Ohio Republicans.

COLUMBUS, June 1.-THE closing of
the Ohio Republican state convention was
unrufled by any scenes OF disseusion.
Every nomination was made on the first
ballot. For every Office except governor
there were from three to half dozen can
didates, but on the first ballot the nomina-
ton OF the leading candidate was each
time made unanimous. In n respect
the proceedings differed from those which
have characterized Ohio Republican con-
ventions for the past twenty years
failure to specially endorse the public
career and services of Hon. John Sher-
man and recommend his reelection to the
United States senate. 1t would be an In
Justice, however, to the venerable Ohio
senator to suppose this omission was due
to a lack OF Sherman men in the con-
vention. 1t was due to the personal re-
quest of the senator that his friends make
no effort to secure the adoption of the
accustomed resolution by this con-
vention. The ambition of Foraker to
succeed Sherman iD the senate Is well
known, and it was IN keeping with the
general desire for harmony aud .nanimity
that Senator Sherman requested that the
coming senatorial contest be not made the
subject of discussion. Thus the convention
passed off without a single unseemIy dis
pute or contest to mar the proceedings.
Foraker himself paid a glowing tribute to
the character and public services of SEN
ator Sherman, and that the eulogy found
hearty appreciation in the breasts of a
majority of the delegates was manifest by
the tremendous applause which followed.
Today, like yesterday. was noted for the
wild enthusiasm which greeted every
mention of the name of james G. Blaine.
Senator Sherman. referring to the cur
rency question. spoke at some length,
saying the Deonle want good money and
plenty OF it. They want all their money
OF equal value, 50 that a dollar will be the
same whether made of gold or paper. The
demand TOR free coinage OF silver without
= limit is a demand that the people of the
United States shall pay for silver bull
lion more than its market price; a de-
mand that ought not to be made BY the
producer OF any commodity. There is no
Justice or equity in 1t. If granted
by the United States alone, it
will demonetize gold and derange
all business transactions OF our people.
There is no power strong enough 10
establish a fixed ratio of value except by
the concurrence of the chief commercial
nations of the world. What we ought to
do and what we do now under the silver
law OF the last congress- conservative
Republican measure-is to buy the entire
product Of the silver mines in the United
States at its market value and upon the
security of that silver deposited in the
treasury issue treasury notes to the ful!
o of the cost of the bullion. 10
this way we add annually to our rational
currency circulation notes of undoubted
value, equal to gold tn an amount equal
to. or greater, than the increase of our
population and the increasing business of
our growing country.
