The State Convention of the Prohibition- 

 ists was held at Columbus, June 14th. There 

 were divided councils in the party, a strong 

 movement being made to omit the nomination 

 of candidates and concentrate all temperance 

 work upon the adoption of the prohibition 

 amendment to the Constitution. At a prelimi- 

 nary conference, held June 13th, the question 

 was thoroughly discussed, and the majority 

 present determined on putting a ticket in the 

 field. At the convention, therefore, a full 

 ticket was nominated, as follows: For Gov- 

 ernor, Ferdinand Schumacher, of Summit 

 county ; for Lienteriant-Governor, H. D. Og- 

 den, of 'Hamilton county; for Supreme Judge, 

 Z. 0. Payne, of Franklin county, for short

 Knox county ; for Clerk of Supreme Court, J.

 General, J. W. Roseborough, of Fulton county ; 

 for Auditor of State, Gersham Lease, of Har- 

 din ^ county ; for Treasurer of State, J. M. 

 Whiting, of Huron county; for Commissioner 

 of Common Schools, H. A. Thompson, of 

 Franklin county ; for Board of Public Works, 



G. Z. Cruzen, of Hardin county. 



The Democratic State Convention was held 



at Columbus, June 21st. The interest turned 

 wholly on the nominntion for Governor, there 

 having been a very keen preliminary canvass 

 in the interest of Judce Hoadly, Gen. Durbin 

 Ward, and Judge Geddes. The interest was 

 intensified by the appearance of ex- Senator 

 Thurman as a delegate, and by his earnest ap- 

 peal in behalf of Gen. Ward. It was, however, 

 unavailing, Judge Hoadly being nominated 

 on the second ballot. The following was the 

 full ticket nominated : For Governor, George 

 Hoadly, of Hamilton county ; for Lieutenant- 

 Governor, John G. Warwick, of Stark county ; 

 Supreme Court, short term, M. D. Follett, of 

 Washington county ; Supreme Court, long 

 term, Selwyn N. Owen, of Williams county ; 

 Clerk of Supreme Court, J.W. Cruikshank/of 

 Miami county ; Attorney-General, James Law- 

 rence, of Cuyahoga county ; Auditor of State, 

 Emil Kiese wetter, of Franklin county; Treas- 

 urer of State, Peter Brady, of Sandusky coun- 

 ty; for School Commissioner, L. D. Brown, 

 of Butler county ; for Board of Public Works, 

 Martin Schilder, of Ross county. The plat- 

 form favored "a tariff for revenue, so adjusted 

 as to encourage productive industries at home, 

 but not to create or foster monopolies " ; pro- 

 viding against the evils of the liquor-traffic 

 " by a judicious and properly graded license 

 system " ; abolition of the contract system in 

 the prisons ; and civil-service reform. 



A State Convention of temperance workers 

 in the interest of the prohibition amendment 

 was held at Columbus, July 24th. This was 

 designed as a protest against the action of the 

 Prohibition Convention which placed a Prohi- 

 bitionist State ticket in the field. It passed a 

 series of resolutions, the significant one being 

 the following : 



That inasmuch as the practical effect of voting for 

 the first amendment will be to favor license ; and of 

 voting for neither of the amendments will be to vote 

 against prohibition ; and the practical effect of voting 

 for both will be to practically diminish the probability 

 of securing the necessary majority for the second, we 

 most earnestly entreat that each vote be cast for the 

 second amendment and that only. 



Election. The political canvass that followed 

 was one of great earnestness, and engaged more 

 general attention than any election for State 

 officers in many years. An unprecedented 

 feature was the part taken in it by the women. 

 Under the lead of the Women's Christian Tem- 

 perance Union, whose headquarters were in 

 Cleveland, the whole State was organized in 

 behalf of the second or prohibition amend- 

 ment, without regard to party lines. A cam- 

 paign paper was published, and campaign lit- 

 erature thoroughly distributed by the women 

 and their sympathizers. House-to-house can- 

 vassing by women was general, and on elec- 

 tion-day the women were at the polls in many 

 parts of the State, both in the villages and in 

 the large cities, distributing tickets of all the 

 parties' with an affirmative vote for the second 

 amendment. The election was held on Tues- 

 day, October 9th, and resulted in a complete
