Ci.F.vi'.i.ANi ) , O. , July 15. .fames E. Campbell -
boll Is rotiominatod for governor nnd the
anxiety of the party leaders is now directed
to tlio absorbing query , "Will Hamilton
" "Bounty support the ticket ! " If the Cincin
nati delegates In tholr manifestations of re
lentless opposition and hostility today truly
'
represented the fe'etlngs of tholr people , then
the conclusion Is general that a considerable
portion ot the democratic cohorts of Hamil
ton county will not rally to the support of
Governor Campbell In the next election.
On every possible occasion , ns well
nfter as before Campbell's nomination was
assured , the mere mention of his name was
BUfllclunt to provoke vigorous hisses from the
Cincinnati delegates. Even when his nomi
nation was formally announced , and Mr.
Kllno's friends , In accordance with the tlmo-
uonored custom moved to make the nomina
tion of James K. Campbell unanimous , the
Hamilton county friends of Mr. Nor.l pcr-
Istontly rafused to permit the seal of har
mony to bo stamped on the record , nnd
loudly voted "No1' ns they hissed the name
of the nominee.
It Is almost a proverb In the political lore
of the state that "As Hamilton county goes
In the autumnal elections , so goes tlio state
of Ohio.1' If this bo accepted as the infalli
ble rule the Importance of harmonizing the
discordant elements in Hamilton county may
j well merit the anxiety of the democratic
" TcMilors. Iho nomination of nClnclnnati man
for the ofllco of supreme Judge , It was hoped ,
would to some extent alloy the hostility of
the Hamilton county delegates to the candi
dacy of Campbell , but whether this do-
slrcd effect will be realized . is alto
gether problematical and can only bo de
termined by timo. It must bo stated
that the Campbell majority managed the
invention with consummate tact. The
kuottj parliamentary questions were quicltly
and decisively disposed of by rulings gencr-
cridly to the advantage of the dominant fac
tion nnd roll calls on points of oruer nnd ap
peals from the chair's decisions were averted.
At thn saino time thu majority received with
nil the philosophical resignation of tbo victor
the taunts and accusations that were thrown
nt them nnd their candidate oy the anti-
Campbell factions , thus probably avoiding u
row which would likely have resulted bad
nil tbeso glbos been returned in kind.
The persistent refusal of Nenl , Governor
Campbell's defeated opponent , to appear he-
fore tbo convention and to tell how ho stands ,
oven alter n committee had boon appointed
to convoy him the formal Invitation , has con
tributed moro than anything else to the Jcol-
ing of anxiety whicn provndos the democratic
hosts this availing. It Is generally the or
deal iiiilicted upon every defeated candidate
that ho must mount the stage nnd tell how
gratified ho Is after nil that such a good
man as his opponent has received the ncml-
nutlon , but Mr. Neal persistently refused to
"
_ dergo this ordeal , and the question now is ,
was'thls refusal actuated by mortlllcatlon
nnd wounded pride , or does it mean thatNcal
throws down the gauntlet and will permit
his Hamilton county friends to light Gov
ernor Campbell at the polls ? Upon thit
answer to this query largely depends the
question of democratic victory or dolo.it In
the coming election.
Called to Order.
Promptly at 13:30 : Chairman Norton of the
state central commit tee called the convention
to order , and Rev , J. W. Campbell Invoked
the divlno blessing upon the convention.
Chairman Norton then formally opened the
convention In a brief but strong address. Ho
denounced the republican party and the McKinley -
Kinloy tariff pill In Iho usual terms , and as
sorted tbot everything good under the consti
tution was In Undemocratic p.irty. Ho closed
with a eulogy to llou. Allen G. Thurmnn and
Introduced his son , Allen W. Thurmnn , as
temporary chairman.
