The Ohio Democratic State convention
held in Columbus was the most largely
attended of any such occasion since the
civil war The new Columbus audito

had just been completed for the conven
tion and its capacity was not equal to

the demand or admission The new au
ditorium was beautifully decorated with
bunting and plants There was a pro
fusion of portraits of Democratic leaders
about the Avails but that of President
Cleveland was not in the collection
When the convention was called to or
der at 10 a m by Chairman Durbin he
congratulated the party on the signs of
the times and the enthusiastic condition
of the party He made a speech for free
silver Prayer was offered by Ivev E L
Eexford pastor of the Universalist
Church and then Hon Ulric Sloane was
introduced as the temporary chairman
of the convention Mr Sloane said in
part
-Silver the Keynote
The people of Ohio and indeed of the
Union are to be congratulated upon this
large assemblage foi it ib a convention
of representatives of the whole people the
masses and not of bosses of trusts of
syndicates or of hired tools of the des
potism of Wall and Lombard street greed
This convention conies from the common
people and owes its allegiance alone to
them In these respects what a contrast
it offers to the late convention at Toledo
for that convention was not called or
ganized or controlled along the lines of
what the fathers of the Republican party
Jtfiught but merely to obey the mandates
TS do the will of Mark Uauna It is ex
pected that your temporary chairman
suau siriKe tne Keynote ot tlie coming
campaign Well that keynote shall be
sounded on a silver chord It will be no
new note but a prolongation of that sound
ed by the national convention at Chi
cago last summer and one that has grewn
in power and volume since carried in a
grand diapason of more than 6000001
voices to the polls last November
Just before the convention was called to
order a large gold cross was carried ntt
the hall It had as ornaments the crown
of thorns and a clock indicating 1G min
utes to 1 oclock The speech of Chair
man Sloane was frequently interrupted
with the wildest
demonstrations of ap
plause especially in hs references to sil
ver
James Gilmore of Eaton presented the
report of a conference had between the
central committee and a committee from
the silver Republicans at which the latter
asked lor representation on the ticket
Judge Gilmore thought tlie matter beyond
the province of tlie committee on rules
and suggested that the convention deal
with the matter A clamor followed
which increased when a similar request
s from the Populists was read W P
HackLey chairman of the Cuyahoga
County delegation opposed in impassion
ed language any concession to either the
silver Republicans or the Populists and
moved to lay the special reports on the
table This proposition was received with
tumultuous applause Mr Hackney pro
ceeded to assert that the Chicago olat
form was broad enough for any one to
stand upon and if any third or fourth
party wanted to get on they could do so
but only as Democrats
Two silver Republicans in tlie audience
arose almost together to ask whether
they were to understand that they were
not wanted Chairman Sloane advised
the gentlemen that personally he would
like to see a lepresemative of that party
on the ticket but he understood the senti
ment of the delegates to be adverse to
recognition The theory of the chair was
V v supported by a practically unanimous vote
Pif the convention
Gen A J Warner president of the Na
tional Bimetallic League and chairman
of the committee on resolutions read the
platform which merely repeats the finan
cial plank of the Chicago platform A
plank denouncing trusts viich had been
agreed upon in committee with the under
standing that it was to be submitted as a
supplementary report was unanimously
adopted by the convention Another re
port recognizing the belligerency of Cuba
was heard with much applause and made
a part of the platform without a dissent
ing vole The anti tiMst plank reads
We declare all trusts and monopolies
hostile and dangerous to the peoples in
terests and a standing menace to the per
petuity of our free institutions and we
demand the vigorous enforcement of all
anti trust laws and such additional legis
lation as is necessary for their immediate
and final suppression

JUDGE COOLEY AN INVALID
Loss of Memory Is Followed
by a Dis
play of Deep Melancholy
It is learned that Thomas M Cooley
who has for many years been one of the
leading leiral lights of the country and an
authority on several
of his special sub
jects has lost his
mind almost com
pletely and that
there is a possibility
that he may have to
be taken to some pri
vate asylum in the
near future For
some time Mr Coo
ley has been gradu
ally failing in health
and for several
thomas si cooley months he has had
to be constantly attended It was only
recently however that his mind becime
affected Judge Cooley was for many
years a member of the faculty of the
versify of Michigan a judge of the Su
premo Court and constituted for some
time the head and front of the Interstate
Commerce Commission
Sparks from the Wires
The State Department has received a
statement from Consul General Lee at
Havana in which he declares his son has
no connection whatever with the prema
ture publication some time ago of the
Ruiz report
Speaker Reed says that he has the
matter of the appointment of the com
mittees under consideration and that un
less something now unforeseen occurs to
change his present inclination he will
prepare the lists and submit them prior

