OHIO DEMOCRATS. Campbell for Governor on a Sound Money Platform. flpr-r*- of Senator Calvin a Brleo on AtMMninc the Choir at the Btote Convention—The Platform— Sliver Defeated. Springfield, 0., Aug. 22. —When the representatives of the democracy of Ohio assembled this morning in the city hall—the amallest auditorium ever selected for a similar gathering in the state—it was with a feeling of doubt and uncertainty as to what events were in store for the day. Well on toward daylight after an all-night conference with his friends, ex-Gov. Campbell announced as his ultimatum that he could not and would not, accept the gubernatorial nomination. This felllike a bombshell among the delegates when they arose this morning, although few of them were disposed to accept the statement as any more final than the previous ones of the same tenor that , have come from the same source. 1 * BRICE ANQ-CAMPBELL. Campbell Receive* au Ovation and Senator Brice .Make* a Lengthy Speech. When Senator Brice appeared on the •stage at 10:15 he was given a fairlj' Co dial reception by the 1,500 • deleft tes and spectators that packed the door and galleries almost like layers ■of figs from Palermo. Ex-Gov. Campbell fol’ owed soon after the senator and took his seat among the Third district delegates. But as soon as he appeared the convention rose as one man and cheered again and again, while the band added to the din with “The Campbells are Coming.” At 10:25 State Chairman M. A. Smalley seal led the convention to order. Prayer was offered by Rev. S. F. Breckenridge, and then amid more cheers. Senator Calvin S Brice was presented as temporary chairman. Senator llrlce’s Speech. Following is Senator Brice’s speech: Qknti.emex or the CosvfcNTiosc—I recogfaito the houor and responsibility of the position which has been assigned me. and shall endeavor to 01! it to the best of my ability, with perfect impartiality, and due regard for the rights of each and every delegate. 1 can only succeed with your forbearance and assistance, upon which I shall rely, knowing that we have,all cotne for the same general purpose — •the success of the democratic party in the state. Wc may, as we often have in the past, differ as to details, and have warm controversies as to the manner in which, tmd the instrumentalities by 'which, we may best accomplish our common purpose, but this year, if ever, the Ohio democracy must tight with unbroken ranks and against the common enemy. MUST FACE TUB alTUATlO*. Wemust recognize the gravity of thesltuation. It is now less than u yoar since wo were beaten in this state by nearly 140,000 plurality; nor was this a local disaster affecting only the paatv in the state. We suffered from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the lakes to the gulf. We were beaten In our stronghold as well as in doubtful places, and it is idle to talk ■of 4its being the fault of any one man, or * a$y single 1 aet of the party, or any of the minor causes that affect political success. The shadow of the great world-wide panic, the industrial and financial depression, low prices for all products, low wages or no wages for workingmen everywhere, despair for farmer and mechanic, I terror and ruin for bankers and merchants, and at the bottom of all a false tariff system ruining in turn manufacturer and oonsuhier, and an unwise and fatally weak currency situation. had thrown over the whole .nation resentment againt the party which 'happened to ■be in power when the disaster came. Millions •of democrats remained at homo-hundreds of thousands in our own state—as a mute protest .against the powerlessness of their president and their congress to prevent and protect them bom these disasters. ,

SAID Tilt PARTY WAB DEAD. Men from all parties, and everywhere, were freely saying that the democratic party was dead—dissolved—gone off into the camps of populists and the socialists, and had become mere wandering bands of fugitives, without union and without hope. There was wild, tierce clamor against the president, against the democratic senate, against the democratic house. So widespread was this feeling of hopelessness .•among our party that we have already lost our majority in the senate, not to bo regained in many years. Our majority of more than 100 in the house of representatives has been reversed, and our membership in that branch of the political congress is a mere handful. Is this the time for those who remain steadfast and loyal to the great party of Jefferson, Jackson. Tiiden and Cleveland to indulge in quarrels and recriminations? Should we not rather welcome all those who are willing to join hands and build the democratic structure on which, as we believe, lies the happiness and .safety for this government and'its people. SDKS THE CLOUDS BREAKING. But gentlemen, does not this convention and the intense feeling manifested by those who attend it, and those who have sent their delegases