THE KEYNOTE.
Speech Of Chairman McCann at the
First Session.


First Session.
Columbus, o., Aug. 22.-In his ad-
dress to the Ohio Democratic conven-
ton Tuesday night, Judge b. f. Nc
Cam of Dayton, temporary chairman,
sounded Democracy's keynote for the
coming campaign. Issues, state and
national. were reviewed by the chair
man, who took occasion to call atten-
tion to the work accomplished by the
state legislature at the recent session,
and to criticise what he termed the
shortcomings and inconsistencies OF
the president and congress. Upon the
subject of tariff revision he dwelt ut
some length. Discussing state ques-
tions, he held that bossism is the
chief issue. Lofty tribute was paid
to the character of the late Governor
Pattison, and William j. Bryan was
pronounced the true leader of DEM
ocracy. Judge McCann said:
On an occasion similar to this, a year
ago last May, so intelligent : citizen as
Judge William II. Taft, announced that
Democracy had been so stunned that IT
showed scarcely sign of life; that IL was
unable to frame an issue and so conf
dent was he of the truth of the assertion
that he chose to conhne himself to the rs
sues raised within his own party. In less
than 80 days after his announcement, the

when Chairman McCann called the
convention to order and asked for the
report of the committee on platform.
Thomas e. Powell, chairman of the
platform committee, read the report,
the reading being followed with close
attention, frequent applause greeting
favorite planks. Mr.. Powell moved
the adoption of the report, but before
a vote w. l.. Finley offered his amend
ment as a substitute for the initia-
tive and referendum plank and moved
its adoption. His reading was greeted
with cheers.
Mr. Finley spoke at some length In
support of his motion. j. 8. McMa-

natl, whose compromise substitute be-
fore the committee Tuesday night

presented by him for action by the
convention, followed In support OF the

who spoke from the floor without
awaiting recognition by the chairman,

The discussion was ended amid con-
siderable confusion, the previous
question being demanded. On a roll
call the substitute plank was lost,
b7Sh to S271a. and the majority re-
port was then adopted.
Rollcall was not demanded ON the
majority report. which was adopted
unanimously
Mr.. Finley's substitute read as fol-
lows: I'VE urge tho necessary legis-
lation or constitutional amendment
which Will give the people OF the
state. county or city, by petition of 5
per cent of the votes. the right to
bring any questiop TO a popular vote,

their own satisfaction"

After brief speech by Mr.. Latimer in
support of the House railroad rate bill
Mr. Foraker took the floor in the Senate
Thursday and consumed nearly all of
the remainder of the session in an address
on the same measure. Mr.. Lodge spoke in
support of the practice of granting lower
railroad rates on goods intended for ex-
port than on those used in domestic con-
sumption. Conference reports on the ur-
gent deficiency appropriation bill and the
measure providing for the settlement of
the affairs of the five civilized tribes Of
Indians were accepted. The House sub
stitute for the Senate bill ratifying an
agreement with the lower Brule Indians
of South Dakota was passed, as was
concurrent resolution, including Senators
and Representatives in the bill prohibit
ing officials of the government from pre-
maturely giving out private information
of the government. The feature of the
proceedings in the House was the speech
of Mr.. Cochran, who was given an hour
to elucidate the subject of general de-
bate" on appropriation bills. Progress
was made on the postoffice appropriation
measure, eighteen of the twenty nine
pages being completed. The few amend
ments adopted did not change the amount
of the appropriations to any considerable
extent.
