COLUMBUS, Ohio June 81, 1871.
The Ohio Republican State Convention, to nomi-
nate Q Governor, Lieutenant Governor and other
Oficers, met here to-day at ten O'Clock. The at
tendance was unusually large, not only OF dele
gates but Of outside parties. Over 400 delegates
were present. Among the prominent outsiders
were Senator Sherman, General Garfield and ex-
Governor Dennison
BEN WADE OUT OF THE FIGHT.
For days previous to the meeting Of the Con-
venuOn there was warm contest between the friends
Of bluff Old Ben Wade and Colonel Noyes, of Gin
Ctnnat as to which should receive the nomination.
AT the 0utstart Wade was unquesIiona0ly the choice
OF the party, and would nave been nominated
by reclamation had he not thrown cold water upon
the movement by stating that he was not candk
date and would not be under any circumstances
AT the earnest request Of his friends he finally
agreed to stand as a candidate, but in the meantime
parties not altogether friendly TO Wade trotted out
Colonel Noyes, comparatively new man. From all
that can learn Wade did not really want the nomi
nation. He Is tired Of ofilce-holdng and Of public
le, and would rather remain quietly at his home In
Jefferson. 1t is said that Old Ben has an eye upon
the scat now occupied by Senator Sherman in the
United States Senate. At oil events, 1t was gen.
orally understood before the meeting or the COnven
ton that Wade would not be pushed by his friends
for the nomination and the success Of
NOyes was conceded.
HARMONY.
There was strong disposition among the leading
friends OF both Wade ana Noyes to preserve the mar
mony OF the parry because 1t was known. or at
least the party leaders fe that anything like divt
sion would give an advantage TO the democracy,
who under the new departure impetus, are Begin
ming to look up.
ORGANIZATION.
The temporary chairman Of the Convention,
Colonel Grosvenor, Is q Wade man; the permanent
chairman, Governor Dennison, does not belong to
either faction HIS selection was sort Of compro-
MISE intended to smooth still more whatever differ
ences may exist in the party. These tactics had
their effect
THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES CHOSEN.
No sooner were the resolutions read than Colonel
N0yes was nominated amid great cheering. Then
somebody nominated Old Ben Wade, whereupon
General Eggleston, his lifelong friend, withdrew
him. saying that lie had been authorized to do so.
Wade being out OF the way and no other candidate
having sufficient strength to make fight, Noyes
was nominated by reclamation, amid great cheering
and excitement. Noyes Is New Hampshire
Yankee and has not been many years In the State.
He Is what they would call carpet-bagger at the
South. He Is a man Of local reputation as q law
yer, and not ABOVE the average ability He
has the advantage OF having lost q leg in
the army, which may give him some votes. He is
not however, considered strong candidate, either
by mis- friends or by the opposition. He seems TO
have been the only in the republican party who
really wanted the oice
RADICAL CONFIDENCE.
The republicans however are confident of carry
ing the State. They assert that while Moves may
not poll the full vote he VIII be elected The chief
contest In State this fan win be for members Of
