voce vote. A minority
report was also defeated and the major
ity report adopted by vote of 542 to
1873.

VENEZUELA IS FIRM.
Proposes 10 Fight Out Her Case With Eng
land to the Bitter End.

Washington, Oct 22-The Venezuelan
minister, Senior Andrade, made IA call
lasting about an hour on the secretary OF
state, today, but declined to divulge the
nature of the interview. 1t is well under
stood that If the proposals Sir Julian
Pauncefote is said to be bringing from
Lord Salisbury offer only a partial arbi-
tratfon of the boundary dispute. or the
elision of any part of VeneZuela's claims
as compromise substitute for Secretary
Olney's plan for adjudicating the entire
controversy. the Venezuelan government
would decline to accept arbitration on
any such terms.
Venezuela has determined to await the
commissions decision, now expected tariy
in December, unless England in the
meantime consents to the reference of
the entire question to an impartial tri
bunal
The intimation has reached official
quarters here that Great Britain may
eventually consent to a free and full arbi-
ttration, with. however. the same ,stipu-
lation which was imposed upon Near
COrinto affair was the climax. and which,
after demanding smart money for inju-
ries to Consul Hatch in the Mosquito at
fair, proposed the reference of the other
claims to tribunal of which each of the
members should be mot a citizen of any
American state.
Venezuela, it is said, as evidence of her
confidence in the integrity of her claim,
might be willing to consent to this UNI
usual stipulation. and the United States,
after the precedent set in the Mosquito
affair would hardly be in Il position to
advise any other course.
