OHIO DEMOCRAT* CONVENE?

CoMwinrs, O., Sept. 'JO.—Tho democrat state convention met at 10 a. m. Weflnesilny, with Hon. Frank Hnrd, of Toledo, as temporary chairman. Regarding the division of the party on the tariff question, Mr. Hurd said: "First and foremost, I give credit toGrover Cleveland anil John G. Carlisle. Free wool 1m worth more to tnrift reform tbau nil other provisions of-tho law lmt touotlier. To their credit bo It suld, tho Ohio democratic memberB in lha..hous_' mood firm, voilug for free wool. When by cue word lie could have defeated freo wool, morn credit is flue Senator Hrico than to any other influence or to all other Iniluences combined."

Tho Briee faction was strongest in the. convention and controlled the committee on resolutions. This destroyed the hopes of those opposed to liriee of securing the passage of a resolution censuring' his course in tho senate on the tariff bill, Senator liriee threatened to resign his seat in case such resolution was passed, and thus allow Gov. MeKinley to appoint a republican in his place. Summarized, the platform adopted is as follows:

The Plat form.

it praises "the efficient, economical and honest administration of President Cleveland ," declares "protection a fraud, and while recognizing the benefits of tho reduction of duties on Imports just made by congress favors such further reduction us can bo made, to the end that purely protective duties be. abolished declare* that the McKlulev low'caused the business depression, reduced tho revenue and led to tUe necessity for issuing more government bonds, business failures, strikes, low wages, low prices for (arm. .products are enumerated as the result of the MeKinley law. Under the new tariff business is declared to be reviving. ••We dissent./' says one plunk, "from the president's views, construction and treatment of tile silver. question and believe that silver should be restored to tho position it ocetipied as money prior to its demonetization by the republican party, and to that end wo favor the unlimited coinage of silver at the leifal ratio of sixteen to one and with equai legal-tender power/.'

The platform deuou iees the last general astsettibly of Ohio.Oov, Mclvtnley'b administration and tho American .Protective association. It favors liberal pensions, a law limiting the amount of money to bo expended by candidates. and a law prohibiting free passes on railroads.

A Ship lit liriee.

A minority of the committee on platform reported in favor of adding1 to that document proposal to elect United States senators by tho people. This was presented by Congressman "Tern" Johnson, one of the leaders of the antM'.ricc faction, and was taken to be in direct line of censure of the senator for his course during- the tariff debate in the senate.

When Congressman Johnson presented his resolution for the election of senators by the people the audience cheered for a couple of minute#, tn a brief address in support of the Resolution, lie sai I that the senate was getting too far from the people, and that this was tlie only way in which it could bo brought eloser. This sentiment was applauded.

Severely Scored.

It remained for J. II. Clarke, of Youngstown, ono of the best orators of the party, to stir the convention to its depths "What one of you," he demanded, "looks upon the United State:", senate as displaying the best intelligence and manifesting the greatest patriotism? When a senator of tho United States is to be elected the question is no longer: 'What is his worth? What are his talents? What service has he done the state?' but: 'How much is he worth?'

Pandemonium broke out when the speaker had got .this far. The majority of the delegates and spectators cheered themselves hoarse, others hissed, and there were shouts of "rats" and "soreheads." The speaker tried to raise his voice above the tumult, and, finally succeeding, he continued: "In this republic) should the length of a man's head be measured by tho length of his purse? No. this'ijuestion rises above man and above party. It Is a question of country. You ail know that the senate of the United States has become a mere rich man's club, it is the resting place of trusts, understandings and combines to defeat the rights of the people. You know, all of you, that in the senate of the United States the sugar trust has raised its hydra head and, In the namo of the community of trusts, has seized the national democracy by the throat and compelled it to stand by and deliver,"

A Wild Scene.

Here the pandemonium broke out afresh. There were cheers, hisses, shouts of "rats," "go on," "sit down." Twenty points of order were raised and on every one the chair ruled that the speaker was within his rights. Hut the. minority kept up its demonstration, and iinally with a closing appeal for every-day, old-fashioned honesty in politics, he resumed his seat.:

Voted Down,

Jesse M. Lewis, of Urbana, made a passionate appeal to the convention to defer the resolution for a year and not to turn the puns from the common enemy to tho friends in the rear. It should not go on the paper of history that the democratic party acted as executioner lirst and ofl'ered a trial afterward The senator who had been assaulted was entitled to consideration. lien. Finley. of Uucyrus. said the 'resolution was an indirect slap in the face of one of the men who, in the senate of the United States, had stood between the people and the MeKinley la w. and it was an insult to the democracy of Ohio.

The Brlee Faction Win*.

When the -excitement and tumult had subsided, the addition to the platform providing for the election of United States senators by the people was pushed to a vote. An amendment was submitted that all after the first paragraph he stricken out. thus making the resolution simply read: "We favor the election of United States

senator by direct vote of the people." Three attempts were made to call tho roll, but the confusion on the Moor oompelled tho clerk to desist in disgust. Delegates mixed with each other electioneering and dickering. Finally quiet was restored, resulting In the adoption of tho amendment striking out tho portion referred to by vote of 407 to B'2£. The platform as amended was then adopted by a viva voce vote, several hundred delegates voting in tho negative.

