can State Central Committee met
here this afternoon and audited the
accounts of the Executive Committee.
They adopted resolutions declaring
in favor of selecting delegates to the

county of the State to appoint their
central committees in the spring, in
stead of in the fall, as heretofore. AL
80, that the State Convention be held

REPUBLICAN COUNCIL OF WAR.
At seven and "a half o'clock the
members Of the Republican State
Central Committee, Republican men,
bers of the Legislature, and a num-
Der of the editors of Republican pa
pers of the State, met in the hall of
House of Representatives, to fix up
on time for holding the State Con-
vention. General Robinson of Ken
ton called the meeting to order, and
Mr.. Thomas A. Sanderson acted as
Secretary. General Robinson stated
that the committee, at their afternoon
session, had decided that the third
Wednesday of April was as late day
as the Convention should be called.
MIR. Babcock moved to strike out
the third Wednesday in April, and in
sert the 9th of March.
Mr.. Stimson was in favor of this
motion, as Ohio was one of the most
important States in the Union, and q
State that had heretofore in meas
ure led the other States in matters
political, and that they should early
give out notes of no uncertain sound.
Mr.. Scott of warren was in favor of
an early convention, for the reason
that Ohio was State of great i'm
portance, and would have candidate
for vice president, and it was there
fore desirable to be in the field as
carly as possible.
The motion to fix the 9th of March
as the time for the convention was
agreed to be a heavy vote.
Governor Noyes was called on for
speech, and as he arose was greeted
with hearty applause. He referred to
the caucus of year ago. Then the
Republicans of the country were di-
vided on various questions of annex
alton of San Domingo had a division
of sentiment. A portion were joined
to the President, and some to MIR.
Sumner. We did not disguise from
ourselves that the situation twas one
of difficulty and danger, but we de-
cided to sink all personal preferences
on minor questions. The result was
such victory as took Ohio out of
doubtful States, and placed her proud
ly at the head of the Republican col
umn. Cheers We are here to-
night under happier auspices than on
that occasion year ago. There are
no divisions to be healed, and no
misgivings as to victory this time
We are here to agree together, as we
did year ago, that we will adhere to
the old banner which has led US to
so mauy victories. We are here to
say that, so far as we are concerned,
we have no s'new departure" Cheers
The nation will soon have to decide
whether the grand be continued, or
whether the reactionary party shall
be allowed to return to power. OF
the result there can be no reasonable
doubt, and as we are here for little
family talk among ourselves, which
cannot possibly be repeated outside
laughter], feel free to say that, for
one, l shall be gratified with what
seems now to bo the universal delnad
of the Republican party, the renomin
alton of President Grant. Loud ap-
plause We have in our State one
whom we delight to honor, not only
because to heretofore, but for his high
character at home and abroad. For
one, could be satisfied with any one
of a number of candidates, but can
say that we shall be sure of a magni-
ficent victory next fall if the Repub-
lican party shall be led byGrant COM
mander-in- chief and Dennison as
second on the ticket. General and
prolong applause.
General Sherwood, being called up
on, said he had prepared speech to
make to night, but, unfortunately for
him, Governor Noyes had made the
speech he intended to make. Laugh
ter. He would, however, offer the
following resolutions:
Whereas. The Republicans of Ohio,
with unparalleled unanimity, having
presented the name of Hon. William
Dennsson for Vice President, and
knowing that this expression Of the
press reflects the sentiment of the
people; therefore,
RESOLVED, That as Republicans OF
Ohio we commend this nomination to
the Republicans of the nation; that
this distinguished citizen of our State,
indissoluby connected with Ohio,s
early war history, and prominent in
the cabinet and counsels Of Abraham
Lincoln, will give prestige and popu-
larity to the ticket, and zeal to the
canvass.
Resolved, That we present Hon.
William Dennison for Vice President,
with the view and confident expec-
tation of securing his nomination at
the Philadelphia Convention. :
The resolutions were adobted.
Hon. Martin Welker, who was pres
ent, was called on for a speech. He
said he thought it highly important
to the whole country that General
Grant should be renominated. He
also thought this nomination was a
foregone conclusion. He agreed with
others that an early convention was
very desirable, and that it was impor-
tant that Ohio shouldIake an early
stand in favor of Grants renomina-
ton. He, as chairman of the Con-
gressional Committee on Retrench-
ment, had been able to see much OF
