no SECOND BALIOTTSG.
Early in the day the practice was established
OF taking single ballot and then, ere the result
was announced, changing 70 the leading candi-
this way there was no second ballot for the same
ofice throughout the whole days proceedings.
SHERMAN GIVEN THE COLD SHOULDER.
In one other respect to-day's proceedings were
different from those which have characterized Re
publican State conventions for the past twenty
years-the failure to specially endorse the public
career and services Of John sherman, and re-
commend his recollection 20 the United States
Senate. AZ would be an injustice, however, TO the
venerable Ohio Senator TO suppose this omission
was due 70 a lack Of Sherman men in the convon-
tion. IL was rather due 10 the personal request
Of the Senator that his friends make no effort 70
secure the adoption Of tho accustomed resolu-
tiOn by this convention.
FORAKER PREPARED TO FIGHT.
The ambition Of Ex-Governor Foraker TO sue
ceed Sherman In tho United States Senate Is
well known, and IL was in keeping with the gene
raj desire for harmony and unanimity that Sher-
man requested that the coming senatorial con-
test be not made the subject Of discussion and
that no official courtesy be extended TO him
which did not include the entire Ohio Republi-
can delegation In Congress. There Il little
doubt that resolution specially urging the re-
election OF Sherman by the next Legislature
would have been opposed by the particular ad-
mirers Of Foraker, but the friends Of Sherman
insist that they could have carried such resolu-
tion despite all opposition had not cir ardor
been checked by their leader.
WILD ENTHUSIASM FOR BLAINE.
To-day, like yesterday, was noted for the wild
enthusiasm which greeted every mention Of the
name OF James G.. Blaine, and there Is either
already organized formidable Blaine boom In
the State OF Ohio or else the spOntaneity Of good
feeling manifested towards the Secretary OF
State marks him as the favorite Of the Buckeye
State.
