Thereupon, on motion of VIM. Slade,
the, Convention proceeded 10 ballot for

Mr.. G. said he thanked the Convention
for the honor done him, and the manner in
which that honor had been conferred. 1t
should be satisfactory to any Black Repub-
lican 10 receive the suffrages of Ohio Re-
publicans. But he was particularly graf
flied that the honor had been rendered
spontaneously, and from every portion of
the State. This great State will move
forward in the same catholic spirit that
the election of the humble
speaker before them. That "benighted"
Ashtabula and s'enlightoned' Hamilton
can unite in fraternal friendship on a COM
mon candidate, is a harbinger of the great
result; it is prophetic of the heavy tread
of the Republican power in its march to
success in go. No North and South,-or
'ather there is Norte ard South together. |
This is no time to elaborate, as it is merely
IN interlude to the business of the Con-
'ention, TO enable the clerks TO foot up re-
ults. After again thanking the Conven-
ion Mr.. Carter retired amid tho plaudits
,f the Convention.
Mr.. Spooner being loudly called for,
banked the Convention for his election.

National Convention labor for the selection
# men who should represent truthfully the
Of the Republican party.
