OHIO.



! C1sc1NNAr1, O., Nav IA summary Of tho
results Of the Republican County Conventions
held throughout Ohio yesterday shows that
Taft 1s likely to lead the Gubernatorial' 'candt;
dates in the Cincinnati Convention On the 2Ssh
OF May. Not many OF the delegations are 10
structed, but the preference OF nearly alt o.
them is known. The counties in Charles Eos
ter's Congressional District, and many others Id
the northern part OF the State, are enthusiastic
for Foster. The Western Reserve Is apparently,
divided between, Sherman, Garfield, TAFT, and
Foster. The counties which include the Cities Of
Columbus, Toledo, Zanesville, and Chillleo:he, ::
most Of the river countless and a. considera-
bic aumbcr OF other counties In !:
Central and Southern. Ohio are strong ::
for Taft. Sherman as a candidate figured but
little in the resolutions, but there is strong
undercurrent Of feeling in his favor, aud, If his
name should be proposed in the Convention
with an assurance that he wonid accept, it d
probable that be would be nominated By At
cla1nation. The same is true of GardeldNhut
there appears to be general feeling TINT bdtb
these men are doing better work Tor the Repuos$
,licans at the National Capital than thej could
do at Columbus, and that neither one
ought be asked to- make the race Tor
Governor. The Conventions were everywhere.
every county were found Republicans who had
been alienated from their party for years on
various issues taking an active part in the pro-
cee1ings, and promising hard work for the CAM
paign. The resolutions, almost wlshuut excep
tIon, commend the President for bis stand tn
opposition to the schemes OF the nulhers and
reVolutiontsts at Washington In many coun-
ties resolutions complimentary to Secretary
Sherman and; his management OF bis hnanct5
were adopted. The speeches made showed unt-
tdence in the success OF the ticket, whoever
the Convention may nominate. Evidences we're
plenty IN the Convention that the rural districts
are feeling keealy the disgrace brought upon
the State by the shameful mismanaoement OF
the public institutions since they were reorga1-
lied by the Democrats q year ago. )
