: COLUMBUS, ONO, June 2l.
= The Republican State Convention
. met in this city to-day for the nomina-
ton of their State ticket. The assem-
bling ofthis Convention has been looked
:. for with an unusual degree Of interest,
. as it was supposed TO be direct figh:
e between Grant and his army of bum
mers and pap.suckers on the one side,
and the progressive Republicans-those
S who oppose the denomination OF General
General Grant, on the other. 1t was
conceded by all sides Of this "happy
family" long ago. that if the Old war
horse, Ben. Wade, was nominated for
, Governor, it would be endorsing Grant,
; his San Domingo and other corrupt
., Jobs and withal insure the Ohio dele
CATION for his denomination at the next
National Convention. On the other
hand, General Noyes, who lost a leg in
"rolling back the crimson tide of war,
as the anti administration candidate,
: and is backed by such men as General
Cox, Judge Matthews, Halstcad, OF the
Cincinnati Commercial, and men OF that
stamp, OF course his nomination sends
Grants chances TO the four winds as
far as Ohio is concerned. So YOU can
see the incentive that caused thousands
of the corrupt 'ins," and many more OF
the yirtuous "outs, 10 find their way
to Columbus, Notwithstanding the mer-
curry is away up in the nineties, the sun
unshadowel by single cloud and the
dust flying about in the most reckless
manner, regardless Of peoples eyes and
clothing.
The buttoa.holeing that was going
on before the assembling OF the Con
yention was fearful to behold The
anti-Grant men INDUCED in the most
pteous appeals to the delegates to let
everything pertaining to the Administra-
ton slide, or the Republican party
would 90 to the "demnation bow-wows,
Such were the impressions Tuesday
evening. But lol Wednesday morn
ing brought sudden and wonderful
change. Captain Brown had been sent
here bv the Washington Republican
Association, ard informed the people Of
Ohio that tie Administration had no
choice for the Gubnatorial standard
bearer, but simply warted Grant IN
dorsed. So the compromise was effected:
Moves and the Administration joined
hands, and everything was serene.
