EVENING. il

Of the party is alive and ready to as
sert itself, and that the Republican
party of Ohio is determined, appre-
eiating the situation, to march to
victory next October. / hope every
person here will be prepared to make
personal sacrifices of preferences, and
that you will all agree to select in
your wisdom such candidates this af-
ternOoa, as will, on the whole, bal
ance the advantages and disadvaa-
tages, and promise to secure US the
largest vote at the coming election. 1
trust your platform will be such as
will appeal to the patriotic senti-
ment of every lover of our State and
country throughout the bread limits
Of Ohio.
do not choose here to indicate
much of what In my Judgment your
platform ought to contain. think
there ought not to be very much in it,
and that this year we should go forta
to battle in light marching onier,
carrying as few weights IS possible.
l believe you will indorse the excel
lent and patriotic administration Of
the President and his advisers be-
lieve you will indorse the spirit Of his
recent letter, In which he declares
against q third term. / trust you will
declare against any union OF Church
and State in this country. ApplAuse.
l trust you will enter your solemn
protest against the recent action OF
the Democratic party when, under
the lash of the Catholic priesthood,
they did its behests. tAppIuse. /
trust you will revert WITH pride to the
past history of the Republican party
Of OHIO, which, after being Ia power
twenty years, was indorsed by all
committees Of the Democratic Lsgis-
lature, and by the Democratic Chief
Magistrate of our State. / trust you
will contrast this with the record
which the Democratic party has made
in the last two years, wherein they
have overturned our public institu-
tions, to the great detriment of thnse
institutions /; wherein they have in
interest of party sacrificed what was
dearest to the people Of our State.
I trust you will contrast It with the
action developed by their Investiga-
ting Committee in the last Legisla-
q head, and when the Democratic
committee 80 reported. We find in
the interest Of party, the Democratic
Legislature, taking up the delinquents
man by man and generating every
one of them.
Again, I thank you for the honor
you do nae. beg OF you, gentlemen,
In the earnest spirit of doing what is
best for the Republican party and
in doing what Is best for the city and
section, appreciatlng the significance
of this election to proceed to your du-
ties, and when yoa return t. your
homes, as we all shall IN q few hours
hence, let US determine to see to it
that the action OF the people here
shall be endorsed throughout the linn
its OF our State.
GENERAL SHERMAN.
At this point General Sherman
came on the stage, was introduced,
and received with applause, and
spoke as follows:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen 1
confess to be little scared laughter
and applause], and IL 1 could have
done IL with respect to the magnificent

Laughter.] I have been reared a

laws of the land and those who are
appointed to administer them. APP
pause. That is my simple code, and
when you, gentlemen, have selected
a proper Governor and proper legis-
lators, and when these legislators
have enacted laws, we may be certain
that the men OF my schooling will be
Obedient citizens and OOedient SOL
diers. Applause.

w. ID. Bickham, of Montgomery,
asked to have paper read for the in.
formation of the convention. The
delegates thinking this was some one
of the numerous kilograms from
Hayes, Immediately broke out into q
roar of disapprOval, and declared they
wanted to hear nothing of the sort,
and q few feeble: cries OF "Resd,"
"Read," were drowned in q storm of
"No,"''No," "No," from every part
Of the house.
The Hon. Mr.. Goodhue asked if the
matter sought to be read was germane
to the subject before the convention.
Mr.. Bickhsm managed TO get in
words enough TO indicate that the pa.
per was from Judge Taft. Immedi-
stely great silence fell on the conven-

it was withdrawal Of the Judge from
the race. The paper, however; prov
