COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 16.-The cap.
ital of the Buckeye state Is bubbling
over with Republican enthusiasm. It is
the biggest crowd that has been drawn
together by any political state conven-
tion since war times. There are score
or more of workers to every delegate,
and the hotels, clubs, as we'll as the de-
partment rooms of the state house are
packed with energetic and perspiring
advocates of. one or the other of the
candidates whose names will be placed
before the convention. A hearty re-
ception was accorded Maj. William
Mckinley. He reached the city shortly
after II o'clock, on special train OF
fifteen coaches, the run from his home
il Canton, 107 miles, having been made
in little over two hours. Accompany
ing was the entire Stark county delega-
ton, and several hundred Of his old
friends and neighbors. Other delega-
tions were taken on en- route, and what
with the music, crowds at the country
stations and the enthusiasm aboard the
train, the trip was
Ono Continuous Ovation
to the prospective nominee. At Orrville
tho Tippecanoe club, of Cleveland,
joined the party. Notwithstanding the
sweltering heat fully 5000 people were
gathered at the union depot, and, upon
making his appearance, the major was
accorded a genuine Ohio welcome. The
menbe1s OF the Lincoln, Foraker,
Blaine and other clubs were there in
force with flags and banners and music
and more like returning conqueror
than Il coming nominee he was escorted
up the main street, ,ffinged on either side
with cheering shouting people, to his
quarters at the Neil house.
Their Respects to Sherman.
The manifestation of an anti-Sherman
feeling in the convention seems to have
disappeared before the influx Of dele
gates 70 ali outward appearances the
veteran statesman is as popular as ever
among the rank and file, and through
out the day delegation after delegation
made Itii!;rilnage to bis rooms to bear
him greetings. He has caused it to be
given out officially that he docs not ask
or seek or want any demonstration in
his behalf at this convention, and that
he Is especially opposed to the presenta-
tion of any resolution that would COM
| NIT the party through its regular organ
ization to his candidacy for reelection
| as senator. If it comes to him at all, he
says, it must come as a voluntary tender
after the election of the next general
assembly.
The convention was called to order at
2:30 p. m., in the Grand opera house by
L. w. King, and Col. R. M. Nevin, OF
Dayton, was presented as temporary
chairman. After his address the usual
committees were announced and an ad.
iournment taken until morning. The
chief contest is for the lieutenant gov.
ernorship between Charles P. Griffin, Of
Toledo; Andrew Harris, Preble county
farmer, and W. Barger, of Pike. Grif.
| fin is in the lead.
Bushnell Permanent Chairman.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, June ia. S,
Bushnell, of Springfield, is to be the
permanent chairman of the Republican
convention. It took the committee just
| forty-fve minutes to nominate this man.
| The result is a signal defeat for Senator
! John Sherman and corresponding vic
tory for Joseph B. Foraker. The latter
| had eighteen members out of twenty
| one. Sherman was not even placed il
| nomination although it had all along
| been understood that in coming here q
! y delegate at large he had expected to
| preside over the gathering, but the sen.
timent was too strongly against him
| Forakcr's Reception.
Foraker arrived at 1915 p. m. and was
! escorted from the depot with honors
fully equal to those paid to Maj. Nc
Kinley earlier in the day. When the
hotel was reached he made brief ad'
dress in which, alludins to the prevail
| ing topic, he said that he had no per
| sonal motives to grind or to serve. AL
he wanted was the good will of his
! party and of his fellow men. If he had
the good will then other people could
have everything else.
