Its Work Well and satisfactorily
Done.
g cNcINNANTI, May 2s.-The Republican
State Convention assembled at Music
Hall this morning at IL O'Clock, and was
called to order by Hon. W. c. Cooper, of
AEk Vernon, Chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee.
The large hall was filled almost to its
capacity with delegates and visitors to the
Convention. A band stationed in the gal
leFy, enliYened the affair with some ex-
eellent music.
The Convention consisted of 554 dele
ga6es, 27s being necessary to nominate.
fr. Cooper, on calling the Convention
to order, said that two years ago discord
lOst the State to the Republicans, but one
year ago the State was redeemed. To-day,
with the exercise of wisdom, we will in
augurate a victory far greater than last
year. Be calm, make good ticket and a
good platform, and we shall win. Ohio is
now, always has been and always win be
in favor of the Nation. She is in favor of
a free ballot and untrammeled elections,
and therefore emphatically endorses the
vetoes of President Hayes.
He paid his respects to the Confederate
legislation, and then paid glowing trib-
ute to the work accomplished, and said
much of these victories was due to Ohio's
own John Sherman. At the name of
Sherman and Grant, who came in for a
word casual, the audience app1auded eul-
phatically. The reorganization schemes
of the Ohio Legislature were scored in a
most sarcastic manner, after which the
speaker turned toward Washington, and
pointed to the Rebel Brigadiers and the.
work they had accomplished. After coun-
selling harmony and declaring principles
to be greater than men, Mr.. Cooper closed,
being frequently and heartily applauded.
Prayer was then offered by the Rev.
Mr.. Waldron.
Colonel Cooper. then introduced Hon.
Allan T. Brinsmade, of Cleveland, the
temporary Chairman of the Convention,
who addressed the Convention at length,
covering the entire ground and canvass
ing the work, worth, aims and objects of
the two parties. Colonel Brinsmade was
frequently interrupted during the deliv-
cry of his speech, with rounds of applause,
and at its close was enthusiastically APP
plauded.
Judge S. N. Field, of Columbus, was
made temporary Secretary, with five as
sistants.
On motion, a recess was then taken nn-
til two O'Clock p. m.
The Convention reassembled at the ap-
pointed time, and was called to order by
| the Chairman. The hall was fully as we'll
filled. or even better than in the forenoon,
| the immense structure being about as full
as it could be for any degree of comfort
/ A large number of ladies were also in at
I tendance.
The committee on Credentials reported
the delegations full. Contests were re-
ported from the Eighth ward, Hamilton
county; Guernsey and Hooking counties.
The report was adopted, after an adjust
ment of the difficulties.
I Ex-Governor Dennison, of Columbus,
was made permanent Chairman of the
Convention, with William Leonard, of
Cuyahoga county, w. S. Thomas, of Della
ware and others as Secretaries. Governor
Dennison was introduced, and returned
his thanks for the honor conferred. He
congratulated the vast assemblage on the
admirable spirit which prevailed. Never
since the organization of the party, had
they met under such circumstances. He
congratulated the Convention in advance
on the election of the ticket nominated to-
day. The speaker then proceeded to de-
liver eulogy on Ohio's great political
leaders, In 1876 the Republicans rescued
the country from financial heresy, and at
the same time FURNISHED the present Chief
Executive of the Nation. Itmatters not
by what means the attempts are made upon
the Nation, the Republican party will be
sure to see that the National flag is sus-
tanned. t-t
The Governor then proceeded to speak
on the Presidents veto and returning
thanks for the service he has rendered,
and hailed with delight united party.
[Cheers.l The magnificent financial
abilities of Secretary Sherman were then
commended in the most emphatic Ian
guage. Everywhere we see evidences Oi
returning good times, but we must con-
tinue in the financial course marked out
if we would witness its fullness.
Then followed few words of recon.
mendationz as. to what the resolutions
should contain, and the speaker closed

remarks.
