surer, lMward KldgelV! uttorney general,
William S. formiin: trustee of state univer
sity, S. II. llubey, c. E. Uttbcock and
August Niehaus.
Tho convention was bitterly ngalust (iov.
Altgeld and the Chicago platform, and It had
no hesitancy iu declaring Its position. The
platform omitted any reference to Uov. Alt
gold, ulthough Monday night it was the In
tention to allude to him lu terms more or
less pointed. He was denounced by many
of the speakers, however, and President
Cleveland's name wus cheered every time it
was mentioned.
The platform bus but little to say regard
ing sliver, but wns uncompromising iu ill
declaration for the gold standard. The plat
form demanded "thu retirement of the Lull
ed States government from the banking busi
ness aud gradual redemption and cancel
lation of the I'uitad States and treasury
notes." The Itepubllcan convention at HI.
Louis was deuouueed as being In the control
of "Intriguing uttorneys of fuvorite inter
ests," and the Chicago convention was de.
dared to have been dominated by "ugltutors,
socttouallsts und demagogues." The "shame
ful demand tor a debused dollar" of the
latter convention was denounced unsparing
ly. One plunk ot the platform lauded Presi
dent Cleveland uud nnothcrdoclnrod uncom

cratle and Revolutionary.
Tho etate convention af the national Hem-
cratic party was called to order fct Columbus,
O.. August 27, by ex-Congressman Joseph IV
Outqwalte. It represents tho Ohio Demo
crats who favor the gold standard. Mr.Outh-
waite said the state convention which was
called some months ago "by the usual auth
ority, gave us a weak and narrow plan bor
rowed from tho Populist.
When the convention renssembled there
were 2'9 delegates Jn attendance, represent
ing every county In the state. There wns
also a large number of spectators. John II.
Clark of Young-town wns Introduced as the
permanent chairman and made a strong
speech denouncing tho Chicago platform as
uu-Democrotle and revolutionary and mak
ing an appeal tor the preservation of the
principles of Democracy as represented by
Jeflerson, Jackson, '.lilden and Cleveland,
The speech created great enthuslnsra ami
the reference to Cleveland was vociferously
cheered.
frank Ii. Gorman, of Cincinnati, was
chosen permanent secretary. Thu resolu
tions protesting against the action of the
Chicago convention ns unwise, unpatriotic
and undemocratic, seeking to divide the peo
ple into classes. The crowning foily ol the
Chicago Convention was declared to be the
debasing of our standard of value by the
free coinage of sliver, "Not at a commercial
ratio to gold as has heretofore been done, but
on the bold and false assumption that gov
ernment can, by Its net, create value where,
by the universal sense of mankind, such value
does not exist, thus proposing to wrong all
I'lastes by coining money debased lu quality
nnd fluctuating iu value."
The resolutions declared for the mainten
ance of the present gold dollar us the Ameri
can standard of value and the use of sliver
ns money, and Its colnnge and circulation In
such quantities only us can be kept at parity
with gold.
The resolutions nlso commended "The
wise, j atrlotle and courageous administra
tion of President Cleveland," nnd condemned
ns unpatriotic, and undemocratic the refusal
of the Chicago convention to approve tho
same.
Alter the adoption of the resolutions dele
gates and electors-iit-liirge were chosen as
follows:
Delegntes-at-large-Hon. Joseph If. Outh
