KEIFER LIKELY TO PRESIDE.
1t seems likely that ex-Speaker Keifer will be
invited to preside over Wednesdays proceedings,
the ground that nearly everyone else OF note in
the State has had this honor The State Auditor,
John L. Oglsvee. is TALKED Of as likely tV become
chairman of tho Republican Executive Committee,
and hence campaign manager in place of George X.
Nash, who accepted an appointment last winter to
tho Supreme Court Commission and is out Of active
l,ar do Wa1p al

ant Governor, two Judges of the Supreme Court,
Clerk of the Supreme Court. Attorney General,
Auditor of the State Treasurer of tie State School
Commissioner and member Of the Board of Public
Works.
Late developments confirm the impressions
formed several days ago with regard to the leader
ship of the ticket. Talk of Senator Sherman for
the first place il kept up, but IL Is without sub
stance 80 far No one supposes that Senator Sher-
man wants the nomination or would take it, unless
under moro pressing demand than seems at AL
probable. There Is a suspicion that Mr.. Keifer. who
seems mainly responsible for the Sherman agitation
is more concerned over possible vacancy in the
Senate than over the need of putting the strongest
man In the State at the head of the ticket. With.
out doubt Senator Sherman could have the nomin.
alton by consentng to take it, but for reasons
heretofore explained his inclnations have not
turned that way. What so impulsive creature as
a convention may do is of course beyond foresight.
The opportunities for greater things held out to
the winner of q contest stubborn as that in this
State promises to be. may swerve even Senator
Shermans steadfast purpose in a hot moment.
There is however, no prcmonition of heat.
MR.. FoRAKERs STRENGTH
The movement for Mr.. Foraker is wholesome
general strong and Straightforward. Reports from

pmlnated without ballot. ceases TO be wonderful.

would give first place to the southwestern part OF
giving Cleveland the second place for Mr.. Turney.
and the canvass would be propelled by the brill
fancy OF the lawyer and the blacksmiths sturdy
Two vacancies on the Supreme bench were filled
last winter by sppointment; One occurred when
Judge White was promoted by the President to tho
District Court and the other was due to the rcsig-
nation OF Judge Lougworth. Judge Doyle, OF
Toledo was appointed TO Judge W Whites place, ana
worth. These appointments must be confirmed at
the polls Judge Whites term would nave expired
i'm February last while Judge L0ngwortn wouio
have held on for three years. Consequently Judge
DOYLE will be nominated not only for Judge Whites
nnexpired term but for the ensuing full term OF
five years.
THE POSSIBLE TICKET.
Tho effort will be to distribute the ticket geo.
graphically, and unless the outlook should change
within thrty-sx hours it bids fair to be o. follows:

RELATIVE TO THE PLATFORM
Senator Sherman arrived hero tonight. He will
~ offered the craftsmanship of the Committee on
Resolutions and will thus have the framing of the
,latform should he wish to undertake 1t. 1t is be-
ieyed that ho will do so and that the platforms
alient features were foreshadowed in his Mansfield
peech OF Saturday, in which he declared for tariff
or the protection of labor and for the principle
mbodied in Republican legislation on the liquor
ne ston affirming the clear right OF the Legislature