here, tell the story that a change has come over the public mind: that the democratic party is no longer prostrate: that its fortuues are rising, and that it is quite worth ■while to be in the democratic army, which already has the assured and contident step of a march toward victory? Panic and tear have passed away. The beneficence of democratic legislation has1 already produced and is producing its effects. Faith is rapidly being restored: confidence re-established and business everywhere reviving, and it is now clear | that it is only a question of time, either in No- j vember of this year, or next year, when the : American people will reward the democratic party for its profound service to the republic. THE GREAT PROMISES. The three groat promises made to tho American people In 1892 have boen more nearly fulfilled and carried more nearly into execution than any three promises ever made by any party in any platform. What were they? They were summed up by Samuel J. Tiiden fprty years ago as home rule, sound money, and free trade as nearly as governmental requirements' permit, and under the very,shadow of the disasters brought on by the republics)a laws against which we ^protested and whose repeal we demanded—the force bill, the McKinley bill and the Sherman bill. “These promises were fulfilled. The democratic party repealed and wiped from the statute ■books the force bill, and gave home rule to this •country as far as your national legislature had anything to do with it, and next repealed, un•conditionally, the Sherman silver law, and thereby prevented the absolute bankruptcy of the United States treasury, which seemed imminent. There is no human being whose judgment is entitled to the slightest weight who does not know that the gravity of tho situation, and the imminence of the peril was averted by the repeal of the Sherman law. And the third—and in the democratic heart the most desired—the repeal of the McKinley bill was secured against the wreatest obstacles and the fiercest and bitterest •opposition, add in its place was passed a democratic tariff bill, whieh will long stand as the tew of the land. THE TARIFF MEASURE. I apeak with some fullness of feeling and ■knowledge of this particular bill, because 1 took great Interest In it during its coosideration by the senate. Many of my democratic friends in Ohio were seriously disturbed, some

of them quit* indignant. at my course in the framing of that bill Gentlemen of the cornrent loo, rrhea sen); by you and your associates to repeal tbe McKinley bill, we did not propose to return to yon with the McKinley bill unrepealed, if it My within oar power, and we did not. We had also been sent by you to support the government of the United States, and to secure the best prosperity and happiness to the people of this country. This we could not do if we abolished all taxes, and large appropriations resulting In the bankruptcy of the United States treasury and consequent uncertain ty and ruin of all your ; business, financial anil industrial machinery, j We could, therefore, not consent to the pus- | sage of a bill which did not provide sufficient 1 revenue. Had we done so, tbe confidence of | the country in tbe ability of the democratic , party to administer the affairs of the govern- ; mem would have been destroyed. will provide srrriciKST revenue, • j Mafiy of you believe the Income tax should . be put Into the bill—some demand it. I doubt- j ed its constitutionality. Had I felt certain j that It was unconstitutional, I should have j voted against it; but with th&bill framed with the income tax Included, sufficient rerenue would have been raised during the post fiscal year to pay all the gov ernment outgo—no more. With restored trade, however, it is now clear ; that the bill, even without the Income \ tax, will provide about the amount or money that Is required to carry on the government; and we now have the* satisfaction of hearing from every township and every ward in this state of Ohio that our Judgment as to what should be done in tpe framing of the tariff bill has been affirmed, and confirmed bv events, i and are prepared to go to the country on the democratic party tariff bill with Its effects on trade, commerce, industries and wages, and it is seen that thore is no indication of any attempt any wherc.cxcept by extreme republican protectionists, to again open a question that j will drive from our support thousands, bun- j dreds of thousands whom otherwise would act ; with us. SILVER ASU CLEVELAND. A declaration in favor'of free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to I made by thbseon- j vention would have no practical effect, and It would menu an abandonment and disclaimer of ‘ the splendid results of your administration. I You and I have possibly differed from Mr. Cleveland at some time, and iu some things, as j it v.as our right, our privilege, our duty to do. | • if w® were