THE TENTH DISTRICT.
The Republican COnVen-
dion at Clyde.
HON. CHAS. FOSTER REN0MI-
MATED BY AGCLAMATI0N.
4 GIOrIOHs EIetOrr Certain.


The following is the Sandusky Reg
isteI's report of the Clyde COnven-
ton:
The Republicans of the Tenth Ohio
District held their Congressional Con-
vention at Clyde, the 3ls5 inst.
Delegates from the various portions
of the District arrived on the early
trains, accompanied by large num-
/ Der of outsiders, who were eager to
witness the proceedings and share the
enthusiasm which the occasion was
to call forth.
TALKING MATTERS OVER.
The Nichols House presented a
I lively appearance, the corridors, par
/ lor and dOOrways being filled with
men all busily engaged discussing the
probabilities and learning how each
stood on the candidates. 1t was very
evident from the first that there
would be no contest over the Con-
gressiOnal nOminatiOn-it being con-
| ceded on all sides that Hon. Charles
| Foster would be renOminated, and in
all probability by aeelamatiOn. The
delegations elected from every cOun-
ty were aseertained to be solid for
him with the exception of Huron, one
| town of which, NOrwalk, had elected
| delegates favorable to the nomination
| of Col. G. Z. Wiekham. This almost
unanimous preference for Mr.. Foster,
coming from the country districts as
well as the towns was at once mani
/ fest and with the discretion and fealty
of true Republicans, Mr.. Wiekham's
/ friends accepted the verdict of the
majority with entire good will, and
assured them of their hearty eO-Opera-
ton in the canvass Of the successful
man.
THE CONVENTION.
At half past ten o'clock the dele
! gates assembled in Kline's Hall, and
| the Convention was called to order by
Mr.. VOltaire Scott Of Sandusky,
chairman Of the District Executive
Committee, who proposed the name
of Hon. Cooper X. Watson of Nor
walk, as temporary chairman. Mr..
/ Watson having been unanimously
| elected, was escorted to the chair
amid cheers, and after gracefully
I thanking the Convention for the
honor, announced the first business
in order to be the selection of secre'
taries. The following gentlemen
were chosen Darwin Fay of Erie,
VIM. S. Wickman, of Huron, a. H.
Balsley of Sandusky, D. Il. Locke of
Seneca, and O. J. DeWOlf Of Han
cock.
After the reading of the call, Gen
eral Buckland, of Sandusky, moved
| that without further proceedings the
/ candidates for Congress be announced.
Judge COlver, of Erie, opposed the
motion. He thought that in this, the
/ first Convention of the new Tenth
district, a permanent organization
should be had. The campaign is to
| be an important one, and the Con-
VentiOn should declare through resO-
/ lutiOns lis sentiments relative 10 the
issues now before the coIntry. Mr..
Buckland withdrew his motion, and
on motion the Convention elected the
| following committees.
