DAYTON, April 1s.-The Republican State
Convention met at the Rink ut o'clock this
afternoon. and was called to order by the
Chairman of the State Central Committee. Mr.
Keifer, formerly Speaker OF the National House
OF Representatives, was made temporary
Chairman. while David Laning Of Columbus,
Clerk OF the lower branch Of the Ohio Legisla-
ture, was elected Secretary.
On taking the stand Gen. Keller made a long
rambling speech, in which he said that every
thing that the country had to regret or be
ashamed of since 1856 had been done by the
Democratic party. while all that was great and
glorious in all these years had been accom-
plished by the Republican party He de-
nounced President Cleveland's vetoes, and
what he called the unjust apportionment
OF different States for Congress purposes
and asserted that the increase of popu-
lation had given the South nine new
members Of Congress. while the North had
five new ones only; that South Caroliua, with
100000 population, had got two new Congress-
men, as also had Mississippi, while Ohio. with
523,0OO population. had lost one. But, he
thanked God. oil this would be remedied. He
hoped the time would come when every man in
the South. white and black. could vote rs he
pleased and have his vote counted. Gen. Keller
eulogized John Sherman. and favored his
nomination for President AT the mention Of
the name OF Sherman the Convention went
wild, and the delegates cheered them-
selves hosrse. Men rose in their seats
and waved their hats and handkerchiefs.
The speaker was compelled to stop. and when

broke forth afresh
Keifer said John Sherman was the greatest
fnancier OF this or any other age. and told Of
the many great things he had done in the past
thirty years. but he did not mention how Sher-
man went South In 1876 and helped steal Lou
isians from Tilden and for Hayes
At the conclusion Of his speech q resolution
was introduced by a delegate rendering to Mrs.
Roscoe Conkling the Conventions sincere re-
Gret and profound sorrow over the death Of her
husband. The Convention took an aye and nay
vote, and al voted =" Aye " except one man. who

will both get left.
THE Sun reporter left Columbus this morn
ing on the train carrying the Governor, Mrs.
Foraker and party, and wherever the train
stopped Gov. Foraker was cheered and called
on FOR a speech. At Springfield he respSnld3ed. l3
and also here from the balcony OF the Phillips
tion. and was met with storm Of applause:
and cheered again and again as he walked
down the aisle.
Sherman was telegraphed to at Washington
by Dayton business men and politicians 70

, comply with the request.
TIE ostensible objection to Fosters election

record. but the real reason Ia because he Is q