conscientious in doing so. but * * *] he is the greatest statesman and party | leader of his tlpne. His democracy, his ; honesty, his integrity and his continued atten- j tion to business which constitutes genius have « never been cxeeied. and iu my opinion demo- ; cratic success in ISttf was largely due. as demo- j crutie success in 18‘j8. will also be largely due. to the character of our democratic president, j and to the highest plane upon which he has j sought to place his party and his adiuiuistra- | tion. Do not understand me as suggesting the j candidacy of l*resideal Cleveland for re-elec-tion. No sueh question is now before us. THE ISSUE BEFORE US. You have heard the republican war cry. Their statement that, while both the tariff and silver question will be discussed, neither will be the issue iu the sense of obscuring other questions; that the great paramount issue upon which the battle of both this year and next will be fought will be the record of the democratic party under President Cleveland, that the question wiU be whether It is to be indorsed and its policy continued, or whether it shall be repudiated and its policy ended. We accept this, and on it will make our contest. A QUESTION or (.BEAT INTEREST. But, gentlemen, there is another question In which great interest is felt, about which there is great difference of opinion, and concerning which we may hear more in this convention. It will perhaps not be regarded as out of place, or improper for me. as an individual demo- 1 crat. somewhat familiar with the discussions j aud the conditional to make some suggestions in this convention, which may 'be taken for what they are worth. I have a deep interest in the fortunes of tho democratic party in this state and in this country. I attended my first state convention in 1863. in the heat of the war. when we nominated Clement L. Yallandingham anji George K. Pugh. I participated in the discussions from 186b tp 1876 on other branches of this money question, constantly endeavoring through all these years to have my fe.low democrats come where we all finally did come, to a sound money platform, under the wise -and able leadership jof Samuel J. Tllden. in 1876. and when I see to-day efforts being made to divide the great democattt -party Just on the eve of its revival aud resumption of power, on a theoretical anademieal question, on which no result is possible, I come to this convention to ask full consideration before taking passionate action.

HE CAME TO THGE. I come to urge the party in Ohio to stand on the platform of 1802 on the money question, to let the currency remain as it now is, and not to change our ground without full deliberation at a national convention, and a deliverance from that body. I come to urge that declaration for free coinage would be foolish, because it would be an impotent and idle declaration. It would separate us from the national democracy. The American people will in the end stand by us for home rule, that is to stay.no interference by the national government with the election of the people; for sound money, that is to stay, only tariff made for sufficient revenue to carry on the government economically administered; aud for sound money—that is to 'say. a currency of which all dollars, .whether psiper, or silver, or gold, shall be interchangeable and equally good for their nominal par in the hands cf every man. everywhere, and the democratic party will be assured of a triumphant future. The references of the senator to the money question were loudly applauded, and equaled the enthusiasm manifested when the speaker pro- j nounced his eulogy over President j Cleveland. FURTHER PROCEEDINGS, In Which the Friends of Mr. Drive Are ' Victorious, the Platform in Favor of j Honest Money is Adopted, aud Silver j Slaughtered by » Vole of 535 to 370. The committee on credentials reported in favor of seating the delegation from Butler county headed by lion. .lamesrE. Campbell, and the contesting delegation from Cuyahoga county (Cleveland). The majority report was against seating the delegation from Springfield headed by Hon. J. H. Thomas, Mr. Brice’s competitor for the senatorship six years ago. There were several heated speeches, and then a i*oll of counties was ordered on the question of seating the Cleveland delegation that -had been ousted by the committee on credentials, and which stood for silver. The ballot resulted: Ayes, 367; nays, 339. and the | result was received with great cheering. The convention refused to seat the Thomas delegation from Clarke county by a decisive vote. This disposed of the contests, and the report of the committee on permanent organization. continuing the temporary organization was adopted with a shout. Senator Brice hud not a second speech.in his pocket and so the convention settled back to listen to Frank Hurd, the free trade apostle of Toledo, who presented the majority report of the committee on resolutions. The Platform. The democratic. party of Ohio, in convention assembled, points witb satisfaction and pride to the wisdom of the aetton of that party in the last two years, and the results accomplished according to its promises to-wit: The repeal of the repulican legislation known as the Sherman law the ua-Aiheriean federa* election law and tte McKinley law, from which repeals has resulted in returning prosperity to the country

