COLUMBUS, o., Aug. SO.-Tho Republi-
cans OF Franklin county held a rousing
convention here and placed in nomina-
ton the general county ticket. The
important feature OF the entire pro-
ceedings was the victory scored by the
Sherman men over the Foraker follow
ers, and this seems SO surprising from
the fact that Franklin county was con-
silcred one of the ex.governor's strong
holds. In the selection OF candidates
for representatives, itseemed imminent
that General Walcutt, warm sup
porter OF Sherman, had the field. In
order to checkmate this to some de-
gree, Forakcr's friends pushed the name
Of Frank Dcane, in hopes OF securing
in him man to offset Walcutt. The
other candidate OF prominence was
Charles Marion, Jr., who was consid-
cred lukewarm Foraker man. When
it came to bAlloting, however, General
Walrutt and Charles Marion went
through In tiving coiors, but Deane
was downed by John Everal, strong
Sherman enthusiast. Thus Sherman
captured two Of the legislative candi-
dates, and his victory is more apparent
when it is known that, Of the three,
General Walcuit is probably the only
one to secure election. There was per-
feet unaniuity in the selection OF the
balance OF the ticket
1t is n fact, much regretted, that the
Toledo Commercial, the Republican organ
OF the northwestern part Of the State,
stands forth strongly for free silver. 1t
was, therefore, very appropriate that
Senator Sherman made hts initial
speech at Paulding, showing in his
clear, iorcible speech, the error in hold
ing to this position upon such an i'm
portant issue. The results OF his efforts
in that field are indeed Aattering..
The enemies OF Chairman Barnes, of
the executive committee, Peoples
party, are holly after his scalp. The
chairman does not hold with wild en-
thusiasm in his speeches that the Peo-
pies party will carry everything By
storm this fall. IN that he is more con-
sentative and realizes that there will be
no great revolution in politics this
campaign, the cranks in the party have
an idea that he is not sincere. They
are therefore making ii warm for him.
One OF the charges, with which he was
Obliged to do some vigorous wrestling TO
explain while in this city an evening or
two since, was that he had been misap-
prOprating campaign funds to some eX-
lent for the benefit of his own paper,
the Plow and Ndmnlsr. Publishers Of
other party organs, perhaps realizing
less out Of the campaign than they had
anticipated, sought in this way to de.
caT itate him from craftsmanship, and
ARE still making it uncomfortable for
him.
Governor Campbell now realizes that
all OF his efforts will be required to
push the campaign This fall onl has de-
cided to defer his seashore trip. lie
has nearly recovered from his recent
illness and wants to start on his tour
early in September. lie intends to put
more stress on the Tariff question than
the Silver plant, but in either he will
find some uphill work, from former or
present views which he has against
both.
Major Mckinley has now all OF his
dates listed IRON the present until
September 18th, speaking every after
noon und evening in different places.
Labor day, September I, will find him
addressing an assemblage in Cincinnati.
cx-Gov. Foraker will also be actively
engaged ut the different fairs through
ont the State and will he out until
October 9th. General Z. IL. Grosvenor,
Hon. X. q. Ilorr and Gen. Nathan
Golf have made preparations to help
in the work.
