commission and recommending serv-
ice pension bill were received with cor
dial kindness. When the resolution in
dorsing Foraker's administration was
reached there was another Outburst.
The promised tempest over an in
dorsement of the civil service
law was avoided by simply i'll
dorsing the utterances of the national
convention of 1888 on that subject. The
seating capacity of the opera house was
not adequate, aud the convention was
interrupted for five minutes while the
sergeant-at-arms elected from the seats
belonging to some Of the delegates per-
sons who had no right among them.
The call of counties was then called
for the purpose of having the candi-
dates named. w. S. Kerr, of Richland
county. a one-armed orator, pre-
sented E. L. Lampson, of Ashta-
bula county, the speaker of the
Robert Nevin. of Dayton. presented Con-
gressman H. L. Morey, of Butler county,
as candidate for governor, with uncom
mon force and wit. EX-GOv. j. B. Neil,
of Franklin county, was presented by
ex-Attorney General George K. Nash.
Wilson Vance was presented BY w. j.
Fischer OF Hancock county. There was
a stir of interest when Festus Walters,
of Logan county, came forward to pre-
sent Congressman Robert Kennedy, of
Bellefontaine. Gen. Asa Jones, Of
Mahoning county, was handsomely pre-
sented to the convention by Hon. Will
lam Mckinley. Gen. r. r. Dawes, of
Marietta, was presented by Gen. c. II.
Grosvenor. The nominating speeches
were finished at 1890 and
THE BALLoTING COMMENCED.
The first ballot was as follows: For
aker, 2O7; Kennedy, 1877; Dawes. Sc;
O'Neal, SO; Lampson, SO; Jones, So;
Morev, AZ; Vance, 45; Neil, 81; Gibson,
90; Bushnell, l. On the second ballot
Foraker captured the convention, and
all the counties rushed to get into line.
The friends of all the other counties
moved to make Foraker's nomination
unanimous, and it was done. This
makes the fourth nomination FOrakerhas
sOugh. A committee consisting of Mai.
Mckinley, Congressman Grosvenor and
Mayor Gardiner, of Cleveland, was sent
to inform Gov. Foraker of his nomina-
ton. They returned in twenty min
utes with Gov. Foraker. whose advent
called for tremendous cheering, which
lasted several minutes. Gov. Foraker
then made a characteristic Republican
speech which delighted the delegates.
After Foraker's speech the convention
quickly completed its work by nominat-
ing E. l.. Lampson, of Ashtabula
county, for lieutenant governor; Judge
7. j. Dickman, of Cleveland, for supreme
Judge; John c. Brown, OF jefferson,
treasurer; U. n. Hester, clerk of the
supreme court; d. K. Watson. of Frank
lin, for attorney general; John Han
cock, of Ross, for commissioner of
schools, and w. NJ. Hahn for member
of board of public works. Gov. Foraker
has received kilograms of congratula-
tion from all parts Of the country. No
other Ohio man has ever been given
four, or even three, consecutive NOM
nations for governor, and his grasp on
the people of the state is apparently
stronger than ever. All of the anti
Foraker men behaved handsomely in
the convention, and the convention
seemed to break up in harmony. It's
currently reported, however. that For
aker's enemies among the Ohio defega-
tion in congress will quietly knife him
at the polls.
