nounCsd the place OF each Of the twenty
one district delegations. The news OF the
morning was the withdrawal OF the CaRdi
dacy OF Clement Bates, OF Hamilton comfy
for Supreme Judge, which left the Gin

The convention was called 10 order al

the Central Committee, who introduced
Rev, W. L. Moore, who made brief hui
fsrvent prayer, asking for Divine guidance
in the deliberations Of the convention,
Mr., Lowry, in some extended remarks
congratulated the Republican party upon
Its prospects Of success in the approaching
campaign, He prophesied that either
James g. Blaine or John Sherman will
lead the Republican forces in 1858, The
applause was not only enthusiastic but it
was also impartially distributed between
the two names. Later, when the name OF
John Sherman was mentioned in the ad-
dress, 1t received an encore, and so scored
one point ahead Of Mr., Blaine. The names
OF Governor Foraker and Lieutenant. Gov
ernor Kennedy were also applauded.
Chairman Lowry introduced the tenn.
porary officers, Ex-Governor Edward E. F.
Noyes, OF Hamilton, and Judge Miller, Of
Springfield. Gen. Noyes met with the
most iiattering and cordial reception, and
taking the chair spoke as follows;
NoYEs' sPEEou,
l am under obligations to the Rspubli-
can State Executive Committee for the
honor Of being called upon to preside over
your temporary organization. | have
reached that age when perhapsI have a
right to consider myself one OF the veter.
ans Of the Republican army, on tho re.
tired list In time Of peace, but reasonably
well preserved and ready for battle in
time Of war.
General Noyes then reviewed the his.
tory Of the Republican party. The Re.
publican party, he said, Is unalterably op-
posed TO the purchase and sale for money
Of seats In the Senate oEths United States,
as they are bought and sold as sheep are
bought and sold in the shambles OF the
butcher; to the stutEing OF ballot boxes and
forging and Justification Of election re.
turns; the unlawful and brutal interier.
enCe Of so.Called police and others with
voters at the polls; to the counting OF
patent forgery and fraud by judicial deCi.
sions because such iniquity is regular on
the face OF the returns; 70 the corrupt use
Of money by rich corporations or lndi.
yiduals to influence elections and thereby
thwart the will OF the people.
NATIONAL AND STATE AFFAIRS.
Referring to the Administration, he said
we have seen q man selected as a can.
didate for the highest Office In this land
without any experience in National
adaira, without aslngle pronounced opin.
ion on record regarding any important
question OF governmental policy, foreign
relations, tariff, currency, banking systems
internal improvement or any other, and
under the false pretense OF reform elected
President OF the United States over one Of
the most brilliant and accomplished
statesmen whose genius and achlevemeuts
have ever adorned the high places ol
public trust.
He then went on to say that here in
Ohio we have seen political crimes com.
United so bold, braZsn and infamous that
when exposed the public sense was ap.
palled at their enormity; we have seen
these crimes, at first mildly condemned
by the Democratic party, then apologize d
for, and at last defended aud approved;
we have seen the whole Democratic side
Of the Ohio Senate, when convinced that
their efforts to secure the benefits OF fraud
and forgery were hopeless, desert their
public duties and take refuge In another
State beyond the reach oil the process Of
the law, We have seen the purchase OF n
United States Senatorship acknowledged
and charged by more than half OF the
Democratic press oil the State, yet the scat
remained In silonCe, while the bribe.
giver and bribe.taker have been shielded
from Justice and punishment by all the
methods which money Corruptly used,
social influence and technical Considera.
tions could command. But notwithstand.
ing the procession OF political criminals
has already started for the Ohio peniten.
tiary, unfortunately 1t is marching left in
front, but there Is q guard in the rear
with bayonets.