TIinrinan'H IMon to the Farmers.
Thurmnn , after a few preliminary remarks ,
launched forth with a denunciation of the re
publican party nnd Its methods. Ho paid
particular attention to the acts of the last
congress , which ho denounced for the enact
ment of the McICinloy tariff bill and tbo sub
sidy bills and its oTorts ( to pass the force bill.
Continuing hu said ;
The time H near wlmn the puop.lo will o\-
piess their bullet In .complete and not ru
st rioted reciprocity ! when tlioy will no longer
Fiistatu any party which levies und collects a
dollar In taxes over and above that which Is
retuilrod to wl-ioly and economically adiulnls-
, tor the affairs of government ; when thojr will
give duo notice that Infant Industries that
been nursed for a hundred years have
arrived at an ago when they must take care
of themselves ; when they will brand u uro-
tootlvo tarllT as sitoallnir , Its advocates as bog-
liars , and demand that wo must have a tarllT
for loven uu only.
I most earnestly beseech the farmerswhoso
Interests are identic.illy the sninu ax my own ,
to follow this course and give up thu wild
EChumi'H ot the government loaning money
upon warehouse eertltleates or upon the tak
ing possession f the railways and telegraphs
liy thu government , , thu Internal Improve
ments that they demand , and a dozen other
minor Issues that all lead nut only to
greater taxation , but to the rankest kind nf
socialism. 1 say to them , put them 10 ono
Hide nnd stick to the turlir Issue until you got
what Is duo you.
In closing , Thurmnn characterized the Mc-
Klnley law as class legislation ot most vicious
tendencies. As an Illustration ho instanced
tin which for fifteen years had been pro
tected by a 'M per cent duty.
Thn I'orwnni nt Organization.
The committee on permanent organization
reported that ox-Congressman l.ulUaiul bad
been selected ns permanent chairman of the
convention. Thu committee escorted La-
Bland to the chair. Chairman l.clllaud's
speech was brief and to the point. Ho
thanked tha convention for tbo houor con
ferred and then proceeded to denounce the
0 last republican congress for Its bad legisla
tion ana 1U attempts to pass thu force bill.
Gnnorul Armstrong of Cleveland moved
thnt the convention adopt tno picture of a
victorious rooster as the device to designate
the democratic ticket , the recent ballot re
form law requiring the selection of some
device. The motion was adopted by acclama-
"on ,
i ) glinting of llin Wrangling.
The IS rat contest In the convention arose
over the report ot the committee on creden
tials. Tbu dispute In tbo Twonty-tlfth ward
of Cincinnati nud tbo Hamilton county dele-
cation wa-s the subject of the wrangle. No
body but the Hamilton county delegates ap-
tjturoil to fully understand tbo polnu in ills-
pute nnd T.J. Coognn * secretary of the con
vention , started to make an explanation.
' Sit down I You are not n delegate ! "
shouted ono of the Hamilton county men.
"Tho chair decides that the secretary , ns
an onicorof this convention , Is entitled to bo
heard , " said Iho Chairman , nnd nn appeal
from the decision of the chair was ruled out
of order.
Secretary Cooiran made his statement amid
many Interruptions from the Hamilton
county iloleg.iU's nnd was replied to bj Judge
Ermston of Cincinnati. 41oth factions used
many narsh words and thu chalt man finally
called upon the scaracnnt-ut-urmsto maintain
order by suppressing anv recalcitrant dole-
gates.
James E. Neat moved the qiiontlon , and the
minority report was overwhelmingly defeat
ed. and Iho majority report of the credentials
committee was tticn adopted.
The PI itl'orin.
The minority report of the committee on
resolutions was rejected byVM4 \ \ nays to
'MMWt yeas , nnd the following platform as re
ported by the majority of the committee was
adopted ,
Tbo administration of Governor Campbell
Is endorsed for its honesty and economy

