 SPRINGFIELD, O.. June 1.-The Republi- can State convention was called to order at 10 o'clock this morning by James K. O'Neal of Lebanon, chairman of the State commit tee Full delegations from the eighty eight counties of the State were present and over four hundred persons were packed in the wigwam where the convention was held. J. D. Taylor, of Guernsey county, was an nounced as temporary chairman, and in talk ing his seat made an address in which he said that here must begin the work to be completed in 1888. He had no criticism to make of President Cleveland, whom he be- lieved to be infinitely better than the party leaders behind him. Speaking of the con hict of labor MT. Taylor said: Both labor and capital are being driven into bankruptcy and ruin. Under Democratic rule in the South the laboring classes have been kept in 8 con- dition of ignorance and vassalage. equal to if not worse than the pauper labor of Europe As to remedy he said: We protect ourselves against foreign competition by pro tective tariff, but the only way to protect our people against sectional competition is to elevate the condition of the workingman in every part of the country alike In~ con- clusion the speaker said: "We will carry Ohio this year and we will carry tine country in 1888 as certainly as the stars are in the Armament above if Republicans do their du- tv. Even now the reverberations of victory are rolling in from all parts of Illinois where the grand old hero, John A. Logan, has taken the long contested fort. Take that struggle as your inspiration and you will achieve a victory in October that will shake the continents from the mountains to the sea. Ohio is and ever must be Repub- ican State; the State that so proudly upheld the banner of James G.: Blaine in 1884; the resting place of Garfield; the home of Sher- man, Sheridan and Hayes; the birthplace of that hero of heroes, Ulysses s. Grant, who is to-day watching from his sick room in the metropolis of the nation; the State that gave to the country 5000 brave and true soldiers must be ever 8 Republican State.
 Committees were appointed and the con- vention took recess until after dinner.
 Foraker was serenaded during the recess at the Arcade by the Young Mems Republi- can club of Cincinnati, 150 strong. The committee on permanent organization chose Hon. Amos Townsend permanent chairman. Neither Foraker, Beatty nor Kennedy were in the convention hall. They were at their headquarters hard by. The convention adopted the report of the committee on rules, limiting presentation speeches to five minutes each with not more than two min utes for seconding for any one candidate. All other speeches were limited to three min utes each. Ex Congressman Amber. of Columbiana county, presented the name of General Beatty for Governor. Roses was the second name presented. John c. Covert of the Cleveland Leader launched out amid the loudest applause. Ex-Judge Soldiers sec- onded the nomination. Miller Outcelt, ot Cincinnati, at 3:50 p. nj. presented the name of J. B. Foraker Ex-Governor Moves, in seconding Foraker's nomina- tion, said that he knew by personal experience that Republican candidate fo1 Governor of Ohio is once in while defeat ed through no fault of his own. When Lo- gan county was called Judge West, the ssblind man eloquent" :" was led forward General Kennedy's name. Representative Ryan, of Scioto county, seconded the nomin- ation of Kennedy in an eloquent speech. The convention went wild at the mention of Foraker's name. Outcelt contended in his nominating speech ''that the Waterloo ot two years ago was not defeat of Foraker It was the defeat of the Republican party Walter D. 1honlpsoh kcoloiouJ, oI DeiaWers county, seconded. the nomination oi Foraker as representative of the colored race who are said tc be antagonistic to Judge Foraker
 The roll call was commenced without delay and the vote proceeded without incident, but amid breathless interest, until Trumbul county was reached Then to the surprise of majority of the convention it threw its thirteen votes to Foraker, thus bringing his total to but one short of the number required to secure the nomination. A scene o1 wild excitemsnt, resembling on a smaller scale the one enacted in Chicago last year when Blaine was nominated, ensued. The delegates stood on chairs and tables an6 cheered themselves hoarse. The band struck up Marching Through Georgia and the delegates took up the refrain and rendered ii again and again. Finally when the enthusi asm had somewhat subsided the proposers ot the other candidates rose as one man to make the nomination unanimous. The motions were carried by exclamation but it was finally decided to- continue the roll call. This was done and the result stood Rose 62, Beatty IF, Kennedy 156, Foraker 460 The enthusiasm was renewed wheI Judge Foraker was brought before the con vention and it was several moments before he could make himself heard. He briefly expressed his thanks for the honor and prom ised to work earnestly during the campaign Kennedy and Beatty also spoke in a manly strain in support of Foraker.
 A ballot for lieutenant governor was then declared in order. T. w. Brotherton, o1 Auglaize county, was nominated, but it was evident that the convention had determined to push General Kennedy into the place Brotherton's name was withdrawn anC General Kennedy was nominated by exclamation amid renewed excite ment. Many thought he would mol accept, but General Moves and Warren Kei fer in brief but pointed speeches declared that he must and should accept. Genera Kennedy was brought to the front and sai6 that he was not candidate. His further re marks were rendered inaudible by shouts o
 "You must bet' and cheers for Kennedy
 When silence had been secured he came to
 the front again and said that while it wa!
 the first time he had been drafted he would
 conform to the will of the convention ant
 of the party. Applause
