NOW In THE FIELD.
REPUBLICANS MEET AND MAKE THEIR COUN-
TY TICKET.
7. O Mofas Placed in Nomination for ShsriS-Ths
State and Congressional Delegatss-Sscrstary
Curtis Winds Up in Call for
Blaine and Reid.

The returns are not all In, to be sure,
but II there was any warmer place on
this oblate spheroid than the top story
of Busby's block, on Market street, yes
terday afternoon, sympathy is extended
to the occupants. 1t was almost as
warm as that talismanic place Of which
Dante speaks. II was here that the Re-
publicans OF Ohio county met in con-
yention to make the ticket that will toss
In the breeze this fall. The sun beat
down upon the roof unrelentlessly,
hardly a breath of wind or the slightest
intimation OF a zephyr being felt al the
score or more windows that were vide
open. There was u constant hopping
of brows, and the only relief afforded
was two pals OF ice water which were
frequently replenished. II is not likely
that the Republicans Of Ohio county will
get so warm again during the entire
campaign.
CONVENTION OPENS.
The delegates were we'll assembled at
half-past two o'clock, when the conven-
ton was called TO order by T. c. Moi
fat. chairman of the County Executive
Committee, and the first question be-
fore the house was the selection OF a
temporary chairman. Thos. Davidson
was selected, and George A. Dunning-
ton was temporary secretary. Mr..
Davidson, upon taking the chair, made
brief and energetic speech, in which
70 N n
Of the party is now unfurled, and with
it the practices and principles OF the
party. He admonished the brethren to
grid up their IONS and get down to
business TO help carry the grand old
party TO victory.
The report Of the Committee on Gre
dentials was then called for, but in place
OF the customary report, on motion OF
J. c. Brady, the Secretary read the list
OF delegates as appeared in the morning
papers, the chairman OF each district
reporting whether or not they were
correct. The list as published in REG
lister on Sunday morning was prac-
tically correct.
Richard Robertson then moved that a
committee Of one from each district be
appointed to act as Committee on Per
manent Organization, on Basis Of Rep
reseutation, and on Order Of Business.
On motion of w. II. Hearne it
was amended by adding also
Committee on Resolutions. The motion
as amended prevailed. Mr.. Brady also
suggested that this same committee
bring in a list of the State and Congress
sional delegates and Senatorial con-
ferees, but on a suggestion of the chair
man who thought il best not to over
load the committee, this suggestion
was removed. This committee was
appointed by the delegates OF the re-
spective districts as follows:
Washington-ChaS. Banner.
Madison-W. II. Hearne,
Clay-G Ed. Mendel.

Centre-O. p. Miller.

Ritchie-John Wright, Jr.
Triadelpha-J. c. Brady.
Richland-CaDt VIM. North.

The Convention then took recess OF
fifteen minutes and the committee re-
paired 10 one end OF the hall Where they
quickly transacted the business devolv-
ing upon them.