to uach an extent that even the republican* are pledged to recognixe the same. We congratulate President Cleveland that his efforts in favor of repeal of these vicious lavs and the upholding of credit of the country have been successful. We congratulate our senator. Hon. Calvin S. Brice, for the earnest and effective support he has given to the president in these matters. When we consider the facts that the democratic party received from the republicans in ISPS a bankrupt treasury, that it inherited from "the vicious currency and tariff lava which had prepared and finally -produced the panic of 180S, we Insist that it is entitled to the thanks of the people for the courage with which it has attacked and repealed these lava We reaffirm the following port'ou of the aevehth pi&nk of the last national democratio convention: • We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country. and then coin both gold and silver without discrimination against either metal or charge for mintage, but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value, or be adjusted by International agreement, or by such safe legislation as shall Insure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals, and the equal power of every , dollar at all times in the payment of debts, and we demand that the paper currency shall ba kept at per with and red&mable in such ooin.’* We insist upon this policy as especially necessary for the protection of farmers and laboring cias.ses.-the first and most defenseless victims of unstable money and fiuctuating currency. We call the attention of the people to the methods and practices of “bosslsm" by which the republican party in tjris state has been managed in the last few years, and for examples point to Its history in Hamilton county, and to the final culmination of the same lathe Zanesville convention, and we ask the people, by their votes this fall, to put their condemnation on such practices. We denounce the last legislature as corrupt and unworthy of the confidence of the people, and we submit to the voters whether they wish to perpetuate this condition of affairs by pl.ycfng the republicans again in power. We view with alarm the large increase in indebtedness throughout the state by counties municipalities as authorised by the last legislature, and the increase in the last few years in the tax rate, and we demaud economy in expenditure and conservatism in the iucrease of debt. The platform was signed by ID out of 21 members of the committee, the dissentients being A. VV. Patrick, of Tuscarawas, and J. M. Lewis, of Champaign. These submitted the following minority report to the financial plank: -\Vc demand the Immediate restoration of Jhe law providing for the free coinage and legal tender of both gold and silver coins, without discrimination against either metal, as provided in the constitution, and without awaiting the assent of England, or any other foreign nation." * DlSCCSstXO THE AMENDMENT. Twenty minutes only were conceded to each side for argument, and ex-* Senator Patrick, of Canal Dover, led off for silver. He declared that the democratic party had.always been the party and the friend of the white metal, and it could now go back on its record. They ought not to vote the sentiments of the "‘cuckoos,” who were arrayed against the cause of the common people. It was a ‘fight of the millionaires against the millions, of the plutocrats against the people, a fight of the poor man’s money for restoration. “Your gold is *in the hands of the very rich,” shouted the venerable speaker, and as he turned in the heat of his oratory toward Senator Brice, the convention appreciated the force of the reference, and yelled and laughed to its heart’s content. L. A. , Russell, of Cleveland, also spoke for silver, while Frauk Hurd spoke briefly, but to the point for sound money. He insisted that an Ohio democratic convention had no right to change the declaration of the national convention of the party, and he denied the right of the convention to change the obligation and the duty that rested upon the conscience of honest democrats to support the national platform. If they wanted to change, and to enforce their sentiments let them go to the next national convention. R. D. Marshall of Dayton spoke afterwards for harmony, and a roll call was demanded on the adoption of the minority report. The vote stood: For silver amendment to the platform, 370; against, 535; majority for sound money, 255.

