With Geo. N. Jewett for Second Place
II the Event Of His
OecIination.
WHAT A REPUBLICAN, LEADER SAYS.
Sp.eiaI % iAs Rsristsr.


COLUMBUS, o., August 10 wing to the
dispute which recently arose between Gov.
HOadly and Hon. Joseph P Carberry, of
Cincinnati it is not improbable that the
former may positively decline to permit the
use OF his name before the Democratic State
Convention on Thursday next. This prob
ability has been gaining rapidly within the
pat twenty-tour hours, and if it continues,
'be whole slate is liable to q sudden change.
Gov. Hosily, in q recent conversation,
stated to your correspondent that be was in
no sense q candidate for denomination and
had never been. Ifit was the desire of the
convention that be should head the ticket,
be would feel it q duty to respond to the
call and make the fight. At the same
time he would willingly see another nomi-
mated and Sould take the stump in his be-
hat. II at the assembling of the eOuveu-
tioD be found any considerable objection
20 has nomination, or any considerable num-
Der of delegates who believed tha, another
candidate would add greater strength to the
ticket, he would positively decline to let his
name 60 before the convention
There is no doubt a5Ou, majority of the
delegates being in favor OF Gov. Hoadly's
nomination, but am satisfied that be will
refuse to permit his name to be considered
u-,ss ,Lere is g strong probability OF q
prsctllsl lly unanimous nomination. At
press1t he is not sure but that considerable
opUo,ition will be manifested, and holds
the question Of his candidacy under ad-
visemeut. BY Tuesday or Wednesday he
will decide positively one way or the other.
Gen. Durbiu Ward.
In the event of the withdrawal of Hoadly,
the friends Of Gen. Durbin Ward will en-
deavor 10 secure the nomination OF the old
war horse bv sCClamat.on, and thsee are
stronr chances that he viii succeed. Next
after Ward the name Of Congressman
Geddes. of Mansfield is warmly csnvAssed.
Either Of them would make popular can,
didate, but Gen. Ward, next after bis
stsuuch friend and warm supporter Allen
G. Thurman could most certainly call the
old guard into the field and make the tight
red hot one.
Ward tor Governor and Geo. W. Jewett,
ofZsnesylle. tor Li-utenant Governor, in
the evgrt Of uoldl withdrawal is 8
favorite combination in nearly sll parts OF
the State. Il would form a remarkably
strong ticket, and one that would unite the
party and evoke the most hearty enthusiasm
IN all parts OF the State.
The refusal OF Gen. Charles Il. eros
yenor. Republican Congressman elect from
the Fourteenth District to come 10 Colum-
bus to atteLd any of the party conferences,
and bis Ceclination TO speaN here a. all dur
ing the campaign, has provoked attention
and criticism, and several recent attacks IN
hls paper, the Athens Herald, upon Chair
man Asa Bushwell and his management OF
the can paigu, lends color TO the runor that
there Is a Dig Republican revolt Just under
the surface which is liable TO break out at
snv moment. Gen. GrOsven0r was very
much dissatisfied with the way things were
done at Springfield. and woult PROBABLY not
grieve very much TO see the Republican
State ,icstt defeated. ". 4. l.
