Delivered From Brute Force"
MCLEAN FOR GOVERNOR.
Republicans Declared to Be Crushing

GAINESVILLE, o., August 3O.-Memorial
hall was packed when Hon. w. S.
Thomas, chairman of the Democratic
state committee, to-day called the con-
vention to order. Very many were un-
| able to gain admittance. Rev. l.. f.
Kearney, Catholic, prayed for the de-
liverance of the Filipinos from brute
force now being inflicted upon them"
The prayer was so radical and forcibe
that it brought forth rounds Of most
vociferous applause. Judge w. p.
Money, temporary chairman of the con-
vention, was received with great ova-
ton.
The platform reaffirms the entire Chi
cago platform of 1896, especially en-
phasizes the financial plank and de-
mands the denomination Of Bryan. 1t
says: 1--WE are radically and unalter-
ably opposed to Imperialism by the
United States of America. When we
have solved the race problems that con-
front us at home, then by example We
can proclaim blessings that flow from
free institutions, and thus procure be-
nevolent assimilation without criminal
aggression. We are opposed to entan-
Cling alliances with foreign kingdoms
and empires. We profoundly regret
that American soldiers are being un-
lawfully used in the name of liberty to
crush and destroy dawning republican
ism in the Orient, and we denounce the
secret and vicious alliance now in evil
dence between England and the Repub-
lican administration, whereby this ma
ton may become involved in a war with
foreign nations. We demand that the
Cubans and Filipinos not only be per-
dependent republics, deriving all their
governmental powers from the consent
of the governed We denounce the Re-
publican party for it's thirty-eght years
of abject subserviency to the shipping
interests of Great Britain, and we de-
nounce the so-called Hanna-Payne
shipping bill, which, if enacted into law,
would further shackle our interests. We
are in favor of maintaining our splendid
and efficient navy. A large standing
army in our republic is a menace to lib
erty. We favor the initiative and refer
endum, the passage of an eight-hour
labor law, more rigid inspection of
mines and workshops, prohibition OF
sweat shops and abolition of the con-
tract system of prison labor"
The platform denounces trusts; de-
nounces the attorney general of the
United States for refusal to enforce the
statutes of the United States against
them; denounces bosssm, of which the
Republican party in Ohio is declared to
be under control.
GAINESVILLE, O., August 30.-After the
adoption of the rules the reports on Gre
dentials were presented. The majority
report was as expected, with the excep-
tion of Highland county, from which it
was recommended that the anti-Mc-
Lean delegation be seated The minori-
ty report related only to Cuyahoga
county, and recommended seating the
Wilson delegation, instead Of the Sa-
lem-McKay delegates. Bitter speeches
were made on both sides. A motion to
lay the minority report on the table was
lost. The previous question was ordered
on a motion to substitute the minority
report for the majority report. 1t re-
suited, BAL yeas and 3S9 nays. This bal
lot was the first open test of strength
of the opposition to Mclean, which vot-
ed in the affirmative.

when the reports on permanent organ
ization and resolutions were adopted.

erything without further contest.
