These are the nominees who compose
the winning ticket nominated by the
Republicans OF Ohio county in conven.
ton assembled Saturday afternoon.
Tho convention was peculiarly har.
moniora considering that two very
earnest contests were settled. The op.
position was oil In good spirit, and the
cheerful air which prevailed, and the
enthusiasm manifested, were In striking
contrast to tho recent Democratic county
convention, which had to make several
attempts before 1t could complete a
ticket.
Not so this convention. It was there
for business, ind 1t went about 1t with a
dlrectness and vim seldom observed In a
like body. There vas no waste OF time
in useless o%ulosies. 1u all respects the
convention was a model.
II had been called To meet In the Police
Court room, but owing to tho bad &c.
commoaa,ions there 1t was decided 10
move upstairs into the chamber OF the
Second Branch Of Council. That cou :
modious roof was vel crowded with
the delegates, all Of the hundred dele
gates elected being present but two, who
were represented by proxies.
