The National Democratic Association of Ohio county met last night in their club rooms and transacted some important business. Several committees were appointed and action taken relative to the great sound money meeting to be addressed by Congressman Bourke Cockran, of New York, at the Opera House next Monday evening. An escort of sound money business men was also arranged for and the Opera House band engaged. A petition seeking to have the National Democratic ticket inserted upon the Australian ballot, was numerously signed. If enough signatures are received this will surely be done.
