| After the noise hnd in q measure subsided,

During all this demonstration Senator sher.
man sat quietly reading newspaper In the
Riohlnnd county delegation. Of which he was
member. Foraker's reception must have been
wormwood and gall to the old statesman.
Evsn some OF his best friends say that Sher-
man has been United States Senator long
enough and that now some other younger and
more active Republican should be elected
Senator next winter II tho Republicans elect
the Legislature.
The political Significance OF this Convention
will be seen whom IT is shown that Sherman
has been politically snubbed. In the
first place, 1t was proposed to make
him Chairman OF the Convention. To this
Foraker and his strikers objected. Sherman's
friends urged that he should receive this honor
because OF the exalted place he holds: because
OF his lifetime services 10 the party. and be-
cause It riEhtfully belonged to him. But Bush
nell was selected by the committee.
Then 1t was proposed to endorse Sherman
for United States Senator in the resolutions.
This proposition was also sat down upon and
very hard.
Sherman. however. smiles aud says that he
will take his chances with the rest OF the candI-
dates when the timo comes. II tho Republi.
cans elect the Legislature there will be the
bitterest fight here noxt winter over the Sem.
torship ever known. Sherman. Foraker. AMI
some farmer will be candidates, and oil former
contests will sink into insixnincance.
When Foraker came to the point and men-
toned tho nams OF Major Mckinley there was
another wild seene the name OF the recog-
nized leader Of the party IN tho great contest
to take place In Ohio being most en!husIas-
tlcsly received.
There was no hali-hearted applause when
the name OF President Harrison was men
toned. and over Blaine the Convention won't
wild. keeping UP the enthusiasm at tho mon
ton OF Senator Sherman. Secretary Foster,
and others. and the boys Dscame exceedingly
jubilant when Foraker said that In order that
nobody should be forgotten. I'VE honor every.
body. from grandiather's hat to Baby McKee,"
At tho conclusion Of the speech Gov. Foraker
moved a suspension OF the rules and that tho
nomination OF Mckinley be made by acclama-
tion. mighty yell went up and. after the
applause subsided, Dol Robert Harlan. the
COIOCeo eA-lucuUOE HOm COuutys
who was seated in 1886. whom the Cincinnati
delegation were unscared arose to second the
nomination OF Mckinley and created q great
laugh by getting his phraseolovy mixed and
saying: Mr.. President: l arise to second the
nomin alton OF Gov. Foraker in behalf Of so 600
colored people," Mr.. Harlan was prepared for
the occasion. but the delegates became i'm.
patient and cut on o portion OF his speech By
tho cry OF Time"
