The Chairman of tho Ohio Body steals n
March on tho Foraker Men.
CLEVELAND, O., April 27.--Promptly at
$50 o'clock the State republican conven
ton began at the Cleveland music hall in
the presence Of an unusually large and OK
cited assemblage.
Judge King, chairman Of the State CEN
trial committee, in introducing the Foraker
temporary chairman, stole a march on the
latter gentleman, and in neat lit
tie address contrived to name before
any one else the great apostle of protection
and omit any reference TO ex-Gov. Foraker.
Hearty applause was elected instantly at
McKinley's name, and the Forakers were
somewhat taken aback but got their revenge
when Judge King later on referred to Sec
rotary Biaino. An uproar of applause fol
lowed from all sides Of the hall, several
times renewed. President Harrison s name
was also loudly cheercd.

delegates and spectators alike, were on their
feet asserting with voices and arms till they
grew black in the face.
Ex-Gov. Foraker, after an ovation last
ing nearly five minutes, made a brief ad
dress. The naming of the four alternates-
at-large, h. II. Nevin, Z. W. Poe, N. NJ.
Boothman and J. +. Atwood, seemed but
the work of a moment.
Lorenzo T. Sanford Of Belmont and Ny
ron T. Herrick OF Cleveland were made the
