The Ohio Democratic State Convention reassembled to choose officers and nominate candidates. R. M. Bishop was named governor on the sixth ballot, with J. F. McKinney as chairman and W. Brown as secretary. The platform denounces Hayes, endorses silver, greenbacks, and tariff for revenue, and calls for repeal of the registry law and local self government in the South.

A correspondent recounts a home remedy using hickory ashes and cider vinegar to cure a corn and a wart, with full recovery after a month of nightly beef tallow.
