STATE CONVENTION The labors of the State
convention at Columbus on the 10th, resulted
| in the nomin alton of Gen r. B. HAYES of Gin
cinnati The vote by counties was for Hayes
| $50, for Cowan ll5 and 80 for Galloway. The
friends of Gov. Cox very properly and prudent
| ly withdrew his name. .....
Some nine names were submitted as candi-
dates for 1t Governor, embracing VIM. c. How
ellis, Peter Hitchcock of Geauga, and Griswold
of Cuyahoga. When the vote by counties was
called, Galloway led off, our candidate, W.. c.
HowellS, coming next and Peter Hitchcock fol-
lowing next in order. The formal vote gave
for Galloway 4s6 votes. 3-i
Judge JOHN WEIGH was renominated by ac-
clauation.
JAMES II. GOODMAN was nominated on the 1st
ballot by 2sS votes, and Mr.. S. S. Osborne of
Lake had 49, the next in order.
| SYDNEY S. WARNER was nominated by accia-
nation for Treasurer
WM. H. WEST for Attorney General, was
nominated by acclamation.
| PHIILIP V. HERZIG was nominated for Mem
Der of the Board of Public Works
The Platform is brief, pertinent and sensible,
fish this week.
Although Gallowayis oyershadowing infiu-
ence eclpsel all competitors. our candidate
made very fair rum and came home feeling
that his friends who had brought his name be-
fore the public had no occasion TO feel that they
had been compromised. Another effort like
that which placed him in the Senate may be
successful in crowning their ambition, by put
ting him in the second office in the State.
The Chicago Reau6liccn makes the follow
| ing observations, which are entitled to COM
mand the attention of ali who intelgently de-
sire the Protection of Labor and Laborers in
this country: ..;.. ...... .......-.. .-,.....-
can Illinois manufacturer. recently re-
turned from Europe, asserts that he was
astonished at the amount of orders he
found there being filled for this country.
America is the market place for Germa-
nv in many lines of trade, and the combi-
nation made to retain this trade are both
powerful and untiring in their action
There is 10 hope of elevation of labor
in this country without protection. The
competion is direct with the cheap labor
and accumulated capital of Europe. The
Atlantic cable has to degree revolution
lied foreign trade. The importer can tel
egraph an order and duplicate it, and
have his goods in New York by steamer
within fortnight or three weeks. The
freight costs little, and the comparative
ly light tariff enables him to block the
wheels of our mills, or compel our labor
down to the level of European operatives
SO far as hours and compensation arc con-
eerned. A strike in any industry in this
country is the signal for increased orders
for. the products of that industry abroad
Thus is our labor, and all our efforts at
its elevation and compensation paraly-
zed." -...st ...--....I.... d. ...'.. -.
The large proportion, probably one-third of
the manufactures of Great Britain, as well as
those of Germany find their way to this
country, and come in competition under the
light import duties imposed upon them, and the
heavy excise dutiestha burden our own indus
try, with the manufactures of this country,
flooding our markets, beating down prices, set
ting the balance of trade against u.s. draining off
specie and embarrassing domestic trade
