Convention Notes.
In his speech Mr.. Sherman paid high
tribute to Mr.. Mckinley and his tariff bill
and spoke against the free coinage Of silver.
Secretary Of the Treasury Foster was de-
tanned at Washington, but sent an address.
AT 4O'clock the convention adjourned sine
die.
The failure to specially endorse the public
career and services of Hon. John Sherman,
and recommend his reelection to the United
States Senate, was not due to a lack of Sher-
man men in the convention. but rather to the
personal request Of the Senator that his
friends make no effort to secure the adoption
Of the accustomed resolution by this con-
venti0n. Senator Sherman requested that
the coming senatorial contest be not made a
subject Of discussion, and that no endorse
ment be extended to him which did not In
clude the entire Ohio Republican delegation
In Congress.
Today like yesterday was noted for the
wild enthusiasm which greeted every men
tinn of the nama of .Iamas q. Blaine.
