V, STATE CONVENTION.
The Platform Demands Fre Coinage
of Silver and. Election of Senators
by Direct Vote of the People
-The Attack on Senator
Brice Most Dramatic V
- i Scene The i Tf'-et
Nominated.
Columbus, Ohio, Sept., VJ By a large
majority the Democracy Ohio, in
State convention' assembleil to-day, '; re
versed the pronunciamentofl of all pre-
vious State, as well
ings of the party, in il
itional gather-
u iug unequiv-
ocally in favor of free silver. By a vote
almost as large, endorsement was given
through the medium of an indirect reso;
lution to the attitude taken by Senator
Calvin S. Brice in the recent tariff re
form contest. The debate on these two
iospea occupied nearly four hours of the
continuous session. .In twelve miniutes
more, the entire ticket bad Jbeesn nomi
nated andthe convention bad adjourned
sine die, ' ;
Probably no more drainatie scene ha
ever been, witnessed: in any Srate or
National convention than that whch oc
curred during the debate on the amend
ment to the platform providing for the
future nominations of United Stactes Sen
ators by vote of ; the State conventions.
Up to the callir-g of the convention to
ordert had been understood by all
bua few of the uniniated that the
opposition to Senator Brice had been
abandoned and that the majority report
of the c ommittee on resolutions would be
allowed to go through without amend
ment or protest. This much at least was
the understanding of the Senator and hia
immediate circle, and it was with a self-
satisfied air and the bearing of a victor
that benator imce entered the Wings
and allowed himeelf to be escorted by
Chairman Crites to a seat on the right of
the chair and in full lyiew pf the audi
ence. His appearance was recognized
with faint applause and the convention
having been called to order, everything
went as merry as a marriage bell until
the report of the committee on resolu
tions had been presented.Then the
storm clouds begun to gather, and the
glare of the footlights seemed to bring
the form of the junior Senator into bold
relief. From his seat in the second row
of the parquet te, Congressman Tom L.
Johnson arose, and ignoring the vocif
erous demands that he should take the
stage, submitted the minority resolution,
instructing the incoming btate commit
tee to include in the business of the next
convention the nomination of a United
States Senator. I
This was the formal announcement of
hostilities. All eyes seemed to turn in
stinctively towards the junior Senator.
For a moment his face nushed, and - he
chewed nervously at the- toothpick be
tween his teeth. Ihen he straighlened
himself up and his j demeanor indicated
self possession Jand ! the utmost determi
nation and resolution, the representa
tive from the" Cleveland district, how
ever, had little to say. in addition to the
formal presentation of the minority re
port, save the suggestion that election of
Senators by the people would "bring the
constituents and their'- representatives in
the Upper House more closely together,;
and that this was a consummation neces
sary and very much to be desired. j
It was the seconding speech of John
H. Clark, of Youngstown, one of the
best orators in the State, and a bitter op
ponent of the Brice regime, that sent the
excitement to the: fever notch, ii landing
rjusl beneath the! platform, Lib silvery
hair shining in the glare ofj the foot
lights, with outstretched arm and index
finger quivering,: hurling invective after
invective, while; less than fifteen feet
away, with face pale and expressionless,
sat the object of his wrath and denunci
ation, the scene was well worth the
brush and canvas of the painter. j
"Who has a' -claim on the United
States Senate for life?" he demanded,
and the audience shouted in response:
"No one." j - . 1
"No longer is it the question," con
tinued the speaker hi impassioned tones,
"when a Senator is to be elected, what
are his talents? What service has I he
done then State? The only issue is how
much is he worth? In this republic is a
man's head to be measured by the length
of bis purse? i Is it not time that (this
question! rises above men and above
party. Do you not know that the United
States Senate !has become a rich man's
e,lub? That it is the resting place of
trusts and understandings and combines?
That in it thej Sugar trust baa raised Its
hydra-head and in the name of the com-
tjiunitv ci trusts, has seized tne uemoc
f acy by the throat and compelled
to
stand and deliver?"
And so to the accompaniment of
cheers, hissed, cat calls, yeljsand oppro-
bi ious epithets, the impassioned orator
went on, protected time and again by
tho chairman until he had concluded of
his own free will. ' '
Meanwhile Senator Brice sat immoveJ
fthle. The accuser was quivering, the
accused might be likened to a black pf
