HI STATE CONVENTIONS.
We gave last week the result of the de.iber-
ations of the recent Republican State Con-
~yentios. and hence do not deem it necessary
to publish the official proceedings at length
Gen. j. T. Worthington, of Ross, was Presi-
dent. with a Vice President from each
of the q Congressional Districts, and
six Secretaries. Each Congressional dis
triet selected a member of the follow
ing committees: On Credentials, on Per-
manent Organization and Rules, and on Resolu-
tons. The committee men for this 18th district
were On Credentials, E. T. Small, of Cham
paign Organization and Rules, r. G. Harri-
son, of Clark Resolutions, A. Thomson, of
Delaware. Hon. John Howell, of Clark rep
resented our district in the list of Vice Presi-
dents, and Hon. C. S. Hamilton, of Union, Of
fciated as one of the Secretaries.
The delegates in the Convention from Della
ware county were: L. J. Richardson, John
Dawes, VIM. Davis, r. \. Jones, Isaac Day
and A. Thomson. On the adoption of the
resolution designating Gov. Chase as the first
choice of the Republicans of Ohio for the
Presidency, and recommending him to the
Chicago Convention, Messrs. Richardson,
Dawes and Thomson, voted in the affirmative ;
Messrs. Day, Davis and Jones, in the mega
tive.
When the Convention proceeded o act up
on the resolution, there was considerable noise
and confusion and Judging from the clamor
of the opponents one might have supposed they
composed a majority of the delegates. The
vote by counties showed the true state of the
case, and indicated most clearly what there has
at no time been reason to doubt, that Gov.
Chase is the first choice of q vast majority of
the Republicans of the State. That he is the
unanimous choice Of our Republicans is not
pretended ; nor are Seward, Cameron, Lincoln,
Banks and F%essenden the unanimous choice of
the States in which they reside, though, being
the choice of the majority, they will doubtless
receive the votes in Convention of the delega-
ton of their respective States-and such be-
ing the case, justice, propriety, and a proper
feeling of State pride, dictate that Gov Chase,
the peer of any statesman of the land, should
be similarly honored by Ohio.

The best possible feeling prevailed through
out the sittings of the Convention-the sue
cess Of the cause being the paramount consid-
Grafton and controlling sentiment, with which
personal preferences for candidates were not
permitted to interfere and the delegates sep
aratcd with a firm resolve, that the % electoral
votes of Ohio shall be given to the nominee of
the Chicago Convention.
