Frseial to THE MORNING CALI

COLUMBUS Ohio, June 1.-THE closing
Of the Ohio Republican State Convention
was unrutfled by any scenes Of dissensiOn.
Every nomination was made on the first
ballot. For every oece, except Governor,
there were from three to half dozen candi-
dates, but on the first ballot the nomination
Of the leading candidate was each time made
unanimous In one respect the proceedings
differed from those which have character
lied Ohio Republican conventions for the
past twenty years-the failure to specially
iudorse the public career and services Of
Hon. John Sherman and recommend his re-
election to the United States Senate. Il
would be an injustice, however, to the ven
cradle Ohio Senator 10 suppose that this
omission was due to a 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 resolution by this con-
vention. The ambition of Foraker to sue
Ceed Sherman in the Senate is well known,
and it was in keeping with the general desire
for harmony and unanimity that Senator
Sherman requested that the coming Sena-
cussiOn. Thus the convention passed off
without a single unseemly dispute or con-
test to mar the proceedings. Foraker him
self paid.a glowing tribute to the character
and nubic services Of Senator Sherman, and
that the euloFy found hearty appreciation
In the breasts OF a majority Of the delegates
was manifest by the tremendous applause
which foil To-day, like yesterday,
was noted for the wild enthusiasm which
greeted every mention Of the name OF James
g. Blaine.
The second day Of the convention opened
with prayer, alter which the report Of the
Committee on Credentials was presented
and adopted.
The Committee on Permanent Organiza-
tiOn reported the name of General Bushnell
for permanent Chairman Of the convention.
