OHIO.
A correspondent at Columbus, Ohio write

A correspondent at Columbus, Ohio, writes
Aug. TO- as follows:
The Republicans OF Ohio never held harmonious
Convention than that of to-day The general counties
were represented By their best men, all Of whom seem TO
have but one object in vicwthe best interests of the
country and the party Quite contest was had over the
nomination for Supreme Judge, but it was exceedingly
amcabe and the ticket throughout is regarded on al
hands as a strong one. The platform is universally ac
ccntable TO ALL though some would have preferred TO
have it more explicit in regard to the Tariff question
Gen. Brinkerhof a prominent FreeTrader, Is happy
over the free shipping plank and claims it as conces
sion TO the principals of which he is an advocate The
Tariff men, however think they have indored all that IS
necessary The Executive Committee in regard to when
tbcrc seems to have been considerable feeling, is salts
factory.
