DEMOCRATS NAME TICKETS.
Nominations Made and Platforms
Adopted by Conventions in Wis.,
c0nsin, Iowa and Ohio.

Sandusky, O., Sept. 1.-The demo-
cratic state convention nominated
the following ticket: For secretary
OF state, Rev. Herbert S. Bigelow,
Cincinnati; supreme Judge, Michael
Donnelley, Napoleon; food and dairy
commissioner, Philip H. Bruck, Co.
lubus; member state board of public
works, Joseph J. Pater, Hamilton.
The platform favors a new munich
pal code for Ohio cities, with home
rule as the cardinal principle and the
federal plan as secondary, and de-
nounces what is called municipal
government by boards" It also de-
nounces the proposition of perpetual
franchises and favors such charters
subject to popular vote. In national
affairs the last national platform and
standard bearer are strongly Endorsed,
and the election of United States SEN
ators by direct vote of the people is
favored, declaring it the policy of the
democratic party in Ohio to indorse
at state conventions the candidate of
the party to be voted for at the next
legislative election of a senator.
Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 4.-The follow
ing ticket was named by the democrat
ic state convention here Wednesday,
the nominations being by reclamation
in every case: Secretary of state,
Richard Burke, of Mahaska; auditor
of state, J. S. McLuin, of Guthrie coun-
ty; attorney general, John Dennison,
of Wright county; treasurer of state,
K. U. Chapman, of Des Moines; judge
of supreme court Qong term), Thomas
Stapleten, of Iowa county; for clerk
of supreme court, Jesse Trip, of JAS
per county; for supreme court re-
porter, John F. Dalton, of Calhoun;
for judge of supreme court (short
term), w. H. Quick, of Woodbury.; for
railroad commissioner, Thomas Ben
son, of Fayette.
The platform as adopted declares
anew faith in the fundamental prin-
icples of the democratic party and
renews allegiance thereto, but this
is as close as it comes to mentioning
the Kansas City platform. 1t de-
nounces the Fowler bill now pending
in congress as an attempt to convert
the banking interests of the country
into a huge financial trust, opposes
government by injunction, finds
fault with the administration policy
in the Philippines, renews the de-
mand for the election of United
States senators by direct vote, de.
mands equal taxation, declares for
the repeal of the mulct law, and the
enactment of a local option law.
Milwaukee, Sept. 4.-The demo
cratic state convention Wednesday
night nominated Mayor David S
Rose, of this city, for governor, on
the first ballot.
John Wattawa, of Kewaunee, was
nominated for lieutenant governor by
reclamation.
The convention adopted platform
which deals mainly in state issues
and denounces Gov. La Toilette
After accusing the Wisconsin state
administration of aiding and abet
ting monopolies, it denounces trusts
and demands tariff revision. There
were two surprises in the platform
one the revival of the ghost of the
Bennett law in the denunciation OF
'paternalistic interference" with the
rights of citizens in the matter 81
schools, and the other an appeal tc
the women of the state to vote
against the republican candidate fol
state superintendent of public
schools on the ground that his nom
nation was the result of trafficlino
in the interest of the state. Silver
and the money question were let
alone.
Sacramento, CAL, Sept. 4.-The
democratic convention nominated
Franklin X. Lane, of San Francisco,
for governor.
