COLUMBUS. Ohio. April 2s.-The Republican State
Convention to-day was fine representative gath
rering of the Republicans of Ohio, and the action
taken such as to give general satisfaction and
strengthen the party in the State. While IL was q
lively. and sometimes an excited. Convention. there
| was no ill-feeling at any time, and both the
Sherman and Blaine men profess to be wholly satis-
fed. The Blaine candidates. for delegates received
200 votes, while the Sherman delegates received
| 483 votes. The Blaine men also claim to have se-
cured eight delegates to Chicago but the Sherman
men say that one Of these has agreed to vote for
Sherman, and that four more will do so Sherman,
they say, will in all probability have his State sohd
at Chicago at least within two votes of IL.
From every part of the State visited by Blaine
during the last campagahe received strong sup.
| port in the Convention. If he could have visited
every township in Ohio 1t appears that he would
| have carried the State. Had the Blaine men
| worked more thoroughly. the Blaine representa-
| tiOn in the Convention would have been much
larger than it was. But no particular efforts were
made to secure Blaine DELEGATIONS anywhere,
except in the strong Blaine dstricts.i
| Recognizing the useessness and impOlicy Of
any effort to oppose Mr. Sherman in
the Convention, the Blaine men took nothing
more than merely formal action In the interest Of
| thair Main MnK of
XVIIth Congressional District was made tempOr-
ary chairman of the Convention, aud made pecu-
| lary strong and stalwart speech in taking tho
| chair. His mention Of Blane's name was greeted
with loud and steady applause which was equalled
but not surpassed by that which greeted his aluson
to John Sherman. A few Kisses were heard when
he mentioned General Grants name, but these were
quickly drowned by applause.
The Hon. Benjamin Butterworth, Of Cincinnati,
was made permanent chairman, and after some
routine business the Committee on Platform re-
ported the following resolutions, which were agreed
to with cheors:
THE DELEGATES TO CHICAGO.
