CLEvELAND,J June 9.-The Republican
State Convention,y ,yesterday,in this city,
performed it's work prombtly and har-
lnoniOuSly. In fact, ,the convention, ex-
Cept in two cases, was nothing but rat.
ification meeting all the way through.
| The ticket had been chosen by the party
itself by unanimous consent several
months ago, and yesterday simply saw
! d closing Of tormalitieS. The contest
over the Lieutenant-Gcvernorship left
no bitterness, and the Cincinnati men
are satisfied with the Supreme Court
Judgeship, which goes to their county.
Secretary Sherman took square posi-
ton in his speech, and pleased the Fos-
ter men and the Garfield men alike.
There was little difficulty in the con-
structiou of IA platform.
Leading Republicans say that the pO-
Sitiun taken on the temperance question
| is one that they can maintain and de-
! tend.
There was no disposition on the part
of any one to mention Mr.. Conkling in
the platform, although all were earnest
in support Of the Administration. Re
publicanS generally say they can win
with this platform and this ticket They
are in earnest, ana in general are pleased
and willing to put forth all their ener-
gics 70 save the State ticket and choose
Il Legislature next Fall.
The convention met at 10 o'clock, and
was called to order by W. 5. Capollcr,
of Hamilton county. The Hon. A. W.
Jones, of Youngstown, was chosen tenn
porary Chairman, and after the appoint
ment of committees the convention ad-
iourned.
At2 2. NJ. the convention reasScm-
blet, and Senator John Sherman was
made permanent chairman. Senator
Sherman on taking the chair made u
short speech. He began by saying that
Gov Foster was entitled. to a renomina-
ton for his earnest canvass ottWO years
ago, which culminated in the election
of General Garfield as President of the
United States. He gave Il brief review
of the history and achievements of the
Republican party during the last %
years, and said the party still further
intended to advance the public credit,
still further to reduce the public credit,
and to see that every citizen in the land
is protected i'll all his rights
The following platform was reported
and adopted unanimously
"The Republicans of Ohio, in conven.
ton assembled, hereby re-atfirm and re.

The following ticket was then nOmi
mated, that of Governor Foster being 10y
acClamatiOn:
For Governor Charles Foster, 0
Seneca County.
J For Lieutenant-GGYernor-J. q
Richards, of Jefferson County.
For -General-GeOrge X
Nash, of Franklin County.
For Supreme Court Judge-Nichola'
Longworth, of Hamilton County
For Treasurer-Joseph Turney, o
Cuyahoga County.
For Member Of Board of Public
WOrks-GeOrge PauL OF summit
County.
The tight over the Lieutenant-Gov
emorship, which came next, was clost
and warm. Senator Eggleston declined
in order to defeat Louis SeasongOod, the
rich Hebrew Of Cincinnati, who stood
some chance OF receiving the nomina
tion. The convention refused, however
to recognize the latter'S claims, and
selected State Senator j. G. Richards
for the second place on the ticket. Mr.
Richards is of Welsh birth, and his
selection will please a large class OF
men VINO have felt that their people
have not been dealt with by the Eepub.
iican Party of the State. The choice OF
Richards certainly leaves as little dis,
appointment as could have been expect,
cd III any case.
