The Ohio Convention.

OH" Democrats held very cnthu-
sla-tir state Convention at Columbus,
Wednesday, at which the most remark
able unan'mitv existed on the only
i>~l" that i now recognized a. livid-
iu% III" people "i the nation, the re-
m"nrtiiation OF silver. 1t was the
largest convention held in the State
since the war, the new auditorium
which seats 5000 people. not being
equal to the demand for admission.
Hon. Clric Sloane was introduced
a temporary chairman. and in ring
ing speech, congratulated the people
Of Ohio upon the manifestation OF a
thorough application OF the vital issue
presented in the present contest.
Here is a paragraph which indicates
its ,olum" and timhrc:
1t is expected that your temporary
chairman shall strike the KEYNOTE OF the
coming campaign. Well, that KEYNOTE
shall be sounded on silver chord. II
will be no new note, but proloncation
of that sounded by the national cOnven-
ton at Chicago last summer, and one
that has grown in power and volume
since, carried in a grand diapason Of
over 6,O00, 900 voices to the polls last
November. There may be some in this
convention. though | doubt it. who
hoped that the silver note was silenced.
There were many in the land who i'm
mediately after the last November elcc-
ton hoped and believed so, but to all
such Republicans, Mckinley Democrats.
or followers of the dudes and dotards
who met at indianapolis, the renewal Of
the slogan of free silver here and in
Kentucky will be a warning that the
fiery cross is speeding over mountain
and valley, over hill and dale, over field
and forest, summoning the silver clans
men to fight the great battle for the peo-
pie and receiving no weak or uncertain
response. Who doubts that the rich
men are despots, who that LOOKS calmly
ahead, but knows that unless prevailing
conditions are soon changed, the poor
will become 'banditti'? Five millions
OF men are begging for leave to toll. All
classes cry to the Mckinley administra-
ton for bread and are offered stone.
The people ask for money, and Charley
Grosvenor pitches them a sugar beet"
Horace T. Chapman was nominated
Governor, on the second ballot, receiv-
ing 599a votes out of total of 959.
The nomination was made unanimous
amidst the greatest enthusiasm.
After the nomination of full State
ticket, three cheers were given for
William ]. Bryan and the convention
adjourned after a continuous session
of eleven hours.

Kicking Against the Pricks.

John Considine, of Spokane, has de-
clared his intention of securing de-
cision of the U. S. Supreme Court for
determining the constitutionality of
the State law, prohibiting him from
employing women for selling the Gar
dent" in the boxes of his variety dive.
He takes broad grounds against the
decisions of the Superior and Supreme
Courts, which have affirmed the legal
ity of the statute. He says that wo-
men have the same right to earn a
livelihood as men; that the law is
rank class legislation, but he loses
sight of the fact than the main object
of employment of women for "box
rustling," is to bring extraordinary
Establishments to bear for promotion
OF the traffic, and that public policy is
often considered in constituting the in
tent of our law makers. How he ex-
poets to receive favorable consideration
from a court which has already gone
on the record for prohibition in its
most radical form, classifying the
traffic with "slaughter-pens" and
other nuisances, which the State has a
right to regulate or suppress, it is diff.
ficult to determine, as well as his
means of securing hearing before
that august tribunal. 1t may be how
ever, that he finds encouragement
from the ease with which such arch
fiends as Durrant secure stay of the
death penalty, even after the gibbet
has been built and the knot tied to in
flict the death penalty for the most
atrocious crime known to criminal
practice.
