BUCKEYE DEMOCRATS.

They Meet in Convention at the Stale Capital. Judge Hoadley Named fop Gov* eraop on the Second Ballot. [Associated Press Report] The Democratic State Convention convened at 10 o'clock with the largest crowd ever seen on a similar occasion in Columbus Not more than half the people could be accommodated in the Opera House. The sultry weather and rain made everything disagreeable The contest between Ward and Hoadley for Governor waged fiercely during the morning hours. The convention was called to order by Clsrk Irvine. Chairman of the Central Committee. All preliminary organization was dispensed with, and Hon. John McSweeney, of Wooster, was introduced as the Permanent Chairman, and received with much enthusiasm. The Committee on Resolutions not being ready to report, the convention proceeded to the nomination of Governor. There was great delay in the presentation of names. Sorts were made to proceed to ballot without the presentation of names, but, after a long wait, Senator Thurman crowded on to the stage amid the wildest enthusiasm. Ho followed T. E. Powell, and seconded the nomination of Gen. Durbin Ward.

The names of Judge George Hoadley and Hon. George A Geddes were presented in the order given. The first ballot resulted: Hoadley, 290; Ward. 261; Geddes, 77; J. W. Denver, A Before the result of the second ballot could be announced, a motion to nominate Hoadley by acclamation was carried. He had in the neighborhood of 300 votes, 319 being necessary to a choice. Judge Hoadley then appeared, and accepted the nomination in a ten-mlnute’s address, during which he reviewed his connection with the party, and, although he had wandered at one time with the Republicans to fight the battles of the colored race, the Democracy was broad enough to receive him. He esteemed it a great compliment to be nominated over a more worthy candidate, and believed they could win on a platform whosedeading principles were personal liberty, self -con. rol in temperance matters, and a license system. Gen Ward was brought/In and made a speech, in which he severely rebuked the party for failing to recognize his thirty years’ services, and, not to be daunted, he announced himself publicly as a candidate for the United States Senate. The remainder of the ticket was completed as follows: Lieutenant Governor, John Warwick, of Stark county; Supreme Judge, short term, Martin D. Follett, Washington county; Supreme Judge, long term, Selwin Owen, Williams county; Supreme Court Clerk, John J. CruikBbank, Miami county; Attorney, James Lawrence, Cuyahoga county; Auditor of. State, Emil Keiseweiter, Franklin county; Treasurer of State, Peter Brady, San’dusky county; School Commissioner, Lerov D. Brown, of Butler county; Member of the Board of Public Works, John P. Martin, of Greene county. The convention broke up amid much confusion, at 1:15 in the morning after adopting the following platform: The Democracy of Ohio, in convention assembled, hereby reaffirm the principles of the party, as expressed in the primaries and State and national platforms, in regard to personal liberty, the true functions.of government, and as embraced in the political creed expounded by the great founder of the Democratic party— Thomas Jefferson. The application of these principles to our present condition demands the purification of toe public service, the punishment of the robbers of the public treasury, the equalization of all public burdens, the arrest of the profligacy and extravagance that corrupt the administration of public affairs, and a total change in the policy that has so long bien pursued by the Republican party—favoring individual and class interest at the expense of the laboring and wealth-producing people of the country; and we reaffirm our previous declarations for stable money, the gradual extinction of the public debt, and the payment of pensions to disabled soldiers, their widows and orphans. 2. We favor a tariff for revenue limired to the necessities of government, economically administered, and so adjusted in its applies ion as to prevent unequal burden’, encourage productive industries at home, auord just compensation to labor, but not to create or foster monopolies. 3. The act of the Republican Congress reducing the tariff on wool, while at the same time increasing it on woolen goods, already highly protected, was iniquitous legislation, discriminating in favor of monopoly and against the agri.ultural interests of’the country, and ought to be corrected; and we heartily approve the action of the Democratic members of the Ohio delegation in Congress in voting against that increase. ( 4. The Democratic party is, as it always has I been, opposed to sumptuary 1 gislation and unI equal taxation in any form, and is in favor of the largest liberty of private conduct consistent i with the public welfare and the rights of others, and of regulating the liquor traffic and providing against the evils resulting therefrom by a judicious and properly-graded license system. 5. The abuses of the present contract system in our State penitentiary, by which the products of the labor of convicts are brought in competition with the products of honest labor, to the great detriment or the latter, are injurious and unwise, and ought to be corrected, and the promises of th.e Republican party to abolish this system are shown to be false and hypocritical by its failure to do so while it has the power. 6. The protection of the Government is due to all American citizens, native and foreign bo», abroad as well as at home. 7. We reaffirm the resolutions of the State Conventions of Ohio in 1880, 1881, and 1882, and of the Democratic National Conventions of 1872, 1876, and 1880, demandin" a thorough reform and purification of the civil service, and charge that the Republican parcy has violated evety pledge it has heretofore given for the reform thereof, and has failed during its long administration of the Government to correct even the most crying abuses; and we demand, therefore, a change in the executive administration of the Government itself asthe reform first of all necessary (as made still more manifest by the recent star-route trials), thereby ousting corrupt rings, confederated to protect crime and prevent the punishment of criminals, and by so doing to make it possible again to punish fraud ana theft in the public service.
