CoLuMBus, April 27.-The hotels are al
ready crowded with delegates, getting ii
readiness for the Republican State Con
vention tomorrow. Matters are yet in
chaotic condition, but the Sherman dele
gates being largely in majority, ar
endeayoring to map out programme o
business. They have about decided to In
struct the delegates at large, and pass I
resolution requesting the general dele
gates to support Sherman as long as there
Is any reasonable chance for his nomina
ton at Chicago. It has not been deemed
wise as yet 70 attempt TO enforce the unit
rule, in view OF the number OF delegates
who will be In the Convention favorable
to Blaine. The Blaine men are very
earnestly at work, and 1t Is not unlikely
they will make the Convention very live
ly when action is taken on the resolutions.
There are eight candidates for Secretary
OF State, and numerous candidates Tor
most OF the other places on the State
ticket. The most prominently mention-
ed for delegates at large are Senator Gar
field, ex Governor Dennison, w. D. Bck-
ham, $. S. Warner and Warner M. Bate
man.
Nearly all the delegates elected to the
Republican Convention are here with
very many strangers, who came Us lockers
on. There Is the usual pressure Of candi-
dates for places, but the interest telt in
what the Convention will do regarding
the Presidential candidates, greatly less
ems the interest in the State ticket. The
following are the candidates whose claims
are being urged by themselves and per-
sonal friends: For Secretary yoi State,
Alexis Cope, OF ST. Clairsvllle; ]. O. Don.
aldson, OF Defance;J. K. Rukenbrood, Of
Salem; S. b. Smith, Of Dayton; Charles
Towngend, OF Athens; w. NJ. Cunning
ham, Of Newark; Charles Il. OStrander,
Of Cleveland, and Thos. F. Wildes, Of
Akron.
As each candidate processes to believe
his chances are excellent it seems useless
at this hour to make predictions as 10 who
will be nominated.
G. W. McIwaine, OF Tuscarawas, and
Wm. Lawrence, OF Logan, are candidates
for Supreme Judge, but the probability is
that McIlwaine will be nominated with
out much trouble.

missioner are =. l; lappani OF 1amoier;

Tine Sherman men admit that Blaine
will have about 200 out of $40 DELEGATES In
the convention aud three Congressional
districts ont of20. The Blaine men claim
about $50 delegates and @ Congressional
districts.
Some few Sherman delegates are anxious
to have an attempt made to pledge the en-
lire delegation for Sherman, Int the
managers do not approve his plan. Their
plan IL 10 adopt resolutions instructing
the delegates atIarpe and reouestipg The
district delegates to support Secretary
sherman at Chicago,
