FOSTER TO BE NOMINATED.

New YORK, June 5.--A special to the
World from Columbus, Ohio, has the fol-
lowing:
While it is quite certain that the Repub-
lican State convention, which meets at Co
lumbus on Wednesday next, will renomi-
nate Governor Foster, there will still be
considerable opposition manifested. The
present incumbents of the state offices will
also be renominated without change, ex-
cept it be in supreme judge. But the Re
publican leaders are far from sanguine of
success. The course of the Republican
legislature last winter on the temperance
question has weakened the Republican par
ty by alternating the Prohibitionists who
have been voting for them for the past
three years. Two years ago the question
came up in the Northern Ohio conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church as to
whether the members of that denomination
could consistently vote with the Republi-
can party. The matter was compromised
by putting the party on two years proba
tion and if within that time the Republi-
can leaders redeemed their pledges as to
the enactment of temperance legis-
lation they would receive the sup
port of the Methodists and Prohibition
lists in the future; if not, then that
support would be withdrawn. This really
elected Governor Foster and Republican
Legislature. The friends of temperance
went to the Legislature, and asked the
passage of local option law. Governor
Foster was opposed to such an enactment,
and defeated il by having bill introduced
taxing the liquor traffic at arate that would
largely drive it out of existence. He skill
fully managed to kill the local option bill
with the tax bill, and then at the close of
the session he had the tax bill killed, so
that the friends of temperance were left
without any legislation. The Stubs Sun
day bill, which was intended to prevent
the sale of beer and liquors on Sunday was
so manipulated by Governor Foster as to
be changed into license for beer halls on
Sunday and then passed against the wishes
of the originators of the measure. This
systematic duplicity has driven off a large
body of Republican voters and great
many of the most thoughtful leaders of
the party concede the State ticket entire
and large majority Of the legislature to
the Democrats.
While great many Republicans in this
State sympathize with Conkling, the ex-
tent of that sympathy cannot be ascertain
ed 1t will probably show itself at Cleve-
load next Wednesday when a resolution is
offered indorsing Garfelds administration.
1t is intended that this resolution shall
make no reference to the Garfield Conkling
difficulty, so as to avoid any opposition or
discussion.

ALBANY, June 6.-Senator Eidman pre-
sented! petition OF 3,100 citizens of the
eighth senatorial district asking for the re-
turn of Conkling and Platte.
Three protests against the election of
Conkling and Platt were presented from
st. Lawrence county.
Mr.. Forster gave notice that he is paired
with Mr.. Aster on all voting for United
States senators until December 81, 1881,
when either is absent. Both are Repubti-
cans. Senator Lord asked which senator
had left the ranks of the Repub-
ican party. Senator Sessions gave
notice he would move a call of the Sen
ate whenever he found both Senators abb
sent without leave from the Senate. Joint
convention reassembled at 2 o'clock and
proceeded to vote for vacancy caused by
the resignation of Conkling The follow
ing is the result OF the vote by Senators:
Conkling 6, Rogers 3, Bradley /, Wheeler
g. Cornell f. Folger /. The assembly
voted as follows: Jacobs %, Conkling 90,
Cornell IL, Wheeler 8, Lapham 8, Rogers
10, Tremaine 1, total vote, Jacobs 25,
Conkiing g. Cornell Is, Wheeler
Il, Lapham 8, Rogers, 13, Bradley
Folger, 1; Tremaine, 1. There were five
pairs announced in the senate and nine are
in the assembly. Neither Conkling nor
Platt is here, nor is Vice President Arthur
and no rooms have been engaged for them
at the Delavan. All talk now is as to how
an adjournment can be carried. No hope
is being enterse med of breaking the dead
lock and effecting an election.
The vote on successor to Platt: Platt
90. Depew 81, Herman 26, Cornell O. Mil
Ter 9. The rest was scattering. In the
senate Wooden said the petition presented
by Eidman was simply copy Of the poll
list. All the names were written in red
ink and in one haad Eidman said he had
discovered the petition was fraud in joint
convention. Woodin offered as rules to
govern The proceedings
First-That they meet daily at noon un-
til two senators were elected, or the 1egis
laturs finally adjourns.
Second-The joint assembly shall ad
iourn daily until next noon, except SatuF-
day, when it adjourns to Monday.
Third-Only a two-third vote shall re-
scind these rules.
They were ordered printed. There were
six pairs in the assembly.
