WASHINGTON. May 2s.-The nomination OF
| Charley Foster 10 be the Republican candidate
| for Governor OF Ohio is surprise TO the ma
| lOrty OF the stAlwart members Of Congress.
| The radicals are greatly disappointed too. Eos
| ters nomination Is decided victory for John
| sherman and the Administration. and the de-
| feat Of Taft 10 wet blanket TO the hopes OF the
| Grant clique. Fosters nomination is In great
measure due 20 the influence exerted by John
| Sherman and Hayes. through the Republican
members Of the Ohio Congressionn delegation.
| Garfield. Butterworth. Updegraff. Tom Young.
and Mckinley were ut the Convention working
| In Fosters behalf. Tho Democrats regard the
nomination OF Foster as very weak one He
cannot make effective speeches on the financial
question through the State. as finance is not his
especial forte He cannot act the role OF stall
wart Republican. as his record In Congress is
| against him on that point. II Is considered
doubtful whether Thurman will run against
| Foster. The Democrats here seem to think that
either Hice. Ewing. or Bishop can beat him.