marble. I No1 direct reference to him had
hppm made un to this time. " It remained
for his first spokesman, Jess M. Lewis, of
Urbana, to make a personal reference to
the Senator that had been assaulted, and
to plead that the Democracy of Ohio
ought not to execute a man first and try
him afterwards. : .
"Won't you defer judgment for a
year?5! he asked, but the answer came in
a mighty shout of "No." :
Then Gen.) Finlay, chairman of the
committee oh resolutions, secured the
floor to dramatically declare that the
resolution was an indirect slap in the face
of the man and all men who in the Sen
ate of the United States had made tariff
reform a possibility and who had stood
between tbe, iieople and the McKinley
law. , . V
Congressman Johnson closed the de
bate. "1 have no ill-feeling toward, or
suspicion of Col. Brice." he declared.
"He is my friend and. I am counted in
his circle. Bie visits my houae and I
visit his and J hope we will long conr
tinue tpi do so X don't believe mat ne
bought hfesaatin the United States Senate
and I have said &o time and again. Nor
do I believe that the Taruf bUl jnst passed
was the best bill for the eountryf but at
the same time I believe that CoL Brice
thought so and that he voted for it hon
estly." '. ' x .
This was pouring oil on the troubled
waters and the friends of the Benator
cheered again and again, x , ,
The previous question was demanded,
but just at this juncture it was devel
oped thai the bimetallism element had a
minority report with which to oppose
the free alver plank, and another war
Ol woruo was ui uiuwi --- -
Allen W. Turman, son of the feld Ror
man, denounced the opposition as gold
bugs wh( lacked the courage of their
convictions, and, without response, chal
lenged them to defend their position.
Bimetallism was buried and free silver
proclaimed victorousby a rote of 468
to3!9. -
On the Senatorial issue a motion to
simply declare in favor of the election of
United States Senators by a direct vote
of the pebpk was carried by a vote of
4fi7 to 328 the Briee opposition polling
65 votes imore thai the'one-third. of the
convention, conceded to it last night.
W ith the announcement of the vote,
"SanatM- uBrice without a change of
countenance, arose from the chair he
had occupied for four hours and, looking
neither" to the right nor to the left,
stalked across the stage and through the
wings to the outer air.
Meanwhile Chairman Hurd had called
for nominations for the State ticket.
Speeches were barred. ;: In twelve min
utes the ticket had been completed and
to the musical accompaniment of '"The
Campbells Are Coming" perhaps inimi
cal in the face of the fact that the ex
Governor's friends are charged with the
responsibility of the ; attack upon the
Senator, the convention Ad jammed.
Following are the nominations: Secre
tary of States, Milton Turner; Supreme
Judge, James D. Ernston; State School
Commissioner, James A. Leech; Member
of the Board of Works. Henry B. Keff er.
That part of the platform dealing with
National issues is as follows:
"The Pemocracy of Ohio, in conven
tion assembled, hereby expresses its
hearty commendation of the efficient,
economical and honest administration
of President Cleveland. ; !
f'We adhere to the declarations of the
Democratic party in its National plat
form, that protection is a fraud, and we
recognize the. beneficial reduction of
duties on imports just made by Congress.
We favor such further reductions as can
be made," holding in view the revenue
necessary to be raised for tne support of
the Government to the end that the in
justice of purely protective duties be
abolished. We congratulate the country
upon the repeal of the McKinley ! tariff
and the enactment of a tariff law in its
rad, under the operation of which trade
aiid business are reviving and the country
again becoming prosperous. - i
We dissent .f rem the Presidents
views, construction and treatment of the
silver question and, therefore, believe
that silver should be restored to the posi
tion it occupied as money prior to its de
monetization by the Republican party.
and to that end we fay or the unlimited
free coinage of silver at the legal ratio of
lb to 1, and with equal legal tender
power. - -
The Democratic partv has always
been the champion of equal rights and
religious liberty. It has ever; been bos
tile to political proscription On account
of religious opinion. We, therefore, de
nounce the American Protective associa
tion and all organizations which make
religious belief a test of political prefer
ment, .
"We favor liberal pensions to worthy
soldiers, sailors and marines, their wid
ows and orphans." I
1 he other portions of the platform deal
with . State politics, lome space being
given to denouncing the McKinley ad
ministration and the recent Republican
legislation of the State. i

