The convention had more prominent
men as delegates than any convention
of Democrats in Ohio for many years.
The nomination of Col Kilbourne was
appropriately called one Of Spontaneous
combustion" Howells, Hidy, Alshire
and Holman were favorites at great odds
from the start. Several amendments
were ingrafted into the Mclean plat
form and that document as amended
was adopted with unanimity. Charles
p, Salen, representative of Mayor Tom
/. Johnson, was both temporary and
permanent chairman of the convention
and the delegates repeatedly quoted
Senator Hanna by shouting 'Salen
knows his business"
1t was currently reported that Mayor
Johnson desired the nomination OF
Frank S. Monnett as attorney general
and that the Mclean men wanted Mon
nett defeated. At amy rate the de-

Monnett, as attorney general had
brought suits against the Standard Old
company and other corporations to can
Gel their charters under the antitrust
laws. He had sought a third term nomi-
nation from the Republicans on the is
sue that he should be retained in that
office to continue these prosecutions.
After his defeat for the third nomina-

Ohio and other states with Bryan.
Judge Smalley in presenting Monnett's
name said he was known from the
golden gate of San Francisco to the
Hell Gate Of New York as the enemy
of trusts

taxation was loudly applauded.
Noticing the absence of any portrait
of Bryan among the decorations, one of
the delegates started to carry a small
banner with Bryan's picture on it to
