270, reaffirmed the financial plank of the Democratic national convention of 1892 and indorsed the administration of President Cleveland and the coursein the Senate of Calvin S. Brice. The nomination of Campbell was made in spite of his most earnest protests. He

had the floor when he was interrupted by Dr. James A. Norton, who presented a motion to suspend the rules and nominate James E. Campbell by acclamation. Mr. Campbell protested and raised points of order amid the wildest scenes of cheering and yelling for Campbell. Campbell said he had run for Congress three times in & Republican district and twice for Governor in a Republican State, till he wasdepleted financially and otherwise unable to make the race. He insisted on the nomination of Judge Feck or some other good Democrat who could make a good race and afford to make itSeconds of the nomination of Campbell! rolled in. Chairman Brice ruled that the.

motion of Dr. Norton to suspend the rule* and nominate Mr. Campbell was in order. M. E. Ingalls, who had previously opposed Campbell, made a strong plea for him as the winner. The motion of DrNorton was put and carried with a great whirl of enthusiasm and Chairman Bricedeclared Mr. Campbell the nominee for Governor. The ticket was completed as* above by acclamation. Platform Adopted. The Democratic party of Ohio, In convention assembled, points with satisfaction and; pride to the wisdom of tho action of that party in the last two years and the results accomplished according to Its promises, to-wlt: The repeal of the Republican legislation, known as the Sherman law, the un-Ameri-can Federal election law, and the McKinley law, from which repeals has resulted returning prosperity to the country to such am extent that even the Republicans are obliged: to recognize the same. We congratulate President Cleveland that Ills efforts In favor of the repeal of thesevicious laws and the upholding of the credit of the country hnve been successful. We congratulate our Senator, the Hon. Calvin S. Brice, for the earnest and effective support he has given to the President In these matters. When we consider the fact that the Democratic party received from tho Republican* In 1892 a bankrupt treasury, that It Inherited from them the vicious currency and tariff laws which had prepared and finally produced the panic of 1593, we insist that It Is entitled to the thanks of the people for th* courage with which It has attacked and repealed these laws. We reaffirm the following portion of the seventh plank of the platform of the last National Democratic Convention. “We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country, and to the coinage of both gold and silver without discrimination against either metal or charge for mintage; but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must bo of equal Intrinsic and exchangeable value, or be adjusted by international agreement, or by such safeguards of legislation as shall insure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals and the eo.ual power of every dollar at all times In the payment of debts; and we demand that the paper currency shall be kept at par with and redeemable In such coin. Wo insist upon this policy as especially necessary for the protection of farmer* and the laboring classes, the first and most defenseless victims of unstable money and fluctuating currency.” We call the attention of the people to the methods and practices If bosslsm by which, the Republican party In this State lias bees., managed In the last few years, and for examples point to Its history In Hamilton county and to the final culmination of the same In the Zanesville convention, and we ask the peoplc by their votes this fall to put their condemnation on such practices. We denounce the Inst Legislature as corrupt aud unworthy of the confidence of the people, and we submit to the voters whetherthey wish to perpetuate this condition of affairs by placing the Republicans again in power. We view with alarm the large Increase ofIndebtedness throughout the State by counties and municipalities, ns authorized by the last Legislature, and tpe Increase In the last few yenrs In the tax rate, and we demandeconomy In expenditure and conservatismIn the Increase of debt.