The despatch states that the Chinese
Admiral Ting's fleet left port on Friday
evening to convoy seven steam trans
ports conveying a large force of troops.
A number of Europeans in the service of
the Chinese admiralty accompanied the
troops, which were to be landed near
Wipi, from which point they were to be
sent to the front. These troops comprised
some artillery, but were mostly composed
of infantry. Nothing was seen of the
enemy until the Chinese fleet reached
the mouth of the Yalu river, when a fleet
of Japanese warships was sighted. There
upon the transports were hurried for
ward and the warships were cleared'! for
action. The efforts of the transporte to
land the troops were successful and most
of them were gotten ashore before the
naval battle began. ' j

open fire and was soon engaged with two
Japanese war ships of about the same
size, one of which is supposed to have
been the Cruiser Chiyoda. Soon all of

At a lalje! hour it was reported
from Philadelphia that application had
been made for a receivership by a stock
holder named f Levin. - It subsequently
transpired that Levin owns ten shares of
the stock. This naturally robs the suit
ofnnuch of its importance so far as Wall
street is concerned. President Benedict
when seep to-day said he knew nothing
about the matter. The market closed
firm and to 11 per cent, higher on the
day. In the inactive stocks Louisville
and New Albany and Chicago, preferred,
rose 2 per cent, to 125. Morris and
Essex was unusually active, and on
dealings of . 700 shares sold up to 160.

Chicago, Sept. 19, There was an
agreeable change in the wheat market
late in the session to-day. The dull mar
ket which prevailed during the morning
hours gave place at noon to one of ac
tivity. Wheat started steady with very
little outside inquiry and with an inclina
tion on the part of pit traders to" pound
the market j The traders put a bullish
interpretation on Bradstreefs visible suc-
! ply figures and rushed to sell, with the
i result that the market quickly declined.

crop in history to date. The bears are

Washington, Sept. 19. The- large
number of women clerks dismissed out
right in the Treasury Department during
the past few days has attracted consid
erable attention here. It is said to mark
a new policy in treasury appointments in
the future. Of the clerks so far dis
charged futijf .five-sixths have been
women clerks 6f the high salaried grades.
The vacancies
of the women
created by the discharges
will be filled by the ah-
"pointment
of
mea." The -flood tide of
women clerks in the treasury has been
reached and henceforth, it is eaid, that
men will usually be appointed to the
higher places.! Some divisions are said
to be seriously crippled from the heavy
preponderance of women clerks, and in
some rooms where the ledgers are very
heavy they have to be lifted into place
and shifted as occasion requires by the
men in the office. As a rule, it is said,
the women clerks are absent on account
of sickness much more than men clerks,
which has had . a potent influence in
causing the change of policy, as to ap
pointments npw being inaugurated.
Orders have been issued to hurry the
work on the Detroit at Norfolk that she
may sail for phina in compliance with
Secretary Herbert's directions as soon as
possible. Secretary ! Herbert is de
termined that the Detroit shall sail from
Norfolk for Gibraltar, her first stopping
place, by October 1st. i The Machias will
probly not leave New York until several
days later, and as she is to stop a short
time at Cadiz and Rome in order to re
turn the Columbian relics, the Detroit
will not w&ii for her, as waa first in
tended, but 'fvill push on with, all pos
sible speed through the Mediterranean
and Indian oceans and make a record
voyage to China - ! "
Surgeon General Wyman, of the ma

The construction of the Shin Island
Gulf quarantine station will soon be com

of the Chandeleur Island station, which
was destroyed by the" hurricane of

ten or twelve miles from Biioxi Mis
