Union state Convention.
The Ohio Union State Convention
which assembled at Columbus, on Wed
nesday, 10Th inst, to nominate q State
Ticket, was one of the largest mos
harmonious and enthusiastic, ever held
in the State. Every county, excepting
Holmes, we believe, MAS represented
The delegates commenced arriving Al
Columbus early on Tuesday, and By
evening of that day, all sections of the
State were well represented, and the
probable result of the moFrow's con
yention discussed. On Tuesday fore
noon the delegates from Trumbul
County, called upon Gov. Cox, and
learned that he had fully determined
not to permit his name to be presented
before the Convention asa candidat1
for denomination. During the day
this determination Of the Governor be-
came quite generally understood, and
was regretted by the many delegates
with whom Gov. Cox was the choice.
1t was also apparent, we think, to all,
that if Gov. Cox came before the Con-
Yention, he would be re-nominated.-
He was no doubt the choice of a deci-
ded majority of the delegates. The
defamation of GCv. Cox, seemed to
leave Gen. Hayes the most prominent
candidate. although Messrs. Galloway
and CeWan had numbers Of very conf
dent and active friends devoted TO
their promotion. For 1t. Gov. the
candidates we're numerous, and who
the successful one was to be, no per
son presumed to predict with any con-
6dence, and, rs the sequal proved, no
one had the faintest idea of the Ne
suit. esc8
The Convention met ct 10Y O'Clock,
.. m, on Wednesday, in the theatre,
every part of which was crowded.
Gsn. Schenck was introduced by the
chairman of the State Central Commit
tee, as temporary chairman, The Gem
eral was received with warm applause
and addressed the Convention, thank.
ing the members for the honor con-
ferred on him, and saying that while
it was not for him to dictate Its duties,
yet he had no doubt it would renew
the pledge to sustain the Ccrgression-
al reconstruction policy, which the
leaders Of the rebellion were ready to
accept and sbide by. and only hesita-
ted in consequence of the mad inter
ference Of q faithless President, who
seeks, by strained and absurd interpre-
tation, to get rid of the obvious mean
ing of laws which had been passed in
spite of him. The General said the
contingency demands that every mem
Der of Congress should be at his post
ct the session called on the 3d-of July,
10 strive to defeat the Presidents at
tempt to paralyze the laws. At the
close of the remarks of the General,
the Convention proceeded to prepare
for business and organization. The
usual committees were appointed.-1
