Correspondence Of The Tribune.
COLUMBUS Ohio, Feb o. 1914.
This day Will long be remembered by thou,
sands of Ohio Wings as one OF the happiest Oh
their lives, for perhaps, never, even IN this STATE
which is somewhat famous for its Conventions
was there assembled body Of men so perfectly
united in opinion, enthusiastic IN their ieeiings'
and SO unanimous in their choice Of candidate
for Governor.
For several days past fears were expressed laa',
owing to the wretched state Of the roads, ana
this being the second Convention called this sea-
son, but few of our friends would assemble; yes
to-day. however, dispelled all such doubts as
every road leading to our city was thronged Win
stages, wagons and horses, many of them carry
ing bands ofmusic with banners flying, and occa-
sionally "that same old COON would show his
face, to remind US of the glorious campaign OF
1910. Last evening enthusiastic meetings were
held at several places where addresses were made
by some Of the ablest speakers of the State, ana
the various Cleo Clubs from Dayton, Newark
&C., delighted our citizens and strangers with
their Wing harmony till late hour of the night
AT sunrise this morning we were aroused rom
our short slumbers by the roar of artillery and by
the shouts Of hundreds and thousands Of the hard
listed farmers and mechanics from the surround
ny country, who came to Join with us IN our
congratulations for the overwhelming Wing veto
ry in old Maryland, and hearty cheers for Harry
of the West" At II O'clock the Convention was
organized by the appointment Of the Hon. IHos.

ones who early secured places within the City
Hall, in listening to the burning eoquence and
the searching sarcasm which rolled from the lips
of the " Buckeye Wagon-Boy,'' in his opening
address. After appointing the necessary com
mittees the Convention adjourned till 3 P. M.
when it again met and passed sou-stirring reso-
lutions in favor Of the nomination and election OF
Henry Clay of kentucky to the Presidential
Chair. About A o'clock the Nominating Com
mittee of l47-being from each Congressional
| Distrct-came in with their report, recommend
ing honest MORDECAI hartley of Rich
land County, as the Wing candidate for Governor
Of the State The report was received with
deafening shouts of applause, and when, after
several minutes, the Chair was able to put the
question of approval, the hearty, universal "Aye"
must have struck terror and dsmay into the
hearts of every Loco-Foco within half mile OF
the place.
During the day the Convention was addressed
by several of Ohio's favorite orators-CoRwIN,
SroRER, WHITE, DUNCAN, ANDERSON, GALLOWAY,
and last though notleast, by MoRDEcAI hartley,
the nominee for Governor, who, in a chaste, plan
speech thanked the Wings of Ohio for the honor
conferred on him, and declared his adhesion to
the great principles Of the party; and that he
might not be misunderstood in forcible manner
stated what they were to the satisfaction Of every
one present. The vast assennblage then adjourned
to meet again at the various polls on the second
Tuesday in October next,

THE BLND.-We ask the attention of our read
ers to the Concert to be given tonight at the Rut
gers Female Institute in Madison, near Clinton
street, by some of the pupils Of the New-York In
stitution for the Blind, to at half past
o'clock. The programme contains Overtures, An
| thems, Solos, Duets and Ballads-some OF them
difficult and requiring thorough musical education,
yet these blind performers, we are assured, can ex-
ecute them in such manner as would DO credit TO
those possessing all their senses. Nothing is taught
them by ear ony-the written music is committed
to memory note by note and is given with an accu-
racv and taste that cannot fail to delight and aston
ish discriminating audience. 10 strangers IN the
city, we would particularly commend this Concert;
another opportunity to hear the Blind may not
occur during the season. The proceeds are TO be
applied TO the purchase of an organ for the Chapel
OF the institution so that while gratifying ourselves
we may aid this charitable object. Tickets may be
procured at the door of the Concert room.