FORCED ADMISSIONS froUctloabt Orgau Compelltxt to At* kMvUdt* Bettor Tim* Coder the Wit* •oo BUL The. most belated of republican or* fra ns have been compelled to admit that times are getting- better ano. that wages hare been advanced in some in* dustries. The unfair and false statements accompanying these admissions, in many protectionist organs, both discredits and disgraces them. Thus these organs of monopoly tariffs appear to be in a league to deceive the voters as to the actual effects of free wool. Wool being by far the most important item put npon the free list, the republicans are (as well they might be) greatly concerned about the industrial and political outcome of free wo<4 The industrial effects are already manifest in the rising prices of raw wools, the building of hundreds of new mills and the advanced wages in scores of old mills. The republican organs hope to prevent the logical political results by misrepresenting facts and by deceiving voters. They are conspiring to give the general public the impression that the free wool expert men t^has been a failure. The Manufacturer, organ of the Manufacturers’ club, of Philadelphia, is one of the meanest of the many mean high tariff organs. In its issue of July 15, it says that “substantially all of the increase in wages that have occurred have been in iron industries and those grouped with them." It concludes its calamity howl by saying: “This is so far the rule that it emphasizes the simple fact that other manufacturing industries have shown practically no recovery from tue sharp competition and depressed conditions prevailing since the early months of 1893. In the textile departments there has been little restoration of the severe reductions which generally had to be made, and none is now in sight. The reduction of the import duties was made by the Wilson bill in face of the knowledge that it would depress wages, and there can be no general recovery of these until its mischiefs are remedied.” What now are some of the facts well known to the editor of the Manufacturer, and to most other republican editors who persist in howling and in misrepresenting? 1. During the first six weeks after the Wilson tariff became law the Wool and Cotton Reporter contained seventy mentions of “new mills," 123 of “enlargements and improvements," 142 of “mills starting up" and only five (or possibly nine) legitimate shut downs, j This is a record never equaled during the four years of McKinleyism or during the whole thirty years of high protection. The benefits of free wool were manifest at once and the good effects spread immediately to other textile industries. __ 2. During the first six months of 1893 the Wool and Cotton Reporter records 201 new textile m)lls, divided as follows. • Woolen, thirty eight; cotton, seventy-three; knitting, fifty-seven; silk, sixteen; miscellaneous, seventeen.

vanees from September, 1894, to June 30, 1893, recently published and widely circulated by the tariff committee of° the Reform club, mentions twentythree firms that advanced wages from September 1 to December 22, 1894: thirteen of these were textile mills, a large proportion being woolen mills. By April 30, 1893, ninety-nine advances had been reported, fifty-nine being in textile mills. More than one-third of these were woolen mills. By June 30, 1895, 322 advances were reported, at least 109 of which were in textile, about fifty 6f . which were woolen, mills. 4. Some of the mentions on this Reform club list include whole groups of mills. Thus one mention, includes six woolen mills in Philadelphia; another all of the cotton manufacturers in New Bedford, Mass.; another all those in Fall River, Mass. Altogether about 100,000 workers in textile mills had their wages increased between September 1,1894, and April 30, 1895. This number has increased considerably since. x 5. Strikes for increased wages are on in manj- mills, the textile workers in the great Olneyville (R. I.) district have been out for months; advances have been granted or offered in many eases. Right in Philadelphia, under the nose of the Manufacturer, a strike for a 7X per cent, increase of wages has been on for some time by the 3,000 ingrain carpet weavers in sixty-one mills. The j Manufacturer of July 20 notes that the I manufacturers have offered to grant ! the advance on December 1. It was ! not, however, mentioned (as to the ! Philadelphia dalies) that sixteen firms j have already signed the strikers’ : schedule, and that over 1,000 hands i have returned to work in them at increased wages. These are some of the stone-wall facts against which the howling protectionist dervishes are constantly butting their pates. Millions of voters are watching this butting process and admiring the hard pates of the protectionist editors and their still harder consciences which permit them to deny facts published in their own columns. . Byron W. Holt. He Hill Speak When it U Too Late. Even republicans are poking fun at Gov. William McKinley, candidate for republican nomination to the presidency. He will cross half a dozen states to speak for -protection as to which everybody is now indifferent, but he is as dumb as an oyster on the silver question as to which every republican wonld like to hear him. When the occasion arrives on which he shall think it safe to speak on this subject, no one will care to hear him.— Staunton (Va.) News. Reached the Pacific Coast. The revival in business in the east is reaching the Pacific coast. The daily increases in wages in manufacturing establishments beyond the Rockies have just been followed by a voluntary advance of 10 per cent, in the steel department of the Pacific rolling mills. Almost all of the leaders in tbs local Iron trade recognize the improvement in the condition of tne industry here.— San Francisco Examiner.

