Democrats Nominate Mclean for
Governor Of Ohio.
CHAIRMAN MONEYS SPEECH
chIeagO Platform Endorsed. Trusts
sad Anglo American AIlIsnes Op-
posed. ImpsrIaIIsm conaemned.

GAINESVILLE, o.. Aug. so.-The
democratic state convection closed to-
day after a day OF dramatic plays
While there were a half dozen other
candidates for governor. the John r.
Mclean men claimed everything with
such confidence that they undertook TO
bo magnanimous in minor parts. al
though they were at the same time
careful that their star candidate was
not ecllpsed.
They stated early In the day that the
first ballot would have none Of THE
second choice" vote for Mclean. that
none Of the reserves would be called
out till the second ballot and that all
the candidates would have their respec-
tive votes on the first ballot. In this
play Mclean was nominated on the
first ballot by half a vote. and the fig-
uring was so close that the dramatic
scene Of the changes on the second bal
lot with the second choice" reserves
fiocking to McLean's standard. did not
take place.
II is claimed that Mclean could have
had AS votes. out OF the sO2 on the
first ballot instead OF 402ia. and that
he would have had over 800 on the
second ballot. At any rate the dele
gates all voted for their local favor
ties on the first ballot, and thus the
program for complimenting them was
carried out without the leader drawing
from any OF his competitors. After the
adoption OF the majority report on Gre
dentials. the Mclean men felt that they
could make any play OF balloting that
they desired.
The ticket, as completed. follows:

LATIN-AslERrcAN ALLIANCE
Mexican Plan to Control thecr.
Oceanic Canal and Afford
Mutual Protection. ~

CITY OF MEXICO. Aug. sO.-An sl6-
inent lawyer, belonging to the con-
servatlve party, publishes in El ITEM
pc, an elaborate plan for an alliance
OF all Latln-American republics IN
league for mutual protection.
According to this plan the league IS
to be formed for period Of 26 years
and ito commence its existence with
the first year Of the coming century.
There shall be a general assembly Of
delegates from all nations IN the
league. The supreme assembly shall
have control Of the combined fleets Of
the contracting powers and shall also
have eminent control over an inter-
oceanic canal. which the new confed-
Grafton shall construct in Central
America. The nations in the league
shall submit to compulsory arbitra-
tion Of all international questions.
The supreme assembly shall establish
concord between church and the
members OF the Confederation.

impracticable and opposed to the
wishes Of the liberal party in the
Latin-Anerican countries.

CHAIRMAN MooNEY's ADDRESS

Hon. William Moody. temporary
chairman. on opening the convention
made an address, in part as follows:
There will be today no contest as
to the platform declarations which our
party will make. There is no differ
ence Of opinion. The democratic party
Of Ohio stands squarely upon every
plank OF the Chicago platform of 1896
We believed in 1t then and We believe
in It now.
1.-THE people who sent us here do not
believe in double standard of DEM
ocracy. In 1896 the test was Are you
loyal to the PLATFORM and that is the
Ohio test today.
"The party in Ohio is too thoroughly
honest, too completely convinced, too
desperately in earnest to desire to be
misunderstood. The reaffirmation of
the national platform does not elimi-
nate, and does not fail TO both recog-
nlEe and emphasize that we demand
the free and unlimited free coinage of
both gold and silver at the ratio of 16
to without waiting for the consent
or assistance of any nation on earth.
1--WE charge that the trusts of the
country own this administration and
that their title TO II was acquired by
purchase, and until Mr., Hanna is de-
throned. we insist that the trusts will
continue, as now, to be in possession
Of their property so acquired.
I'VE charge that the republican
party, as at present controlled stands
for, II it has not already entered into,
an Anglo-American alliance, The DEM
ocratic party has no desire to adopt
for the United States, upon any subject
of governmental concern, any but an
American policy. We have no desire,
we precelve no necessity to aid Great
Britain In the maintenance Of British
policy anywhere. and with full conf
dence In the strength Of our cause and
country, we ask no aid from Britain in
maintaing an American policy any
where that 1t is necessary or desirable
to maintain one. We adhere to the
Monroe doctrine.
In condemning the doctrine of Inn
perialism we in no manner abandon our
soldiers in the field. But, at the same
time, whenever purse proud, trust

THE CUBAN CENSUS,
intended as a Preliminary Step to Es'

Civil Government.

WASHINGTON. Aug, SO.-It is ex-
pectad that the presidents proclama-
tlon relating TO the taking Of the CEN
sus In Cuba will be made public at
Havana very soon. Although 1t is
well known that the taking Of the CEN
sus is intended as preliminary steps
to the establishment Of republican
form Of government In Cuba, It is pos
itiveiy stated at the war department
that there is nothing in the census
proclamation to conflict the assertion
that the United States intends to give
immediate Independence to Cuba.
The taking OF the census will be fol-
lowed by municipal elections and the
inauguration Of autonomy in localities
where II Is practicable, The withdrawal
OF American troops and the termina-
ton OF the existing military govern
ment is not looked for. at the earliest,
