Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
COLUMBUS, ONO, June N.--The work Of yes
terday's republican convention is the topic Of
conversation on the street and places OF
public resort, and the wisdom OF
the denomination Of Governor Foraker
for third term discussed in all
its bearings. While there ara few inclined to
the opinion that the third-term bugaboo will
prove a stumbling-block in the way of party
success, the great majority are solidly in favor
Of it, and appear ready to make the fight
on that issue il necessary. They say il we can
not elect Foraker we would stand a mighty
poor show with any other candidate, All Of the
aspirants for the gubernatorial nomination,
with single exception, take their defeat good
naturally, and
ACCEPT THE SITUATION
with becoming resignation, if not grace. The re-
publicans held a monster ratification meeting at
the City park last night at which all of the can
didates spoke. There was much enthusiasm and
the republicans left with every confidence in
Gen. Kennedy made a speech which was so in
dicative Of sour grapes as to attract the
attention of all present. He intimated
that the victors had taken advantage Of a flag
of truce and his braves had been unfairly taken
into camp. The general opinion is that Con-
gresham Kennedy made himself ridic-
nlous and should have accepted the result
with dignity. But as this is the second time
this distinguished warrior has been knocked
out Of the gubernatorial ring by the governor
HE REFUSES TO BE CoMFoRTED.
Acknowledgement Lyon sat upon the
platform in the convention yesterday among
the common herd Of politicians like the lone
fisherman, with none to do him reverence he
came out as a fullpledged gubernatorial

by the first suns of May and blown to the way
side by the adverse winds Of public sentiment.
He cast his lot with and aided in the republican
bolt in the senate, after assuming his
Office two years ago, since which
time he has not appeared at his best,
and a result the old ticket is before
the people again to-day. Barring Lyon,
who is in the soup, General James A. Robin
son. who was secretary of state at the time
of the bolt and aided in bringing it about,
went home last night in anything but
A HAPPY FRAME OF MIND.
Congressman Thompson was not over pleas
ed with the result, but is shrewd enough to
accept the inevitable without showing
his scars. 1t was trial that Congress-
man Grosvenor could not shrink from and
he braced up with determined resignation,
and read without finching the resolutions
istration OF Governor Foraker. The general
won the highest admiration when he seconded
the resolutions to make Foraker's nomination
unanimous.
Ex-Congressman Converse, that sterling old
democratic protectionist, has this to say Of the
republican ticket. 1T is yet too early to form
opinion, il will take some little time to learn
the sentiment OF the people of Ohio on
THE QUESTION OF THIRD TERM
am inclined to the opinion, however, that
the republicans have made a mistake in regard
to the platform? 1t is an adroit one, short and
to the point; it is masterpiece Of political
work, and most creditable to those that made it.
Will the democratic platform be of the same
nature Of free trade? That is q question that
no man can answer. 1t is now being dis
cussed, but what the final decision will be
cannot say. 1t should be as near like the Chi
cago platform on which Mr.. Cleveland was
elected as possible"
