Nominations of the Republicans
Sherman Makes a Charac-
teristic Speech.

CLEVELAND, June S.-Sherman will be
permanent President of the Republican State
Convention. Foster will be renominated.
The Cincinnati delegates selected Louis
S~easargood for Lieut.. Governor and he will
be given the place.
John Sherman in thanking the Convention
Tor the honor done him, said: Governor
Foster is entitled to denomination and would
be triumphant. His able and earnest efforts
would lay the ft undation for a great victory
and culminate in the election of Garfield as
President. He referred to the cosmopolitan
Character OF Ohlo's people, and said it repre-
sents the whole country. The platform of
the Republican party is what it has done
l%cheersl for twenty-five years. He proceeded
to briefly sketch its great achievement s that
which il has done Is the best assurance of
what it will dc; that it intends to advance
public credit and still further pay off the debt
more rapidly. This will all be advocated
heartily. 1t approves and endorses the Ad-
ministration and pledges him cordial support
IL his duties, and endorses the policy of the
party in the protection of American labor
and discriminating in favor of home pro-
ducers. Under the Foster administrator the
question OF the regulation OF the liquor
traffic should be submitted to the people for
constitutional amendment that shall regulate
it to localities.
He believed President Garield's statement
in his inaugural, that all the powers he COM
mands will be used for this purpose. Times
are suspicious for this great object of the Re-
publican party. The bitterness in the South is
subsiding. Freedmen are gradually acpuir-
ing property. Strong independent friends are
sprliiging up who will stand by the flag and
human rights. He depicted in glowing
terms the future of this fifty millions of free
men in this country; W e have no room for a
leader who commands and dictates. [Great
applause. We have a great people in Ohio,
and have never been and never will be
bossed. The NAH who attempts to command
had better make bis will beforehand. ZAP
plause.
He congratulated them OF, the suspicious
opening of Garield's administration we
know that office seeking is "a proper pursuit
~[laugLterb and although places were secured
w get along on the whole comfortably. The
wise financial policy of the administrator
has been carried out and supplemented.
He paid a compliment to Secretary Window
for his skilltul judgment in this matter, but
took the edge Of it of by remarking he was
an Ohio boy. The department which fright
ened brakclnen fifteen years ago has melted
away like snow before the summer sun.
| believe | cam say in advance of the resO-
luton that will be offered that Gen. Garfield
has the emphatic approval Of the Republicans
of Ohio in the course he has pursued thus far.
TApplause.l Let him further advance public
credit, let him punish all who do wrong, let
him give us an administration pure, simple
and republican, worthy of 4 name like ours,
and we will send him our approval twice
over again. But, my courtrymen, we have
something to do 10 this task. We have got
to emphasize our approval by endorsing tins
administration in the election of the Repub-
lican ticket this fall. This is no child's play.
As we know, the Republican party has a pow
ertul adversary behind it so that we dare not
do anything wrong OF they will push off our
stages if We do not behave ourselves, and tha'
is the only use | know of for the Democratic
party. Let us then do our party work as
republicans of Ohio know how to work and
victory will perch upon our banners.
