LEADERS Say.

were dissatisfied with the platform
adopted by the recent Democratic
state convention at Columbus held a
meeting and decided to call another
state convention to be held in the
capital city on July 81, for the purpose
of adopting platform favoring silver
and nominating another ticket.
The East Liverpool Crisis has inter
viewed a number of prominent Demo.
Gratis in Columbiana county whose opin-
ions Of the course taken by the Cleve-
land Democrats are given as follows:
Chairman David Black, of Salineville:
Il don't think much of the effort to
hold another convention. The ticket
nominated and platform adopted at Co.
lumbus are all right. There was no
intention of turning Bryan down, for
only state issues enter into this cam
paign."
T. S. Arnold, of the Leetonia Re-
Porter. Il can see no reason for an
ether convention. The platform is all
that could be desired and so is the
ticket. II suits me to a tee. / am
as good a Bryan man as there is in
the United States and am thoroughly
satisfied with all the convention did.
90 not think the proposed movement
will amount to anything"
j. j. Weisend, former chairman of
the Democratic central committee:
'As far as | am concerned l am a
Bryan man as much as / ever have
been. The ticket nominated Is per-
fectly satisfactory, There are none or
the ticket but men who voted for
Eryan, and therefore think it ought
to be satisfactory TO all good Demo.
Gratis. State issues are more important
this year than national issues" '"s.l'
A. w. Taylor, prominent attorney
Of Salem and delegate to the national
convention in 1900: II think those
men are set of fools. Why do we
want to drag national issues into state
campaign? We have enough in our
own state to occupy us this fall, and
IL good sense Is used we will win.
am an original Kilbourne man and am
much pleased with both the ticket and
platform"
ID. ID. Kirby, of the Salem Herald
THE ticket is all right The platform
is all right. There was no intention
to turn Bryan down, but state issues
are the important things this year"
George B. Aten, ex-county chairman
Il don't see why those ten men, if
they are SO offended at the platform
don't give their names. / do not think
1t will amount to anything. For my
part the platform suits me, and SO do
the candidates"
Mayor A. p. Dennis, of Wellsville:
"Of course indorse the platform anu
the candidates. l did my little part
In the making of that platform and
nominating the candidates and have
no sympathy with any such movements
as you mention"
Il. j. Former, of Wellsville: "The
movement Will amount to nothing and
tope no Democrat in this county
win be led away by such scheme
for scheme concocted by the Republi-
can leaders it certainly is, Just such a
scheme as was put into effect by the
Republican leaders of Franklin county
last fall when a lot of so called Dem
Ocrats received about $4,000 to a ac-
complish the defeat of Lentz. If any
Democrat joins the movement he will
be making himself an adjunct to the
Republican campaign committee and
will be in the game for revenue only.
The platform is the most comprehen-
sive statement of state issues which
any convention has adopted in recent
years. The candidates are all men
OF good reputation and thoroughly
qualified for the position they seek.
IL the Democrats will all stand to-
gether they can be elected by hand.
some majorties. If the Republican
are FOOLS enough to give up
good money to anybody who would
start such a movement they are badly
for they cannot deliver the
goods. The Democratic state ticket
will be elected In spite of any
such attempt to defeat it,"
John c. Walsh, Democratic candidate
Cor the state legislature from this
district: ANY misunderstanding that
may have arisen among certain parties
curing the convention, after due con-
should have been wisely de-
cided. The convention was purely on
state issues and l do not think tha.
II would have been wise to bring the
rational issues into it, The introduc-
,ion of Bryan In the convention would
have brought up the national issue
which We were not there to discuss.
AS the convention has met and ad-
journed and nominated strong ticket
believe that 1t is the duty Of every
Democrat In the state to come for
ward and give his sole support to
The success of the ticket"
M. u. Miskall declined to make any
statement In regard to the proposed
bolt in the Democratic ranks. II am
Iot figuring In politics just at present
and have nothing to say on the sub.
