COLUMBUS, o., June THE Committee
on Permanent Organization of the RepUbh-
can State Convention last night selected
Senator Sherman fer President of the Con-
vention.
The Convention was called to order at 10
o'clock this morning, with such crush Of
people In the Opera House that the dele
gates secured seates with great difficulty.
When the name of Senator Sherman, as
Permanent Chairman, was presented the
Convention burst into wild enthusiasm and
long continued applause. He returned
thanks for this honor from the Republicans
of Ohio, and said 1t was such Conventions
as these that had given inspiration to the
party since 1855.
The Convention then proceeded to the
nomination of State ticket. Hon. Benja-
min Butterworth presented the name OF J.
B. Foraker, of Cincinnati. When j. NJ.
alzcll offered the name of John Sherman
the Convention again became wild, and
could only be quieted by Senator Sherman
rapping vigorously for order, when he
stated that he had not been insensible
to the preference of large number Of dele
gates, but he would say; frankly aud firmly,
that he could not be caudiGate--could not
surrender his duties in the Senate in justice
to the people Of Ohio aud the country.
Aside from this, he could not accept the
nomination without feelings OF personal dis
honor.

clamation and unanimously.

his best efforts TO the cause and quitting the
imp rtance OF the campaign.
