| COLUMBUS, O., Aug 25.--The Ohio Repub-
| lican convention could not have asked for a
more glorious day. The Fourteenth regi-
ment armory, where the convention was
held, was BEAUTIFULLY decorated with flags and
| looped festoons of national colors. Pendent
bouquets graced the hall which announced
the place Of each of the twenty-one districts
delegations.
The convention was called to order at 1875
| by Chairman Lowry of the central commit
tee, who introduced Rev. W. r. Moore, who
made brief but fervent prayer, asking for
the divine guidance in the deliberation of the
convention.

graduated the Republican party upon its
prospects of success in the coming campaign.
He prophesied that either James G. Bla e or
John Sherman would lead the Republican
forces in 1883 The applause was not only
enthusiastic but it was impartially divided
between the two names Later on when the
name Of John Sherman was mentioned in
the address it received an encore and so
scored one point ahead of Mr.. Blaine. The
names Of Governor Foraker and Lieutenant
Governor Kennedy were also applauded.
Chairman Lowry introduced the temporary,
officers, Ex-Governor and Gen. Edward
Noyes, Of Hamilton, and Judge Miller, of
Springfield.
Cen Noyes met with the most hattering
and cordial reception.
Gen. Noyes was in excellent form and his
magnificent voice carried his words to the
EXTREMIST portions Of the immense hall He
was constantly interrupted by applause and
cries of "Goodw "Goodm
During the delivery of Gen. Noyes' speech
the scenes Of the convention were very in
spring. On the stage appear the faces of
many distinguished Ohioans and on the very
front Of the platform is la~ge and elegant
floral piece bearing the word which seems to
have become the orifamO of Ohio Republi-
canism, "Foraker"

much applause.