WAR ON ALL BUTTERINE
National Dairy Union Intends frt
Drive It from the Land
Batterine must be legislated out of
the United Suites is the dictum of fhe
National Dairy Union The successful
fight for the new anti butterine law in Illi
nois has inspired the dairymen of the en
lire Wt3t to crush and utterly annihilate
the butter substitute industry They are
going into politics to do it
Right now the creamery proprietors the
butter dealers and the dairy fanners of
the big butter producing States Wiscon
sin Illinois Indiana Iowa Minnesota
Nebraska Kansas Michigan and the Da
kota are being drawn into a compact
fighting organization of not less than 500
000 and maybe more than 1000000 vot
ers and vote controllers They are being
pledged in writing to work unceasingly for
legislation that wtU prevent the coloring
of butter substitutes and to fight the men
in high places who are unfriendly to the
interests of the dairymen
Promises of money contributions go
with the pledge A campaign fund which
would delight the heart of a professional
politician is already in sight If neces
sary a fighting capital of 1000000 can
be raised it is believed before the Legis
latures of these dairy States meet again
This fund will be used to drive tihe but
terine manufacturers from their few re
maining sitrongiholds and if the industry
then find loopholes in State legislation
the organization will move on Washing
ton
AY D Hoard former Governor of Wis
consin and president of the National
Dairy Union is giving the movement all
fihe benefit of his onranizimr ability and
political acumen Charles Y Knight of
Chicago secretary of the National Dairy
Union and manager of the anti butterine
light in tlie Illinois Legislature is secre
tary and treasurer of the new movement
1he dairymen have already done much
to restrict the manufacture of butter sub
stitutes colored to resemble the genuine
dairy article Laws prohibiting the col
oring of such substitutes are now in force
in Illinois Wisconsin Minnesota Iowa
Nebraska Michigan Ohio Pennsylvania
and New York But there are two States
in particular which have no such laws
and which are favorably situated with
respect to tlie packing centers and the
sources of raw material for the manufac
ture of butterint Indiana and Kansas
Since the market for the colored article
is unrestricted except in these few West
ern States wild eh Lave legislated on tLe
subject enough butterine can be made in
Indiana and Kainsas to cut a big figure in
the butter trade of the country Tlw
dairymen expect therefore that the but
terine makers will make a hard tight to
retain their standing in Indiana and Kan
sas and even to have rescinded the anti
butterine legislation in some of the other
States Hence the broad scope of the
dairymens movement to complete the an
nihilation of their enemy
The National Dairy Union is building
up its lighting organization around the
creameries There are nearly 4000 of
these in the north Mississippi valley Each
creamery has on an average 100 farmer
patrons or 400000 in all The price paid
by the creameries to these fanners for
their milk is regulated by the price of
butter The extinction of competition
with butterine raises the price of butter
and therefore of milk It follows that all
fnes e 400000 farmers are expected to be
eager for enlistment in a last rally against
butterine
The farmers who work up their milk
into butteiin their own dairies outnumber
those who sell to creameries They are
expected to take an interest in this move
ment The same view is held of the farm
ers who ship milk to the cities the price of
their product being influenced always by
the price it will bring at the creameries
Then there are the creamery operators
and their employes and the men who
handle butter in the big cities the com-
nwiuu uit n an rnese are interested m
one way and another in boosting butter
and killing butterine This indicates why
tihe active spirits of the National Dairy
Union are figuring on a political army of
1000000 men or more The movement
is being given the widest publicity through
the dairy press Butterine must be leg
islated out of Oho country is the war cry
HORACE BOIES SPEAKS
btatcment of Hia Position in the Cur
rency Controversy
Ill response to numerous queries former
Gov Boies of Iowa has given to the press
a signed statement in reply to the attack
made by Col M D Fox of Des Moines
on the position taken in his last letter
Boies says that his first letter was not an
effort to outline the derails of the plan
he proposed but was to give a general
idea of a plan by which gold and silver
for all -practical purposes could be jointly
and equally used as a redemption medi
um on the basis of the actual commercial
value of these metals He then restates
his plan and saj s that the net result would
be a practically irredeemable national pa
per currency backed to its full face value
by gold and silver bullion held by the Gov
ernment for redemption purposes
No idle reserve in the treasury would
longer be necesnry No greedy specula
tor would approach its doors with notes
for redemption for speculative purposes
No bonds to replenish a useless reserve
would ever again be issued in times of
peace Every dollar of national currency
now in existence would be as good as
gold for the deposit of the full face value
of notes hereafter to be issued would of
itself provide a reserve many times more
than suilicient to meet every demand upon
the treasury for redemption purposes that
would ever be made
Col Fox asserted that the redemption
of the notes in either gold or silver meant
virtually a gold standard for our curren
cy to which Boies takes exception and
says that in a broad and practical sense
It means true bimetallism He then con
tinues with the details of his proposition
and then says that more important than
any question of ratio between the metals
is that of the future character of the pa
per currency of this country
In closing he states that the idle gold
reserve t f 100000000 is as useless as if
buried under the sea juid can be dispens
ed with by the adoption of a bimetallic
system There are graver questions than
10 to crowding upon us
