The Republican Convention - senate

and a state Ticket Put Up.
COLUMBUS, June 6. - The Republican
State convention was called to order at 10
O'Clock this morning. The COMMITTEES on
credentials reported all delegations full and
no contests. When the name of Senator
Sherman as permanent chairman was called
the convention burst into wild enthusiasm
and long continued applause. He returned
thanks for this honor from the Republicans
of Ohio, and said it was such conventions as
these that had given inspiration to the party
since 1856. A world of history is comprised
ming of which the Union was almost as a rope
of sand, and doctrines were proclaimed which
would have disbsnded the government.
But every step of progress has been the work
of the Republican party. The speaker re-
viewed the progress of the party and said it
had never stood behind or postponed con.
ventions, but knew what was wanted and had
done it. An element of the party's success
was that when it proposed anything grand it
Republican party, he said, believed in the
protection of American labor and in the tax
alton of the liquor traffic. One question was
national the other State. He spoke of the
diversity of opinion on the traffic. some ia
voring prohibition and the others Iegis-
latiye control. The trainers of the con-
stitution did not provide for the taxa.
ton of liquor traffic for fear they would be-
come responsible for it, but he believed that
the tax law was the wisest measure before
the people. The Scott law filled the bill and
they would stand by it. If the Supreme
would ask, as have done the people, to
change the constitution so they can tax. If
the law was in operation one year, the Dem
ocrats would not dare to oppose it.
The committee then proceeded to the
nomination of State ticket. Benjamin
Butterworth presented J. B. Foraker, of
Cincinnati When j. M. DalzeI offered
the name of Senator Sherman the con-
vention again became wild and could
only be quieted by Senator Sherman rapping
vigorously for order, which being obtained,
he said that he had not been insensible to
the preference of large number of dele
gates. But he would say frankly and firmly
that he could not be candidate could not
surrender his duties in the Senate in justice
to the people of Ohio and of the country.
Aside from this, he could not accept the
nomination without feelings of personal dis
honor. Judge Foraker was then nominated
by reclamation and unanimously. Judge
Foraker later made quite long speech of
thanks, pledeing his best efforts to the cause,
and outlining the Importance of the cam
paign.
The ticket was completed as follows:
Lieutenant Governor, William G. Rose of
Cleveland; supreme judge dong term), w.
H. Epson of Akron, the present incumbent !;

ty; auditor, j ohm F. Ogilvie of Clark county.