THE GLASS INDUSTRY. iriM Prediction* That tha THUon BIB Would Kata tha HuIbm* Proran Ftha The plus industry was one for which l.he tears of pood protectionists were earnestly desired when the Wilson bill :"educed the tariff on imported piaSa. - Under the enormous duties, reaching in some cases 15) per cent., imposed oh If lass by the McKinley tariff, a large number of factories were shut down • luring the usual working season, and wages were reduced in Detroit and nther cities It was claimed by the protectionists that the Wilson tariff would ruin the glass industry, but the results have been just the reverse of those predicted. In a recent editorial the Nation Glass Budget says: “The situation remains encouraging in that promised future business will continue the general improvement which has been in progress for several months past. The closing down of factories seems to have been generally delayed this rear, indicating that there is a demand being made upon all branches of industry exceeding that of former years. Concerns which last year ceased operations in May and early in June are now still inactive operation, and in marft" instances the announcement has been made that vacations will not commence until July and August.and some have even annouuced that the factories will not be closed at all. Institutions that have been idle for months and years are daily being put in operation, many being and having been re-equipped with new and modern machinery, and whilq the remainder of the summer may be a comparatively quiet season there is every reason to believe that the fall will'' bring one of the most vigorous and general resumptions ever known in the history of the country. On every hand preparation for such is being made.” This proof of the condition of the glass industry under tariff reform is from a non-partisan trade paper. Among the idle factories to which the Budget refers as about to resume work is the Windsor glass works at Homestead, Pa., which was closed shortly after the McKinley tariff went into operation. The three or four hundi|»d glass workers who will be employed in it, and the thousands who will get steadier work and higher wages in.the various other factories, will- vote in 1S96 for the party of low tariffs and prosperity.—Exchange. SMACKS OF THE DEMAGOGUE. Au Old Chestnut Rntusht to the Surface as s "Blind” Leader. The American monopolist revives the high tariff chestnut that in twenty-six republican states wages in 1300 ayeragedS1.33 per day. while in eighteen deraoei-atic states wages averaged only 87 cents per day. and claims that this is evidence of the beneficent effects of protection. The fact that the alleged statistics are untrustworthy is not of much importance, for cooked figures are the principal stock in trade of the high tariff jugglers. But the monopolist’s statement is in itself the clearest proof of the falsity of the claim that high tariffs make high wages. For it is certain that the great and glorious McKinley tariff was the same all over this country. The workingmen in Alabama and Vermont were protected just as much as those of Massachusetts or Illinois. There was no difference between the burdens of taxation laid on California and New . York. Yet the rate of wages varied in every state of the union, though not according to their political complexion, as stated by the monopolist. Why? The protectionists who pretend that wages depend on tariffs, has never tried to explain how it comes about that the same high tariff policy produces such varing results in different states. Not only that, but in the same states, for wages in various parts of New York state, for instance, differ as widely as thev do in Georgia and. Pennsylvania. Will not some protectionist copae forward and clear up this mystery? If not, the natural inference will be that protection does not and cannot raise wages, and that the pretence that it does is a piece of demagogy by which the working people were deluded iuto voting for the higa taxation policy.

FREEZING. A Republican Daily Ulvlnsr MtKlnleyUm the Colil Shoulder. The Chicago Tribune, one of the leading' republican organs of the west, refuses to join with its high tariff contemporaries in their claim for the restoration of McKinieyism. In a recent editorial that paper shows that it realizes that the drift of public sentiment is against returning to protection, and advocates an increase in internal revenue taxation to meet any deficit in the public revenues. Tha Tribune’s conversion to sound economic doctrines is further emphasized by its statement that there is no way in which the revenues can be so easily increased as through direct taxes. This change of position on the part of a republican paper is important as evidence that the logic of good times is convincing the people that any further agitation for high tariffs and trade restriction would be injurious to the business interests of the country. Newspapers reflect the sentiments of their readers and patrons, and if a prominent Chicago daily finds it expedient to oppose republican tariff tinkering, it shows that the business men of that city are satisfied to let well enough alone. Of course the narrow partisan papers, which are paid tc spread lies by the monopolists who were benefited by McKrhleyism, will continue to publish what their owners dictate. Tint the independent press ia finding that the tide of commercial prosperity is running too strong to check it by demands for the high taxes and commerce " restriction which caused the panic of 1693-94, and therefore avoids the tariff question or favors tariff reform. Iu either case these papers furnish proof of the wisdom ol the tariff reform policy. The Howie*.
