hCuTcW, VINO went DNcR OH tHc SpceCll
hc mado for John Sherman when nomi.
mated by the Clark county, convention,
has gone TO tho boncyard.
The fight Is practically over. and tho
country Republicans have determined
not to put tho Ohio Legislature into
tho hands OF the Cincinnati conspira.
tors to carry out tho bchests Of its Tam
many gang. Coxism Is dead in Ohio.
Ohio Republicanism, rs cxempliiied in
Grant, Hayes and Garfield, once more
comes 10 the front and relegates to the
rear the lattcr.day saints who had
seized the party organization in Gin
cinnati, aud only put Oh the curb OF Re-
publicanism the better to serve Satan
and prey upon tho taxpayers. Tho
buccaneers and tho slum politicians Of
the Queen City have had an ometic
that will purifythc politics OF Hamilton
county and put tho party organization
there into decent hands.
Any further opposition to Mr.. Sher-
mans unanimous denomination III tho
joint caucus will show that the Foraker
movement now exists only to breed
mischief to the party and sow further
discussions for future defeats. Alter
tho days emphatic action in the senate
and house Cacuscs there is not a con-
cciyable possibility OF Mr.. Foraker's
nomination, and his friends, to save his
defeat from an ignominious rout and
utter annihilation, should take him of
tho track and let Sherman be the
unanimous nominee.
Ohio Republicans got aroused and
put their feet tlown-and cut went the
conspirators, like McGinty into tho sen.
From 0 4. IN. up to the time OF the as
sembling Of the two caucuses tho Neil
House was in the possession OF prom
enading, talking and elcctioncering
army, and it was hardly possible for u
man to get through the dense crowd. !.
No way could the ex-governor turn to
extricate himself from tho horrible pit
in which the Cincinnati gang had placed
him. He was defeated. George Cox
knew it, and breathcd into the ex-gov-
crnor's ears word OF. hope. Foraker
shook his head and looked glumand
forlorn. twas one of those miserable
moments in Il mans history that can
come only through the most abject
modification, solely brought about by
his own wilful mistakes and blunders.
AS soon rs the ne VS. reached the Neil
house OF Mr.. Laylin's nomination a big
shout went up, far louder and longer
than the big one that greeted the word
outside OF the House hall in the State
House, and the vast throns rushed to
Senator Sherman's room, where the old
Nestor OF Republicanism, wreathed in
smiles, received the advancing army.
Cheers and huzzahs shook the very
walls OF the Neil, and soon the multi
tudc broke into "Auld Lang Syne" and
John Browns Body" Men fell on
one another's nccks, and alternately
laughed and cried inthe exubcrance Of
their Joy. Captain Jacob Donaldson,
Judge Siticld and hundreds OF other
Republican veterans were in smiles,
and made the welkin ring. The Ham
ilton county rooms were filled only
with ladies-and even they didn't seem
in good humor
Another correspondent writes: The
doughty ex-governor has lost none OF
that conviction OF ultimate success
which hus characterized his actions
throughout, if hiG words and outward
demcanor tonight are any criterion OF
his inward thoughts. The Sherman
men say the fight is over; that all that
remains is but pcriunctory formality
the Foraker men say the fight is Just
beginning to get interesting; that sub
ordinate issues are now out OF the way
and the field is only cleared for the
great senatorial contest that is to retire
John Sherman from the United States
senate and place ]. B. Foraker at the
head OF the Republican party in Ohio.
There is another prominent Ohio Re
publican beside Senator Sherman who
does not share this view OF the loyal
friends OF the ex-governor. He is Hon.
Charles Foster, n member Of President
Harrison's cabinet and secretary OF the
national Treasury. z.
Hon. John Shrmda:
Accept my sincere congratulations.
CHARLES FOSTER.
This is the message which Secretary
.Fostcr,sentto Senator Sherman, rs soon
as he had read the bulletin at Washing
ton announcing that the Foraker candi-
date Tor the speakership had been beaten
by the Sherman man by vote OF IS to
81.
There was au air OF intense discour-
agcment in the Foraker quarters imme-
diateiy after the speakcrship caucus,
but the cheerful words OF the eX-Gov-
ernor soon restored q feeling OF conf
dence. Gall is not lost, were tho
words that the Foraker men repeated to
each other. Subsequently this gave
way to eve are in tho fight to stav,n'
and tonight the only'words one hears
are, "Foraker will win yet; wait for the
CAUCUS" Thus, by easy radiations tho
spirits in the Foraker thermometer
have mounted, until tonight the spir-
its OF tho Foraker phalanx have APP
parently forgotten the very cold wave
that swept over their camp but lew
hours since.
Around the headquarters OF Senator
Sherman was all the checrfulness OF
cxpectant victory. 1t being claimed by
tho Senator's friends, and apparently
conceded by tho opposition, that Sher-
man would have q decided majority in
the Senate, and tho Spcakership having
been fought. on Senatorial lines. and
Laylin, the Sherman candidate, selected
by y majority OF four, the friends OF
Senator Sherman quite naturally re-
garded the contest us over, and CON
graduated the veteran statesman on his
victory. Senator Sherman, himself,
who all along has manifested not the
slightest uncasiness over the final ro-
suit, grasped each OF his callers by tho
hand, and thanked the visitor for his
call and his congratulations.
