Tho nomination Of Col. Kilbourno
was appropriately cslled ono Of ''spon.
5taneo GUS oombustIcn.' Howells, Hidy,
Alshiro and Holman woro favorito
I, from tho start. Young was sprung as
ssurpriso and nominated ovor Shoots,
Sho had been suoh favorito that
race for clerk Of tho supromo court.
None Of tho delegates, outside Of
Cleveland, knew Young and he was
named because Ouyahoga wanted him
Uuyahoga could get anything it want
cd, except tho head Of the State ticket.
aftor the johnson amendments wero
ongraftcd into tho Mclean platform
and that document as amondod was
adopted with su,h unanimity
1t was currently reported that John.
son desired tho nomination Of Monott
as attorney gcrrral aud that the Mo
Lean mon wan Il Monott defeated.
The defeat Of Monet was 40 decisive
as to bo a feature Of tho convention.
Monett as attorney gonoral had
brought suits against the Standard Oil
& company and other corporations tc
q uancel their charters under the anti
trust laws. He had sought third
term nomination from the Ropubli
oan'a on tho issue that he should be
s. retained in that cflico to continue
those prosecutions. After his dofoa,
for tho third nomination in 1899 he
supported Bryan in 1900 on the anti
a trust issue and oanvassod Ohio and
\ other States with Bryan
;fho most striking turn Of tho con
{ yention was on Bryan. The most bit
$Fa tor thinge were said Of his Leadership
asSsin The oommittep on resolutions where
anaiato hisnsl h hoilsd s.a !. z q
s no reference to either of tho national
"a platforms on which he made his cam,
II psignB. After this plan had been
(. agreed upon, one of the 2l membors
Of that committee offered minor.
ity report, reaffirming tho Kansas City
platform and expressing confidence in
Bryan. He received only six votes
" from the $50 delegates on his substi
tuto for tho preamble. A fow min
) uloB aftor tho platform was adopted,
que of thoso six delegates called at.
,ontion to tho fact that pictures of
,ther Domocrats were displayed in the
aall and mono Of Bryan as heretofore.
10 started to carry small bonnor
With Bryan's picture on it to tho plat.
4 form. The aislos woro ordered cleared
but tho picture did not roach its dos
tination. 1t was trampled undor foot
and spoiled during tho wild demon
btrations whom Kiibourpc was escorted
into tho hall. Ii is generally believed,
however, that tho marching clubs did
not know they wore walking ovor Bry-
ans picture.
The mombors Of tho committee on
resolutions said over ono hour was
spont after last midnight in efforts to
strike tho word "salaole' out Of tho
plank on railway taxation, and aeN yral
hours in denounoing tho Chicago and
Kansas City platforms and tho loador
who stood OH them. Tho platform
caused much oommont tonight ovor
what it docs not Bay as we'll as over
4 what it does say.
Unsual interest ia being taken in
tho selection Of mombers Of the State
executive oor1mitteo by the State cen.
tral committee sinoo tho convention
concluded ito work. Tho State oeptral
committee today adjourned until July
70, without selecting lis Chairman or
aecretary. 1t 10 said mono OF tho osndi-
dates tor either of those plaoos can
secure majority of tho 81 votos, and
that Col. Klbourno will bo compelled
\ to cooperate with either tho MoLoan
mon or tho johnson mon, who are not
talking friendly to each olhor, to con
troll the State exc cutivo committee. In
this connection there arc all sorts of
4 rumOrs about tho sonatorship, for
which tho convention endorses no ono
as the Democratic candidate to succeed
Senator Foraker. Tho namos of John
IL. Molloan and of Tom H. johnson arc
most prominently mentioned in this
connection.
The convention was called to ordor
about IL O'Clock by Chairman Bruokcr,
and after prayer Hon. Charles p.
Salon, a momDer Of Tom Johnson 8
cabinet at 4 Cleveland, was introduced
as temporary chairman, which was later
mado permanent.
His closing deforenoes to railway tax
alton wore loudly applauded.

4 dontials committee reported in favor Of
seating the Bowling dologatos from tho
Dayton district. Tho lilo was passed,
and after warm dobatc, in which
