Columbus, O., Aug. 26.-The demo- cratic state convention met here today and nominated the following ticket:

 lieutenant -Governor-Fr R Niles Toledo.
 Supreme Judge-Edward D. D5mp- sey, Cincinnati.

 School Commissioner-J H. Secrest. Ottawa.
 Member of Board of Public Works I. H. B. Jones. Ironton. United States Senator-Joha II. Clarke. Cleveland.
 l The Johnson programme was carried out completely. After the opposition 1 had obstructed the proceedings with i minority reports for some hours the name of John l.. Zimmerman of Spfngheld, was not presented for the l gubernatoral nomination. and then every nomination on the state ticket was made by exclamation without op- position. Even after tho chair an- ncunced that the name of Tom L. Johnson was the only one before the 1 convention for governor there were some dissenting Zimmerman votes on i the motion to rrake the nonrina ton unanimous but the Zimmermen men | quit after the selections of governor ana senator were made. Still the op- | position by various obstructive move 1 h1ehts Kept the convention in continu- ouS session for about seven hours When the minority reports Were pre- sehted from the committees the only fight that worried the Johnson man i asers was on the senatorship The ! only ballots forced on the dominant element were in that contest The. hAhorlty report on rules and order Of | business, which was intended to orllits the endorsement Of senatorial cl.lSi-k ] dates 'sfe2tef by a vote or ysaS yeas to 446 nays and that was con | sidered a test vote between Johnson and Zimmerman after all the contested seats had been decided in favor of the. l former.
 On naming the man for senator the Johnson men were divided among themselves. Mayor Johnson and ex- Congressman LentZ have been very close personally and politically for years. but most intensely bitter feel ing existed between them today, at least on the part of Lentz, who openly accused Johnson of favoring for sena- ter man who had voted against w. J. Bryan. The Zimmerman men had intending voting for Clarke, the John son candidate for senator, as he rep resented their conservative views, but when Lentz opened the fight on John son on the senatorial candidate the Zimmerman men resumed their ob- structlve. tactics and voted for Lentz Tor senator, thus driving the Johnson men to the second ballot
 After the first ballot, which resulted. Clark 335 Lentz 222. Saltzgaber 125. Baker II and Russell 14 the Johnson men made a terrific effort on the floor or the convention to name Clarke on | the second ballot
 The vote for Saltzgaber represented the ultra silver men who were the
 most evident supporters of Johnson,
 but who said they would support no
 man who had voted against Bryan.
 M. k. Ingalls, of Cincinnati had been
 endorsed by the Hamilton county dele
 gates for senator and was the choice
 or the Zimmerman men but Ingalls,
 ana the unseated Hamilton county
 delegates, although in the city did not attend the convention.
 The result of the convention leaves
 the party organization eighteen to
 three in the hands of the Bryan-John- son element for next years convention
