was unruffied by any scenes of dissension.
ballot For every of1cer except governor
there were from three to half dozen can
didates, but on the first ballot the nomina-
ton of the leading candidates was each
time made unanimous. In one respect the
proceedings differed from those which
have characterized Ohio Republican con-
ventions for the past twenty years-the
failure to specially endorse the public
career and services Of Hon. John Sherman
and recommend his denomination to the
United States Senate. 1t would be an in
justice, however, to tho venerable Ohio
Senator to suppose the omission was due
to lack Of Sherman men in the convention.
1t was due to the personal request Of the
Senator that his friends make no effort to
secure the adoption Of the accustomed res
olution by this convention. The ambition
of Foraker to succeed Senator Sherman in
the Senate is well known, and it was in
keeping with the general desire for har-
mony and unanimity that Senator Sherman
requested that the coming senatorial con-
:est be not made the subject of discussion.
Thus the convention passed off without a
single unseemly dispute or contest to mar
the proceedings. Foraker himself paid q
glowing tribute to the character and public
services of Senator Sherman, and that the
euIogy found a hearty appreciation in the
breast Of a majority of the delegates was
manifest by the tremendous applause
which followed. To-day, like yesterday
was noted for the wild enthusiasm which
greeted every mention of the name of j. O.
| Blaine.
The second day of the Republi
can state convention opened with
prayer, after which the report of the
committee on credentials was presented
and adopted. The committee on perma-
nent organization reported the name Of
General Bushnell for permanent chairman
OF the convention. His address was brief
Nominations were then declared In order
and Ex-Governor Foraker arose to present
the name of William Mckinley for COVER
nor. When he appeared the delegates
fairly went wild with enthusiasm. He
said:
] Gentlemen OF the convention:
81 have now most PLEASING
which we are about to enter is
to be in some respects OF an unusual char
acter. Not only is the goveinorship oil
Ohio at stake, but the contest involves
more than the governorship, mere than the
general assembly, more than public insti-
| buttons; il reaches into national politics; q
United States Senator will depend upon
its result, and more important still than al
this, it will determine whether Ohio is TO
60 into the great national contest al '92 al
the head of the Republican or at the head
of the Democratic column. Applause.
We shall win this fight, but we must MOI

ingly, and to that end we must select oul

One man there is who, measured by the ex

cheers and applause. There are many rea
sons why he should be nominated. In the
first place he is tried and it is no expert

party in both field and forum. His tari1
course has been one of patriotic conviction
and time will justify this conviction
