COLUMBUS, o., June 6-The Republican
State Convention was called TO order at 10
o'clock am, with such a crush Of people in
| Inc opershouse that the delegates secured
| sests with great difficulty. The Committee
| on Credentials reported ali the delegations
full and no contest. When the name Of SEN
ator Sherman was announced as permanent
chairman, the Convention burst into wild
enthusiasm and long continued applause.
He returned thanks for the renewed honor
| from the Republicans OF Ohio, and said such
| conventions as these have given inspi-
ration 10 the party since 1866. A world OF
history Is compressed in the past twenty
eight years, at the beginning of which the
Union WAS almost as rope OF sand, and
doctrines we're proclaimed which would have
disbsnded the government; but every step 10
progress has been the work of the Rspublis
can party, and ia now part OF its work. The
speaker reviewed the progress OF the party.
and said it never stood behind or postponed
conventions, but know What they want and
do it. An element OF party SUCCESS was that
when they proposed anything grand il was
opposed by the Democratic party. The Re-
| publican party, he said, believed in the pro-
lection of American labor aud in the taxa
ton OF the liquor traffic.
The Convention then proceeded TO the
| nomination Of State ticket, the Hon. Ben
| Butterworth presenting the name of J. 3.

| quieted by Senator Sherman rapping order
vigorously, when lie stated that he had not
been insensible TO the preference OF large
| number of delegates, bat he would cay
| frankly and openly that he would not be a
| candidate. He could not surrender his
! dstes III the Senate in justice to the people
| Of Ohio and the country. Aside from this, he
| could not accept the nomination without
| feelings of personal dishonor. Judge For
aker was then nomin ated by acclaim alton.
Mr.. Foraker appeared later and made a
| lengthy speech of thank, pledging his best
efforts to the cause and outlining the i'm
portance of the campaign.

Seeoad.-That the Republican party believe now
as in the past, in the maintenance of Il tariff sys-
TEN which shall provide a revenue for the govern

producers and American labor that 1t is opposed
to the Democratic doctrine of tariff for revenue
only, because such doctrine, III enforced would

foreign rivals. 1t looks with alarm upon the pur-
pose already avowed by the Democratic leaders
that the next Congress will revise theitarf by fur
