COLUMBUS, June Tho republican state
convention was called TO order at 10 q. IN
with such crush of people in the opera
house that delegates secured seats with
great difficulty. The committe on creden
tials reported all delegates full and no con.
test. When the name of Senator Sherman
was announced as permanent charm an
the convention burst into wild enthusiasm
and long continued applauses. He re
turned thanks for the renewed honor from
the republicans of Ohio, and said such con
ventions as these have given inspiration tc
the party since 1855. A world of history /,
compressed IN the past twenty-eighI
years, at the beginning of which
the Union was almost as rope of sand and
doctrines were proclaimed which would
have disbauded the government, but every
step of progress has been the work OF the
Republican party and Is now part of its
work. The speaker reviewed the progres.
of the party and said II never stood behind
or postpQned conventions, but knew wha,
they wanted and did II. An element o
party success was when they proposed any.
thing grand it was opposed by the Demo.
cratic party. The Republican party, he
said. believed in the protection of American
labor and in the taxation OF the liquor
traffic.
The convention then proceeded tc
the nomination OF a state ticket
Ben Butterworth presenting j. B. Foraker
of Cincinnati; J. NJ. Dalsell offered the
name of Sherman ana the convention again
became wild and could only be quieted by
Sherman rapping to order vigorously, when
he said he had not been iDsensible to the
preference OF large number of delegates
but he would say frankly that he could no,
be a candidate and could not surrender his
duties in the senate in justice TO the people
OF OHIO and the country. Aside from this
he couldn't accept the nomination without
feelings Of personal dishonor.
Judge Foraker was then nominated by
acclamati0n.
Foraker appeared later and made quite {
lengthy speech of thanks, pledging his bes
efforts to the cause and outlining the i'm
portance of the campaign.
After the nomination for governor the
committee on resolutions reported as fol
lows, which were unanimously adopted.
First-That the republican party in pre-
serving the life OF the nation; in givin,
freedom and equal rights to all Of its citi
zens; In the reconstruction Of the union; il
upholding the national honor; in the Gen
erous provision made for those who hay,
suffered for their country; in keeping th,
national faith and advancing the nationa
credit; in the speedy payment of the publ,
laht, In tha valuation nf ati
in the elevation OF civil service; in tn,
enactment of series of wise publ,
measures, which have given the colntr,
unexampled prosperity, have given tn,
best assurance OF its purposes lor the future
Second. That the republican party be-
lieves now, as in the past, IN the mainte
nance ofa tariil system, which will provide
revenue for the government, aud ut the
same time protect American producers and
labor; that 1t is opposed to the democratic
doctrine OF a tariff for revenue only. be.
cause such doctrine, If enforced, would OF
necessity compel American workmen tc
accept the unremunerative wages which are
paid their foreign rivals. 1t looks with
alarm on the purpose avowed by the dem.
ocratic leaders, that the next Congress re.
wise the tariff by further reducing duties on
imports, which, if executed, will unsettle
the business of the country and will pro.
duce great injury to the mechanics, pro.
ducers and artisans OF the land.

be restored at the first possible opportun-
ity.

changes in the organic law of the state as
may be approved by their judgment.
Sixth-We approve OF taxation OF the
liquor traffic for revenue and for the pur-
pose ofproviding against the evils resulting
from such traffic.
Seventh-That we congratulate the coun.
try on the reduction by The last congress OF

at the same time the credit of the nation
has been maintained and the steady red TO-
tion of the nationsl debt provided for.
Eighth-rhaJ the wise and conservative
administration of President Arthur meets
with the hearty approval of the republican,
oi Ohio.
Ninih--Thst we commend the action Of

Tenth-We reiterate the declarations Of
he previous republican conventions In
favor OF civil service reform, and welcome
every intelligent eif,rt 10 make that meas

provisions made by the republican congress
for giving the patriotic soldiers Of the late
war, with proper qualifications, preference
for all places under the government.
Eleventh-That we favor the repeal OF the
law limiting the time in which appeals for
pensions under the pension act must be

TwelNh-That gradual improvement Of
public institution OF the state, the success
ful refunding Of the public debt at a rate oil
interest lower than loan has been placed
by any other state, provision for the pay.
ment OF 81 100000 OF the public debt, the
improved financial condition of the state
being such that we may reduce tho rate OF
taxation and ut the same time be amply
able to make large expenditures for The
benefit OF charitable institutions of the
state-all this having been accomplished in
the face OF what appeared to be an absolute
necessity under democratic administration
to increase the state tax-attests the wis.
dom, care and economy Of the administrs.
tio1 Of Governor Foster, and Is an assurance
to the people of the state that their best In.
ierests are 10 be subserved by q continuance
OF the republican party In power.
