CAMPBELL AND
SOUND MONEY.
OHIO DEMOCRATIC CONVKXTOX
KN DOUSES SOl'XD MONEY.
A Strong Position Taken on the Mon
roe Doctrine. Campbell Nom
inated for Oovernor.
In Fpite of Janes E. Campbell's earnest
and repeated protest that his friends must
not nominate him as the Democratic candi
date for Governor of Ohio, as he could not
make the race for various reason?, the ex
Governor was put at the head of the ticket
by acclamation against his will on Wednes
day by the 800 delegates to the Ohio State
convention at Springfield. Th nomination
was forced ujon the Butler county man
while he was in the midst of a speech and in
the act of presenting the name of Judge
Peck, of Ciu"innntti, for the same honor.
Then eanie a -rac-dul acceptance and the
re-t oi the ticket was made up on the accla
mation order. Senator Price won his point
of having only a reaffirmation of the na
tional currency plank inserted in the plat-
lorm, on this "sound money winning by
the sound majority of 255 when the free sil
ver amendment to the platform was put to
the convention.
After the usual preliminary business was
ilisi.ose.l of. Frank Ilurd. the free trade
apostle of Toledo, piese!it"l the majority
report of toe committee on resolutions. It
reads:

Ue cougraiutiite I'resident cievuand that
his efforts in favor of the repeal of these
vicious laws and the upholding of the credit
of the country have been successful. We
congratulate our Senator. Hon. Calvin S.
Briee. for th -earnest and effective support
li" has given to the President.
Wh'-n we consider the fa ts that the Demo
cratic party received from the B'-pul.licans
iu ISttJ a bankrupt Treasury, that it inherit
ed from the vicious curren-y and tariff laws
whidi had prepared nn-l "llnally produce
tin panic ..f is:i:l. we insist that it is entitled
to the thanks of the people for the courage
with which it has attacked and repealed
thse laws:
We re-afllrm th" following portion the
seventh plank of the last National Demo-
rat i' Convention :
We hold to the use of both gold and
silv.-r as the standard money of the country.
and to th" coinage of both gold and silver
without discrimination against cither metal
or charge for mintage; but the dollar unit of
coinage of both metals must be of equal in
trinsic and exchangeable valii'vor be adjust
ed l.y international agreement or by su h
safe legislation as shall ins ire the mainten
ance of the parity of the two metals and the
equal power of every dollar at all times in
the payment of debts; and we demand that
th" pap-r iirr. y shall le kept at par with
and redeemable In su-li colli. ve insi.-l upon
this policy as especially necessary for the
prot'-tioii of th" farming and laboring
lasses, the flr.-t and most defenseless victims
of unstable nioncvand fluctuation currency."
Th- remainder of th" platform relates to
State affairs entirely. The platform was
signed by l'. out of 21 memtiers of the com
mittee, the dissentees lieing A. W Patrick,
of Tuscarawas, and J. W. Lewis, of Cham
paign. These submitted the following mi
nority report to th- financial plank:
"We ib-mand tne luimeoiui" r-.-io. i i ij oi
l iw i.mi iditnr lor the free, coinage and
th
..oi ...b.r of both cold and silver coins.
without discrimination against either metal,
a- provid-d in the constitution, and without
awaiting th" as-.-nt of England or any other
foreign nation."
K roll call was demanded on the adoption
of th" minority report. Th" vote was a
defeat fr the fr.-e silvr rn"U J.T) to 525.

th" p-solution could not l.e considered. In
different forms this decision was chall-iigd
all over the house. Aft'-r a prolonged par
liamentary skirmi.-h th resolution was put
uiH.n its i.as.sa;-'e as an indejndent motion.

not there to intimate that they had no conff

auv ne.-es.-itv arose for the enforcement of
the Monroe "do-trine thre wm no dout-t

Th- resdution was put and carried with a
