 In a tumultous convention eharac- terized by the most intense factional feeling, the Democrats of Ohio today nominated Judson Harmon of Cincin- natl former Attorneys General of the United States under President Cleve- land, for Governor. and endorsed Will liam Jennings Bryan and instructed the delegates at-large to the National Convention to vote for him for Presi- dent.
 A complete State ticket was nomin- ated, former Governor James E. Camp bell of Butler was endorsed for United States Senator, and delegates and alter nates- at-large to the National CohVeh- tion were selected.
 National issues were left to the Denver Convention and the platform adopted dealt solely with the State questions, attacking the Republican administrator of various State omces and endorsing especially the initiative and referendum in State and local leg Islation and tn e taxation Of franchises.
 Johnson is Worsted.
 Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleveland after having met defeat in the open ing session Tuesday night, renewed his fight against Judson Harmon TOT control of the convention, and was against worsted in one of the most bitter and exciting contests ever Wit messed in an Ohio convention. AL though his victorious opponents. fol- lowers of State Executive Chairman Harvey c. Garber of Greenville, held out to him an olive branch in the ten- der of two places upon the State ticket, he declined to enter into any harmony agreement and strove to prevent the names of any Of his followers being placed upon the ticket '-
 Dramatic and sensational scenes at tended the nomination of Judson liar mon for Governor which was made
 Co hat from his home county was divided against him. He was opposed by Atlee Pomerene of Canton. A. C. Sandles of Ottawa and Isaac R. Sherwood or Toledo. Mayor Johnson nominated ,Pomerene as a man who stood upon every plank in the platform who has always voted for Bryan, and not like some who. in 1896, glorifed fin the downfall of Bryan"
 Alfred Cohen of Cincinnati, who pre- sented Harmon's name said his cahdl- date was broad enough to carry the State for himself and Bryan. and de- clared that Johnson himself was not consistent upon the matter of support ing Bryan.
 During the first roll call there was almost a riot among the Hamilton County delegation, resulting from the in-feeling engendered by John Moi lory secondipg the nomination or POmerene m D6HdlI Ol d hiiiOilNS Ah the delegation.
 The delegation became so wrought m while a poll was being taken that the police were called upon to prevent hostilities Harmon's nomination hung in the balance and Hamilton County could have made 1t certain on the frast ballot but her niney-three votes were divided, 5s 1-2 for Harmon, 32 1-2 for Pomerene and one for San dies. making the total for Harmon 463. or eleven less than necessary Pom creme received 3S1 votes. Sandles 9T and Sherwood 4.
 Congressman Sherwood, whose name had been presented by a man not delegate. and despite protests of the Lucas County delegation, withdrew his name and one the second ballot Har- mon received 512 votes, Pomerene 3Sl and Sandles, 79.
 Notwith standing the refusal of Mayor Johnson to accept harmony agree ment early in the afternoon, as the ses- sion of the convention dragged out. the tension relaxed and the nominations for Attorney General and Treasurer of State were thrown to candidates Known to be favored by the Cleveland Mayor. and when it came to the selec- tion of delegates at-large to the Ma tional Convention, Mayor Johnson was chosen as one of the Big Four" by exclamation.
 There was no fight over the endorse ment of a candidate for united states Senator. The name of former Gov ernor Campbell was the only one pre- scented. A delegate attempted to pre- sant the name of NJ. E. Ingalls, of Ctn- cInnati. but he was ruled out of or der. Upon a roll call being demanded, SAT votes were cast for Campbell. There were 25S votes in opposition to any en- dorsement.
