AN ATTORNEY FOR GOVERNOR
HENRY GAGE NOMINATED BY CALL
FORNIA REPUBLICANS.
President Mckinley and His Policy
Warmly COmmended-Ticket ChO-
sen by Missouri Republicans.

DAYTON. o., Aug. M-The Democratic
state convention to-day nominated the fol-
lowing ticket:
Secretary of state-Upton K. CUTLERY, of
Marion.
Judge of Supreme Court-Hugh G. Mich
OILS, of Clermont
Clerk of Supreme Court-DaVid S. Fisher
OF Delaware county
Food and Dairy Commissioner-John Bak-
err of Hancock
L. ID. Wight Paul, of Summit county.
The convention adjourned at p. M, after
being in continuous session all day. There
were no incidents of special interest after
the contest between Joseph P. Bowling and
Allen 0. Myers had been declared a draw,
in the interest of harmony. The effort to
get a new plan of party organization in
Ohio failed of final adoption, but it was
given another chance by such reference as
will bring 1t up next year. The new organ
ization seems to satisfy those working for
the nomination of Paul J. Sorg for Governor
next year, and not displeasing to the Nc
Lean-Brice or other elements. The cam
paign this year will be made on the Hanna
issue, and next year on Senator Foraker for
not taking steps against Hanna. While the
resolutions do not favor unlimited colonial
expansion. General Findlay, chairman of
the convention. said the platform meant to
expand by the consent of those to be gov
erned. The most decisive feature of the
convention was its preference for Bryan in
1900 on the same platform in 1896. The
resolutions as adopted reaffirm the Chicago
Platform and say:
plank therein declaring for the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver and gold at the
ratio of 16 to 1, independent of any and all
other nations.
1--WE are proud of the patriotic conduct
In peace and war of that brave leader CT
Democracy, William j. Bryan and we favor
his denomination for President in 1900"
The platform favors an income tax and
thanks the minority in Congress for seek
war taxation equally on the wealth and cor
labor Dor , ~, ,,.
liberty and the pursuit of happiness is the
natural and inalienable heritage of all man
kind, and since the hand of despotism has
been lifted from the Island of Cuba, dom
mated by Spain, we should afford it's inhab-
itants an untrammeled opportunity to es-
tutional government, deriving its powers
from the consent Of the governed, and we
remind the country that Congress, in the
resolutions which declared war:
" Resolved, That the United States here
by disciaims any disposition or intention to
exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control
over said island except for the pacificat ton
thereof. and asserts its determine ton, when
that Is accomplished, to leave the control
ana government OF the Island TO It's own
people, and we believe that until the people
of the Island of Cuba and the Island of
Philippines redeemed from Spanish DONNA
ton declare otherwise we should keep the
faith upon which the war was begun and
prosecuted"
The resolutions favor the building of the
Nicaragua canal, charging the militia of all
States, and reducing the standing army, OPP
pose alliance with England or any other
foreign power, and demand that the United
States Senate take action on the findings
OF the Ohio Senate on the election of Marcus
A. Hanna as senator
