NOT AVAILABLE.

The State Convention Adopts Long
Resolution Highly Eulogistic of the
Judge-The Prohibition Issue Avoided
New jerseys Democrats Out in
Force.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL, May Sit was after
l O'Clock this morning when the Republi-
can State Convention adjourned. George
Hunt was nominated for Attorney General.
The committee on platforms report was
sent, with the following addition:
The needed change Of administration can be
accomplished by the selection of a candidate
whose courage, character and record commands
universal confidence and will concentrate the
united and enthusiastic support of the whole
Republican party. We must have an aggressive,
not defensive campaign. For leader in such
campaign, we turn with one accord TO Walter
y. Gresham. In the opinion OF this convention
he is the best and most available candidate to
lead the Republican party to victory in the
coming Presidential election.
BY his brave and patriotic services in war and
the abolition of slavery, Walter q. Gresham
has won warm place in the hearts of the vol
unteer soldiers ana the emancipated race
BY his important labors in two great Cabinet
positions he has demonstrated high qualities as
a statesman,
BY his answering rectitude on the bench in
holding the scales OF justice on an even poise,
or poverty OF sutors, he has gained the conf
dence of the people, who recognize in him
a just and fearless Judge; and in
his whole life, from it's humble beginning
to his present high position as Circuit Judge for
the great States of Indiana, Illinois and is
souri,. the people have seen in him traits of
character resembling those of the immortal
Lincoln. We feel confident that his nomi-
nation for President by the national convention
will restore the administration to the keeping
of the Republican party and give the nation a
traditions and aspirations. We therefore re-
quest the delegates from this State to the
national convention to use all honorable means
to secure his nomination.
The protective tariff was favored. An
attempt was made to get the convention
to adopt a resolution favoring the sub
mission of a prohibition amendment to tie
people, but it failed of passage.
The platform, including the above, was
adopted

cinnati's Loyal Legion.

CINCINNATI, o., May Sat the annual
dinner Of the Loyal Legion last night, Gen
Sherman, commander, presided and was
the toast master His remarks were listened
to with marked attention, especially when
at nearly , o'clock in the morning he arose
to say good bye 1t was felt by many that
this would probably be his last appearance,
as he declined reelection, and his residence
in New York makes 1t inconvt nient for him
to attend. Almost deathlike stiffness pre-
vailed The general spoke with feeling Of
the extraordinary scene. He said IL was de-
lightful to see such body of men together,
so strong physically and mentally, and to
hear such speeches. He was sure no Euro
pean country could produce such gather
ing, vet he had seen similar meetings all
over this land from Maine to Puget Sound,
even In New Orleans and Atlanta. The
lessons of patriotism and loyalty to the flag
inculcated here he begged his companions
to carry home with them and teach them to
their children and grandchildren, and with
this he said farewell, asking the com
mandery to join in singing America.
Responses to toasts were made by Gov.
Foraker, Gen. Willard Warren, Of Alaba-
ma, ex- President Hayes, Col. Dyer, Of 81.
Louis, Capt. Thomas Speed, of Louisville
