The renomination of Governor Camp bell had been conceded by his oppo nents since last evening, but they stur dily determined to refuse, after the formal results should be assured," the time honored courtesy of a unanimous nomination. The vast music hall in which the convention was held- was packed to its utmost long before the hour of meeting- arrivea. The decora tions consisted largely of the American colors which draped the pillars. wd. leries and boxes. .

The Ramif delegation generally protested against me report oi tne committee and sup ported tne minority report. The ma jority report of the credential commit tee was overwhelmingly adopted. nairman r'inley of the resolution committee submitted a majority report uu iia.biuriu.

V We are opposed to all class legisla tion.and believe in a tariff levied for the sole purpose of producing a revenne sufficient to defray the legitimate, ex penses of the Government economically administered.

Ihe minority reoort was niatji 399i nays to 300f yeas, and the plat form as reported by the maioritv of the committee was then adopted by accla mation. The nomination of a Governor was the next thing in o der, and ex -Congressman John F. Rollette, of Cincin nati, placed in nomination Lawrence f rn ' f Ros9County- S. D. Dodge, 7'.. c VD'auu' nominated Virgil P. Kline, of Cuyahoga county. There was one wild, enthusiastic, deafening cheer , Pl&use when Gen. Michael Ryan, of Cincinnati, arose to nominate Gov. Campbell. Hatsjwere flung into t"he air, handkerchiefs were waved and urn brellas swung in" tune to the wild ac claim of enthusiasm which swept over the convention. After John A. Richie, of Lucas county, had seconded Camp bell's nomination, and A. R. Bolin, of Pickaway county, had seconded NeaPs nomination, the role was finally order ed to be called. From the very befiin- nmg Campbell easily led all his competitors. . The announp.mont of each delegation was receivfl with cheers by the friends of the particular candidate who received a maj'ority of the votes. When Hamil ton rnn n t.v was reached and Campbell even r- ceived four votes from the stronghold of the opposition, his friends cheered themselves hoarse with anthusi&m Hamilton county gave lour for Camp bell and fifty-five for Neal. When the result was finally announced, shnwfno- vu.LuMuwj.x b uuuiiuauuu, Liiere was another repitition of the wild scenes of enthusiasm of the day.

The motion was quickly put and declared carried on a viva voce vote, the Neal men failing, to demand the yeas and nays. The Hairi ilton men voted "no" in chorus, how ever, and as if to emphasizw their market for another pound, of pork or auukuer oarrei oi flour:' a measure wnicn couldn't be forced down the mroat of the reluctant Senate until sugar-coated with the old Democratic doctrine of a reciprocity doctrine nnauy, though feebly, embodied in the bill in spite ol opposition iiuui luegreaiumo protectionist, in ms recent speech of acceptance, this same champion of higher protection said : "We follow the tariff teachings of Washington ani Hamilton, of Clay and Webster, of Lincoln and Garfield."

The tariff of to-day is at the rate of 57 per cent.; the tariff of Washington was 7i per cent.; the pro tection sought bv Clav wan for th hfln- efit of infant industries; the tariff to day increases the protection upon in dustries which have been coddled for more than ninety years; the protection of Garfield, t quote his own words, that kind of protection which leads to ultimate free tr'ade.'"

We 'are op posed to the enactment of all laws which unnecessarily interfere with the habits and customs of any of our people which are not offensive to the moral sentiments of the civilized world, and we believe that the personal rights of the individual should be curtailed only when it is essential to the maintenance of the peace, good order and welfard of a community.

Lher?ar? no fu-ther developments to-day in the matter of shortage in the accounts of J. Rowan Rogers, late sheriff of Wake. Nothing of a very re liable nature can be gathered until a full investigation can be had, which Is now In progress. Rogers and his friends earnestly insist that the defi ciency was the result of not beine al lowed credit for insolvents which he claims he was unable to collect. The bondsmen express a r willingness to make good any deficiency that occured by neglect or otherwise at the hands of the sheriff. Up to 11 o'clock to day, about 220 certificates had been issued by the liB oi me auperior Court to direct tax claimants. The entire number in theround numbers is eighteen hun dreds. One of the claims presented at the c-.cuunve omce ior payment to dav amounted to four cents. The partv however, had another elaim as agent' and a lumping business was made of it!

Weaver advanced outstretched painv "We are with you. vuiyuei, utjurt ana soul." At this the large, audience literally went wild. The ghost of - the Third party haunts the pillows of many in our land by night. ; Let me say that we have had Third parties started, but the farmers did not start them. They were started by Btraight-oui Jeffersonian Democrats and not Alliance nemnomto Yet these fellows are wondering if the Alliance is going into the Third party movement. We have a good example to go into the Third party, although the result of those parties are not very encouraging to us. If there - is a Third party Inaugurated in the South S1' Polk" very decidedly, It will be due td the dominating pros pective and Intolerant spirit of so-called Democratic leaders. I bave been a consistent Democrat since the war and now I don't want to interfere with par ty lines, but I have just this to Bay : We want justice and we are going to have justice. If we can't get it as true Alli ance men.we won't hesitate to wipe the oldparties out of existence.na more than we will hesitate to wave our hands. If a Third Party is established it will be nothing but the blind work of the old parties. Col. Polk , bitterly attacked Cleve land for surrendering or try ing ? to surrender the people to Well Street and the money power," and said that the Alliance would carry the standard of the peonies' Hcrhta t the front and meet and overwhelm Cleve land and Sherman and all the other forces that monopoly could muster. .
