Sir Robert Peel (the late Sir Robert, not the

EITHER JUDGE TAFT or MR.. CHARLES FOSTER GER
TAIN TO BE THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.
IBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUSE.l
CLEVELAND May 26.-The Republican State Con-
yention at Cincinnati on Wednesday promises to
develop a rather Stiff but friendly contest for the
Governorship between Judge Taft and ex-Congress-
man Charles Foster. 1t is impossible now to say
which is the stronger candidate, few weeks ago
Judge Taft seemed to be a long way ahead, but the
county conventions showed Mr. Foster to be the
favorite In counties where he was not supposed to
have much following.
Speabing In general way Southern Ohio ls for
Judge Taft with Foster localities here and there and
Northern Ohio is for Mr.. Foster with sprinkling OF
Taft delegations Personal preferences and local
pride fix the status of the delegates as rule
rather than any differences of opinion on public
issues. There is, however, a faint remnant OF an
old feeling against Judge Taft on account OF his
decision on the question of reading the Bible III the
schools and there is equally faint opposition to
Mr. Foster on the score of his want of radicalsm q
few years ago.
A minority of the county delegations are unin-
structed, and there WILL no doubt, be number OF
candidates presented for complimentary votes In
the first ballot by men who think there may be a
chance for dark horse, who want to see how the
contest is likely turn out before they take sides.
There seems, however, to be no possible opening
for a new man. The nominee will be either Judge
Taft or Mr. Foster, and whoever the beaten man
may be he Will be urged to accept the second place
on the ticket If he declines ana it is not unlikely
that he WILL he will be nominated willy nily
There will be general rejoicing over the happy
termination of the struggle, and the formation OF
the ticket to the people of OHIO
for many years. Whether the ticket be Taft and
Foster or Foster and Taft it will be irresistible. In
the event of Mr.. Fosters nomination for Governor
and Judge Taffs refusal to take the Lieutenant
Governorship, another Cincinnati man, probably
Lewis SeasongoOd. will be chosen. Should Judge
Taft head the ticket and Mr. Foster stubbornly de-
cline the second place, probably W. +. Fogg Will be
selected

WASHINGTON, May 26.-MT Fernando Wood said
to-day that ne does not intend to sail for Europe
has been stated in some of the newspapers, until
Congress adjOurns, or until some definite under
standing is reached as TO what Congress will do and
when it will adjourn. In response to question
to what he thought of the effect of the Silver BILL
he said it would never become a law, and that the
destinies of this country are in the keeping of a
higher power than that of the Congress OF the
United States. Any bill of this kind. he said is a
nuisance to him; what the country needs was rest.
IL Is, he said, in the condition Of convalescent

comes meddling and trying to dose such patient
he ought to be driven out with h0rsewhip. Mr..
Wood intimated that the financial quacks who are
irving to dose the country with their remedies
ought to be ected to the kind OF discipline.
Mr. Wood said positively that, matter whether he

Will not, at this session, report any bill whatever

TO tnie effect has been made in committee and car

DEEMED.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, May 26.-The bill for the redemp-
ton of subsidiary coinage discussed in the Sen
ate during the morning hour to-day.
Senator Edmunds was the chief opponent of the
bill. He based his objection chiefly upon the
ground that the bill will furnish precedent which
will be followed in respect to the standard dollar
whenever the silver men succeed, if they ever do
succeed In flooding the market with that coin. Sena
tor Edmunds holds that the dollar ofthe fathers must
inevitably depreciate in comparison with the gold
coinage and then there will come the cry from
the holders of the silver dollar for its redemption
now comes in respect to the silver coins The Sena-
tor says that by principle of public economy
should coins be held TO be redeemable. Paper
money, the representative of value, should always
be redeemabe III that which is intrinscally vau-
able but the coins of the Nation should not be the
representatives of value, but value itself He held
that private enterprise should regulate the distrbu
ton of subsidiary coinage, and that that is one of
the things with which the Government should not
interfere.
Senator Ferry defended the bill, and explained
what in his belief its operation would be. He said
that there no especial gut small coins in the
ket, but that owing to the limited legal tender quail
ity of small CONS they are not bankable therefore,
those dealers in small wares who receive subsidiary
coinage almost exclusively are compelled TO dispose
of their money to the brokers at loss. II this bill
should become a law, the fact that this coinage
is redcemable at the Treasury would appreciate its
value and render il bankable at least to a much
greater extent than al present
