Ohio Democratic Convention Will Adopt
the Unit Rule.

Ohio Democratic Convention Will Adopt
the Unit Rule.
COLUMBUS, June 24.-The preliminary
meetings showed that the silver men
have almost 600 of the 675 delegates in
the Democratic convention. AT the
district meetings the silver men carried
II Of the congressional districts and the
gold men 4. The committee on resolu-
tions and other committees, including
the state central committee, stand II to
4. The Ohio delegation to Chicago,
when the delegates are all chosen, will
probably stand sS to 8 for free silver,
although the silver men claim 40 to 6.
With their large majority in this con-
vention the silver men intend to i'll
struct the Ohio delegation for free coin
age and to vote as unit so that the
cold districts will be shut out.

The Platform Adopted.
The iiiajor1ty report of the resolutions
committee endorsed Cleveland, Villas
and Mitchell and declared for tariff
for revenue only. The financial plank
read as follows:
We believe that tho dcli;ihds OF a COM
merct built upon the broad aha enlight-
ened doctrine Of free trade, requires d eur
rency that cannot be. discreditcd IN any
civilized country.
Realizing this logical demand for tbs
best money for international trade; real
fzing also the dangers Of a fiat currency in
domestic use; and aware that the present
condition of commercial distress callsfor
the patriotic and sturdy maintenance of
national honor and financial integrity, we
declare ourselves opposed to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, and in favor
Of gold, the highest monetary standard of
tho world.
A minority report III favor of free
o6inaee was offered, but was rejected
1928 70 al7. The majority report was
then adopted by the same vote. The
following delegates ut large were then
elected: Williams F. Villas, Madison {;
Edward S. Bragg, Fond du Lac; James
