THE OHIO NOMINATIONS.

Ho,c the Selection of Foster for Gorernor is
Regarded by Politicians at Washington.
Washington Special MAY 28) to Chicago
The result in Ohio is regarded here as a
triumph for John Sherman as against Grant
in the Presidential canvass. Taft was gem
orally considered Grant man and was es..
pecially opposed to John Sherman. Foster
was the candidate of Sherman and the ad-
ministration up to q certain point. Had Taft
been strong enough to beat Foster then
Sherman would have consented to have his
name used. All the administration influ-
ence will therefore be given to Foster. The
Democrats profess to be satisfied with Eos
ter's nomination and say now that they will
put up Thurman and easily beat him.
Tho President expressed himself as very
much pleased with the result, believing that
Foster will make q more active personal can
vass than Taft could have done.
Secretary Sherman says that lie regards
the ticket as very strong one, and is as we'll
satisfied with it as if Taft had been nomi-
mated. He thinks that Foster will secure a
good deal of strength where Taft might
have lost, although Taft might have gained
where Foster will lose. At all events, he
feels confident Of the final success of the
ticket.
Mr.. Monroe, of Ohio, who is the only Re
publican representative from that State left
in Washington, talks freely on the nomina
tion. He was, in the first place, Foster
man. He says he favored Foster because he
thought he would make stronger race thar
any other man would haze done. He thinks
that Foster has all the qualifications nee
essary to make a vigorous canvass and to &C.
cure full vote Of the people. Mr.. Monroe
is very enthusiastic on the subject of tht
Ohio campaign. He says that in very few
weeks Foster will have visited every county
| in the State, become acquainted with leading
| politicians and have impressed them with thu
Importance of organizing thoroughly ant
bring out every man at the polls. OF Eos
ter's qualities as canvasser he speaks il
the highest terms and from persona
knowledge. He says that part o
Fosters old district now forms
part of his own, and in his las
canvass he learned many stories of how Eos
ter managed his campaigns. Mr.. Monroe il
q strong friend of Mr.. Taft, but does not re
gard him as being as strong q man for th
party as Foster will prove himself to be. II
feels confident that Foster will carry th
Obate Dy d laISo mhJOIAty.
The Democrats pretend to be jubilan
over the nomination. They do not regar,
it as at all formidable. Senator Thnrma
Isays tonight that he considers the Republ
can ticket very weak one, which will b
beaten by 10000 majority. Ben Lefevre,
Democratic representative from Ohio, say
that while he thinks that Foster is goo
man, he believes he will be easily beate1
! Other Democrats express substantially th
same views.
