favor of those in force in the Ohio House
Of Representatives, that the vote OF no dele
gate or delegates shall be changed after 1t
has been announced; that the chairman OF
each delegation shall announce the vote,
etc. Nominating speeches were limited TO
Iifteen minutes and seconding speeches TO
five minutes.
The Committee on Resolutions not being
ready to report, the regular order of bust
ness was proceeded with, and Hon. G. l..
Weems, of Belmont county, presented the
name of the Hon Christian L. Poorman as
the candidate from his county in a speech
that apparently caught the popular pulse
of the convention. The nomination was
seconded by DR.. A. c. Armstrong, OF
Monroe county.
U.C. Deford, ex-Mayor of Carrollton,
presented the name of Hon, VIM Mccoy
as the candidate of Carroll county.
Judge John S. Pearce at first attempted
to make his speech nominating ex-Attorney
General David A. Hollingsworth, of Har-
rison county, from the floor, but the con-
vention wouldn't have it that way, and he
had to take up a position on the stage
There was much applause, but it was hard
TO tell whether il was intended as COM
pllment TO Judge Pearce or General Hol-
lingsworth. All the candidates were good
men, but none quite so good as Harrison
county's favorite son.
John NJ. Cook, Esq, took the stage to
place in nomination eX-Lieut Governor
Rees G.. Richards, and it was Immediately
seen that the Committee Of Arrangements
had made good use of the tickets OF admls-
sion at their disposal, for the clapping Of
hands and cheering lasted several minutes,
which was supplemented by
Harrison county delegate crying out
sarcastically, ''Hurrah for Cookm
The nomination was seconded by j. a. b.
Wood, Esq, of Steubenvenville Monroe
county had no candidate to place in noml-
nation.
The Committee on Resolutions here
presented its set Of resolutions to the effect
that they adhered to the principles of the
national platform of 1888. They also com
plimented Harrison and Blaine and spoke
In high praise of Mckinley as the author
OF the idea Of high tariff, which was Re
publicanism personitied.
