SPRINGFIELD, June 13.-The convention

Mr.. Townsend, upon assuming the chair.
delivered a very well-considered speech.
He counselled considsrate AMI patriotic az
ton in making nominations, and thanked the
convention for tho honor it had conferred on
himself
Mr.. W. s. Cappeller moved that the con-
vention proceed with the regular order of
business, the naming of candidates. The
call of counties was begun. When Colum-
biana county was reached Judge Amber
arose and presented the name Of Gen. Beatty.
Allen Miller, Of Perry, seconded ths pressn-
tation.
Miller Outcalt, Of Cincinnati, presented
the nams Of j. B. Foraker. Ex-Governor

said that he knew by personal experience
that Republican candidate for governor Of
Ohio is once in while defeated, through no
fault of his own. He contended that the
Waterloo of two years ago was not defeat
of Foraker 1t was the defeat Of ths Rspub-
ican party. Walter S. Thomas (colorsd), of
Delaware comfy, seconded the nomination
of Foraker as representative of the colored
race, who are said to be antagonistic to
Judge Foraker.
When Logan county was called, Judge
West, the blind Man Eloquent, was led
forward amid indescribable enthusiasm to
present Gen. Kennedy's name. Representa-
tive Ryan, of Scioto county, seconded the
nomination Of Kennedy in an eloquent
speech. The convention went wild at the
mention of Foraker's name.
The roll call was commenced without de-
lay and the vote proceeded without incident,
but amid breathless interest, until Trumbull
county was reached. Then to the surprise
of majority of the convention it threw its
thirteen votes to Foraker, thus bring
ing his total to but ons short Of
the number required to secure the nomina-
ton. A scene OF wild excitem ,nt resembling
On a smaller scale the one enacted in Chicago
last year when Biains was hominatei, en-
sued. The delegates stool on chairs and
tables and cheered themselves hoarss. The
band struck up marching Through Geor-
gia," and the delegates took up the refrain
and rendered it again and again Finally
whel the enthusiasm had somewhat subside1
the proposer Of the other candidates rose as
one man with motions to make the nomina-
ton unanimous The motions were carried
by reclamation but it was finally decided to
continue the roll call
This was done and tho result stood: Rose
62, Beatty III, Kennedy 15S, Foraker 46O.
A ballot for lieutenant governor was then
declared in order. T. w. BrothertOn, of
Auglaize county, was nominated, but it
was evident that the convention had
determined to push Gen. Kennedy
into the placs. Brotherton's nnms
was withdrawn and Gen. Kennedy nomina-
ted by acclamation amid renewed excite
ment Many thought he wouH not accept,
but Gems. Noyes and Warren Keefer in brief
but pointed speech es, declared that he must

Gen. Kennedy was brought to the front
and said he was not a candidate. His
further remarks were rendered inaudibls by
shouts OF "You must be-" and cheers for

he came to the front again and said that
while it was the first time he had been
drafted, he would conform to the will OF the
convention aud Of party. Applause loud
and long followed.
