Thud at the General Muster Day
in November.

The result of much political travail
ing of Ihe republicans of the 33d sena-
torial district in convention assembled
at Toledo, Friday. resulted in t. II.
McConica, of Hancock, and John C..
Rorick, of Fulton, being sent to the
"bulI pen" TO be lead forth in NOveIn-
her and slaughtered. They were nom
mated on the Sd ballot for state sena-
tors with not IA single iota of show for
All election.
The Toledo Commercial claims that
the convention was "a rather disgrunt-
led affair. To begin with, IA suitable
place for holding the same was diff
cult to find, but not Oh account of num-
bers present, for the convention was
not largely attended. A flat refusal
was the result of their request for Mem
oIial Hall. Walbrldge Hall was re-
sorted to, which proved veritabe
sweat box.
After the usual vindictive resolu-
tons and other red tape, the names Of
John G.. Rorick, Hancock; J. b. Couch,
Henry; Murphey Phineas Brewer,
Wood; 4. H. McCornica, Fulton; Isaac
ID. Smead, Lucas; and T. c. Harbough,
Putnam; We're presented with more or
less bombastic OratOry, listened to re-
luctantly by the sweltering delegates.
Isaac Smead said substantially y when
his name was announced, "No, no, |
cannot accept the office. My business
will not permit it," But several sim
tlooential" reps. told him he could get
there all right if nominated. There
upon Ike jumped up and said, II am
in the hands of my friends, and will
devote my time, night and day, in at
tending to the office" 1t is hard to
tell what disposition was made of his
"business."
The first aIIotresuted: Harbough,
6S; Brewer, 81; McConica, 105; Smead,
lO5; Couch, As; Rorick, 1lS. No choice.
Second ballot: Harbough, 81;
Brewer, 50; McConica, 10; Smead,
l22; Couch, 3S; Rorick, 10. Brewer
and Harbough were withdrawn.
The next ballot was soon taken, but
before announced scene of wild con-
fusion took place, at least half dozen
demanding that they be permitted to
change their ballots. Precedents were
over-stepped and both Lucas and
Hancock allowed to tamper with the
vote. The final ballot resulted:
