FORAKER NOMINATED.

Only Two Ballots Necessary for n Choice
In the Ohio Republican Convention.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 27.-The sec
ond and important day in the session of
the Republican state convention was
called to order at 1890 o'clock by Con-
gresham w. c. Cooper, who was made
permanent chairman of the convention.
All the other officers of the temporary
organization were continued. The reso-
buttons limiting nominating speeches to
five and seconding speeches to three
minutes were applauded.
Congressman c. II. Grosvenor. Of
Athens, came forward in a storm of ap
plause to read the platform. He said
that the report was the unanimous work
of the committee. The tariff plank, the
resolution indorsing President Harrison
and work of the pension and recon-
intending a service pension bill were re-
ceived with cordial kindness. When the
resolution indorsing Foraker's name was
reached there was another outburst.
The promised tempest over an indorse-
ment Of the civil service law was
avoided by simply indorsing the utter
anceS of the national convention OF 1888
on that subject.
The nominating speeches were finished
at 1890 and the balloting commenced.
Foraker put forth no effort but his
friends hoped to nominate him on the
first or second ballot. The opposition to
giving Foraker third term had grown
during the night and morning, but not
sufficient TO defeat him.
The first ballot was as follows: Fora
ker 207, Kennedy 1877, Dawes SO, ONeal
80, Lampson SO, Jones So, Morey AZ,
Vance 40, Neil 81, Gibson %, Bush
Rell1.
On the second ballot Foraker captured
the convention and all the counties are
rushing TO get into line. The friends of
all the other candidates moved to
make Foraker's nomination unanimous,
and it was done This makes the fourth
nomination Foraker has had for gov
ernor, and it came to him unsolicited.
A committee, consisting of Maj.
Mckinley, Congressman Grosvenor
and Mayor Gardiner, of Cleveland,
was sent to inform Governor Foraker of
his nomination. They returned in
twenty minutes with Governor Foraker,
| whose advent called for tremendous
! cheering, which lasted several minutes.
Governor Foraker then made charac-
teristic Republican speech, which de-
| lighted the delegates.
After FOrakers speech the convention
quickly completed its work by nominal
| ing +. L. Lampson, of Ashtabula county,
| for Lieutenant governor; Judge T. j.
! Dickman, OF Cleveland, for supreme
| Judge: John C. Brown, of Jefferson,
treasurer; U. ii. Hester, clerk of the
supreme court: ID. X. Watson, of Frank
lin, for attorney general: John Hancock,
! of Ross. for commissioner of schools,
and w. N. Hahn for member of board
of public works.

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

EAGLE LAKE, Mimi, June %.
A large company of invited guests as.
sembled at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. S. Englerth at 8 O'Clock Satur-
day evening, June %, to celebrate the
9th birthday of Mrs. j. S. Englerth.
The large parlor as we'll as other rooms
was packed and when all were seated
Miss Otto was called upon to sing and
play the piano which she did to the Joy
of all present Also Miss Away, her
father and sister sang and played piece
entitled "The Two Soldier Boys" which
was beautiful. After enjoying the sing
ing for some time supper was announced
and as the large company wendell their
way through the hall TO the dining
room and around the table joy was de-
picted in the features of all present to
see the table fairly groan under its
heavy load of eatables. Cakes of all
kinds, pies too numerous to mention,
strawberries and cream, ice cream and
everything you could desire was set be-
fore You and you was welcome. On the
center of the table was frosted monu-
ment with the base covered with beau
tiful flowers and on two sides were
written, "In Honor of Mother, and
on the opposite two sides were written,
"Welcome Friends" After supper all
re paired to the parlor and Elder G. ID.
Cook presented very many beautiful
presents to Mrs. Englerth. Among them
was An elegant plush easy chair which
was presented to her by Eagle Lake
friends. The chair is what she needs in
her declining years. Mrs. Englerth was
too overjoyed to say anything but Mr..
Englerth made some very appropriate
remarks. He said he liked those gath
erings and thought we always felt better
when we were not too selfish, that We
ought not to live entirely for self buttry
to make others happy and by 30 doing
we would be happy ourselves. He
thought as there were 60 souls passing
away everv minute we should not, in
all probability, all meet here again. Ali
enjoyed themselves and wished that
they might live to see manv more such
birthdays.
/ wish to say here that great credit is
due Earl and Ella Englerth who got
up this birth day party in honor of their
mother. Earl and Ella did all the cook
ing at their home and brought it over to
Mr.. and Mrs. j. s. Englerth's. Every
thing was in order and made to please
the taste without any regard to time or
expense. Children that will go to so
much trouble and expense to please
mother surely will have their reward.
Mother will appreciate it and others
will notice it; they will be remembered.
At 80 all departed to their homes
glad to have been at the birthday party.

Secretary Tracey Sued.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-George B.
Ormsby, late an ensign in the navy, has
brought suit in the supreme court of the
district against Secretary Tracey for
100000 damages for trespassing, incl
dent to his recent imprisonment at Mare
Island, Cal, his trial by court martial,
and his dismissal from the service.
Ormsby alleges that there were not suf-
ficient grounds for his arrest, no autho-
rity for his long imprisonment, that he
was not furnished with copies of the
charges and specifications against him
and that in various ways the defendant
violated the revised statutes in conduct
ing his Csc. Ormsby alleges that the
orders said to have been disobeyed by
him were illegal, and oppressive to the
last degree. The secretary turned the
bill over to the judge advocate general
for review.
