Ohio Democrats Hold Turbulent State Convention
In Columbus the Democratic State convention opened with Senator Brice in attendance as Frank H. Hurd led a lengthy tariff reform critique. A heated clash over free silver followed with Brice supporters confronting critics. The platform backed Cleveland’s administration and tariff reform while opposing free silver, and the final roll calmed into a party slate for 1895. Brice said he would vote for financial interests regardless of the convention’s silver stance, noting regional support differences in his favor.