IC'hi'urs ] I am sent hero by a large body of

renomlnato our present , worthy , excellent
governor lion , .lames V . Campbell. [ Pro
longed applause ] It bus been Intimated by
bis unemlus that Governor Campbell was not
always a ilemoer.it. That Is true. When a
youni ; man , In a. republican district. Mir-
roundud by republican Inllnenens , ho was n
republican , but. when his consciousness und
his reason taught him better he had thu eoui-
auo to become a democrat. Thousands of the
best mun III thu parly today are not demo
crats to thu manor born , but like Governor
Campbell are doiuoi-ruts ) ) orn of conscience ,
conviction and Intelligence.
Hut how did ho prove his democracy. When
the llntlur county district wua republican ,
when the democrats wore looking for a man
to put up against II , \ > . .Morry , they pluked up
Jimmy Campbell and ho showed such fluhtini ;
qualities us a democrat us to wrest thu dis
trict fiom the gninp of the republicans. And
then these woouy goody republicans , who are
maklii ! ? such a tuirlblo fuss about what wu
h. ivu done. Kerryiiiiindurud that district and
In older to keep our gallant young leader
from getting to congress again , they put up
lr > CO republican majority against him , Hut
hu did not weaken woith a cent. 1 stood by
his sldu when hu accepted a renumlnatlnn ,
and In a speech to an enthusiastic gathering
of democrats , hu promised to overcome that
I.MO mjijorlty. And It was no idle boast , lie
did ovuruumu It and won the election , boating
one of their strongest lupublleans , John Mt-
tle , by two votQs. [ Alipluuyu. ] Was not that
a pretty good test of his democracy ?
lint why noi'd I go bank MI tar ? Two years

full tldu of his power tiiid glory In this state.
Kin rounded by his cohorts , an army of olllce-
hnldurx of his own maklni ; , and backed by thu

tumpt to seek to defeat I'or.ikur. Hut never
theless wo put up James K. Campbell a.-alnsl
him , Why. It was like putting up David to

Now , my friends , lion many moro h.intlsms

dential contest. Thuy fear tbo verdict of the
state next year , They dread u recurruncoof

In company with his father und brother ,
ho stopped hero off and on until last

going to that city to meet Gadd , ho toolc
stops to have him arrested as soon as he put

produced In the district court this afternoon
when the case of the State vs. Birdsall was
culled. The case was the fifth and last of
the celebrated perjury cases us published In
yesterday's Blip. W. L. Greene , attorney
for the defense , moved to quash the indict
ment found by the grand jury on the ground
that the jury was selected irregularly from
tbo voting precincts , and therefore its work
was illegal.
This fell llko a comet over the bar and
Judge Hamer adjourned court for the time
being and took counsel with the leading at
torneys present.
In a fbw minutes court was called to order
and the judge sustained tbo motion , and all of
the Indictments of the grand jury were then
declared annulled , but the ruling * would not
effect the persons who bad boon
tried and found guilty. Birdsall , who
has boon held with four others , was
discharged , the others being found guilty
yesterday. Each of thorn , Joseph Baltzor ,
George A. Uoyco , Thomas Comstock. and J.
B. B. McWerthy were sentenced to ono year
In the penitentiary nud to pay the costs of
the prosecution.
Gustavo Schanck , who was found guilty of
obtaining money under false pretenses , re
ceived n llko sentence. All of the men have
families. Several other criminal cases were
stricken from the docket by the order. '
A mandamus case brought hero from
Broken Bow , In which the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance union sought to compel the
city council to revoke a saloon granted to

Just before the ndjournraentof court u long
decision was handed down in the Kearney &
Black Hl"s bond injunction case in favor
of the railroad company. The matter
Involves $75OUO which the city voted to

built per agreement and when tno bonds
were asked for an Injunction suit was
brought , restraining the city from issuing
them on the ground of fraud in the election ,
charging that money bad been used , to buy
votes and other Irregularities. The trial
took piico in May and the litigants have
been in suspense as to the outcome of it , The
chances are that it will bo appealed to the
supreme court.