Free Silver Uphold.

Pending1 discussion 1?. T. Gorman, Tom Johnson. V. P. Klino, A. J. l'earson, J. Tyler, Frank Hurd and John 11. Clark, of the committee on platform, offered another minority report to the effect that the democrats of Ohio favored honest money, the coinage of ffold and silver, interconvertible without loss, and opposed the proposed coinage of these metals at ",(! to 1. The anti-froe silver proposition was defeated by a vote of 4»U to 3m.

The Ticket.

Nominations were made as follows: Secretary of state, Milton Turner, of Guernsey supreme judge, James 1), Ermston, of Hamilton state school commissioner, James A. Leeeh, of Franklin member board of public works, Harry 13. Koffer, of Tuscarawas. The convention adjourned sine die.

FOUGHT

VAMT HAY.

Khan(i 11 ai, Sept. *J0.—Early reports of the great naval battle in Vain bay between Japanese and Chinese forces have been confirmed. Both sides are yet claiming the victory. Tho loss ts very heavy on both sides, the Japanese having three vessels sunk during the engagement while the Chinese lost two, including the flag ship, Chin Yuen, the pride of tho Chinese navy. Early dispatches reported the loss of this boat, but it was supposed it had been confounded with the' hao ung. The latter was rammed so hard that she was beached in order to avoid capture by the Japanese.

The Chinese claim they defeated the Japanese fleet. This claim is not entirely indorsed by the correspondent at Port Arthur, which lies across the Gulf of Corea from the scene of the engagement, lie says ho has seen some of the Chinese ollicors who took part in the battle, and from what he gleaned from them it is apparent they did not believe their fleet had been victorious.

Some half a dozen of the Japanese war ships put into Port Arthur after the fight. Ail of them were badly damaged and were full of wounded. It will require considerable time for the vessels to elVeot the repairs necessary to make them again serviceable.

Chinese Version.

The battle was fought on the bay at the mouth of the Yalu river. The Chinese troops were the Second Army corps, compose 1 entirely of llnauc.se. According to the Chinese version there was no thought of surrender on either side. The ships of both nations, it is admitted, were terribly damaged. The Japanese had the advantage of the weather berth and so maneuvered that both the Chinese war-boats and transports had to fight it out.. The Chin Yuen, after fighting her guns to the last, was sunk l»y torpedoes anil a smaller Chinese vessel, which was unarmed, was blown up.

he steel cruiser Chao-Yung,

it is added, was so damaged that site hail to lie beached to escape capture. The cruiser Yang-IIel was also driven ashore, and has become a hopeless wreck. The Chinese claim that three Japanese warships were sunk, but their names are not given in these dispatches. The news of the naval battle has caused intense excitement, and it is believed that if the Chinese admit this much the actual facts must be very serious.

Started by the Jap*.

The fight was started by the Japanese, who attacked the transports conveying Chinese troops to Corea. Nothing was seen of the enemy until the mouth of the Yalu rivor wa„ reached. Then a lleet of war ships was reported to be in sight and bearing down for the Chinese squadron. Signals were hoisted and the Chinese ling-ship ordered the transports to make with all possible speed for a place of safety. Signals were also set for the Chinese lleet to ciear for action. This order was promptly obeyed. In the meantime the Japanese squadron was coming up rapidly, making directly for the Chinese vessels. The transports had run in toward shore, and hurried preparations were made to send the troops ashore. Many of them were landed before the battle commenced. Tho Chin Yuen, ono of tho most powerful vessels in the Chinese navy, fired a shot at the Japanese as the latter came in range of her guns. The lire was promptly returned and soon the Chin Yuen was hotly engaged with two large Japanese cruisers, one of which is said to have been the Chiyoda. The other Japanese vessels got into the positions they desired anil the fight then became general. For six hours the battle was waged furiously, the deep boom of tho big guns commingling with tho sharp reports of the marine rifles. Nearly all tho vessels on both sides were engaged for the whole six hours. (iuus Well llitndled.

The splendid cruiser Chin Yuen took a prominent part in tho engagement. Her Krupp and Armstrong guns were well served and she poured a hot and well-sustained fire from her auxiliary battery. One of the Japanese vessels discharged a torpedo at her. The missile sped well from its tube and struck the Chin Yuen fairly. When it exploded it. was apparent that it had done great damage, for tho Chin Yuen began almost immediately to settle. Her crew, however, stuck to their guns and delivered some effective shots before their vessel sunk. The belted cruiser King Y'uen met with a similar fate, being struck with a torpedo and sinking shortly afterward. Many of the crews of both vessels went down while still standing at close quarters. Only a few of thoseon board were saved, and it is reported that 000 oflieers and men were drowned by the foundering of these two vessels.

Knorniouii Lost of Life.

After the Chin Yuen and King Yuan had gone down the cruisers Yang Wei and Chao Yung ran aground while maneuvering for position. Then they were helpless and a destructive Are was poured into them from the big guns of the Japanese. Somo of tho Japanese warships devoted themselves for a time to the transports which had not time to get out of range. It is believed that several of the transports were sunk, including one from which the troops had not been landed. It Is estimated that the total Chinese loss in killed and wounded was 1.500. It is reported that the Japanese loss was 1.000 killed and wounded. It is impossible to learn the names ot
