Republican Senatorial Convention.

The Republican Delegates to the thirty
third District Senatorial Convention re-
convened at the Ade'phi Theatre, Toledo
on Wednesday, in answer to the call of Ex-
ecutive Committee.
The Convention was called to order by
Hon. ]. r. OSBORN, and the Secretaries OF
the previous Convention we're called upon
to act in the same capacity. r
Mr.. BRowSs letter declining the nomina-
ton was read and accepted.
Col. J. II. SwIGARr, in an appropriate
speech, presented the name of LAFAYETTE
+. LATrLE as the unanimous choice of the
Lucas county delegation to fill the vacancy
caused by Mr.. BaowN's decIination. The
rules were suspended and Col LYrrLE was
unanimously declared the nominee.
A Committee of three were appointed to
wait on Col LYrrLE, inform him of his
nomination and escort him to the Hall
On being introduced Mr. LYrTLE spoke as
follows:
Mr.. President and Gentleman of the Con
vention-ln accepting the high honor You
have conferred upon me, I desire to state
that mall political issues have acted and
worked with the Republican party from
the time OF its organization to the present;
am proud of its record and predict for it a
bright future. / will not Mt this time un-
dertake to enter into any discussion of the
many issues now presented but will state
that | am in favor OF the reconciliation
of silver; believe in the dollar of our
fathers and believe that legislation should
tend to revive the dropping industries and
provide employment for all.
Thanking you again. gentlemen, for tn
honor you have conferred upon me, MS.
sure you, that, if elected, | will faithfully,
conscentiously and fearIessly discharge the
duties devolving upon me.
The remarks were received with that
genuine and hearty applause which showed
that the nominee had the full sympathy
and support of all the delegates.
The Convention then held an animated
and somewhat leagthy discussion over the
motion to appoint committee to investi-
gate the manner of EARL W. MERRY's
nomination, which was generally partiei-
pated in by the several delegations.
Mr. Tuller, of Wood, was in favor of
letting the matter alone. The people had
their opinions already formed regarding
the matter, and any action this Convention
could take would have no effect upon them.
An effort WIS made but lost to have Mr..
MERRY made the unanimous nominee oil
the Convention.
Finally the resolution to appoint com
mittee OF one from each county prevailed,
The committee consisted OF the following
gentlemen:
Lucas-J. II. Doyle.
Wood-Geo. ii. Caldwell.
Fnlton-D w. II. Howard.
Henry-Wm. Sheffield.
Hancock-J f. Bucket.
Putnam
On motion, recess was taken until 2:30
O'Clock. The committee then retired to
take under consideration the matter placed
in their charge.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The convention was called to order at
half-past two o'clock, and Mr.. ]. II. Doyle
presented the following
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE.
The Committee respectfully report that
they have carefully heard the statements of
all parties who have appeared before them
and have carefully examined the ballots
as they were cast. That while they find
that in the Wool county delegation there
arose misunderstanding between some of
the delegates as to the vote actually cast
we tnd that giving to those who claim
their votes We're improperly counted for Mr.
Merry, all that they can possibly claim
Mr.. Merry still had majority Of al! the
votes cast. They also find that the vote of
the county rs it was cast, with the possible
exception OF one vote was with the acani-
tscence and knowledge of the delegation,
and without objection from them. 1t np-
pears TO your Committee thus by the vote
actually ctd M. Merry WIS fairly nomin-
ated, ana nndir the rIleS Of the Cmven-
ton, the result ms announced by the Chair
was CLEARLY rlghtj w. rsaannml. |. there
lore, that the nomination Of Mr.. Merry be
ratified and approved.
WM j. SHHgTELD, Chairman.
The report was adopted una nimously,
and the Convention adjourned.
