The Democratic State Convention mere
.o.Sav had more prominent men as dele
r.tes than any convention of Democrats
Of Ohio in many years.
The nomination of Col. Kilbourne was
ornronriately called one of Spontaneous
comhustion.' Howells, Hidy. Alshire and
Holman were favorites from the start,
youne was sprung as surprise and NOM
mated over Smoots, who had been such
tovorte that others would not previously
enter the race for clerk of the Supreme
Court. None of the delegates outside of
Cleveland knew Young and he was named
because Cuyahoga wanted him. Cuya-
boga could get anything it wanted, ex-
cent the head of the state ticket, after
the Johnson amendments were engrafted
into the Mclean platform and that docu-
ment as amended was adopted with such
unanimity.
MIR. Monett Was Not Wanted.
II was currently reported that johnson
desired the nomination of Monett as at
torney general and that Mclean men
wanted Monet defeated. The defeat of
Monett was so decisive as to be feature
of the convention. Monet as attorney
general had brought suits against the
Standard Oil Company and other corpor-
ations to cancel their charters under the
antitrust laws He had sought a third
term nomination from the Republicans on
the issue that he should be retained IN
that office to continue these prosecutions
after his defeat for The third nomination
In 1899 he supported Bryan in 1900 on the
antitrust issue and canvassed Ohio ana
other states with Bryan.
The most striking turn of the conven-
ton was on Bryan. The most bitter
things were said of his leadership in the
committee on resolutions where it was
insisted his name should NOT be mentioned
and that there should be no reference TO
ether OF the national platforms on whlch
he made his campaigns. 7.
Very Sore on MIR. Bryan.
After this plan had been agreed upon.
one Of the twenty-one members of that
committee offered a minority report, re-
affirming the Kansas City platform, and
expressing confidence in Bryan. He re-
Ceiyed only six votes from the $50 dele
gates on his substitute for the pream-
bic. few moments after the platform
was adopted one of these six delegates
called attention to the fact that pictures
Of other Democrats were displayed in
The hall and none of Bryan, as hereto
fore He started to carry a small ban
ner with Bryan's picture on it to the
Platform. The aisles were ordered clear
ed but the picture did not, reach its des-
unation. 1t was trampled under foot
tons when Kilbourne was escorted into
the hall. 1t is generally believed, how
ever, that the marching clubs did not
Know they were walking over Bryan's
picture
Ihe members of the Committee on Res
olutions said over one hour was spent
ai'er last midnight in efforts to strike
lne word ''saleable" out of the plank on
iehway taxation and several hours in de-
muncing the Chicago and Kansas City
Platforms and the leader who stands on

meht tonight over what II does not say
as well as over what it does say.
