REPBBLIeAN STATE CONVENTION
ATCOLUMBUS.

met at Columbus on the 1st inst, to Sc
lect four delegates at large toayepresen
the State of Ohio in the ChiSago Con
vention.
The Convention was harmonious, anc
had no difficulty in selecting delegates
We learn from the reports in the Gin
cinnati papers of Friday, that every
county in the State sent up full delega
tions, with a numerous retinue of out
siders. The morning was occupied
chiefly by the district delegations, in eau
Gus, for the arrangement of committees
and for the selection of candidates.
Every district in the State seemed de-
sirous of presenting some favorite can
didate, and opinions were SO divided
that it was difficult to predict the result
of ballots in Convention.
In the afternoon the Convention pro-
ceeded to ballot for one delegate at a
time. On the second ballot Hon. d. K.
Carter of Cleveland, received PSI votes,
and was elected. The single vote sys-
tenn being found tedious, the rules were
suspended, and three candidates were
voted for. Two ballots were had, when
the following gentlemen were declared
elected, viz:-Thos. Spooner Of Hamil-
ton county, 272 votes; Hon. v. B. Hor-
ton of Meigs, 287 votes, and DIR. G.
Broadbeck of Montgomery county, 394
votes. The whole number of votes was
456. There was grand rush of dele
gates for German delegate at large, and
DR.. Broadbeck went through with a
whirl.
The Cincinnati Commercial, without
giving its authority, says:
"Three of the above delegates are un-
qualifedly for Chase, and Mr.. Horton,
although Chase is said not be his first
choice, was put forward by his. friends
with the understanding that he would
support Chase in the National Conven-
tion while his friends pressed his claims. "
The following resolutions offered by
Gen. Worthington, was declared to be
an absolute and positive expression for
Chase, and was adopted
Resozued, Thatthe Republicans of Ohio
while they will give their united and
earnest support to the nominee of the
Chicago Convention, indicate as their
first choice, and recommend to said Con-
vention the name of Salmon P. Chase, of
Ohio.
There were but two votes against the
resolution, one of which was cast by an
friend of Gov. Chase, the other
by member in favor of any straight-out
No further resolutions
were adopted and the Committee ad-
journed
The Eleventh Congressional District,
comprising the counties of Meigs, Athens,
Hooking, Perry, Fairfield and Vinton,
elected N. H. Van Worries and T. C.
Sands, delegates to Chicago; both Chase
men.
